The I Ching has so many uses and is such an in depth tool, far beyond my understanding, and I understand several things, but….

The I Ching can be very useful as a divination tool but it will be well to keep in mind that it is constantly talking about us, and what craziness is going on deep within our heads. It is well to remember that when we ask a question of...

This is not disrespect or improper use of the oracle, because it acts as it should, which is as a mirror of the person you are.

Equally, ask the oracle what you need to come to terms with to get to know your soul better, and it'll give you something to work with, for the same reason - it mirrors you, your attitudes and understandings.

So far, so good - we've got a decent topic about which we can...

I have received this answer so many times since the end of last September that it now has its very own folder in my inbox (15 on record altogheter so far).

I would really appreciate your help in connecting different aspects of this answer, i.e., Hexagram 24/ Line 1/ Hexagram 2, and interpreting them into a meaningful whole.

My questions, by the way, ranged from 'How do I best fulfil my purpose?'...

I am single and would like a partner and am generally craving to be with someone. I keep thinking about my ex which may just be to do with wanting to be with someone rather than him specifically (who knows but he is unavailable anyway so there's no point in considering that as an option). I was trying to understand if the craving was for him or just generally so I asked:
