DOES THE I CHING GIVE YES-OR-NO ANSWERS?

 


DOES THE I CHING GIVE YES-OR-NO ANSWERS?

The I Ching cannot give yes-or-no answers. The reason is simple: How much effort and risk you are prepared to take depends on what you hope to achieve. This is something you have to decide for yourself. In addition, you often have little or no choice but to proceed, whether the oracle is good or otherwise. 


The I Ching does not give orders; it merely advises, and the yes-or-no is up to you! If you have to move with an unfavorable oracle, you must simply be more careful and perhaps change your strategy. 

I will give you an example: "Moving to Cambodia". 

Moving to Cambodia.  

The oracle for this move was not so good, but it was the best choice available, and with a lot of effort, it worked out well.
