Andy's romantic trip to Prague. Hexagram 11, line 3

Andy's romantic trip to Prague. Hexagram 11, line 3

 

Here is a sample story of an I Ching prediction outcome. We need to collect many more of these to demonstrate how useful the I Ching can be. Like to volunteer? It only takes a few minutes on video call.

Question: How will my trip to Prague to visit my girlfriend go?

 Context: A journey on a romantic quest

Outcome:

I went to Prague to visit my girlfriend, Theresa. I was considering making this romance a more permanent one. This trip was a serious test to see if it would work. Traveling was easy and Prague lived up to its reputation as a beautiful and ancient city. The weather was good too. I am a bit of a traveler and so is she.

We had spent some time together in Cambodia. I wanted to see if the relationship could become something more solid. I also wanted to see Prague. Traveling was no problem. Everything went well. However, the relationship was strained. While we were in Cambodia, she was much more relaxed. But in Prague, she seemed tense and easily upset. Sometimes we were happy together and sometimes we were miles apart. 

We never had a real fight. We never officially broke up. I was thinking about whether I wanted to continue with her. A couple of weeks later though, I heard from a mutual friend that she did not want to see me ever again!

 

Analysis:

- The trip was safe and there were no travel problems.

- The destination was interesting and exciting.

- Relationship was strained and unstable

- The purpose of the trip was not successful.

 

 My prediction:

The trip will be safe, but it will be an emotional roller coaster. It will be interesting and exciting, but there will be no significant accomplishments. You should do your best to keep your balance in unstable conditions.

My prediction was quite accurate, but it was a little bit too optimistic. I was not sure what would happen with the relationship. I thought it best not to say too much. In the end, the trip was a clarification of the situation, and that may have been just what he had been in need of. Provided there is no great danger it is usually better to proceed.

 

Traditional text:

Line 3 means:

       No level without a slope. No going without returning.

      He who perseveres in danger

       Is without guilt.

       Do not complain about this truth;

       Enjoy the happiness you still have.

 

 The traditional text for this line is quite accurate.

THAILAND FOR ME WAS A DANGEROUS WOMAN, hexagram 17 FOLLOWING, line 5

HEX 17 I Ching: Richard Wilhelm Translation (wisdomportal.com)

 THAILAND FOR ME WAS A DANGEROUS, hexagram 17 FOLLOWING, line 5


        °Nine in the fifth place means:
        Sincere in the good. Good fortune.

Every man must have something he follows— something that serves him as a 
lodestar. He who follows with conviction the beautiful and the good may feel 
himself strengthened by this saying.

 

I lived there a long time, but I will only give a brief summary. I moved to Thailand because I had health problems and wanted to rest and sort them out.

I learned Thai and tried to settle in, but somehow it did not work out, no matter how hard I tried.

When I arrived, I was relatively rich; when I left, I was skint. All the business I did were profitable at first, but ran into bad luck. My health did not improve much either.

I am not saying Thailand is a bad place, just that it was not the right place for me.

I went there because it was easy, and given what I now know about this line, this was my big mistake. I should have taken more trouble to check other locations. Now I live in Cambodia which has been more lucky for me.

Check out this same prediction line here. A DANGEROUS WOMAN. Hexagram 17: Following, line 5.

And here for my move to Cambodia  Moving to Cambodia

IS THE I CHING ALWAYS RIGHT?


Is the I Ching always right?

Was the I Ching written by some divine agency using the human writer as a conduit? If so, it should always give a correct answer. Any apparent discrepancy between the oracle and the result will be caused by misinterpretation of the traditional text. 

On the other hand, if it was written by humans, then there is no such guarantee.

We normally predict the future by looking at the past. This is most likely what the ancients did. They consulted a random oracle, noted the response and observed what transpired. They would have been principally interested in whether the fortune was good or bad. Was the hunt successful, with plenty of game and no injuries? Or was it a disaster—the hunters being attacked and killed by another tribe? They would note what the oracle was and remember it for next time. If it was consistent in meaning over several occasions, they would know they correctly defined its meaning. The result of their efforts was codified into the I Ching we read today. T

I am personally convinced that this is how the I Ching was written, and in this blog, I am attempting to prove it. I am doing this by making predictions and comparing outcomes. The results are posted here, and you can make your own mind up. mind up. Better yet why not try yourself? If you contact me and make a prediction, then your story can be published.

HEXAGRAM 42, LINE 3: BAD TOOTH! I CHING FOR HEALTH

 

Hexagram 42, Increase - I Ching

HEXAGRAM 42, LINE 3: BAD TOOTH! I CHING FOR HEALTH

FULL TRADITIONAL TEXT

The I Ching can be used successfully for health problems. I had a toothache in my lower rear molar. I have been having problems with gum infections for years, so I thought this might be the cause. The dentist, however, found a cavity and duly filled it. I thought that was the end of the matter, but no, the pain returned. The dentist now said it was a gum infection. I tried antibiotics, which only worked while I took them. I cleaned, flossed, and used mouthwash after each meal, but to no avail. Then I had an idea. I had noticed the dentist used saline to clean the teeth, so I thought I would try. I made a batch up and flushed my mouth with it several times a day. This made a noticeable improvement, but it was still not quite good enough. Then I added a little hydrogen peroxide to the solution. This worked very well, and I have had no trouble since.

 Six in the third place means:
        One is enriched through unfortunate events.
        No blame, if you are sincere
        And walk in the middle,
        And report with a seal to the prince.

A time of blessing and enrichment has such powerful effects that even events 
ordinarily unfortunate must turn out to the advantage of those affected by 
them. These persons become free of error, and by acting in harmony with 
truth they gain such inner authority that they exert influence as if sanctioned 
by the letter and seal.

This was not the first time I had this oracle, and so I knew it was worse than it sounds. The first time I had it, things did not work out well at all. HEX 42 LINE 3: BAD BUSINESS

This time, because I had a better idea of what to expect, it worked out pretty much in line with the traditional text. This was a complex situation that needed to be unraveled carefully to get the truth. I had to find the true cause to find the correct solution, and this took several stages. In the end, I found the way. The first time I failed, I did not recognize the problem fully and take steps to deal with it early on before it became serious.

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.

HEXAGRAM 42 LINE 3 - BAD BUSSINESS!



If you love I Ching, please, follow, share and leave a comment. Lady Luck (Mother Random) will smile upon you!

      FOLLOW HERE

FULL TRADITIONAL TEXT


HEXAGRAM 42 LINE 3

BAD BUSSINESS!

Compare with:   HEXAGRAM 42, LINE 3: BAD TOOTH! I CHING FOR HEALTH

I was running a small guest house in Thailand. It was not easy to find staff at that time, so I used my housekeeper to help me run the place. She did not have a great reputation for honesty, but I had no personal problem with her on that score. You never know with these kinds of stories because people might have been jealous, she had a good job and tried to make trouble for her. I consulted the I Ching and received hex 42. INCREASE, line 3. 

Line 3 means: One is enriched through unfortunate events.

No blame, if you are sincere

And walk in the middle,

And report with a seal to the prince.

A time of blessing and enrichment has such powerful effects that even events ordinarily unfortunate must turn out to the advantage of those affected by them. These persons become free of error, and by acting in harmony with truth they gain such inner authority that they exert influence as if sanctioned by the letter and seal.

Back then, I had no experience with this line and took the advice to mean that there was something irregular about the situation but that all would be well.

Things were OK until I got sick and was in the hospital for some time. I had no choice but to leave my housekeeper in charge as there were guests in residence. When I got out though, I found she had left the day before. The rents, money for food, and the float were all gone as well! 

Since then, I have had more examples of this line and now I am quite sure it is no good at all.

Other lines in Hex 42

Line 1: Best line! A powerful harbinger of good fortune that comes three times almost by itself. 

Line 2. Good, but more effort on your part is required than in line 1.

Line 3: Avoid bad people.

Line 4: Continuing with projects brings success.

Line 5. Positive and lucky

Line 6: Not enough experience to be certain.

 Note: this story was really much longer with twists and turns. I edited down as it was a bit boring and so as not to confuse the reader.

(ATLANTIS), THOUGHTS ON THE MOTHER CIVILIZATION - THREAD FOR CONVERSATION

I am not an expert on ancient civilizations, some things make me wonder that is all. 


There is much lively debate as to whether Atlantis really existed and where it might have been situated. What is less discussed is what the mother civilization might have been like to live in—how did it rise and fall?

There must have been a first city-state that set the foundation and blueprint for all that was to come. History appears to show that civilizations rise and fall at an ever-accelerating pace. So the first city could have been active for thousands of years. As it has completely disappeared, it must have collapsed a long time ago.

What did the city look like? Could it have had the same design as the ancient cities we know of? Some kind of pyramid in the center of town. A city wall enclosing houses and shops in a grid pattern?

 

Did she become a brutal colonial power? Corrupt and decadent at home, cruel and brutal abroad. Is that how she fell? That, with some variation, is how just about every civilization has fallen since. 

 

What do you think? Please feel free to comment.

HEXAGRAM 50 LINE 4. DEAD HARDRIVE. (Ongoing prediction updated 20 september)



ONGOING PREDICTION UPDATED 20 SEPTEMBER


Hexagram 50. The Cauldron. Line 4 - Lost Data 


 

This is another example of the importance of context in interpreting the I Ching. It also demonstrates the value of a secondary prediction to clarify matters.

One morning, my computer refused to boot. I guessed it was a hardware problem and consulted the I Ching as to how serious this might be. Receiving hex 50, line 4, was not reassuring. This is line means a big problem.

I then asked a second question, "Would I need to buy another computer?". The answer was 20: Contemplation, line 3. which means a long pause. So, I predicted that the problem would be serious but that the computer could be fixed.

The engineer at the computer shop told me the hard drive was dead and no data could be recovered. As it had been 11 days since I had backed up my work, this was lost. However, I only backed up my most essential work, and all my older memories, videos, and photos were gone! Personal history does not bother me much, so I took the loss without getting too upset.

The next morning, the computer was fixed with a new solid-state hard drive for just $38. This worked much better, and I realized the reason why the machine had been so slow was this problem. So, this was a real loss, but it has not hindered my work.

    Line 4 means:

        The legs of the ting are broken.

        The prince's meal is spilled

        And his person is soiled.

        Misfortune.

Context: if a problem has not yet occurred, it will be possible to avoid one. On the other hand, if a problem has already arisen, then it can only be mitigated. In this instance, the latter was the case. By acting quickly and using a reliable engineer, I was able to lose only one day of work. The eleven days of work lost were my own fault, as I had thought it was time to backup, but got distracted and did not do it. So, I was "soiled" somewhat. All the old data I lost could not be helped, as I had no means of backing it all up.

This prediction was made 13 September 2023. UPDATE: 19 September. The fan started getting very noisy. Will the fan last a while? The secondary was 20 line 3. This means to pause. My guess is the fan will keep working for some time to come.

THE GREATEST PROBLEM INTERPRETING I CHING - CONTEXT

LOVE I CHING? Keep this blog alive!

THE GREATEST PROBLEM INTERPRETING I CHING - CONTEXT

Context is the great source of misinterpretation, disappointment, and sometimes misfortune. I Ching oracle lines usually have two contexts, but only one is given in the traditional text. For example, hex 22. Grace which is favorable for essential matters only, and one should not expend energy on trivial matters. Hex 23 Splitting apart means there are problems in all cases, and it is unfavorable for any new venture or change of direction. However, if you continue with what you are doing patiently, the problem will pass and all will be well. Only the first context I give here appears in the traditional text. 

HEX 23 EXAMPLE OF CORRECT CONTEXT

HEX 17 EXAMPLE OF CORRECT CONTEXT


There are many other examples I could give.  The consultee assumes the context given in the text refers to what they are planning to do. Often times, it does not and so, they may act when they should wait, and wait when should act. 

To the consultee, it appears the same line is sometimes favorable, sometimes not, and they don’t know why. Their confidence in the I Ching is diminished unnecessarily.

All the examples I give here show context clearly, and in time I hope to have covered every line in this way. To speed up this process, please consider contacting me and making a prediction about a trip or event you have planned. I will interpret your prediction at no charge, provided you promise to tell me your story after the event. Together, we can build a massive database of I Ching stories. Then, when someone wishes to consult, they can view the experiences others had after receiving the same oracle. This will be far more informative than just reading the predictions in the traditional I Ching. Verifying I Ching lines in this way is a most important and noble endeavor guaranteed to earn merit for all who participate.

Hexagram 44-line 5 TEACHING ENGLISH IN THE MONASTERY



TRADITIONAL TEXT

Hexagram 44-line 5 TEACHING ENGLISH IN THE MONASTERY

I was in Laos, where I had been teaching school. It was the end of spring term and to my dismay, the promised summer school was cancelled at short notice. This left me with no job until September and no guarantee of a fresh contract even then. A Laotian friend of mine asked me if I would like to teach at a local monastery for the summer. There was no money, but I could sleep and eat for free. This seemed like a good stopgap, and so I agreed. I had experience with this hexagram and line, so I had some idea of what to expect.

Hexagram 44 always means there is good fortune at first, but it does not last. This line is the most favorable and the good fortune is the longest and most problem-free.

I was allowed to sleep on the floor in the abbot's chambers. The food was excellent, all specially prepared by local people. The classes were informal, with lots of games and songs. They were a big hit with the kids. I spent a pleasant and relaxing month before it was time to move on. I decided to move to Cambodia, so I was glad to be rested and ready for this big move.

Wilhelm/Baynes: Coming to Meet. The maiden is powerful. One should not marry such a maiden.

My interpretation.

You are dealing with someone stronger than yourself. You should not make any long-term commitments.  

Wilhelm/Baynes: A melon covered with willow leaves. Hidden lines. Then it drops down to one from heaven.

My interpretation.

There is some opportunity that must be taken quickly or not at all. Good fortune for a limited time only. 

Do love the I Ching? Then don't forget, please share, comment and if you wish, contact to me to make your own free personal prediction. Tell your tale and help to verify that the I Ching really works.

THE WAY OF I CHING

 Dear friends, I ask you: why do people weaponize all technology for selfishness, greed, and war? Can they not see that following this path only leads us all to disaster? Each new technology is more dangerous than the last. We have evolved from throwing a flaming touch into the hut of a perceived enemy to hurling ever more horrifying weapons. Weapons that kill not just an enemy but millions of innocents

I say this is because they have lost contact with benign Providence and have not heeded her wise counsel and timely warnings.

In my humble state, I have devoted my long life to restoring the connection to providence by means of the I Ching.

The I Ching provides this much-needed connection if it can only be properly understood. To understand the I Ching, we must look to the original source from which its wisdom is derived. It is in the events that occur after a prediction is made that we may define what the true I Ching is. In this way, the common folk, who possess neither powerful intuition, long training, nor second sight, may readily access the wisdom of Mother Random, the Queen of Heaven, as this is the true name of providence. Providence has provided us with the I Ching, so we tell the path of peace and prosperity and shun that of evil and chaos.

The little stories I write for you here from my experience are but few. I write them so you can see what is needed. Without your help, this work cannot be completed. Many examples of the empirical effects of the predictions are needed. And so I entreat you to make a modest effort to assist me in this great work. All you need to do is contact me, and I will make a free prediction for you, provided you promise to tell me your story. This honorable work will surely make merit for your soul and bring you all the luck you deserve.

Hexagram 63 AFTER COMPLETION LINE 3. TIED IN THE WRONG PLACE


      




Hexagram 63 AFTER COMPLETION, LINE 3. TIED IN THE WRONG PLACE



 I like to go to the rice fields close to my place for exercise in the morning, as it is natural and has a panoramic view of the rising sun. I took my motorcycle on the dirt track to get there. Getting there was no problem, but it refused to start on the way back. Pushing the bike on the dirt track was going to be very difficult, so I left it where it was and went to see if someone could help me.

Back home, I met my friend, who said he had a tow rope and was willing to tow me. This sounded better than pushing, so I accepted his offer. I had never been towed this way before, though, and I was not sure where to tie the rope. We attached the rope to the handle bars and started back. It was very difficult to keep the bike straight, but I managed. Corners were the most difficult part, and I was very glad to pass the last one and see the mechanic’s shop ahead of me.
Suddenly, my friend lost control ever so slightly, and his bike pulled to the side. I was thrown off instantly. I hit a low wall with my ribs and thought I was injured, but when I stood and walked around, I was okay. The bike was a bit of a mess, but nothing serious. The mechanic soon got it started. I realize now that I should have tied the rope to the chassis, not the steering, as this accident would most likely not have occurred had I done so.
Wilhelm/Baynes: After Completion. Success in small matters. Perseverance furthers. At the beginning good fortune, at the end disorder.


"Bringing to completion" would be a better title for this tale. A relatively small matter here. It was good fortune to find my friend, but not a good ending.

Line 3. Wilhelm/Baynes: The Illustrious Ancestor disciplines the devil's country. After three years, he conquers it. Inferior people must not be employed.
This is the most powerful line in the hexagram.

At the time of the prediction, I thought it meant, "One should take control of a difficult situation. Act bravely with confidence and beware of danger ("inferior people")."


Looking back, I acted promptly and bravely but failed to see the key weakness. This was where I placed the tow rope. It was stupid to attach it to the steering, and if I had stopped to think, I also could have looked it up on the web, as there is bound to be something about this on YouTube.
In the future, I will combine courage with prudence and check the key details more carefully. Had I done this, then the tow would have been successful.

HEX 12. STAND STILL, LINE 4 - WHAT HAPPENED TO MY INTERNET?


If you love I Ching, please, follow, share and leave a comment. Lady Luck (Mother Random) will smile upon you!

Hexagram 12 line 4 What happened to my internet?

I had been using a rather expensive web service for work. They always collected in cash, and a girl would call each month to arrange a pickup. One month there was no call, then two months went by. I wondered what to do, then she called, but only to tell me the company had gone bust and ask if I wanted to buy the service of the new company she was working for. I assumed it would be turned off quite soon and forgot about the matter. I was mistaken, and it stayed open for another six months before finally getting closed down. I never received any inquiry whatsoever. Providence was generous to me.


Hex 12. Wilhelm/Baynes: Standstill . Evil people do not further the perseverance of the superior man. The great departs; the small approaches.


Contexts: 1. If you receive this hexagram and all is well, it remains so for some considerable time. The same is true if there is a problem - you will be stuck with it longer than you might wish. 


This hexagram represents very stable conditions indeed. Nothing will change for quite some time. Whether this is favorable depends; if you are in a comfortable situation, it is favorable; if not, then waiting for things to change may quite test your patience. The part about "evil people" seems to be mistaken, though.


Line 4. Wilhelm/Baynes: He who acts at the command of the highest remains without blame. Those of like mind partake of the blessing.


If you are a person of good character, then to partake in a blessing is without blame. 


Note: I wrote this after the event. At the time of making the prediction, I was only sure that nothing would change in a hurry and there would be no harm done, as I know this line from before.

Hexagram 5. WAITING. line 5. CANNOT BE REPAIRED!

Hexagram 5 WAITING, line 5 MY IPAD PRO



Hex 5 Traditional text

Here I give an example of how similar-sounding lines in the same hexagram may have quite different meanings.

A while ago, I had an iPad Pro that went dead, and I thought it was the battery. I took it to the local Apple repairman, and he also thought this was the problem. A few days later, he told me it was not repairable and had to be trashed. No data could be recovered either.

Wilhelm/Baynes: Waiting. If you are sincere, you will have light and success. Perseverance brings good fortune. It helps one cross the great water.

The hexagram text is not relevant to the 5th line, as no amount of waiting will bring success.

Line 5: Wilhelm/Baynes: Waiting for meat and drink Perseverance brings good fortune.

It looks reasonably favorable, and one may expect to have to wait for a while before all is well. Since then, I have had more experience and find this line is always a dead end, at least for the particular avenue you are exploring.

Hexagram 5, line 2: Trouble with my Payoneer account

This was a while back when I was on the road. I was using Payoneer to get money into Cambodia from the UK. This is not always easy, as transfer companies do not like Cambodia. I had a payment that got stuck in processing for a week. I consulted the I Ching as I was worried that my account might have been suspended (as happened with PayPal). I asked, "Is my money safe in Payoneer?"

A month passed by, and numerous emails were received with only empty promises that it would get sorted. In the end, the payment was rejected and sent back to the customer. He resented it, and it went through without a problem.

Line 2. Wilhelm/Baynes: Waiting on the sand There is some gossip. The end brings good fortune.

Line 2 represents a delay and inconvenience, but no serious issue. Yet, it sounds less favorable than line 5. Learning these distinctions between I Ching lines is vital. If you wish to help in this great work, please contact me and make some predictions of your own so I can add them to my database.
