Your thoguhts about a YES/NO oracle (like tossing a cion) ?

[waterdrop]

What are peoples thoughts on a yes/no oracle ?       

asking maybe also about i-ching  direct answers of yes no  (not ones with interpretation - not like "stopping to train will cause your health go bad , continuation brings good fortune "  but  "should i keep training?"   reply "yes") 

and asking about other types of oracles  that maybe can give more direct answers the the yijing ?        

should i go to this event ?  flip a coin ...  should i take drugs and kill some people ? flip a coin  ....   should i buy this product ?  flip a coin ...  if i order this product will it be broken ? flip a coin .........  what is the problem with that ? why it doesnt work ?                         (or maybe if 1 coin is some satistical issue  than maybe flip more coins ... maybe 3 o4  or even a 100)

no

Usefully flipping a coin probably needs:

 

- a competent sponsor willing to assist the tosser

- the tosser making contact with the sponsor at the time of tossing

- the sponsor considering a response worthwhile at that time

 

If the tosser is looking to gain personal advantage, it may be better to seek a dark sponsor that does not extract too great a price for cooperation

@Lairg   who is the "sponsor"  while doing an yijing normal reading ?

I used to use the I Ching many years ago with a lot of success.

 

Recently I used it again to find a proper place to live - very pleased.

 

Since then I have taken interest in the intelligence behind the I Ching.   I see two intelligences - a male and a female.  Perhaps they are the yin and yang of a single intelligence.  They seem happy for me to use a pendulum for yes-no-maybe answers

 

They are higher devas with strong rhythmic qualities - connected to the life force of this planet.  They have responsibilities across both physical and non-physical species.

 

The oracle work is a small educational component of their functions

 

Their energy is around the planet but with various focal points over north west China for the relevant life forms.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but my attention just got drawn to the Yijing section...

 

Anyone remember this? Seems germane to the OP somehow...

I've used a pendulum for dowsing on many occasions. You can use it for the same thing, if you really wish. For yes or no questions, go with your heart. My pendulum is something I meditate over and keep close to me... It's a personal tool. I first used it when I was in High School eons ago; I was flunking my classes and the school would not let me graduate if I did not find or pay for my $300 science text book (I was a bad student LOL). I had been given a pendulum but never used it, and I figured it was the time. I "calibrated" it, and it managed to find my missing textbook way too quickly than I'd like to admit! Now, I try not to loose things that don't belong to me. But I also trust my pendulum if I do need quick help finding something or answering a question.

I definitely agree with this. There is so much speculation over how these things work, but it would be silly to disregard all of it as much of modern science does. The Earth has it's own magnetic fields as does the universe. Every year birds migrate always knowing the correct way. The Tao is about...
