I’ve been getting some really beautiful comment spam lately over at Monument City. I had fun researching Maryland’s Medal of Honor winners in WWI: reminded me of being thirteen years old and voraciously reading everything I could find on military history, tactics and weaponry. I’ve often pondered the list I’d be on if I were currently in the habit of withdrawing mountains of books on such things from the public library. Owls have been everywhere. People keep giving me advice about not being afraid to look into the darkness. I still own one book about ninjas. The I Ching has become freakishly accurate now that I’ve found a good data source to plug into the application. I’ve been listening intently to John Lennon’s Plastic Ono Band lately. He mentions something about not believing in I Ching. I never gave that record the credit it deserved. I’ve been using AB9RF’s question pool for Mnemosyne lately to study for all three grades of the amateur radio FCC exam. Starting to really get somewhere with it, and beginning to grasp basic electrical engineering concepts - at least as far as I can with little practical progress. I asked one of the actors today if he starts memorizing his script for the next show during the course of the current one. He said never, because he hooks the words into the actions and movements. I’ve been seeing recurring information patterns constellating in various individuals. Lots of talk around the fourth dimension, practicalities and logic of time travel. Things of that nature. Electrical circuits in my room have been acting strangely. Excellent weather today, like Seattle long spring-summer season. Just perfect. I missed a classic car show on my bike at the Streetcar Museum, a location down by the river which I simply adore. Without the fallsway, Baltimore simply wouldn’t be. Save our arterial waters. Revive our landscapes. All these people with no jobs and nothing to do. How do you think the WPA got started? We reached the halfway point in our production today. Continues to the end of April. Come out and see it if you’re in town.

See if you can find the forward to the Wilhelm/Baynes version of the I Ching. It was written by Jung, he was a friend of Wilhelm. In the forward Jung asks the I Ching what it think about this version.
That sounds pretty cool. Would love to time travel to hang out with Jung!
It’s a long, friendly, foreward. A short quote:
“I submitted two questions to the method of chance represented by the coin oracle, the second question being put after I had written my analysis of the answer to the first. The first question was directed, as it were, to the I Ching: what had it to say about my intention to write a foreward? The second question concerned my own action, or rather the situationin which I was the acting subject who had discussed the first hexagram. To the first question the I Ching replied by comparingitself to a caldron, a ritual vessel in need of renovation, a vessel that was finding only doubtful favor with the public. To the second question the reply was that I had fallen into difficulty, for the I Ching represented a deep and dangerous water hole in which one might be easily mired. However, the water hole proved to be an old well that needed only to be renovated in order to be put to useful purposes once more.”
After I had forgotten about this quote I had a dream about a reading. A Masai warrior led me out of a deep water filled pit and onto flat, dry land.
This link is not about the I Ching.
