How can divination
Exceed imagination?


You may be contemplating a very bold move in your life. It might be
taking a chance on love. It might be deciding to move across the world
to begin a new career. It might be combining things that have never been
put together before to make a new invention. What you're contemplating
is so surprising to you that you wonder whether or not to do it.

Traditionally, people turned to divination. But how can any system of
divination really help you? Whether it is turtle shells, yarrow stalks,
crystal balls, psychics, or spirit possession, are the forces "out
there" really going to provide any true reassurance? Depending on
divination means giving up control over your life. It's also avoiding
responsibility--you are able to say it wasn't your fault if things don't
work out.

Imaginative action is very important in life. Without it, we are less
than human. For imagination to come into being, we need decisiveness and
control. Unless we have these two factors, we cannot manifest the
concentration to bring something new into being. We should not surrender
our right to decide the course of our lives to vague propitiations of
the unknown. We should explore every new possibility that appeals to us
and, with wise action, build the force of our characters.

**Ming-Dao and I differ when the subject of divination is shared. I
strongly feel that the I Ching is a way to reach the subconscious
uncertainty and allow us a new perspective on our quest. We do not have
to follow it. We cannot use its answers as scapegoat. But the lessons
shared in our own guidance through this book of wisdom can be learned in
all situations and assist in guidance of all actions. Unless we become
totally dependent on its "answers" or direction, the inner visions given
by the I Ching can always provide wisdom for the changing course in our
lives. What do YOU think? ( '?
