Tarot or Dowsing anyone?

[Questioner]

I have the Electromagnetic signature that blows out lightbulbs, makes computers freeze up and stops watches (they never work again)

A tech support job is probably not for you.

But you could be a very valuable member of a technical team. You would come in after people think they have invented the perfect system, Then they give it to you to see it break in a totally unpredictable, incomprehensible new way.

I'm glad you are able to get on the forum and that it still works.

Sure, I-Ching is good to explore here. I can't remember who, but there was a talk once on how the pieces fit together to form geometry like the star tetrahedron. I think it might have been Nassim Haramein, but don't recall.

I'm not familiar with that talk.

The simplest way to look at I Ching divination: it always gives you from one to twelve little pictures about the situation. Each picture represents a story, situation, or energy pattern involved in the situation.

There is the original hexagram. If nothing changes then that is all you get. Then there could be anywhere from one to six changing lines. Finally there is the new hexagram created after the lines have changed.

If you look at the top and bottom trigrams of the source and destination hexagrams, and both upper and lower trigrams change, then you could wind up with as many as a dozen picturesque metaphors in all about your situation.

As I see it, if there are no changing lines, the oracle is saying "This is the most fundamental spiritual fact of the matter, unless someone has a true change of heart."

The problem I find is that some interpretations are heavily Confucian, full of the blame/shame game of hierarchical duties. To counterbalance that I try to find a more modern, fluid, Taoist type of interpretation. I also like the feature in the wengu site (linked below) where you can click on any of the original ideagrams. It goes to a Chinese to English dictionary that lets you trace through the art and symbolism of the pictorial language.

Some favorite sites:

http://facade.com/iching/ for the original reading - yarrow seems to work best for me. But their explanations are not much help.

http://wengu.tartarie.com/wg/wengu.php?l=Yijing
This one has the Confucian interpretations. About half the time I ignore their dogma and explore the links on the particular Chinese symbols.

http://www.yijing.nl/i_ching/
This is a more freewheeling modern interpretation.

For a reading, I come up with a question. Put in the question and get the reading. Look up the source trigram in the Wengu and Yijing sites. Meditate on the picture given for the source trigram, and for any changing lines. Then look up the destination trigram. Let each of the images speak to me. Invite them to fit together into a miniature mental movie that shows how things are changing.

Where it really gets interesting is when you combine this and Tarot. Example: Get two of pentacles on tarot. Ask the Yi (I Ching), "What does the Lord of Change want me to understand about how the situation is changing?" Get 48.4. (Hexagram 48 source with line 4 changing.)

48 is The Well and 48.4 says that a renovation project relines the well shaft so that clean water can come to the surface. This may make the well temporarily unavailable, but there is no blame in that. It is necessary work so that everyone can have more healthy water to drink soon. From the four pictograms I find, literally: "Well brickwork absence blame."

Ask the Tarot, "Lord of Change, what does it mean to line the well now?" If I do not understand what the well is, I would start there and then go on to the lining.
