Do you have to ask it a specific question or can you just ask it to shed light on a general situation? Never mind, I'm sure the book will explain. What can synchronicity tell me about why strangers keep asking me for money? Never mind.

Then I found the RL Wing workbook, and yesterday when I was moving books and pulled it off the shelf, it almost fell apart from having been used so much. My favorite translation these days is The Laws of Change: I Ching and the Philosophy of Life by Jack M. Balkin. I worked with the Carol K. Anthony books for awhile and particularly like The Philosophy of the I Ching. When I first started throwing coins, there were certain hexagrams that came up more often than others, and over the last 35 years, there is only one I have never thrown. The I Ching gave me my first glimpse of synchronicity as a life force. I've never looked back. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Pain is only pain unless you resist it when it becomes torment.<br />Of course I thought I had all the answers and wrote it in big letters on a piece of paper which went above the bed where I was going to give birth, painlessly and serene and all that. I do remember both doctor and midwife looked at it from time to time but I was far too busy and mad to think about it.<br /><br />I still have that piece of paper and I read it from time to time and now it helps.Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-52419413527495171472014-06-23T22:03:16.779-07:002014-06-23T22:03:16.779-07:00I've never thrown the I Ching.

I had a question about whether or not to buy some property in another county when I was married to my first husband. <br />It told me that if I did, I would be isolated and would miss the community I had. <br />I listened. I did not buy the property. <br />I am so glad because I needed my community so badly when the marriage dissolved.Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.com
