[quote=GRIZ326,38774]Once I got past some of the unusual descriptions like "traveling across the great waters" or comments about "fatted pigs and good fortune" ... the philosophy of the book appeared to be clear and straightforward: a person has many decisions to make in their life and with each decision they define themselves as a superior or inferior person based on the quality of their decision. I believe those colorful descriptions become most relevant when using the divining methods used with the book. To a reader of the book, those descriptions seem to refer to the trials and tribulations of life and they are interesting in the context of Chinese life at that time. However, if you cast a hexagram in a time of personal strife fortelling of a period of great tribulation followed by great good fortune so long as you took the path of the superior person, the fortune would be quite comforting in your troubled times.[/quote]
