Luis Andrade Hello again, Luis. I agree with you that the word "Idiot" in a book title sounds stupid. :-) But, there are dozens of books in the "Complete Idiot's Guide". The publisher has sold many millions of copies. I live in California, which has a very large Hispanic population. When the Chevrolet Nova first came, the Hispanic community avoided it like the plague. Why? Because No-va means "doesn't go....". Who wants a car that doesn't go? All I'm saying is that just because any book has a dumb sounding title, doesn't mean that it has no meaningful content. For instance, one of the 21 lists that I moderate is called PerfectWeapon. It is devoted to the use of the common walking cane as a legal-to-carry weapon of personal self defense. I have reviewed about a dozen cane instructional video tapes on the cane. One of the best video tapes has the worst of all titles. It is called "Combat Cane for Cripples"!!! So, even though the title sucks, the content is good. The "Complete Idiot's Guide to I Ching" may or may not be a great book. I can't say, as I haven't read it yet. But, I will read it because it was written by a friend of mine. I'll try to post a review here and on my IChing_Yijing list in the future. Who knows? Maybe it will be one of the good ones.... - -- Ray Langley, "Have Luo Pan, Will Travel!" ===== To unsubscribe from Hexagram-8, send a message to majordomo@apocalypse.org from the address subscribed, containing just the word UNSUBSCRIBE. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 18:55:41 -0700 From: "SilasFlood" Subject: HEX8: stereoscopic scioptric box A stereoscopic scioptric box...in which light from two holes project an array of shadow lines and light....these angles moving about on the inside wall of the box ...inverted to the reflection and silhouette of movement occurring outside the box http://www.angelfire.com/nm/videntes/sciopticSyntax.gif perception....and therefore social agreement on reality are all inferences made from what is essentially arrangements of shadow and light interpreted by some root witness that has been here for us from the beginning And how much from that box could we possibly infer of those mysterious sources to all this movement outside the box?

Often a satisfactory one can be found, and in some cases there is an English word which covers all the meanings, but characters are closer to feelings or images, and every English word is too exact. What I personally do, is putting all the translations I can find side by side, and then I try to 'taste' what is the common feature. The Yu-tiger and precaution and the forester are close together. All are directed towards making things good and safe. The tiger is a sign of it, the precaution an action, the forester a means. When the Yu tiger is running around - or when all precautions have been taken - or when one has a good forester - then all will be OK. But the line says: listen nevertheless to the little signs which warn you, don't blindly rely on tigers or foresters, but use your own intuition as well. 'This' and 'snake' also have a common taste. The snake is invisible in the grass, until the moment you see it, point at it and call to everyone 'HERE - danger!' Swallow and quiet taste like a happy mood: ever heard a group of swallows chatter, or even one single swallow. And here in the West too, a swallow is a sign of luck. A snake, no swallows means the same as 'secret designs, disquieting', with one difference: I understand the saying better because it covers many more circumstances, it is less narrowly defined. I get the meanings from the Far East Chin-E dict., Mathews' C-E dict., Wenlin (which is de Francis), and the old characters from Karlgren (GSR) and Wang HongYuan. There are more books I use as references, like Kunst, Shaugnessy, Lynn, Rutt, sometimes Cleary. There are other good ones, but I don't know how much literary freedom they take. I use them as idea-makers, often they open other windows. And then there is Schuessler, who gives many examples and often a very good idea how a character was used in old texts. Because I think the Yi is very old. I know it has been written down around 800 BC, but that was the oldest version that survived. There must have been older ones. In every era people changed things, added stories of their own time and left out what was not commonly understood anymore. And also gave meanings to characters according to their own time. Of course there are probably errors too, but we don't know which ones, so I simply take all as it is and try to make sense of it. Many translators make 'emandations' which I don't like at all. I also know that sinologists don't like the pulling apart of characters, but when I read what they all say 'this part is ONLY the sound and has no meaning' I wonder what they call a language. A language IS sound, and some people can write it, but innumerable others have only the sound for meaning. So my opinion is that exactly this part, 'only the sound', is the most important part. And the part which defines the meaning is 'only' specifying. Is this translation of GiaFu Feng still available anywhere? What I have seen of it makes me certainly curious. Very good note in the Zen class. I think it applies to every single sentence in the Yi. At least for me. I never derive any fact from an answer, but always a kind of allegory which gives me ideas for what could be done in the situation at hand (when I cast a hex or line). >From Hilary: Also - not to put too fine a point on it - how can we be sure about these things? I know that begs a lot of questions, and I'm very happy indeed with multiple meanings and ambiguity, but at the same time I'd hate to find myself basing an interpretation on a mix-up/ mistake about character derivations. How to decide what to go with? I guess the only way is with a pile of dictionaries, or else with a pile of serious translations, comparing them. Knowing the background of a translation helps a lot. W-B is 'confucian', Kunst is looking for old origins. There was an excellent mail from Geoffrey (aglie, 10-21-00) about Rutt, and about backgrounds.

Hi Lise,
     There are very few copies of the Gia-Fu text we wrote together in 1974.
Hopefully one of them will get digitalized  and be available on the web. Last
year I was finally able to register the copyright to it. I am told that
Gia-Fu worked on his translation until his death in 1988 and some version of
his later work was published in New Zealand.

Let me clear something up. When you post a message to Hexagram-8, you will pretty much *always* receive a copy yourself of the message you posted. If you don't receive a copy yourself, it's almost always because the post didn't go through. Sometimes when a post doesn't go through, people try to post over and over again. What this results in is post after failed post bouncing to my personal mailbox. I get about ten to twelve failed posts in my mailbox every week. Needless to say, I don't have time to forward these posts to the people who bounced them and explain what's wrong. People sometimes write me and ask why their posts aren't appearing on Hexagram-8. They often put forth theories like "maybe I'm not 'really' subscribed." Again, the test is simple: if you're getting email from Hexagram-8, you're probably *really* subscribed. What it boils down to is this: if you want your posts to go through to Hexagram-8, only send email to the list from the email address you have subscribed. For example, I have multiple email accounts. I am writing from rwhe@apocalypse.org. This is the address I have subscribed to Hexagram-8. I have another email account, rwhe@ludism.org, that I have not subscribed. If I tried to send email to Hexagram-8 from this account, it would bounce, and no one would see it. It's all fairly straightforward. Tonight, for example, I got at least two bounced posts from someone with two accounts subscribed already, posting from a third account that is not subscribed. I have *hundreds* of bounced posts to Hexagram-8 going back *years*, posts that no one but me has ever seen. Maybe if people are interested, I'll make them available. Meanwhile, it's a confounded nuisance, and I wish people would understand the fact that you can only post from a subscribed account. The reason the list is set up this way is that the other way to set it up, which is to allow *any* email address to post, would allow spammers and other unscrupulous people to post and pollute the list. I get a fair number of bounced spam messages in my in box too. Not as many as I used to, though; maybe word is getting around that spamming Hexagram-8 just doesn't work. By the way, if you're interested in seeing what accounts you have subscribed, you can just send the command "who hexagram-8" alone in the body of an email message to majordomo@apocalypse.org. This will send you a list of all subscribers. There's one catch: you have to do it from a subscribed account. Well, if your command is rejected, at least you'll know *that* account isn't subscribed. In fact, just this once I will append a list of the current subscribers so everyone can see for themselves what accounts they have subscribed. I am first going to append a list of the Hexagram-8 list rules (few and easy to follow). People have been falling down on #4 lately (no HTML or other encoding; plain text only), so let's be careful out there, please. Happy holidays... Ron ***** HEXAGRAM-8 LIST RULES 1. No spamming. 2.

I get the meanings from the Far East Chin-E dict., Mathews' C-E dict., Wenlin (which is de Francis), and the old characters from Karlgren (GSR) and Wang HongYuan. There are more books I use as references, like Kunst, Shaugnessy, Lynn, Rutt, sometimes Cleary. >>LeSe's recent post was quite helpful to me. I wonder if LeSe or others can say more about how they use these dictionaries. Are most of the early Zhou (EZ) characters in Mathews? I find Schuessler's dictionary extremely irritating because he subscribes to the extreme form of the ideology that the real language is spoken rather than written. To me, langauge is both. He says his dictionary is a dictionary of words and not graphs and it is arranged alphabetically by pinyin. He omits characters for which meaning is known but sound is not. (One could ask how sure we can be about how EZ was pronounced.) To me this means that if we find a character we do not recognize, we must first look it up in a dictionary with a radical index, then get the pinyin (not given in older dictionaries), then find it in Schuessler. What use is a dictionary of a spoken language which has not been spoken for more than 2,000 years? There may be some Chinese immortals still alive from the Zhou but I am not one of them. If I were, I would not need a dictionary or the I Ching for that matter. I'm venting my frustration but also asking if others have found a way to make this dictionary useful. May all sentient beings be happy!

I checked, and the reason your messages bounced on those dates is that their subject line was "Help...". The list is set up so that Majordomo will bounce messages with the word "help" in the subject line, because a large percentage of those are requests for help with unsubscribing from the list, or similar administrivia. Majordomo will also bounce messages with "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" in the subject line or the first few lines of the message body. That is why you see little of that sort of nonsense on this list. You may be right about computers having moods, but in my experience, most of the time I suspect a computer is doing something because of a "mood", I find that the computer is actually behaving in an orderly, regular way when I take the time to learn more about it. And I suspect the remaining cases would fall into the first category if I had the time or the smarts.

One in particular, "The Voice of the Tao", mentioned Paul Kammerer book "Das Gesetz der Serie", translated in many places to English as "The Law of Seriality". Very intrigued about the fact that the book hasn't been translated to English (or Spanish, yup, I looked for it too), I did a few searches on the Internet about both, Paul Krammerer and this particular book. I was blown away by the fact that not much at all is said on the web about this work, which some call the foundation of C.G.Jung's Synchronicity Theory. Of course, the fact that the good doctor committed suicide after fighting allegations of fraud in some of his other investigations, didn't help much to make his work very popular... In any case, I found a very interesting link titled "Toward a Physical Basis for Astrology" by John Townley which mentions this work and the relation of its theory to Astrology. The link is below: http://www.fullmoon.nu/townley.htm I would be very interested in such a translation Ron. BTW, I had not visited your site for a couple of years. Very interesting projects you have in store. Cheers!

Both is Language, but there is a distinction, to me written language is different from spoken language. Our ancestors saw writing down sounds and reread them as pure magic. In China, I'm sure it was not different. Old taoist writings often had no sound at all but lot's of meaning. Developing both sounds and letters (read: signs) to notate it, varies in each language, every culture and time seemed to have obviously different approach to their reality. Things or realities having an open , broad meanings for example: "Door", use long sounds, equally writing was designed to adjust to that distinction by using a double vowel or in German formerly using an extra "h" to demonstrate space: "Thür"or "Thor". Another example in dutch and english is "tree" and "boom". Changing the orthography (greek for: notating according to truth) is a crime(!) to actual meaning, because it actually deprives one of means to write/speak and think of the associated realities. So if chinese authorities strive for simplifying the characters it's not for the reasons they claim for, it is for regulating/centralising public reality - the end of variation. This is obvious especially for students of the YiJing :-)All above is right for every language, but the more "images" it uses, the more serious it gets. Written language was developed for different needs, written german for example was "built" in the middle ages for finding ways to the unsayable for a great part. English being a quite technical language destroys a lot by infiltrating grown languages. (I hope nobody is offended) > > To me this means that if we find a character we do not recognize, we must > first look it up in a dictionary with a radical index, then get the pinyin > (not given in older dictionaries), then find it in Schuessler. I'm a relative newbie on learning chinese and I am greatly thankful for everything which is contributing by the list having to do with language. Here is something I just found lately: www.zhongwen.com zhongwen.com this is (more than) an online dictionary, able to find characters by strokes, pinyin, GB or Big5, or dictionary-number. there is an ethymology tree, and traditional- modern character converter. Plus you can hear the sounds and learn the order of strokes written by animated gifs. And hi Frank, besides going the way of language, I finally got your I ching Primer (it cost me some bucks I might say) and it find it extremely inspiring. Stars and Dice also arrived a couple of days ago, but until now it dissappoints a little because I was hoping finding more on "why" instead of "how".

I've been thinking more about the word/character separation implied by Schuessler and current teaching of Chinese in which characters are to be memorized rather than analyzed because they are phonetic. While Chinese is not a direct pointing at reality without words as Ezra Pound and 18th c western scholars sometimes thought, the characters are IMHO not really phonetic because you cannot determine the pronounciation just by looking at them. To be sure a guess can be made with but writen Chinese it is quite unlike English - or Tibetan or ancient Egyptian for that matter - in all these you can sound out a word without knowing its meaning just by looking at it. Uniquely in Chinese, one can know the meaning from the written language without knowing how to pronounce it. Anyone else tried Schuessler's dictionary? May all sentient beings be happy!

With Chinese you can only make a reasonable guess sometimes. And you can read it quite accurately without any idea of how it sounds. This is not the case in phonetic langauges, such as ancient Egyptian which uses pictures (in the hieroglyphic script) but which stand for sounds, not meanings. In Chinese, uniquely, the characters stand for both. Regarding Scottish, my experience traveling in the UK is that they no longer speak comprehensible English there. Fortunately they colonized the New World where we still know how to speak English. That the English have it backwards and think they are the ones who speak it correctly is a sign of how far they are from linguistic reality.

The Primer was my first work, and it has its own relationship with its readers. As to Stars and Dice, it was written some decades ago and at that time I did not know anything about the Why.

This arises from the relationship of a circle and its radius and the chords along the circumference of the same magnitude as the radius. The dice-face patterns describe in number or in dots at center or edge of a plane figure the same fundamental geometrical relationships established within a circle. From the fundamental axiom that all circles are similar, it follows that anything that can be abstracted as any sort of a cycle can be symbolically represented by either the dice-face patterns or the geometry of circles. Both astrology and the Yi describe symbolic systems of mapping cyclic events or cyclic interpretations of objective human experience. Therefore both can be described and understood in terms of the geometry and patterns of either the dice-face patterns (Pythagorean eidos) or hexagrams. This is the reason why geometry becomes so much more fundamental than any language text to understand the meaning of any hexagram or moving line of a hexagram. The traditional Chinese commentary notes that first came the set of hexagram patterns and then later the text and interpretations were attached to those hexagram patterns and lines. It has been assumed that the patterns themselves were impossible to understand or interpret except through the language text. My book the I Ching Primer arose from my realization that the hexagram line patterns did express the meanings of the hexagrams through the application of a few very simple principles. At the time I wrote the Primer, the insight was very new and I was only clear how those principles would explain the trigram meanings. I am still in the process of working out the complete explanation of the 64 hexagrams from the line pattern principles alone. Lately, my interest has been taken up with the more intriguing notion of why the hexagrams are put into the sequence from all yang lines for 1 to alternating yin and yang lines for 63 and 64. That seems to arise from philosophical principles, which I have recently connected to the more sophisticated Pythagorean concepts of the Monad, Dyad, Triad and Tetrad. It has been a major research exploration to recreate what the Pythagorean perspective and geometrical interpretation was all about.

The Primer was my first work, and it has its own relationship with its

   As to Stars and Dice, it was written some decades ago and at that time I
