| Ella Ching say: Take nap! |
I recently stumbled on some information about the I Ching. I've had the book forever and have started to read it more than once. It's not a very big book...but it didn't pull me in. I'd read the intro about how it was translated and fall asleep. Seemed like writing for another place and another time.
I never even got far enough to understand that it was intended to be a fortune telling handbook.
Somehow I came across an online I Ching hexagram prediction website. I'd heard of hexagrams, but didn't know that they were connected to the I Ching, or what they were for.
Finding it all online struck me as the most hilarious thing ever. I mean here's this 2 thousand year old text, and there are these hexagrams that you can refer to, based on throwing some broken and unbroken sticks...but now you can just find out your future by virtually throwing sticks.
When I write in my journal I refer to people (or cats) I talk about a lot by their first initial.
While reading through some of this I Ching stuff I started thinking of it as the E Ching (Ella Ching). My guess is that every time you throw the sticks and get your pattern...when you look up the hexagram it would suggest that sleeping is in your future.
Never a bad plan, I suppose.
