  • I got the I- Ching on my Google home page, and I asked it, "What am
    I supposed to do with my life now? Please be specific"

    Here is the answer I got: it's like the spirit world from the amnesty
    event answered -- everything is about grace.  OK, at 3 am, everything
    seems more spiritual. But I think it is a cool answer.  Here is the web
    address where you can get the IChing thing and ask it questions. It's
    fun!

    Pi / Grace

    The Judgement

    Grace has success.
    In small matters
    It is favorable to undertake something.

    The Image

    Fire at the foot of the mountain:
    The image of Grace.
    Thus does the superior man proceed
    When clearing up current affairs.
    But he dare not decide controversial issues in this way.

    The Lines

    Nine at the beginning means:
    He lends grace to his toes, leaves the carriage, and walks.

    52. Kên / Keeping Still, Mountain

    The Judgement

    Keeping Still. Keeping his back still
    So that he no longer feels his body.
    He goes into the courtyard
    And does not see his people.
    No blame.

    The Image

    Mountains standing close together:
    The image of Keeping Still.
    Thus the superior man
    Does not permit his thoughts
    To go beyond his situation.
