I did business as an artist for over 30 years ... and I never did a
show or signed a contract without consulting the I Ching. The advice
of the I Chings was ALWAYS absolutely accurate, but to be honest, I
often paid no attention.

Word to the wise..... PAY ATTENTION TO THE DRAGON!!!!! The dragon
will not sh*t you!.

Ask your portable dragon (I Ching) whether or not a show or contract
will be wonderful or will suck in ways never previously known to
mankind. I like "The I Ching, An Ilustrated Guide to the Chinese Art
of Divination" by Koh Kok Kiang, published by Asiapac ... or if you
want to go deeper: "The Complete I Ching" by Alfred Huang, Inner
Traditions. The Dragon has NEVER let me down on telling me auspices
on a show, but sometimes I didn't $^%)ing listen. Big mistake.

How does the I Ching work?

If you believe that there was a defineable origin to the universe, and
that everything proceeding from this is a function of this original
event ..... then a random sampling of the universe can be interpreted
as a description of any particular occasion. So ... you ask the
universe what the auspieces are of a specific event, cast the coins,
and you get an interpretable description of the occasion.

Or it could all be balderdash.

When I worked shows on logical, well-researched information .... I
failed miserably. When I asked the I Ching the auspices of a specific
event, I always got results I could take to the bank.
