Some time ago I described my Brain as a ">landfill< the size of Oklahoma" . This morning I 'rooted around' and found nothing worthy of presentation . I mean, there's just SOOOOOO much SHIT . I have been assailed by Doubts and Misgivings that manifest as 'legit' Questions regarding "Planetarianism"* specifically Questions about the I Ching and the Value I have placed on it to be as a "Bible" for the Conduct of both the Individual and the Society and Culture of the Government "writ large" . I hear this : "If the I Ching is so fucking AWESOME [then] why isn't it a prominent Feature of our Education and the Social and Political Classes ?" When I hear this Question I also `hear` this REDNECK attack : "If you're so fucking smart [then] WHY AINT YOU RICH ?" Valid Questions, both .
There's that scene in "Good Will Hunting" where Minnie Driver asks Matt Damon about how EASY it is to solve the most DIFFICULT Equations WITHOUT ANY Effort . Damon uses Beethoven as an example . He says, "When Beethoven was a kid and he saw his first piano, IT JUST MADE SENSE TO HIM . He looks at Minnie and and rues, "It's the same for me ." Minnie just shakes her head . Now when I read the I Ching, ALL of "IT" made Sense to me, even the "ideograms' . The fact that the Chinese harnessed their Imagination in their their ideograms, as though ART was an ESSENTIAL COMPONENT in their Writing, appealed to me in the UTMOST "Sense" . Indeed, Chinese Calligraphy IS Art in one of Art's most Pure Forms . I LOVED "IT" .
I have digressed, Sorry .
