Well there's another one of your beliefs that has no rational basis.Psalm 25 says 'the secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him'
In Hebrew, I believe, the word for secret is like pillow as they inclined together as they would eat
leaning perhaps on a pillow and in close intimate conversation might share 'secrets'
Well... what's in it for me?I am a super fan of I-Ching. So, there will be lots of it from now on; enough to bore you to death. But, if you can survive the boredom, the untold story will definitely spice up the way you look at life. Because that’s the “hidden agenda” of I-Ching – to spice up people’s lives.
I-Ching? They call it the “Book of Changes”, a Chinese classic aged over five thousand years old. It is said to be the best kept secret of life; because the whole book is filled with riddles; thereby subjecting itself to all kinds of interpretation.
My take on I-Ching is its 3-D energy model that tracks all the possible changes in one’s lifetime as a growing human universe.
According to I-Ching -- a perfect human universe comprises a stable base, a justified past, and an expanding future; or, a 3-D (three dimensional) existence that guarantees a happy and fulfilled life.
Unfortunately, life is never perfect in reality. For most of us, if there is indeed a human universe, it is either distorted or dysfunctional.
That’s where I-Ching comes in as a solutions provider.
In this context, I started coining names for I-Ching, one each for different interest groups.
For the spirited – Sixty-four ways to Heaven.
For the down and out – Quick fixes for Screw-ups in Life.
For the ambitious – A Guide on Growing a Large-than-life Life.
For the scientific-minded – A Construction Manual for a Human Universe.
I guess I have a lot of explanations to do for calling names.
Where do I begin?
Well there's another one of your beliefs that has no rational basis.
I believe in the Psalms. The Hebrew word for secret has nothing to do with any word for pillow.You don't believe in the Psalms?
Dear DavidFirth,
Congratulation for having found your faith in Psalms.
But, what puzzles me is, as a self-professed religious person, how come you can be so closed minded about other belief systems, and such a vicious cyber bully.
I-Ching says that closed-mindedness indicates the presence of an emotion thatch – a hardened layer of negatives, comprising extreme emotions, unresolved issues, half-truths, distorted thoughts, and trivialities – which traps and amasses highly toxic emotions, fueling ugly, vicious behaviors.
May I suggest that you dig deep into your belief system for help to unlock your Pandora’s Box; so that you can refresh and enrich yourself, and live up to your faith.
But the very existence of this God you base your beliefs on is in question, as is the prophesy you cite.I have said nothing about faith. I simply said that this stuff bores me to tears.
And, yes, the writings of the prophet David still ring true today. In them you can see that to search anywhere but God's holy prophecy is unwise.
