   I am really intrigued by this statement on your history page.

   “Why are you interested in that sexist book that talks about the superior man all the time?” I Ching developed as the Chinese language developed over three thousands years ago so that question was not something I could respond to in a sound bite.

   I understand that the question may also be too much for a single blog post but I bet it would be a really intriguing series!

   Bean,

   I didn’t mean to take so long to get back to responding to your suggestion here. The subject of the sexism in the I Ching has to do, of course, with how old I Ching is, and the interpreters/translators being male. I agree with you that it could be an interesting series of discussions but I have my hands and mind full on what I’m doing with my work on this subject. I gladly invite the scholars of Chinese history and I Ching to comment.

   Once, years ago, I was asked to give a talk with my images, at UC Berkeley on my I Ching Meditations. The males in the group, who were obviously very interested in I Ching, did not approve of what I was doing. And the females loved it.

   Hi Adele

   I love your images – they are incredible. In response (twice) to I Chings questions on my anxiety (I rarely ask the question twice, but each time I was so wrapped up in my fears I couldn’t resist getting some reassurance from the I Ching) and the answers were on the 1st time, Hexagram 2 with lines 2,3 and 5 and then 3 days later the same hexagram with moving lines 3,5 and 6. I am quite new to the I Ching and came across your website as I wanted more insight into these lines. Do you have any further thoughts on them? With many thanks, Victoria

   Thanks Victoria,

   I responded to your question in your previous post on Hexagram 2. I hope this was helpful. Check out Hexagram 2 responses. And thank you for your kind remarks on the images.
