About 2 weeks ago it suddenly occurred to me that I could use ChatGPT to deepen and extend my consultations and interpretations of the I Ching. I’ve been using this method often and to great effect since then.
(And it only just hit me as I was writing this that this “suddenly occurred to me” about 7 days after I’d started running my custom, and is most likely yet another expression of my custom subliminal, which contains Revelation of Spirit, Revelation of Mind, and Polyglot. I wasn’t even recognizing that.)
Anyway, I consulted the I Ching about working with the Hero:Origins program.
This was my query:
Consulting the I Ching
Query: Subliminal Club has released a new program entitled HERO Origins: Sage and the Blade. Its focus is to inculcate and facilitate the development of mastery and impeccability, inspired in part by the ideals and the ways of bushido and the philosophy of Miyamoto Musashi, though it is not restricted to Japanese culture or arts.
Please show me the guidance and the result for me of choosing to work with this program.
I Ching response
觀, line 4
General Guidance:
觀：盥而不薦，有孚顒若。大觀在上，順而巽，中正以觀天下。觀，盥而不薦，有孚顒若，下觀而化也。觀天之神道，而四時不忒，聖人以神道設教，而天下服矣。
Specific Guidance:
六四：觀國之光，利用賓于王。
Please interpret and apply this I Ching guidance in the context of my query and my situation.
And here is the response:
The I Ching hexagram you’ve drawn is 觀 (Guān), often translated as “Contemplation” or “Observation,” with a specific focus on the fourth line.
Here’s my interpretation based on your query:
General Guidance (觀): The hexagram Contemplation suggests a time of introspection, observation, and learning. It encourages you to look within and around you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your environment. In the context of your intention to work with the new program HERO Origins: Sage and the Blade, this could signify the need to observe and study the principles and philosophies underlying the program. It might also suggest that the program will encourage a similar introspective and contemplative approach, helping you to deepen your understanding and mastery of the skills and ideals it embodies.
Specific Guidance (六四): The fourth line, translated as “Observing the light of the kingdom. It is beneficial to be a guest of the king,” indicates the advantages of learning from a higher power or authority. In terms of your situation, this could mean that the program HERO Origins: Sage and the Blade could serve as this “king” - a source of wisdom and guidance from which you can learn. It hints at the potential benefits of adopting such a program into your routine.
In summary, choosing to work with the program HERO Origins: Sage and the Blade could be a beneficial journey of introspection, learning, and growth for you. It’s an opportunity to understand and embody the principles and ideals of bushido and the philosophy of Miyamoto Musashi. Remember to approach this journey with an open mind and heart, observing and learning from the wisdom it offers. The I Ching suggests a positive outcome from this endeavor.
