How can we use I-Ching to divine politics?

Answer in Quora

Originally the I Ching was written as a book about divination in general, later versions were written oriented towards the social and military. 

Obviously, language and visions of the I Ching are located in the circumstances of thousands of years ago; so, what is really important is to learn the energetic meanings of bigrams and trigrams, because that's where everything else comes from.
If we understand well their different meanings and combinations, we will not need to resort to any further interpretation: we will see directly in action those energies in everyday circumstances.

The hot iron of Uranus

People migrate illegally to the USA because their countries are disgusting and that is the fault of the corrupt who steal the money. If countries were well managed, people would stay in their country.

Trump against the world

Originally posted on Facebook.

It makes me feel strange to post Trump on my profile, but I'm trying to decipher this case so singular from many points of view, especially the astrological.
His extreme astrological uranianity, which certainly was not reflected in a spiritual search - far from it - has perhaps been reflected in his stark vision of reality and the enormous capacity to communicate it directly to the masses, both being also Uranian qualities.
He has been a showman throughout his life and still is.

What he says is a very simple truth, something that we speak loosely in meetings and forums: we all know that our countries (I mean Latin Americans, Africans, Muslims, etc.) are corrupt and year after year they appear in the highest of the corruption index of http://www.transparency.org/

But if we speak to the people of those countries, while they may accept that "we have corruption", they will never accept that this is the primary cause of their chaos; on the contrary, the culprits will always be the developed countries "because they steal all our resources", "because they want to sink us", etc etc etc.

That is, they happily put the label "thief and oppressor country" to Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Canada, New Zealand, Finland, Holland, Australia, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, Israel (and the list continues, obviously ending in UK and USA. Of course)

While we do not want to accept that the ultimate responsibility of the state of the countries in disgrace are their own inhabitants, what Trump does is tell us that on our face. His predecessors were more diplomatic, more politically correct, and did not dare to tell us this harsh truth; rather, they took us for fools: "you have problems to solve, like everyone else", "the problem is not Islam", "all poor / immigrants / refugees are good people", "the state must grow at the expense of private companies", etc.

And the people of the USA got tired. It's that simple.

It remains to be seen if we too are going to get tired of our corruption someday and if we will look at the mirror at once.
And perhaps Uranus does not manifest itself more than this way in this man, that is, putting ourselves in contact with the hot iron and urging us to do something about it.
And just this one has to fulfill that role, this one that is neither an example of honesty, nor education, nor profundity, nothing.

Ah, I almost forgot to say that Uranus is also very ironic.

The interference of genetics factors on objectivity

From a conversation:

The vast majority of discussions are actually to define who has the best genes; the subject itself does not matter. This is particularly visible in political discussions. There is no real interest in seeing things as they are, but imposing what suits you best - that is, the survival of one's own genes at the expense of the other. 

Then, when it comes to discussing the political issue at a table, that primary impulse mixes with "I see things better than you" - and therefore, my genes are better. The discussion becomes a verbal box match. 

Conversation outside the realm of the genetic need to survive and compete looks different, more like scientific discussions, abstracts, and so on.But the genetic question even interferes in the scientific field, when there are bloody discussions on subjects for which there is no definitive proof. 

Genetic competition is very primary, atavistic and clever to disguise itself as genuine non-egocentric interest.

Trump's Lesson: What's Still to Learn About Uranian Genius

Right now, Donald Trump is heading directly to be the next US president.
The third great surprise after the Brexit and the Colombian "NO".
But for some astrologer some interesting questions arise.

Donald Trump's letter could deceive the most acute astrologer: such configurations are reminiscent of many personalities of a very different spiritual type.
In comparison, Hillary's is a very ordinary natal chart, with few traits of uranianity:

However, it is abundantly clear that the quality of goodness is more on Hillary's side than Trump's.

Can you be a genius without being benignant?

The Uranian type of genius is associated with expanded perception, and it is very difficult to associate this kind of intelligent goodness with the personality type of Trump, but it must be acknowledged that where Trump has shown Uranian genius has been in brutal sincerity, the ability to communicate directly facts that were treated carefully, diplomatically, even hypocritically. And may be that people are already tired of a virtual reality that is not reflected in the facts.

Brexit, Colombia's "NO" and Trump's triumph are all interrelated: they would not have been necessary if the more centrist democratic forces had looked at the facts as they really are, without disguising them in good will, with pious lies, with children sentimentality.

Uranus, behind a character as questionable as Trump, is bringing a new sincerity to the world.

It will be hard, but apparently, it is necessary.

If so, Uranus is giving us a great lesson about the absolute necessity of not departing from facts even a millimeter. Trump did it roughly, roughly, and it has triumphed, but only because the most kind, Uranian people in the other sense, have chosen to lock themselves in their little castles built with well-meaning dreams full of echoes of pretty words instead of looking at the monsters in the eyes.

CONVERSATIONS SUBSEQUENT TO THE PUBLICATION OF THE NOTE 
In other social networks


ABOUT THE GLOBAL POLARIZATION
Marcela: 
With this result I wonder what made the half vote for Trump, what part of HC people does not like, I was in California a few months ago and many people who voted for Obama now voted for DT. It seemed aberrant and thought what is this? What has changed now? What is there that we do not know about? What makes this result half and half? We live in Argentina where the same thing happened, a country divided ideologically. I wonder if the world is not becoming polarized. 

Marcial: 
Marcela, it is becoming polarized, and a lot.  
In Europe the process is even more visible. 
Social networks are an essential part of this process: for example, during the campaign of Trump the brexiters were on their side while the european socialists militated alongside Hillary (even the ex-candidate of the PSOE traveled to USA to support her ... the poor guy must be ...) 

I think what is happening is that the two great minds that lead the world, the chaotic mind and the ordered mind, are increasingly being strengthened through social networks. But they are strengthened in an unexpected way: instead of an increasing knowledge of the other mind allowing a rapprochement, what is occurring is a full-blown confrontation. 

People with a predominance of chaos pile up in the nets and shoot at people with a predominance of order, who in turn do the same. 
And this matter of minds is not easy ... of course there are economic issues, etc., but for me the essential thing is the fact that the human being is moving through the polarization between the instinctive-oriented thinking, on the one hand (the "orderly" mind) and emotion-oriented thinking on the other (the "chaotic" mind) 

Meanwhile, on a massive level, the great mind that could solve all things, the sensitive-perceptive mind, sleeps the angel's dream.I hope so many weird terms are not confusing for you ;)

ARE BOORS NECESSARY?

Patricia:
I still do not understand how a xenophobic, sexist and fascist could have control of the atomic bomb, incredible.

Marcial:
Well, it's long to talk, but it's not that difficult to understand.
In short, it would look like this:

1.  there are some hard facts about the world situation that educated-democratic-humanist leaders do not want to see, or do not even want to name.
2. As this is prolonged over time, people feel unrepresented by the picture that is painted by politically correct leaders until finally ....
3. comes a jerk and says: "the king is naked!"

 And voila! In truth, it is not so difficult.
The hard thing is to look at those hard facts directly in the face, and that is something that an important percentage of the population resists to do.
The thugs are not really necessary. What is necessary is that educated-well-intentioned-resistant-to-looking-at-the-harsh-reality people end up seeing that harsh reality as it is.
 

Original spanish version

I hug you but I want you away

Listening to the Spanish anthem whistling at the final of the Copa del Rey ... ok, historical reasons that led to that are understandable, but there is something very strange that often go unnoticed.

Catalonian and Basque nationalists get along very well, hug each other, sing together, are twinned in the desire to separate from Spain, but they seem not to realize that, in seeking independence, not only want independence from Spain but also from each other.

That is, now the Basque Country and Catalonia are one country and speak a common language ... if they become independent of Spain, Euskadi also will become independent of Catalunya and vice versa. This implies that in the latter, there is also a rejection of the "comrade independentist"

Then indeed there is a friendly spirit of "I want to see you farther and farther away."

This is also problematic, because suppose that after the mutual independence both Basque and Catalan forget the Spanish language .... mmm ... will be good to see with what language they will communicate with each other as in practice they are currently promoting a monolinguistic education in their regions. As a result, today many more schoolchildren and young people are seen talking in Catalan and Basque than 10 years ago, although this increase is being discussed.

If they become monolingual (this is one of the possibilities if nationalist movements succeed), future generations of young Basques and Catalans will be at the same distance from one another than both are now from a young German, because of their mutually unintelligible languages.

So they are friends hugging each other in an intimate desire to be away from each other .... this is very strange.

Economic corruption is just a reflection of something deeper

If I could vote today in Spain, I would vote PACMA. 

It is more important for this country, morally speaking, to stop hanging 30,000 greyhounds every year, to stop organizing "traditional fiestas" where teens kill calves in front of children and drunken parents, to stop spearing bulls, to stop throwing goats from bell towers, to stop tormenting donkeys... and the long list of cruelty to animals for which Spain is sadly notorious. It is more important that than ending economic corruption - even considering that the issue of corruption is really screwed here.

I think you can hit deeper in the Spanish group mind ending the mistreatment of animals than jailing 400 corrupts that sooner or later will receive what they deserve, anyway. 

Logically, if both things happen, well ... how wonderful! But if I were forced to choose, I'd rather start with the deep healing of the spirit, because the economic corruption is only a superficial manifestation of a deeper corruption: the corruption of the relationship with nature.

And that healing begins exactly like this: preventing cruelty, extending compassion.

Dark talismans

A friend of mine posted stuff of a museum of nazism in Israel. I replied something I thought about for a long time, and I include all those war memorials that are out there.

---

This is an issue on which I have mixed feelings. On the one hand the exhibition of objects like these, or the concentration camps, etc, does to make contact with the reality of what happened to people who tend to believe that nazism was a distant or science fiction story.
So far, positive.

On the other hand these things have bad vibes of such a magnitude, they are talismans of evil of such a degree, that I wonder if it is at all appropriate to leave them there in the sight contaminating with bad energies to all those who pass by.

Maybe they should be buried km deep, and when it is needed that an idiot Holocaust denier  (for example) was faced out with the harshness of what happened, then send him to the bottom of hell - literally - to see it with his own eyes, but keeping free the surface of the Earth for life, pure, simple and clean of this blackness.

Dialog in the Eric Allen Bell Facebook:

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=427595037318490&set=a.173793342698662.41960.173682399376423&type=1&theater

My answer to this question is:

"Intelligence" is considered by IQ tests as the ability to solving concrete problems. But there is another definition of intelligence, that is "expansion of perception." This is due to the coexistence of two minds: the thinking mind and the perceptive mind. So, a mad scientist could overcome these tests easily while living a crazy life, while the Buddha could fail on them although having the deepest wisdom of the world. So these tests are revealing that, on the one hand, we are not different from other animals and suffer the same pressures and evolutionary responses, but on the other hand, we also have to consider the existence of the other - non measurable - intelligence.

It is important to consider the following:
technological-concrete -practical intelligence becomes destructive if the other intelligence (the sensitive intelligence, perceptive) is not present .
That's the intelligence that Gautama Buddha and Jiddu Krishnamurti talked about

And that is exactly what is currently happening in the world.

Sensitive intelligence does not seem be hereditary and if it is, then heredity plays a minor role in it. A map of sensitive intelligence could be completely different from IQ maps, because among its qualities is the relationship a person has with nature. For example, India would have a "sensible quotient" very, very high compared to other countries.
And there would be many more surprises like this.
