Interpretation

Alan Watts wrote somewhere about interpreting the future from the cracks in tortoise shells. He observed that the wise would in fact gain intuitions about what's coming next from looking at the tortoise shells... by understanding their own reactions to fixed, traditional interpretations.

When PKD created an author who wrote his novel from looking at the yarrow stalks, he seemed to be saying the same thing.

Yesterday the oracle's counsel was perseverance, following rather than leading, K'un / The Receptive. That's the hexagram Faust should've received.

Yesterday I thought I was coming down with a cold. Today I have a slight cold.
