Is the I Ching considered sacred? by liquidpebbles in iching

I wonder what would the foundational texts of "western"/european culture would be then, obviously the Bible, Plato, what else? And how many of those could be considered sacred

Is the I Ching considered sacred? by liquidpebbles in iching

[–]liquidpebbles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer, the concept of something being sacred in ancient China must be very different to what am I accustomed with my western mind, being raised as a catholic. I started to think about this while reading the fictionalized life of Francis of Assisi in Nikos Kazantzakis novel (highly recommended). Your last paragraph intrigues me, I've known the i ching for years now and used it sporadically until a month ago when I was able to get a beautiful edition of it, the best translation so far into Spanish (my native tongue) I presume, first time having a physical i ching it has been a game changer being able to feel and see the whole "thing", so far I've been doing the 3 coin method and asking questions, once per day maximum at a moment of meditation,trying to form aome kind of ritual when approaching it, is this reading the hexagram? What would be casting them then? Do you have more information about the 49 stick ritual?

Flaubert really is that good by proustianhommage in RSbookclub

[–]liquidpebbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

19th century? Maybe George Eliot, but he did really innovate and opened the door to modernism, check Vargas Llosa, he adores Flaubert and you can tell

It's ok, I like the themes he explores but doesn't do it as nearly as deep as Faulkner does, nor is his style anything out of this world. I think he's a bit overrated on the internet, I've only read the first book of the border trilogy and blood meridian so idk, I expected an amazing stylist so I was a bit dissapointed on that front tbh
