The "subjective world" has an important characteristic: it presents itself in the way the interpreter understands (language pattern). For example, if you write an article solely for your own reading, it will be presented completely in the way you understand, being unrestrained and following your own inclinations. If someone else happens to come across the article you wrote for yourself and wants to fully understand it, they must share the same way of understanding with you. If their understanding is merely similar to yours, they can only achieve an approximate understanding. A foreigner with completely different language symbols from yours won't be able to understand you. However, if you write for others, you will involuntarily write in a way that others can understand. The more sincere you are, the more you will try to communicate with them in a way they can understand, unless you are arrogant.

The "projection of the spiritual world" is very similar to this. It automatically presents itself in the way the interpreter understands, except that we are completely unaware of this automatic process. However, evidence can be found both in literature records and in numerology practices. (The author will explain this phenomenon logically in the next section through the mutual induction between similar things or events and brainwaves, and its mechanism still awaits further verification through scientific experiments.) In his more than forty years of divination practice, Yehe Laoren, a master of Liuyao hexagrams in the Ming Dynasty, discovered a phenomenon: People who completely don't understand the principles of the mutual generation and restriction of the Five Elements can also divine good or bad fortune for themselves. As long as they obtain a hexagram, arrange the Six Relatives and the World and Response according to the hexagram diagram, and see which of the Six Relatives holds the World, they can simply and clearly judge good or bad fortune. If they understand a little bit about the principles of the Five Elements, the hexagram will start to become profound, and this method can no longer be used.

In addition, if a person who doesn't understand the principles of the Five Elements obtains a hexagram and is determined to ask someone else to interpret it, the hexagram will also become profound, and this method can't be used either. Yehe Laoren taught those who don't understand the Five Elements a quick way to divine good or bad fortune. Some people commented that it would be more concise to directly toss a coin and pre - designate which side is auspicious. I say this is wrong. Tossing a coin once can't record our thoughts. Just as a single weather satellite cloud image can't truly reflect weather changes, a set of cloud images is needed. The sixty - four hexagrams invented by our ancestors coincide with our sixty - four DNA codes, which is really a miracle. Each hexagram has six lines, generated in six steps, and with the addition of dynamic changes, tossing three coins six times can exactly simulate the changes in nature or human affairs. This is one of the methods to accurately record our thoughts. The word "god" is mentioned several times in the original text. Yehe Laoren believed that there was a god answering the questions of the diviner. This article believes that this "god" is nothing but our own concentrated thought - brainwaves. The hexagram image is a reflection of our thoughts. The degree of complexity (or simplicity) of the hexagram is in line with the degree to which you understand the world.

Coincidentally, Ji Xiaolan also recorded a similar situation in "Records of the Thatched Study of Close Observations". Ji Yun said, "When the person conducting the planchette - writing encounters someone who can write well, the writing will be skillful; when encountering someone who can write good poems, the poems will be excellent; when encountering someone who can neither write good poems nor write well, although a complete piece can be formed, it will be dull. …… It's said that ghosts are not inherently intelligent; they become intelligent depending on people. Milfoil and tortoise shells are originally withered grass and decayed shells, but they can tell good or bad fortune, also becoming effective depending on people." This passage clearly states that what the diviner is good at determines how the ghosts and gods respond. Like Yehe Laoren, Ji Yun also believed that it was ghosts and gods answering people's questions. This research believes that it's not ghosts and gods, but our thoughts - brainwaves. Our brainwaves interact with objective events, and this is the mechanism of numerology prediction. In fact, "The Book of Changes: Commentary on the Appended Phrases" has already stated the principle of "Like sounds resonate; like qi attracts." However, how do these two "interact"? We will discuss this question in detail in the next section. Divining good or bad fortune for oneself is like writing an article for one's own reading. A person who completely doesn't understand the principles of the mutual generation and restriction of the Five Elements divining for themselves is like a baby babbling before it can speak. Once an infant starts to learn to speak, it has to accept the grammar rules of its living environment. The environment will gradually correct and improve its language expression ability until it converges to the same standard. This language environment includes the basic symbols and rules passed down from generation to generation by predecessors (the general language environment), as well as the specific pronunciation characteristics and language habits of the small environment where the language - learner is. However, everyone has different language talents. A few people become language masters and leave wonderful works for posterity, while most people only learn basic daily communication.

Learning divination is the same. Once you start learning, the basic rules of the mutual generation, restriction, conflict, and combination of the Five Elements summarized by our ancestors will begin to influence your thinking in the way of "collective unconsciousness". At the same time, the teacher you follow has his own unique system. As a beginner, you must use the teacher's system for prediction to get accurate results. If you have enough talent and are diligent enough, when you have a deeper understanding of the logical operations of yin and yang and the Five Elements and a better understanding closer to the essence of the world, the hexagrams you see will become more profound. In the subjective world, the closer people's cognitive models are to the objective world (such as in mathematics and physics), the more accurate the calculations using these models will be. The same is true for the projection of the spiritual world. The cognitive models summarized by predecessors always deviate from the objective world to some extent. As you keep learning in - depth, various new situations will emerge, guiding you to keep summarizing and improving. In this way, we can understand the disputes among different sects of Da Liu Ren. In fact, none of them are completely right or completely wrong, because the hexagram images are the products of thoughts. Although one should adapt to different situations, your thoughts are precise.

It should be noted that although the subjective world presents itself in the way the interpreter understands, it doesn't mean that the interpreter can definitely interpret it accurately. Just as speaking in a way that the other person can understand doesn't mean the other person's understanding is necessarily accurate, this truth is obvious. The same goes for the projection of the spiritual world. Although it presents itself in the way the interpreter understands, it doesn't mean the interpreter can accurately interpret it. This requires the accumulation of knowledge and experience and is also closely related to the mental state during interpretation.
