    There's so first things first when you have an earth deficiency what I say to people is act from your sufficiency. Find a way to act from your sufficiency, In other words, by all means make contact with your resources and regard your resources as real. Okay, so that's the spleen connection I think you're talking about. I would refer to it as Earth I and I might refer to it as Taiyin, but nevertheless, and when I talk about Earth when I talk about spleen I never neglect the stomach, because spleen and stomach are one unity just like Adam-Eve is one unity. So that's one thing. So you get the stomach's appetite and the spleen's receptivity.

    But what I'm suggesting is there's a way to do divination that isn't an experimenting doubt. It isn't the exercise of a doubt. It's... if we divine from within our own sufficiency, then we are at play in the fields of the Lord, as in we are just observing what are the what is the play of energetic phenomena that's occurring around me, and how can I perceive it more, act more directly? And if we approach divination from that perspective, and not from "I need an answer that I don't have," that's a much that's a more powerful that's a very powerful way.
