[IChing] Queries about Poker
Everyday you have the opportunity to expand your outlook and re-look at situations from multiple perspectives / lenses.
The I Ching for me, is like taking into consideration the advice from an ancient wise man.
That being said, I just found that when I was having a 2 month “Poker Phase” in my life (where I went to poker every day/night) for fun and also to try and make some money. I didn’t do very well and gave up hoping that I could make a living out of it. Anyway, during that time, it looks like I consulted the I Ching a few times. The answers are interesting so I thought I’d share :)
I want to manifest $40,000 quickly to pay off HomeR, Linda and have financial security. How do I go about this and still keep my house without anyone dying. I’m thinking poker or lottery… I don’t know how to tap into abundance.
