I’m no I CHing expert, but I rmember being told that the advice for the Superior Man is what’s crucial. I personally suspect that forwarding a superstitious and self-contradictory chain email doesn’t brighten anyone’s bright virtue.

Thought I see what a real Chinese oracle says and asked the I Ching, “Should anyone email the Chinese proverb chain message?”

I got Hexagram 35 (no lines): Progress.

The Ching understood the question: the hexagram is about “rapid, easy progress.” What could be easier than forwarding an email?

But the answer, to me, is inscrutable.

Here are links to two interpretations:

Hi I recieved one of these letters today. I have to object to the last cautionary slides in this mail where if the letter isnt forwarded to 20 people, calamity will ensue. I really object to the scare tacticts and the idea that I would send that to someone I considered to be a friend is unlikey. I have no problem sending luck to a friend but in view of the pending doom they would experience if they did not comply and send the letter on to another erm victim! I’ll take my chances anyday with luck. I have no intentions in sending what could only be described as an intimidating,perniciously devised, antichristian work of evil. Luck? what is a christian missionary talkin about luck? thought they were beyond luck and money and hedonism. How about Fatih Hope and love? It is clear that those people who have indeed sent this chain mail to a friend have succummed to the fear of the final slides. I will pray for you and the sadly misguided Anthony De Croud.

I can not believe that these e-mails still keep going from one address to the other.
besides this Antony claims that in the proverb you should not ask for money because it doues not bring this and that, and at the end he says “send this to 20 peoples and you will be rich.” this makes no sense. Money doesn’t make you happy but if u send this you will be rich????????

this proverb does not match with the scope of Anthony, to make himself popular. and i suppose there is no luck in it.

What a load of rubbish – you think that in all the time this tripe has been circulating you can only find 4 examples of a result? Come on. Surely if it was
real there would be thousands of messages everywhere exclaiming good fortune.
If you really think this is in any way legitimate you are a bonafide idiot.
In 1953 there no country’s lottery was worth $99million – wake up.

Jesper :Imagine an email sent in 1953, 1960 and other years predating the internet…

@Jesper LOL it was forwarded around the world in bottles via seas and oceans!
