Hi and welcome.

It cannot be defined.

Most versions of I Ching have an intro on how to use the yarrow stalks. It is the case that you should split the pile more or less in half but not exactly. It doesn’t matter if this is inexact as long as you end up with two piles. You could I suppose do 80/20 but why would you? 90/20 def not

You can’t make an omelette without first instructing the chicken.

When I did Aikido we used a boken for that but it’s to relax not to beat nonsense out of people.

‘Beat it out’? Nice.

Hi Shirley what is SOTGF?

I once started a thread called emotion is the path. I think it’s very good that you are feeling these things. Generally the advice would be to continue whatever practice you were doing and allow these things to emerge without indulging in them or suppressing them. Watch and learn. If they are very strong or overwhelming you can probe the feeling and let the memories and associations unfold, without judgement , with interest, and to educate you.

I hate to contradict old Elkhart but what is a thing but the presence of God in that place????

I would have facepalmed that but I didn’t want upset you
