Yesterday's entry contained the following unattributed quotation:
"One must join forces with friends of like mind."
As the link to Leap Day indicated, the source of the quotation is the I Ching.
Yesterday's entry also quoted the late Terence McKenna, a confused writer on psychosis and the I Ching. Lest the reader conclude that I consider McKenna or similar authors (for instance, Timothy Leary in Cuernavaca) as "friends of like mind," I would point rather to more sober students of the I Ching (cf. my June 2002 notes on philosophy, religion, and science) and to the late Scottish theologian John Macquarrie:
Macquarrie's connection in this journal to the I Ching is, like that book itself, purely coincidental. For details, click on the figure below.

"A colour is eternal. It haunts time like a spirit. It comes and it goes. But where it comes it is the same colour. It neither survives nor does it live. It appears when it is wanted."
