To what extent can constellations be trusted?

Since luck does exist, is it meaningful for the ancients to use divination to predict the development of things?

One of the foundations of divination is holographic cosmology, and the other is the theory of time and space reincarnation.

Simply put, holographic cosmology can be understood as follows: the whole universe is like a mirror. After the mirror is broken, each fragment of the mirror still has all the characteristics of the whole mirror. In the theory of space-time recursion, we can assume that an object flies in front of a mirror, and the whole mirror can reflect the object's flight, while mirror fragments scattered in different places can still reflect the object's flight at different times.

Therefore, any part has all the characteristics of the whole, which is the epitome of the whole development history and its simple and rapid repetition. Then we can draw a picture of time and events as follows. This picture shows that with the passage of time, the universe, the earth and human beings were born in turn, all of which developed according to the law of spiral rise. According to the development law of things from prosperity to decline, human beings, the earth and even the universe will one day die, and then enter another cycle from birth to death.

Then everything can find its own starting point and ending point on the time axis. If we connect life and death into two straight lines, then everything can be roughly regarded as a segment sandwiched between these two lines. It can be seen that what we do is also a line segment sandwiched between these two lines, and our divination is also an event, and there is also a process from beginning to end. According to holographic theory, divination is to simulate the macroscopic laws of the universe in a short time, and when the divination process ends, the result is precisely the time characteristics of everything in the universe at the end of this divination event.

This truth is easy to understand, just like we took a picture of blue sky, white clouds, mountains and rivers, trees, rivers and people with our camera. This photo is the state of heaven, earth and people captured at this time. Divination is to get the most popular feature on this time slice, that is, the state of everything in the world at this time, and then analyze the influence on our thoughts with reference. These universal truths are often applied in our daily life. For example, it is cloudy, which is the characteristic of this time slice. On cloudy days, we know that it may rain according to the common sense accumulated by the brain, so we will take an umbrella when we go out to avoid the consequences of being caught in the rain.

Therefore, the process of capturing the characteristics of time films by divination is objective, and the result is not controlled by subjective consciousness, which is natural. Therefore, the ancient divination methods are to avoid the interference of subjective consciousness as much as possible, because only in this way can the result be the most common feature of everything in the universe, and without the individual characteristics from your subjective consciousness, the influence of everything in the universe on you can be objectively judged.

Of course, although the result of divination is objective, the analysis of the result is subjective, just like reading a picture composition, everyone's understanding will be different, that is, although there is only one result of divination, different people understand it in different ways, which leads to the difference between "effective" and "invalid". In essence, there is no right or wrong in the divination process itself, and the result is only an objective fact, which is the characteristic of this time point. The difference between efficacy and ineffectiveness lies in the degree to which the person who interprets the divination results understands the operation law of everything in heaven and earth.

Here is a well-known historical story. Wang Chong's Lun Heng and Bei Tang Shuchao recorded similar events, telling the story that Zi Gong, a disciple of Confucius, went to various places as an envoy to lobby, but he still didn't come back when he came back. So Confucius took a hexagram and got a tripod hexagram, which changed the hexagram to 94. His slogan was "The tripod is broken." Confucius' disciples all said, "hexagrams are not enough." It seems that Zigong can't come back for the time being. " Only Yan Hui smiled without a word. Confucius asked him why, and Yan Hui replied, "Zi Gong will definitely come back. Even if it is not enough, he will come back by boat." Yan Hui said "by boat" because the next divination of Ding Gua is Xun, and Xun is wood.
