Fortune telling is like reverse abstraction, because the
information we can get from a life code is abstracted, and we try to revert it to
phenomenon. It is like the blind men and an elephant story: we are in the
darkness, we can sense the shape of the unknown, and we try to learn what the thing
is like.
Who is best doing reverse abstraction? The answer is blind
men, because that is what they do. Blind people touch things and revert the
touch into shapes in their mind. It’s just like reading signs: converting
abstract information from life code into image. In the previous blog, http://hhftn.blogspot.ca/2016/03/the-history-of-fortune-telling.html,
I mentioned there are three factions in fortune telling, the blind group is one
of the three, and the blind group is specialize in reading signs. Now thinking
about it, I think it makes a lot of sense.
