Does 'those skilled in change need not divine' mean you should never seek another reading after learning divination?

The saying emphasizes applying understood principles in life. Someone familiar with the I Ching can observe and judge through what they have learned, knowing how to face and handle situations without requiring a reading before beginning to think about every matter.

Notice daily events, your current situation, and what needs understanding or resolution. Calmly see clearly before considering the next step. Learning gradually becomes an ability to respond to life this way.

My early divination also involved learning through different clients and questions. Sometimes people repeatedly asked one kind of question for a period, yet each situation and reading differed. I needed to consider that particular interpretation. Gradual understanding through experience developed clearer judgment.

Discussing an online article with Dao Xuan, we did not first divine whether it was true. We examined the narrative and explained our questions. I also said we might be wrong and would correct ourselves if the person explained events differently. Observation and thought develop judgment rather than leave everything to a reading.

This does not announce that understanding the principle forbids all further divination. I train people to judge from knowledge, practice, and concrete events rather than ask deities even about obviously unreasonable demands. Yet I have also described using readings before work in a home to understand conditions, then reading again afterward to confirm completion before leaving.

I have discussed both approaches. Practice understanding what you can understand yourself; methods for investigating and confirming religious work also depend on the occasion. The saying cannot mean everyone should stop learning divination, nor that every small daily matter requires it. Real understanding matters, not using one sentence to impose the same method everywhere.
