hebrew proverb - don't ask questions
אל תשאל שאלות
לא תשמע שקרים
Al Tishal she'elot Lo tishma shkarim
don't ask questions, you won't hear lies
(it's for a cheating husband situation imo but it works well for a lot of cases)

Philip K. Dick - "The Man in the High Castle"
The Axes have won, the USA is separated in a Nazi occupied part and a Japanese occupied part. People read the "I Ching" to make choices. A forbidden book, "The Grasshopper lies heavy", details an alternate reality where the Axes have lost...
Japanese vs Western thinking. Tao. I Ching.
At the very end the book turns out to be "written by" the I Ching (as Philip K Dick used the I Ching to write this book). Why it was written? Inner truth... because it's the truth.
Nice read, but I wasn't blown away. I think I'm missing the deeper connections here, which is a shame. Maybe I should read more Leonard Cohen poetry, then try again.
