I don’t think we will learn anything more about WWG  further in the future. Many members here are already staying here for a very long time and probably noticed who is offering WWG. Members here write pros and cons about different master. What we all can see before the arrival of Master Alfred is already very limited as we just can see some basic WWG is offering, that makes us hungry for more, then Master Alfred brought WWG to us that bring up into another level. But then, he become quiet for a long time. People is complaining about that and I was wondering why he wasn’t that active anymore until I spoke with him. I though he was busy with something new for us. But it seems like he is about to leave English speaking learners behind. I’m not sure, but I feel like  he seems disappointing with the people who trying to learn WWG here. He still very active in Chinese speaking area, his students in China is growing more and more, but he just stop thing here. From what my limited understanding, if I don’t get him wrong, his intention is not to teach those who has a very limited knowledge about WWG or not knowing Chinese history or classical text backgrounds. These group of people get very easy in misunderstandings his teaching intention and method. People who try to learn from him only take a partly course that a member shared a link here before. I think should be something in Udemy. That platform is not a proper learning platform. It is only bits and pieces content from the overall beginner level. And those who follow him, we should more or less know that he has something much more bigger than beginners level. 4 or 5 levels in total to complete WWG. If we make it into math, beginner level is a content that contain only 20% of WWG. And the bits from Udemy, probably split it into 3% or 5%? It is a very superficial of WWG. So how do people that only learn very superficial can understand how WWG works? This remind me of a coke and Pepsi competition. Pepsi has a sip test, and everyone started to love Pepsi with just a sip. But actually, just a sip doesn’t represent a whole. That is why in the end. Pepsi still not able to convince their customers. But people just like to make a conclusion with “just a sip”. I hope I get the message wrong. Otherwise, bye bye WWG. I still remember his last word very clear before hang up the phone. “Sometimes when people don’t deserve nice thing. We can just leave. Not a problem.” What a shame. People just don’t understand they have missed out their perfect shot. so copy whatever we can before master Alfred deletes all his works.

Hello, maybe I can share some of my experiences here.
First of all, this hexagram is a static hexagram, the answer is already very obvious. Nothing going to happen.

For the setting wise, I think people here like Raymond and Gmuli already mentioned the problems.

I like to share something from here regarding the accuracy that Sacrar asked.
The accuracy from Alfred school is designed to be 100%. I mean the logic and theory we learn from Alfred. Of course, he has never disclosed this in his books or on his website. We learn this from his level two course. Although the accuracy has already designed to be high accuracy, but in practical, it still has some uncontrollable factors, like chaotic hexagram that Alfred has mentioned in his book and also his website. In his later level, we learned that actually not only chaotic hexagram, but also many other factors. That is why we will never understand the system if we never get ourself into it. I have learned to overcome this in his 3 and level 4. What I mean here is, if we only read his first book, that only covers not more than 10% of his skill. From what I have learned so much from him, I can see that many of us that were trying to be self-made reader is actually something in a very entry-level, perhaps only 5% of his skill. That is why in my humble opinion, if we think we can master WWG by only reading his book that only covers 10% of WWG, or any books. We are of course will never understand how Alfred do the reading. Imagine we only understand how to ride a bicycle and expect we can understand how to pilot a flight. This is one of the biggest issues we faced and we have to confess ourself. Otherwise we will not improve. This is what I have gained after going through with Alfred. We really take WWG too easy, and not willing to invest too much on it, this is really a big problem. To be honest, before completing all his courses, I never thought that WWG is that in-depth. What makes me feel like we are so small is that one day, Alfred told me that, to him, WWG is still only 50%, he thinks that he still has many yet to discover. Yet, the response in the market already think that WWG is something very limited and that's it, already maximum. That is why when I said 10% from Alfred's skill is in fact already exceeds what we can search and learn from the Internet.

These are no my only personal view here, but also some of his students. I have spoken to some of them before and I know some of his students who are also in this forum. But why didn't they give suggestions on the reading. I think Gmuli has asked this question before, something like why don't share the information? Is not that not willing to share, but many times, we have been struggling hundred of hours just to get ourself to understand how to use the skills. It may take a few hours talk, not written format, in order to understand one simple thing. From this point, you can understand that how can we be expected to give an explanation clearly to anyone here with just a few paragraphs of words? I finally understand why Alfred and other students not really giving solid answers here. Is not that we don't want to, but it is just not possible to do so.

To be honest, WWG is nothing simple until and under Alfred's guidance. What I can say is, we have underrated WWG too much. Alfred himself can't even agree that he has fully mastered WWG. This also explains that his second book does not tell the relationship method in very detail that Gmuli doubt. From my learning path, I face the same problem like Gmuli does, until I proceed to level 3. I realized that the relationship method written in his second book is only a teaser to get us enter his level 3. Allow me to explain more here, in his second book, gain and lost method secrets were revealed in a few sentences, but in his course, it is really more than that, A lot more! Just like Sacrar stuck here with reading his level 1 book. From what I see here is, Sacrar is trying to use level 1 knowledge and intent to unlock level 2 treasure. This is not going to be possible. I mean we all play video games here. When we played video games, we know we need up level keys to unlock up level treasure. And for Gmuli, you get the secret scroll, but you have never yet to meet the hermit. You need to speak with Alfred! IDK, maybe you have already speak to him. Up until here, it is obvious that WWG is underrated and it has many things that link to higher level that it just doesnt make sense for us to explain all of them clearly over here. The only way to understand more is to attend his class and always speak to Alfred, take his mind and become yours. He is willing to share with us as long as we all have basic knowledge. I mean we can't expect pilot talk too much about how to pilot a plane with small kids like us that have no idea about plane.

Overall, great experience with his method, and I feel it is absolutely entering into something I cannot get anywhere. Accuracy wise, level 1 book is not designed for that. Level 1 is designed to completely understand the rules of WWG. Before we finish level 2, we can say that we barely, learned how to apply the rules. Maybe some genius out that are exceptions for this, idk. But for me, it is normal we didn't get the accuracy at this stage. Anyway, dont' get me wrong. WWG is not that difficult, really! Just that we underrated WWG and this make us can't move further.

Students can't know what is studied inside of them, as again - closed off. So they end up paying, then seeing there is nothing inside, then paying again etc.
And all is scam. If you have working system, using the same framework is supporting that scam, why would you do that I do not know... Because not working systems have to do it like this, no way around that. One of the reasons western people still stay away from that part of the Five Arts, we are very familiar with scams.

Lol, too complicated to explain with one reply here. I really love to explain them, but I don't think people here are interested to know. Anyway, if you want to understand why, why not get yourself to go through everything like all of us who pay a lot and were scammed? Then after spending uncountable money, look back at your original thought. See if you still can stand as what you were. Perhaps you will understand why. Cheers

Team b restrict team A. All the moving lines is helping team b. So team b will win. May I know what is the result?

Why is the setting flawed? At the time of casting my brother was already sick. The question was to confirm whether it would be covid-19 confirmed by PCR test. Two days after I asked, my brother took the PCR test and it was positive.
 what is a gain hexagram?

I suspect that one of the Parents may reflect the "positive", either Zi or Hai, since L2 Hai moves secretly as a result of the branch of the day. Or maybe Zi is the positive and Hai is the immunity that favours the sibling (generating relationship). I thought about that before I cast, so it would be part of the setting one of the parents as immunity....

It would make sense to "win an officer" when the officer is sitting in the self line, but is sitting in the Other line. Wouldn't it make more sense for the officer to be in the self line so as to leave no room for doubt? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That is a very big misunderstanding that “ I thought about that before I cast, so it would be part of the setting one….” What you thought is not necessary to be followed if it is a flawed thinking. For example, I want to cook Chinese food. So I think to use soy sauce. Then I buy Japanese’s soy sauce and think that I already knew how to make the food. In fact, Chinese doesn’t use Japanese soy sauce. This is the flawed that you assume that you are right. as a result, the Chinese food is not really a Chinese food. And you think that you would already complete a Chinese food. So, with the seeking advice from universe. When “he” knows you are not right, how can he tell you that you are using wrong soy sauce when the universe can’t tell by words. So, your assumption make the whole situation in a different. Possibly chaotic hexagram. This is actually super common in I Ching text as well where reader not even realize that they have chaotic I Ching hexagram. (Text based)

In sickness question, matter element is officer, not sibling and it has nothing to do with parent that is immunity. Parent exhaust officer. You gotta think. How immunity can exhausted officer, which is the sickness in this case? So, you cannot explain in the way you think or assume you are right. In five element cycle, sickness being exhausted (parent) is not immune.

That is why as I said, when the logic is not making sense, this make the universe difficult to tell answer through hexagram. That is why this hexagram is already wrong at the first place. Imagine your grandchild ask you, “grandpa, should we let the chicken (pointing to rooster) lay an egg and eat the little chicken tomorrow.” Your grand child assume that every chicken can lay an egg, and he expected that the little chick will become immediately a big chicken that is ready to cook. This is all completely make no sense. And you will never give a direct answer to your grandchild. Or worst, you ignore them like how universe ignore you.

I think when it is wrong. It must has a reason. I see many learners suspect what is in the hexagram often end up in a wrong suspect. Most of the time, the suspect is not even closed to reality.

Let me try answering this. First of all, your setting is probably in flawed. It makes the reading become difficult. If this was cast by me and if I read with the way how I will set. It means No by the time of casting, the officer line did not react with the self line. However, it is not 100%. It may be still infected. Because it shows gain hexagram type and the asset line is moving to generate the officer line. Anyway, what is the result?

So I wonder if the procedure of setting a frame of reference before casting and then interpreting it exactly as you have set it up can sometimes go wrong. I don't know why it can fail, like everything I suppose there are exceptions. Perhaps the unconscious content that is in your mind (with archetypal content with more divergent/creative type thinking) is more important than the frame of reference you set up, which is elaborated with logical/cartesian type thinking.

If it fails reading with the setting. It only has one reason. That is the reader doesn't understand well about the hexagram principle. For example, a driver (reader) set GPS (hexagram) before departure. the driver thought that there is only one route to the destination. (reader imagine that he/she knows well about the route) When the driver drives. There are basically 2 scenarios. One is everything goes with the plan. So, GPS shows the right path. (meaning, it works well when the hexagram result has no accident condition). Secondly, there is an accident somewhere and the car has to re-route. But the GPS was programmed to only go for one route. (lack of understanding about hexagram setting) At this time, the driver will get stuck and will claim that GPS is useless. Eventually, the driver plans to drive with his intuition. (reader rather goes with reading without setting). But the driver never understand that it is actually the GPS was not set in an intelligent way. The GPS suppose to be set to cope with multiple situations. That is why settings fail for people who don't understand well about WWG. This is not my idea, but from what I learned with Master AK. Many brilliant concepts will never be understood if we just read from his book. To use WWG professionally, it actually needed a very strong analytical mind. That is why we need to be trained. (Actually not only applicable to WWG).

Thanks for the kind response. Setting is actually a very broad idea and it meant to be flexible, yet, it still has rules to follow. The rules is written in AK book. https://www.amazon.com/dp/9671938701
Which AK called the hexagram principle. We follow the rules in this hexagram principle to do the setting.

“Setting” is a unique concept from AK. I've learned with few masters before AK. And none of any masters I've met mentioned anything close to this idea. So, it won't be a surprise that puppy love and jack Chiu don't understand this concept.

As explained, “Setting” works with proper rules so that it can be flexible. So, it can be considered as a skill. The skill is to learn not to set something that will break the rules.

Overall, setting need to set with logical rules. For example, if we want to check about income, it makes no sense to set sibling as income. This kind of setting has break the rules and it will not work. But when we ask about partnership business. Sibling can mean partner and expenses. At this time, the setting has to be logically set should it mean expenses or partnership?

AK’s idea is actually very profound and the content inside his book is probably only 30% or lesser comparing to the actual content of his course. That is why many having difficulty in learning his method when the course is not taken. Many not written in his book. His idea is already beyond many current liu yao concepts. I don't mean to promote his course. I receive no commission from him. But that is actually how things work. Just sharing.

Hope my two cents contributes some direction of learning.
