Four Primary Hidden Points of Divination

Four Primary Hidden Points of Divination (gab rtse bzhi)

The following four necessary aspects form the basis upon which all divination techniques are actually implemented: 1) the discrete elements which are determined according to their external, internal, and secret classifications; 2) the sense-objects which convey these elements to the senses; 3) the intellect which analyses the mutual relationships between the elements and sense objects; and 4) the mind which grasps the negative and positive attributes of such relationships.
