The I-Ching, which translates as "Book of Changes," is the world's
oldest known book, the sourcebook for Taoism, the martial arts, Chinese
medicine and Feng Shui. In addition, it has doubled as an intuitive
decision-making aid used by emperors, sages and leaders for over 3500
years. It was popularized in the West by the founder of depth
psychology, Carl Jung, who studied its "synchronicity principle" for
some 30 years.
As a divination tool, the I-Ching is generally used for gaining
insight into, and timely advice about, the kind of dilemmas that logic
can't handle-- things like major personal decisions, negotiating
strategies, relationship issues. Avid users have included Confucius,
Liebniz (inspired by its yin-yang system to invent binary mathematics),
Albert Einstein, von Neumann (inspired by its permutations to invent
digital computers), Alan Watts, Bob Dylan and Sting.
We are told that it is not necessary to take the Oracle of Changes
literally to derive benefit from this form of "desktop meditation." We
hope you enjoy this new feature! |
