I Ching

I found the I Ching many years ago and have studied it extensively. It’s a book in which philosophy, sociology and psychology are symbolised and examined. These are some of my writings. I research different methods and ideas, although my current interests are not public. I have found what is arguably the definitive I Ching approach, using the Ba Gua diagram. That’s all I will say here.

 
There is a difference between establishing the I Ching and explaining it. The first has a logic of this means that within the system. It is essential, but not sufficient. The second is deeper but neglected, although philosophy traces can be found.

 
There is a mystery layer to the I Ching because we don’t fully know how or why it began. There are other layers, relevant for today, where the book connects with ideas from Jung, Husserl, Hegel, Bergson, Nietzsche, and other important thinkers.

 
Some people say the book is an oracle and I’m not interested in philosophy. But if they read for someone else, they dispense philosophy. Other people say the I Ching is a book of wisdom, not divination, but the same applies. If you find a relevant hexagram, and it doesn’t matter how you do it, the wisdom becomes real not scholarly:
