The I-Ching What is I Ching by Herk Stokely

[MrFalconford]

the i ching is not chinese the document was once written in chinese

[viksonav]

La idea de "sincronicidad", es de Jung, is very occidental (jajjajaja). ¿Por qué usar este concepto de "sincronicidad" para explicar algo oriental, de 3.000 años de antiguedad?, ¿es para no tener que estudiar la "filosofia" china?. Bien pero,parece I Ching tipo amburguesa, very "fast I ching". Lo de las monedas es reciente y una simplificación.... también y etceteras.... y la idea de metamorfosis, de cambio ¿ is not important? I Ching tipo sicoanálisis jungiano...... nou sankiu...

@IndeedmyFriend I didn't read what GaleZMe wrote, but you describe earlier in your comment exactly that, one's reality tunnel IS the only real one. I know you ask him if this suppose that he must think this way, but you do as well, because it is so. One's reality tunnel is the only real one because it is theirs. Reality is only in our mind and made up in our minds, not out in the exterior. The exterior holds data and our minds turn it into reality. Reality is perception which is subjective.

Pensar que si lo gobernantes del Mundo lo usasen para la Evolución , seria una herramienta potente , en cambio , utilizaron su potencial Sincronico y Adivinatorio para hacer la guerra ., Lamentable . Hoy día sus hexagramas aparecen impresos hasta en los Crop ...

[slavepigoregon]

Another idea the Western mindset can expand up and quantify......

[ninilovenana]

what about random probability

[Haremma]

I LOVE the I CHING.........life would no be the same without it ;)

[DecisionHelp]

Use the I Ching for valuable advice and insight. Try "The Pocket Oracle"

[catonic]

Adapt and improvise to the environment. Darwinism, i ching, you know do what you gotta do.

[moo3992]

@catonic  Jeet kune do, too!

[kasikoikun]

見たところ【投銭法】ですね。このほうが筮竹より簡単。

さらには、本来中国の占いは【無神論】なわけで、

その意味で筮竹は？が付く。

※本来コインは、中心に【四角】の穴のあいた物が正解です。

@kasikoikun ye man

[Kostly]

@matthewjames83 Yes, I agree!  There are a few demonstrations on youtube. Time consuming, yes. However, I think a greater connection is made using that method.

[laynpipe1]

what are thoughts on CG jung.

[okay081]

why does the i ching use 3 coins? what is the meaning for this?

[Kostly]

@okay081 It's just a methodology to construct the 6 yao which make one of the 64 hexagrams. There are other methods to contrusct the hexagrams. Such as, counting yarrow stalks. 3 coins is a more modern method than the yarrow stalks. Why it matters is because, as was speculated in the video, is that it makes a connection with the questions you have for the I-Ching. The Universe is, as I see it, primarily conciousness and that is why this I-Ching works to great effect.

[jimmyjamesWang]

@sprucepantherpdx, it is actually philosophy.

[Kostly]

@jimmyjamesWang In a way, most definitely. However, it is based on very ancient knowledge that OUR translation of reality is, to a great affection, mathematics based. The math involved in the I-Ching can be very complicated when you put the numbers against a cosmological backdrop. The formulas you can develop with it can be alarmingly accurate when you overlay them throughout any period in history. By accurate, I mean, tracking the ebbs and flows of "things".

[DavidTheSilencer]

Ron Paul?

[ciennodel]

The same thing that control all stuff, because everything's one, so all moves together.

[MBW600]

What force controls the coins?

[Kostly]

@MBW600 Conciousness. I am of the thought that conciousness is the ultimate in making the Universal reality. We simply share that conciousness and are able to create things with it due to our powerful brains. Think of reality as a product of, not only, our conciousness, but, all animals, insects and plants (plus the Greater Conciousness). The coins will fall as they may. Before, during and after, you should be meditating on your questions while you chart your hexagrams.

[HylianSpirit]

This man gives a very intelligent description. He's neither overly skeptical or superstitious.

As all people should be in these sorts of things, including Tarot and such.

[493175001]

Perhaps they came up with ching using the wadegiles nomenclature.

[kungfuslut]

Does anyone know deeper meanings with the I-Ching, not just for it being related to fortune telling? Is there anything that teach's how you can use it for your life with understanding change/working with change better instead of just getting an answer every so often?

[hadje22]

yes...you must read The Complete I Ching by Alfred Huang. The I Ching is a deep deep deep expression of Tao. Also check out Terence Mckenna and the I Ching (youtube videos)...not a "traditional' viewpoint, but he does have an understanding of the I Ching's deep logos.

Huang's translation is the best...just read the texts about the hexagrams, forget about divination...time and cycles are an interplay between Initiating (Yang) and Responding (Yin)...

[Globalmarketingpros]

Self Communication, based on multiple possibilities within parameters. If those parameters are morals then that limits any chance of any hexagram appearing, or even negates it. Morals are internal not external. I am also interested in the methodology of the I Ching as documented and esoteric knowledge as a methodolgy. Coins are more associated with wealth and or exchange when duty and loyalty to morals contribute more to ones path in life and future.

[zippydoogun]

This video is an excellent reminder of the nature of reality. One can view produced hexagrams as images of states within which our powerful Will moves and operates.

[GnaReffotsirk]

I agree. The thing is, the I-ching has a good "approach" to life situations, in which, most people might want to peer into and find meaning, then direction.

Looking back, from experiencing it with sincerity, the i-ching kinda helps to shape the perspective on any given situation, and sets the person and gives him/her an approach.

Overall, I think the more creative the person is, the better he gets "guidance" from the i-ching. Don't do it too often though. Once a month may be enough.

[Mike3gdc]

thanks for the great explanation.I have one question: say I asked a question to set up a business or date a girl and the hexagram 29(Abysmal) came then it changed to 5 hexagram(Waiting),now,i get that I shoud not do that business or date the girl but for HOW LONG? how long a reading is valid? can I ask the same question in 1,2,3 months?how we figure out the timing issue on I-ching reading? many thanks for your reply.Best,Mike

[GnaReffotsirk]

Facts are very important, Mike. A 3 10 year old cannot possibly "concieve an idea" compared to say, a very experienced 40 year old. The idea is to use it to "mirror" or "focus" your perspective on a subject. What does 29 (and the chaneline) inspire you to do? Do you think it's a good idea? Can it be backed by real facts, issues, opportunities that are actually there?

The point is to use it as a tool to help you focus, or better yet, get a starting point of deliberating a certain subject. :)

[GnaReffotsirk]

Like, say 29->27 doesn't say to stop and wait. (as I see it) But it suggests to accept that there are dangers, that one needs to have a fallback position just in case, to keep things simple, and not get crowded into losing the way. Then it speaks of nourishing, taking care, making things grow, being supportive, constructive, or helping things out for betterment. I'm not sure, but it's really up to you. :)

[Kostly]

@GnaReffotsirk Very good explanation! Thanks.

[Petrum100]

You can ask 'related' questions immediately following the first one and build up a larger contextual understanding. You 'wait' for however long it takes for events (external or internal) to unfold and reveal an obvious way forward, probably in an altogether different direction - this is moving in harmony with the Tao.

[Mike3gdc]

thanks so much for the great answer.

I can see the 29 and 5th hexegram are unfolding already! didnt take that long to see its accuracy! its quit freaky!thanks I-ching.thanks Petrum!

[Kostly]

@GnaReffotsirk Excellent wisdom, here! THanks.

[angelting06]

the i ching works

[5T4RSCREAM]

@angelting06 Do you have any documentation on how to use this?

[Quinctius]

your higher Self= the inner soul. This is NOT the consciousness that we expierence all day it is the true loving godly feeling that makes you completely happy and satisfied with everything you know. you realize we're all the very same and from the very same source...

[ispiseco]

Finally someone that gets it!
