I Ching

Meer over het boek

The I Ching is an oracle. Its answers change the way you see things. Your anxieties, fears and desires emerge to be recognised and resolved, and hidden transformative energies are released. Developed as an essential wisdom system over 3000 years ago in China, the <i>I Ching</i> was originally reserved for the use of rulers but later its help became available to individuals in troubled times like our own. Inspired by C.G. Jung's insights into the psyche, and researched for more than 50 years through the aid of the Eranos Foundation of Switzerland, this edition is much more than another new translation. it presents the oracular core of the <i>I Ching</i> as a psychological tool, a way of connecting with the creative imagination that underlies all philosophies and systems. We need this book most when we stand at a crossroads of the soul, failed by rational thinking and with insufficient facts to guide us. In these situations it gives voice to a spirit concerned with how we can best live as individuals in contact with both inner and outer worlds. The transforming power is achieved by focusing on the book as an oracle, a method developed over many years by the translation o team to preserve the original wealth of the imagery. the result is a network of meaning that, when accessed correctly, provides insight into the hidden forces behind the very situation which prompted you question. The oracular symbols interact with our minds the way dreams images do. This is the language of the <i>I Ching</i>. It is an active sourcebook for the care of the soul.
