Download or read book Total I Ching written by Stephen Karcher and published by Piatkus. This book was released on 2009-05-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The I Ching (pronounced ee-ching) is the oldest and most respected oracle or divinatory system in the world. There are currently two translations available which offer somewhat conflicting interpretations - the popular Confucian version and an earlier Taoist version called Zhouyi. Reconstructed by twentieth-century scholars and archaeologists, Zhouyi presents the highly imaginative world of myth and ritual that is the hidden base of thousands of years of Eastern thought. Now, for the first time ever, Stephen Karcher fuses these two traditions using modern scholarship and archaeological and linguistic research, along with a wide background in Eastern philosophy and comparative religion, and presents them to the modern Western reader in a comprehensive and accessible new form. TOTAL I CHING is a complete oracle with instruction for immediate use in all life situations, but is also the first translation to detail the mythology of the divinatory system, offering a revolutionary new approach to the world's oldest wisdom tradition.

Download or read book The Classic of Changes written by and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2004-03-31 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Used in China as a book of divination and source of wisdom for more than three thousand years, the I Ching has been taken up by millions of English-language speakers in the nineteenth century. The first translation ever to appear in English that includes one of the major Chinese philosophical commentaries, the Columbia I Ching presents the classic book of changes for the world today. Richard Lynn's introduction to this new translation explains the organization of The Classic of Changes through the history of its various parts, and describes how the text was and still is used as a manual of divination with both the stalk and coin methods. For the fortune-telling novice, he provides a chart of trigrams and hexagrams; an index of terms, names, and concepts; and a glossary and bibliography. Lynn presents for the first time in English the fascinating commentary on the I Ching written by Wang Bi (226-249), who was the main interpreter of the work for some seven hundred years. Wang Bi interpreted the I Ching as a book of moral and political wisdom, arguing that the text should not be read literally, but rather as an expression of abstract ideas. Lynn places Wang Bi's commentary in historical context.
Download or read book When I Ching Has No Text written by Alfred Kee and published by AK Guru Prediction Consultancy. This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are looking for an oracle system that can provide direct, precise, detailed, accurate, and straight to the point, no-nonsense answers. This book will serve you well! We will be discussing different examples (with real-life case studies) of questions that can be answered by WWG, such as employment and career, wealth (from personal to business and investment), health ( From general health to a professional application that not limited to Chinese and Modern Medicine), relationships (in any kind of relationships), property and feng shui, luck (including those that is intangible), and so much more. Wen Wang Gua is another I Ching practice that has a history of more than a thousand years. The accuracy of this system is extremely high. The designed framework of WWG adopts only the yin and yang to read the hexagrams and this makes deciphering so much easier. (i.e, if it wasn't yin, then it must be yang) Hence, there is no need for text during the entire deciphering process. Please be rest assured you will not need to pick up another translation of the I Ching again. This book simply does not copy just from the ancients. In fact, it has not much to do with the ancient texts. Despite saying this, this book is still using the basic and original designed structure, that was built thousands of years ago. It reveals many secret techniques and explains why some theories are not working. For the first time ever, I am revealing all those privately passed down techniques about this little known system of I Ching. I will lead the reader step by step through this fantastic and rewarding oracle from ancient China. To perform divination, it is absolutely not just about throwing coins and using one's intuition. It is a fully analytical system. That is why everyone can learn to read in the future. This book will guide you step by step with lessons (with proper listing and organising) from A to Z. I can assure you that this book is the one that you have been searching for a long time.

Download or read book The Living I Ching written by Ming-Dao Deng and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of 365 Tao and a leading authority on Taoist practice and philosophy comes a completely innovative translation of the classic text of Eastern wisdom, the I Ching. The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is an ancient manual for divining the future. Its basic text is traditionally attributed to the Chinese King Wen, the Duke of Zhou, and the philosopher Confucius. By tossing coins, rolling dice, using a computer, or, more traditionally, counting yarrow stalks, one can create a seemingly random combination of heads or tails, odd or even, yin or yang, to construct six lines (for example, solid for odd numbers or broken for even numbers). These six lines make up a hexagram that provides advice, predictions, and answers to questions on topics from love and career to family and finance. While known mostly as a tool of divination, the I Ching is also a repository of centuries of wisdom. Most of the existing translations offer either dense, scholarly commentary or little more than fortune-cookie platitudes, but in The Living I Ching Deng Ming-Dao takes a more holistic approach. His new translation recovers the true wisdom and philosophy of this ancient classic, so that the I Ching becomes more than just a book of fortune-telling -- it becomes a manual for living.
