Use the ancient oracles of the I Ching to gain insight into life, relationships, health, wealth and happiness. The oldest divinatory method to survive intact, the I Ching , or Book of Changes, gives the user an insight into the forces, or "the changes," that are occurring at any particular moment in time. Consisting of a set of 64 hexagrams, or six-lined figures, each with a name and description, the I Ching can be consulted whenever you want information about an aspect of your life. By simply holding a question in your mind and constructing a hexagram from coins or sticks, you can gain insights into what is happening for you now, and learn how to choose the path that will bring you least resistance and greatest joy. Find inner peace in taking charge of own destiny.

This edition of the ancient chinese oracle, "I Ching', was inspired by Jung's insights into the psyche and is the work of more than 60 years of research. It present the oracualr core of the 'I ching' as a psychological tool- the symbols interact wity our minds as dream images do. This new translation gives each Chinese ideogram the corresponding English word ('core word') which becomes a key to identify the ideogram. Each 'core word' is placed in the context of a 'field of meaning' and the reader chooses the images that most closely resonate with his or her situation and the question that is brought to the oracle. For the first time, Western readers can consult the 'I Ching' in its original purity, without the translator's personal interpretations and accumulated layers of philosophical commentary.

The I Ching serves as an oracle, transforming how you perceive your anxieties, fears, and desires, allowing for recognition and resolution while unlocking hidden transformative energies. Established over 3000 years ago in China, it was initially reserved for rulers but later became accessible to individuals facing turmoil, much like today. Drawing on C.G. Jung's psychological insights and researched for over 50 years with the Eranos Foundation, this edition transcends mere translation. It presents the I Ching as a psychological tool, connecting with the creative imagination that underpins various philosophies. This resource is invaluable when at a crossroads, where rational thinking falters and facts are lacking. It articulates a spirit focused on how we can live authentically, bridging our inner and outer worlds. The transformative power lies in viewing the text as an oracle, a method refined by the translation team to maintain the richness of its imagery. This results in a meaningful network that, when engaged with correctly, reveals the hidden forces behind your inquiries. The symbols of the I Ching interact with our minds similarly to dream imagery, making it an active sourcebook for nurturing the soul.
