I-CHING CONSULTATIONS

In the West, we are rightly very proud of our rational thinking and argue that any behavior outside of this path is doomed to failure and is the conduct of madmen!

However, it suffices for us to observe our own life faithfully to realize that this way of being is not always crowned with success and that, often, hazards or accidents that we could not have foreseen in any way lead us to fail or an undesirable situation.

Knowing this, the masters of I-Ching enjoy to explain to us that the method of divination can just as easily lead us to success if we know how to stand back from our desires and our projects and espacially hear the given advice. Incidentally, we can discover the impenetrable ways of hazard (which is part of oriental wisdom).

The I-CHING is both a divinatory art and a book on wisdom. The Taoist philosophers who conceived it and formulated its sentences dominated the culture of the east during the millennium which precedes the Christian era. But it was not until the 17th century that various translations made it known in the West.

Starting from the first principles of Taoism, the opposition / complementarity of Yin (receptive, passive, feminine) and Yang (creative, active, masculine), the inventors of Yi-King designed the figure which systematically combines all the possibilities of these two basic principles: it is the hexagram, combination of two trigrams of 3 lines, in total, 6 lines Yin or Yang. The developed octave of the two principles is therefore available in 64 possible hexagrams which represent all of the possible archetypal situations, each consisting of two trigrams among the 8 possible.

"Treaty of mutations", the I-Ching offers a catalog of changes that affect life, people and their relationships. In addition to the sixty-four simplified transitions described by the 64 hexagrams, it depicts the 384 transformations which affect in positive or negative the evolution of beings and situations. Each line, each position, each frame gives rise to an interpretation. In fact, combinatorics is much richer than the 64 basic hexagrams and the 384 archetypal situations! It's up to you to play and discover them... This application gives you the opportunity!

The alternately poetic and impenetrable elliptical language of the I Ching opens the mind of those who listen to it and allows them to glimpse new truths.

This version offers you the interpretation of an oracle which can be drawn according to the Chinese tradition or according to the fun way proposed by the application. We hope that this first glimpse of Chinese thought will give you the desire to push your thinking further off the beaten track and to purchase some additional interpretations offered online for a low price.
