I advise you to try I-Ching, the ancient chinese oracle and wisdom book. It is absolutely mind blowing, also read about Jung's "syncronicity" concept.

I've heard the I-Ching is more than a system of divination. What do the combinations of yin and yang in the hexagrams represent?
>>
>>19511512
Jung's concept of synchronicity mainly dealt with the archetypes he encountered during his dream analysis sessions. I'm pretty sure he attributed these to the collective unconscious mind. I haven't read the entire book though.

Energy configurations -- A frequency. Rather like the tarot archetypes also represent frequencies for various states of being. Daoism in general is the bees knees.

I agree. I've read some of Damo Mitchell's books on Neigong. He introduced the concept of yin and yang as the peaks and troughs of a wave. It's hard to grasp the meaning of individual hexagrams though. Are they just abstractions or do they manifest in concrete visible forms?

King Wen formation, and King Wen based I-Ching, are wrong.

You should read "I Ching - Foreword by Carl Gustav Jung"

Didn't realize that he mentioned Daoism outside of the Golden Flower text. I'll check it out.

From what I gathered the Chinese understanding of the universe is informed by 'coincidence', yes? This isn't to disparage the idea as the term has a very negative connotation in the Western mind as Jung discussed.
Synchronicity, the arising of multiple seemingly unrelated things in a related fashion in a single moment, seems to be a determinant factor in how individual occurrences arise. It sounds like I am talking out of my ass.

Basically what I am saying is my interpretation of the foreword is that 'chance' in Chinese philosophy is law. And that chance in any given moment can incarnate as a given hexagram, which is again predicated on the moment of observation.

You are making sense actually

>>19511676
I find that the I-Ching is not so much as a form of divination to tell the future, but a method to understand what is going on in your present.

I tried it yesterday for the first time, not sure if I did it exactly right. Definitely interesting.

It's good, I use it too, but throw real coins yourself, there is an option for virtual coints and real ones.
