Hi Bob;
I would like to discuss a bit further the importance of the I Ching.
You may have already viewed my post #211 on page 22 above, but allow me to expand on those comments.
It was Carl Jung who used the I Ching principles, to develope his idea of synchronicity vs. causality. Or if you will a probablistic universe vs. a deterministic universe.
It appears the large things in the universe display cause and effect, yet at the quantum level, this does not appear to be the case.
It was Einstein who said " I don't believe God plays dice with the universe ". Well at the quantum level it seems like he does.
My Idea deals with the proton/neutron which is at the quantum level. And I believe the I Ching with it's underlying concept of synchronicity is very applicable. It also deals very well with the metaphysical aspects of man as mentioned in post #211.
Now you have every right in your belief to be a bit dismissive of the I Ching and how it could relate to human dynamics, and I'm not trying to change those beliefs. I thought however I would expound a little more on the subject for the readers.
I Ching - the eight trigrams. PictureBest to all,
Pat
P.S Any and all questions regarding my Idea or the I Ching are of course welcome.

Mind and body are not separate, they are two perspectives on our total being. One is yin, the other yang, and the training and development of one influences the other... The Yijing (I Ching) is an ancient Chinese text exploring the symbolic representation of yin and yang. It is a rich source of wisdom that describes how we can best live in harmony with the forces that shape life. It has been used for thousands of years as a guide in times of uncertainty.
