This magical tale takes us on an enchanted journey back in time to
the origins of the I Ching in ancient China. A Tale of the I Ching
tells the story of the young village ne'er-do-well, who becomes the
first disciple of the great sage emperor Fu Hsi--the creator of the
I Ching. As Fu Hsi opens the heart of the I Ching to the young
student who sits at his feet, the inner workings of that great book
of divination are revealed. Readers the world over say that the
marvelous story of A Tale of the I Ching opens the I Ching to them
as never before. "Of all the stories you have heard of the great
sage ruler, even though they were magnified a hundred times, none
can do him the honor he deserves. Of all people, he is the most
worthy, the most honorable, the wisest. The wisdom of the world
flows through him like a sparkling brook through the forest. When
he speaks, time seems to cease." --from A Tale Of the I Ching

In this user-friendly interpretation of the I Ching, Michael Drake
presents drumming as a revolutionary way to approach the ancient
Chinese oracle. A synthesis of shamanic drum ways and Taoist
philosophy, I Ching: The Tao of Drumming provides for the first
time the rhythmic structure of the 64 hexagrams or potential human
situations. Drum patterns derived from the hexagram images render
the essence of each archetype of experience into sound, giving it
physical, mental, and spiritual impulse. Through the natural law of
resonance, the drummer then embodies the qualities and attributes
necessary to effect change or harmonize with change in any given
situation. With clear and practical explanations of each of the 64
hexagrams along with useful exercises and illustrations, the author
demonstrates how drumming these simple rhythm archetypes brings the
essential self into accord with the pattern or way of cyclical
change, and that way is known as Tao.
Blofeld compiled this 1963 translation of the Book of Changes (Yi
Jing) intending to present primarily the divinatory aspects of the
I Ching in the notes and explanatory chapters. In his efforts he
had the assistance of several learned native Chinese I Ching
scholars. As useful as it is informative, the book includes not
only the text and commentaries for all 64 hexagrams (with changing
lines), but as well the background of the Book of Change, its
symbolical basis, method of divination and guide to interpretation;
and a variety of tables and diagrams for assisting interpretation.
This revised and expanded edition of Wu Wei's well-loved version of
the I Ching is unparalleled in its clarity, making this the
easiest-to-grasp I Ching ever published. The I Ching is a book of
answers that miraculously guides us to success in every possible
situation. Yet, if we are to rely with absolute certainty on the I
Ching for guidance to our most vital questions, we need answers
that are clear and straightforward, leaving no room for confusion
or misunderstanding. Wu Wei has guided thousands of people in the
use of this great book and knows precisely what you need so you can
put your trust in its prophetic guidance. Wu Wei's insightful
interpretations of the I Ching's sixty-four hexagrams provide
perfectly clear, unambiguous direction while remaining completely
true to the ancient writings. You will know exactly what action to
take to avoid misfortune and achieve success. The I Ching: The Book
of Answers contains everything you need to know about the I Ching
and how to use it.
This sequel to the popular I Ching Wisdom Volume One contains more
of Wu Wei's profound sayings drawn from the I Ching's deepest
wisdom. I Ching Wisdom Volume Two also contains more of Wu Wei's
delightful Chinese ink drawings done in the Zen style and profound
sayings drawn from the I Ching's deepest wisdom. Wu Wei has added
his enlightened comments to these sayings to help us apply the
practical, timeless wisdom of the I Ching to our lives. The I
Ching's insights, says Wu Wei, help us steer a safer, clearer
course through the uncharted journey of our lives, teach us to
recognize and avoid the pitfalls that beset the path of the
unenlightened, and show us how to "soar to the heights of success
and good fortune."
When the so-called End of the World date December 21, 2012
according to the Mayan Calendar passed peacefully, it gives some
people quite a room for thinking and rethinking. What does the End
of the World mean indeed? Will a day like that come to us for the
real? If the answer is NO, then why does the Bible say that it is
for the real in black and white, that is the day when Jesus comes
the second time? If the answer is YES, then why so many people
"crying wolves" have found themselves to be wrong? This demands us
to face the music and seek the true answer. This book is published
to provide readers "another kind" of thinking for this issue so
that we have a better and deeper understanding of "the Last Days"
talked in the Bible, from the perspective of the ancient Chinese
culture. After we published Taichuan Tongs' six-book "End Time
Series" by the Christmas of the year 2011, we met a special reader
who showed such a great interest in the six books that he started
to share his feedback and inspired reflections and research for
many issues on one of our websites at 1459919.NET using the pen
name Lot Tertius. Maybe our six books had renewed his
understandings of the Bible and his wholistic view and vision of
other things outside the Bible, he contacted us and expressed his
need to reform his past understandings of "I Ching," the one
ancient Chinese writing that is considered to be the book of all
other books among Chinese speaking people. To our surprise, this
reader of our six-book "End Time Series" finished the manuscript of
this new book in only two months. The original manuscript was named
"Use the Bible to Crack Open I Ching." To be consistent with our
six books, we talked to the author and he agreed to change the name
to the current one: "Cracking the End Time Code in I Ching with the
Bible: Does the Book of Change Contain Biblical Messages?" After
reading the manuscript of this book, we found that its perspective
is unique and its flow of thoughts is sound. It shows that the
author has a deep and wide understanding of the Bible and because
of this he has a better and special understanding of the ancient
Chinese book "I Ching" from a higher level than other views, past
and present. In a sense, this book confirms an important concept in
our original six books: Because Christians establish a very
personal relationship with God through the person of Jesus, they
not only recognize all laws in God's physical creation (the
Nature), they also view God as a person who fellowship with them on
daily basis. As for non-Christians, because they do not accept God
as a person, they only see God as natural laws, governing all
things. Through the publishing of this book, we believe that you
will find the laws and principles in the Bible are not in conflict
with those hidden in I Ching, rather they agree to each other in
many ways. Based on this objective comparison between the Bible and
I Ching, we believe that all will see the open heart of the Father:
He does not want even one to perish in this world but to be saved
through the only mediator, Jesus, and to receive the better
resurrection that is appointed for everyone.
