Sourced from common roots of ancient Chinese (I Ching) and
pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican tradition, this easy-to-use new resource
distils and updates ancient, archetypal lessons for motivation,
hope, and practical guidance in modern life-situations. Symbolic
indigenous images and lucid text energise, harmonise, and integrate
the inquirer's feminine and masculine natures -- providing an
accessible, refreshing alternative to the masculine/aristocratic
biases of previous I Chings. The new sequence of hexagrams is
specifically designed to help individuals cultivate wise inner
responses to circumstances beyond their control. For readers of
Toltec Wisdom that have responded so enthusiastically to books like
The Four Agreements and to the idea of spirit warriors as in Dan
Millman's Peaceful Warrior, this hands-on oracle will be a welcome
addition. In these uncertain times, it will be a helpful tool to
many seeking inner guidance and understanding.
Translated by the eminent Taoist Master Alfred Huang, The Complete
I Chinghas been praised by scholars and new students of the I Ching
since its first edition. A native Chinese speaker, Master Huang
first translated the original ideograms of the I Ching into
contemporary Chinese and then into English, bringing forth the
intuitive meanings embodied in the images of the I Ching and
imbuing his translation with an accuracy and authenticity not
possible in other English translations. However, what makes his
translation truly definitive is his return to prominence of the Ten
Wings, the commentaries by Confucius that are essential to the I
Ching’s insights. This 10th anniversary edition offers a thorough
introduction to the history of the I Ching, how to use it, and
several new divination methods; in-depth and easy-to-reference
translations of each hexagram name, description, and pictogram; and
discussions of the interrelations between the hexagrams and the
spiritual meaning of their sequence.
