The Original I Ching - The Eranos I Ching Project (Paperback, New edition)

Containing a fully updated Introduction, this is the latest "state of the art" version of what is commonly referred to as the Eranos I Ching or Eranos Yijing (the phonetic transcription of the Mandarin Chinese). Based on over 60 years of research, it represents the most substantial advance in I Ching scholarship since Richard Wilhelm introduced the oracle to the West in the 1920s. The Eranos I Ching takes a unique approach to the oracle, considering it an exploration of potential synchronicities, rather than assuming that it can foretell the future. Thus, consulting the I Ching is like evoking a dream about a specific situation, and responsibility for the interpretation rests firmly with the consultant. The Eranos I Ching adopts an innovative translation technique, based on "core-words" and "fields of meaning", that allows a Western reader to access the multi-faceted nature of the original Chinese text, rather than being bound to the interpretation of a given translator. Consulting the oracle involves: * Asking a question that is emotionally significant for you - the more specific the better. * Casting a hexagram by dividing and counting a bunch of yarrow stalks or tossing three coins six times. * Reading your hexagram and "rolling the words in your heart", as the Chinese would say.
