Sharp Lower Right Back Pain




I CHING


" what is 'inside and' out, what is 'above and' below "
(Table smaragdina) in West
While scientific knowledge is based on the principle of cause, in the East explanatory element the real and 'the principle of synchronicity'. And it 'the foundation of one of the most' great texts of Chinese culture: the I Ching, a code reading of the universe and one of the basic texts of Taoism and Confucianism.
Taoism and 'old knowledge of inner development with magical origins, probably dating back to shamanism of witches Wu. It does not come on a fixed date or a prophet but initial sinks into the mists of time. The two texts' remote, the Tao-Te-Ching and Zuang-Te-Ching, contain ancient esoteric practices.
Taoism and 'a form of thinking and a way of life flow from it a philosophy, medicine, spiritual discipline and a alchemy.
The prevailing principle and 'harmony between man and the universe, pervaded by the same vital energy, chi (or Ki).
man should harmonize the flow of its energy with technical and psycho-physical dynamics, such as qi gong and Tai Chi Chuan, so 'his life will become' long, healthy and relaxed, opening immortality 'spiritual.
practices to achieve this' were once esoteric, a few students taught by teachers or texts written on tight. If you add to this the reluctance of Chinese to teach their doctrines to foreigners can understand that what arrives in the West, 'a pale reflection of original thinking.

The ancients had discovered the secrets of the intelligent force that flows through all things, and that 'the origin of life itself. In the human body it flows in two streams of yin and yang in invisible channels known as meridians. If flowing well, we have health, wellness and longevity ', if running bad form of energy blocks that give the disease.
our every thought, emotion and action affects the Ch'i, so if a life has imbalances, including the Ch'i will be 'unbalanced and we will have an excess or a lack of yin or yang. Taoist practices involved in the life which I pay more 'harmonious. Taoist Meditation
heads internal energy. The technique sounds of the Six Secrets of Qigong cleanses the internal organs and from the negative sign to open the two principal meridians. Other practices mitigate the negative emotions: fear, sadness, anger, hatred, and weaken the Ch'i.
Tao Chi Chuan and 'the style of the thirteen movements, created by Taoist hermits to harmonize their energy with that universal, to enter into altered states of consciousness and defend against enemies. With very graceful movements creates the consciousness of his Ch'i improves physical health, mental and internal.
Taoism does not have a body of doctrine, but shows a lifestyle, so you can 'be Taoist without knowing it. There are texts to read but are too difficult for us Westerners.
In the sixth century BC and flourished many schools appeared Taoist Lao-Tzu and Chuang Tzu.
Towards the fifth century AD, Taoism was established as a church like the Buhhismo and Confucianism.
The principle and 'the Tao, life stream that originates the universe of which we can not' say anything, not even that is called Tao, and 'God before creation, the transcendent power, symbolized by two opposing spirals. When the Tao enters the world of created things, is duplicated in two quality 'basic yin and yang.
Tao means the Way, the Truth 'and the Life, so' as Christ ' the Way, the Truth 'and the Life. The only way to talk about it 'to Castaneda: "If a way (Tao) has a heart, it should be followed, otherwise it is' nothing .
Lao Tzu (or Lao Tze) was a contemporary of Confucius and maybe you knew. The sixth century BC C. was the period of the decline of the Chou dynasty. The two essays that did not lay down principles already 'exist. Lao-Tzu and perhaps not 'even have a name, means' old master 'and refers to a mythical thinking more' than a real character.
The legend says that Lao-Tzu, on a trip, he stopped 'at a guard who asked him to write a book and said Lao-Tzu's' Tao-Te-Ching After that 'disappeared.
This book describes the Tao, the Way, of which nothing is known even if it 's all, and that' s what allows things to be. If the man wants to live well in harmony with the universe follows the Tao. If everyone is suitable for Tao, there would be no need to read it 'war. Follow the Tao and 'a mystical way, not easy, which allows man to enter into the essence of the universe.
In the world there was the Chinese concept of immortality ', but I think' that the practices of the Tao did not only achieve longevity 'health and immortality, but also' spiritual. Practices following the failure to understand from the five grains, controlled breathing, the retention of the male semen ingestion of mercury sulfide (cinnabar).
the I Ching Jung met with his friend, Richard Wilhelm, a Protestant missionary, who had been in China for 30 years and thought he had studied with the help of great scholars. In 1929, Richard Wilhelm back 'in Europe and translated into German and English, the I Ching' or 'Book of Changes', also making him known to the West. It is an ancient meditation texts written in verse, whose symbolism and 'family and social organization linked to ancient China and the five elements that constitute the principles quality of the Chinese world: water, air, earth, fire, more 'flexible element, said wood or metal.
Since 1929 this book of wisdom has stimulated discussion of many men of European culture among its admirers include, in addition to Jung, modern intellectuals such as Federico Fellini, who held him in high regard.
It 's not easy to read a text and e' wrong to consider a book of semantics, that 'of God and in reality', more than giving predictions, the book encourages the soul searching and meditation stimulating it by means of symbols.
Jung used this oracle as a guide to whether 'and for their patients, obtaining help for their diagnosis and therapy.
The text contains a sequence of 64 groups of verses, which were written over 4000 years, with interpretations attributed to various schools and various emperors.
Being created is presented to us as quality alternatives' opposite. This polarity 'is met in the Tao symbol, a circle that represents the whole, a world within which created a quality' of energy and its opposite, they are not separated by a sharp line but merge into one another winding a second diaphragm that shows how the white becomes black and black white, and the one always in the slides. The separation does not exist in nature, and 'only a fiction of the rational mind which distinguishes and separates the parts of their being non-communicable, while the curved line shows the ability of the Tao 'intuition to connect every part of being with the polar part, so' to comprehend the infinite coexistence all in all. The two
quality 'are represented in a symbolic way with a solid line and a broken line. The solid line and 'yang, the principle operator, solar, masculine and active in the world, strength of design and creative moment. The open line and 'yin, the principle receptive and friendly, feminine or lunar energy in the world, tender and reflective time. The two polarities 'together form the Lord, that' Life. Eternity 'and shows' a continuous flow, a polarity' to another, in a binary system become constant. How 'binary breath so' being 'alternative of life and death, act and suffer, black and white, male and female, light and dark ... never share split and separate but converging into one another.
Jung gave to this constant flow of the greek name = enantiodromi'a race against, making it a dynamic characteristic of the psychic.
the I CHING and 'one of the basic texts of civilization' Chinese and 'work together with religious and philosophical.
Its history and 'very old and begins with a legend.
In the 3rd millennium BC, lived in China, Fu Hsi, one of the mythical founders of civilization 'Chinese. It was called the Yellow Emperor, 'cause his lands were at the Yellow River. He was a man of great wisdom and invent 'units' of measurement, it was a rational, a meter, such as Pythagoras. Also like Pythagoras to find out 'mathematical relationships between the musical notes. Legend has it that, listening to the song of two birds, a male and a phoenix phoenix female, I distinguished 12 different sounds, which reproduced with bamboo canes 'of different lengths (as built Pythagoras' Similarly, a zither). 6 alternating rods corresponding to the singing of the female at 6 corresponding to the singing of the male got double the musical scale, which is the basis of the complex Chinese music theory, based on the number 12, 6X2. As you can see, the music descends from the union of a female principle with a male principle. But the Emperor was
HI was not happy. He knew many things and had so many discoveries, but his intelligence had not answered key questions: who we are, where we go, what 's the meaning of life, what' s the nature of Being.
One morning before dawn, walked restlessly on the banks of the Yellow River, thinking that all he knew was useless, that his rationality 'was not enough and the reason was its defeat, but, as it came 'to this bitter end, that's had a vision from the river you get up' a huge dragon yellow gold. It was the rising sun.
The Dragon and 'a great model in China, represents the cosmic energy and the great power of Being. In China the dragon 'of gold and gold and' the color of the sun and the divine. The water instead is the unconscious, the dark be profound. Even in the northern European sagas
the dragon and 'the energy that must be tamed by the hero who bathes in her blood to participate (Siegfried). The Dragon and 'the pure energy, which can' destroy mankind or be used by him. If we are not in harmony with Being the dragon destroys us, but if we conduct our lives well, we can share in his light.
The Dragon and 'twofold. E 'with wings then lift capacity, and' made of fire, therefore, has a light that can 'bring knowledge as destruction. Sometimes the hero wins it with a sword with two blades, one for the material life, the other for the spiritual.
In Excalibur, Merlin the magician shows the king of the fire dragon, but this' adventure of every man, that must arouse and tame the power of his deep unconscious. We are the dragon. If getting in touch with the 'we know the great power that lives in all things. The dragon
FU HSI was magnificent, stood up 'in flight under the rays of the sun and show' the scales on its belly. They were solid lines and broken lines. Seeing those lines, suddenly, FU HSI intuitive 'nature of Being. Had put many questions, now suddenly understood that there were no answers' cause the questions were poorly formulated.
The alternation of whole and broken lines show what 'that was life: a continuous alternation of polarities' different, a continuous passage from day to night, from hot to cold, from winter to summer, from male to female from good to bad, but it was necessary to form the unit 'of Being.
Life was the pair of two polar energies, yin and yang, but both were necessary to form the whole and that it was not 'yin I' yang, but the union of all contraries. This means that the highest wisdom and 'accept life in all its parts because' being and 'just that: alternating moments against, different energies, and can not' be one without the other.
The solid line and 'yang, active, or male force in the world, and dynamic design element. The yin and 'the line open or broken, the feminine, receptive, passive, reflective of the world. The two polarities
'together form the Lord. The eternal and 'continuous flow of energy from pole to pole, and it' made up of different moments, such as breathing, and that 'the fact of inhalation and exhalation, so' life 'alternative of life and death, act and suffer, black and white, male and female, light and dark.
FU HSI was struck by this idea that the universe had appeared to him like a revelation.
His mind was thrown to the ordinary mind mystical-intuitive, the level of matter to that of the sacred.
The hexagram of the I Ching shows the human and cosmic as well 'as they appear in the moment, in symbolically allowing the assessment of when to choose better for the future, so 'as you do with the image of a dream. As the dream it and 'the link between the personal world and the universe have to be, and' the event that synchronously reproduces the ties of the individual to the whole.
We can only guess the thought of Fu Hsi, 'cause I do not leave a written' nothing. But we let '64 hexagrams, each combination of six lines, in practice all the combinations that you can do with six sets of whole or broken lines (2 to the sixth). These 64 hexagrams are the ways in which the energies of yin and yang can be combined. They are the ways of the Lord.
It was in the 3rd millennium BC C., would go a very long time until the 6th century BC C., when another essay, on a mountain in Asia Minor would have been the revelation of such a theory, the theory of opposites and the eternal becoming, that essay greek night and was called Hercules.
The dragon was the symbol of eternity changes to Fu Hsi, the fire was the symbol of becoming universal Heraclitus. In his own time, always in China, another Chinese sage states' the same philosophy of Heraclitus with the same exact words. Heraclitus said: "panta rei ", "everything flows ", " reality 'and' like a river and there you can 'bathe twice in the same water . Confucius said: " Everything flows and flows like the river, without stopping, day and night . HI FU
placed himself with his face turned to the north, then back On his right was the South East, where the sun rises, the left the West, where the sun sets. Sign 'so' the four cardinal points, which, with four intermediate points, give the 8 basic directions of space. Symbolically
East and 'the beginning of a new day, life, the seed, and therefore,' the sign of the Father, the creative power, strength, sun, dawn, the birth energy, Heaven . The west and
'instead sunset, the end of days, death, the decline in energy, darkness, 'the Mother Earth.
The North and 'the place of the cold, the heat of the South.
In the same way every other point will 'his symbolic position.
From 8 compass points to 8 main winds come, they give me the wind rose, the 8 main directions, which are necessary for navigation.
But where the two signs 'solid line and broken line'?
In the ancient world, Chinese people used a lot oracles, as in all the ancient world. The most 'simple answer to a question with a "yes'" or a "no". The
is' corresponded to the line whole, the no to the broken.
But the answers of life are often more 'complicated than a yes' or no.
So the soothsayers of response increased by bringing the lines to 3 and then 6. the union of two trigrams was born the hexagram. This
'that occurred on Earth movements corresponded to the energy of Heaven.
Like life and 'a continuous succession of changes, so' the 6 signs indicating these changes.
Gradually over time they formed 'a real book, and that', in fact, the Book of Changes, which in Chinese is called the I Ching, and it became important in Chinese philosophy, even to the point that the revolution of Mao pote 'delete it.
To reach a verdict, are used today launches 6 3 coins, but once they used bundles of stems, more 'or shorter' long dell'Achillea, which was a sacred plant, convinced that the very nature respond.
But because 'solid lines and broken? Since most Chinese
world 'there came the old tortoise shells.
Etruscans and Romans used in the ancient art haruspicy, the liver of animals sacrificed to the gods to derive predictions, the ancient Chinese instead threw into the fire the scapula of a sheep or a turtle's shell. The fire will crack, soothsayers examining the cracks, I watched and studied the direction and the line was broken or whole. In principle, a line it amounted to a whole ', and a broken no, if the lines were more' of a combination could be different.
Four thousand years ago, the shamans of the Shang dynasty practiced 'piromanzia', the god of fire, hot rod by applying a tortoise shells or animal bones that are warped and fissures. The shaman, in light trance, reading these slits as the pattern of energies and gave the response. Often the sentence was recorded on the same turtle shell or bones, some of them came up to us as the most 'ancient examples of Chinese writing.
(female lines were considered the broken furniture and broken down = 6 = 8, the entire male line down the entire mobile = 7 = 9)
Since 'there are turtles that live one hundred years, the turtle was taken as a symbol of eternity' universe. The Indian myths say the world rests on the back of a huge turtle.
FU HSI create 'a subdivision of the space which is' even division of the sky, soul, character, etc.. Based on sacred numbers, 2, 6, 12, numbers that represent the metaphysical Being.
symbolic division of space speaks in a visible world but is related to a reality 'invisible.
I Ching means "I Changes." The I Ching and 'thus an ancient Chinese oracle of 5000 years. It 's not just a text of divination, that is' good to see the future, even if, in the preface to the 1924 version of Richard Wilhelm,
Being and' made of moments, if I want to understand the meaning of life I have to leave by 'moment. I have made countless changes, everyone is' different. And nothing 'but it all becomes, everything changes. At all times I am different. My mental continuum and 'a sum of geometric moments, or a succession of changes. Chinese thought is based on this principle. Looking at the changes, the paper is separated by time and behind it contemplates the eternal and immutable law, and that ' Tao, that 'the universal sense of Being.
For 'this cosmic principle is realized, it should be the main girder, Tai Chi. Before the beginning of the world there is' something of which we know nothing, Being ahead of time and space, the first divine principle of creation. And it 'represented by an empty circle, creation happens when they come into action the two driving forces of the world, the yin and yang.
the created world is' represented by a circle no more 'blank but separate into two polarities', tai chi, the one polarized in all existing pairs: male-female, light and shadow, hot and cold, etc.. In their meaning
original yin indicates the dark, the sky, yang means "flags waving in the sun", then what is clear and bright. More 'Later the two words pointed to the two sides of a mountain, north and south, in light and shadow, that' two ground states of being and alternative manifesto.
life as you transition from one to another, so 'as the time and' time of day or night, from summer to winter, heat and cold and vice versa. Life manifests itself as a transition from one state to the other side.
theory and principles of the two 'very old, there is' already' track in a calendar III sec. BC, and was already 'used by the soothsayers in the 5th century. BC
We live in the moment. The oracle helps to understand the meaning of the here and now, and that 'Being one of the many temporary positions. The I Ching helps to understand each other better, to reflect on themselves in deeper, beyond what the mind believes.
The Book of Changes does not provide exactly the future, even if sometimes it does, but it helps to communicate with the unconscious. For this and 'a meditation technique refined, evolved, or wise for intellectuals. All material events
land is the consideration of events in the subtle world of energy. The intuition of the test can ' gain access' to change his behavior for the better later.
Each hexagram and 'connected to a sentence that says what it' the current situation in terms of energy and what should be done to improve it.
The I Ching and 'regarded as a sacred text that should be used ritually, must be kept in a wooden box wrapped in red silk, must be consulted with the face turned to the north, because' and 'so' that opens the receipt of subtle energies, should not be consulted if you and 'ill or if there is' a storm.
From the first Confucian school today, the essays have been working on the comment of these hexagrams.
Confucius lived between 551 and 479 BC, took public office, then was an itinerant scholar and at the end of his life teaching 'the classics of the past as the best way to resume the old ideals. It was probably an agnostic, values' lot status, large family headed by the emperor, the hierarchical structure, social conventions, he was strongly conservative, so to be accused of excessive formalism.
it was not a reformer 'an innovator, but army' an enormous influence on civilization 'Chinese way' that the temples were built and the park was an official cult that hard 'to the early years of the republic.
The Confucian doctrine has dominated for 2,000 years, the ethical life, and China's religious policy, prescribing the rituals of the imperial house, the cult of the ancestors, the code of conduct for public officials and the king and private code of family life. Over time, even for the influence of Buddhism, Confucianism underwent 'new interpretations. As in life
Confucius and his disciples had not had almost unknown, after his death by 'the legend by becoming a great scholar with 5000 disciples revered by all.
In the 4th century. his thought was systematized by Mencius in the period of the Hundred Schools. Elaborate Mencius 'teaching of Confucius on Jen (goodness' of the heart) on the social and moral values. He argued that human nature 'basically good but to become more' needed a process of self-criticism and self-realization.
Between 300 and 200 BC Hsun-tzu declare 'contrary to human nature and' bad and need rituals and education.
Around 200 BC Confucianism 'of a cosmology and metaphysics, which are annexed to the Book of Changes, the duality of yin and yang is complete' with 5 elements: water, fire, wood, metal, earth, aimed at Tao. This conception
servants' to justify philosophically the empire, bureaucracy, meritocracy.
supported by the public authority, Confucianism became the state religion. And, since ' Buddhism arrived in the meantime, for 'to be a thought that summarized all the guidelines.
Around 1100 the school of reason to Chu Hsi, the more 'great Confucian philosophers, distinguished: Law (li), Matter (chi') and form (hsing).
The law exists over the shape, and is' the source of all things. The matter is in the form and e 'the means by which things are created. Men and things receive their birth from the law that 'the nature of what their' I am, and the matter from 'them some shape. Are Matter and 'bad, we bad.
There are similarities with the material causes, efficient, formal and final of Aristotle, but while Aristotle's science, Chu Hsi's exhortation to read the principles of the world leads to the principles of social coexistence and better, to discover "them" good governance.
commentaries of Chu Hsi remained the official texts for the examination of candidates until 1908.
The canonical books of Confucius are 6: The I Ching, The Book of Poetry, the Book of History, the Book of Rites, the Book of the music, and the Annals.
Confucianism was a strict and moralistic doctrine against which poses Taoism. But as Lao-tzu Confucius meditate at length on I Ching and many aphorisms of Lao-tzu he drew inspiration.
The Book of Changes come to us, 'commented that the school Confucian, in which the 64 hexagrams form a moral canon.
The sentences of the commentary to the hexagrams are symbolic and distant in time, addressed to the Chinese sage Confucius' time, which uses ancient symbols of the unconscious. It speaks of a noble man who wants to remain so.
There are similarities between the 8 signs of the I Ching and the 8 characters of Chinese writing.
Remember that one in four people in the world speaks Chinese. China and 'a huge continent where the official language' in Mandarin Chinese, but there are 'dialects 750 variances, in which the same words have different pronunciations. Writing and 'a major factor of cohesion in China. The literature uses a written language and that 'remained unchanged for two thousand years. The language spoken is instead 'changed over time and in places, producing many different languages.
The Chinese writing system does not indicate the word through sound (phoneme) but shows the direction that is graphically 'proceeds by ideograms. Eg. man and 'indicated by two commas, together with the amount' (the legs) on a flat line (the earth). It 's not an ideographic system, but alphabetically. The characters are stylized representation of the object but above all they are relational, that 'represent actions, relations between actions, action and relationships between things.
(for a more 'comprehensive laws
http://http://spazioinwind.libero.it/popoli_antichi/Cinesi/scrittura.html )
The symbols are simple or compound. The symbols are simple imitation (pictograms), those compounds are logical aggregates (sum of more 'simple characters). Then there are special signs for abstract concepts. These signs are written from bottom to top, so a Chinese newspaper and 'made up of many vertical lines of text that are read from the bottom. It becomes difficult to make a typewriter or a computer keyboard in these conditions. In practice most 'a person' Read more 'familiar characters.
The Chinese language 'consists of one syllable, every word, and' consists of a single syllable invariable. These monosyllables can be modular in 4 tones different. (In ancient dialect were even 8). In the language spoken monosyllables are aggregated with various shades'. These vary from place to place, while not present in writing, so 'the case that two Chinese can not understand at all if they speak, but understand if they write. So the Chinese writing is not 'very practical, however,' is a very important factor of national cohesion.
Currently, the standard spoken language and 'the Beijing dialect, but not all speak it. In 1958 a project was approved by the Latin alphabet of 26 letters.
The comparative study of ancient cultures show different affinity 'between the East and the old West, but' after the 6th century. a. C., the way China and the West were separated, the first rest 'revolt interiority' and morality, the second dimmer switch 'to control nature and therefore science.
Today in the West there 'was a return to the values \u200b\u200bof interiority' intrapsychic and reflection. After many divisions we try again a common connective tissue and have an interest in the cultures of the soul, to find ourselves in humanity 'similar in time and space. The western educated man begins to leave the segregation of national cultures and to seek universal bond.
Back to the Yellow Emperor.
On 8-way Fundamental space FU HSI builds a symbolic family: the North and 'father's house, the one who does, and the South that of the mother, one who received. The other points will be 6 children. Eldest son, intermediate and minor daughter, intermediate and minor. We have a family of 8 persons, father, mother, three sons and three daughters. The eight directions of space 8 characters become a Family Celeste, a symbolic family. Each member represents a character, psychological, a way of being. The father and
'Heaven, strength and creation.
The mother, the Earth, receptivity 'and devotion.
On 1 Son = the exciting Thunder, the movement towards new things (pulse that moves and shakes).
The 2nd Son = Water abysmal and dangerous (unstable place where we can not support).
The 3rd son = and 'the Monte stable, the rest (the point of peace).
The Daughter = 1, wind or wood, something mild, easy to penetrate (such as wood, however, that 'grows and adapts to all).
The 2nd daughter = and 'the bright and blazing fire. The 3rd child =
Lake peaceful and relaxing. In these temperaments appear
the 5 key elements of the Chinese cosmos: earth, water, air, wood and fire.
The land is equivalent to the wood. It also cites the metal, indicating a man who is between the visible and invisible. Even the man in alchemy metal indicates the sublimation of matter and spirit. In ancient cosmologies often the creator god and 'a blacksmith in the crucible in the fire fuses the metal to make magical weapons and divine. Man-metal and 'the man who turns. It talks about the chemistry of the material that gets rid of their waste through the fire and brings out the essence of the base.
The double solid line and 'the Father, the Sun, Heaven, the key feature that gives the seed of life.
The double broken line and 'Mother, the Moon, the absence of light that absorbs sunlight, drew her to him' so 'like attracts' the tides and so on. And' the receptive element, the place where you plow and sow and reap. The I Ching
always pushing to overcome market position. And not 'never to a point but always at a point of departure. Nothing 'stable and fixed. Indeed there is' an image of the I Ching that is' stagnation 'which says: "Are you okay, you're so well that the risk of dying in yourself."
Back to the Chinese history. Around 1150 a. C. the situation in China was greatly disrupted by the presence of feudal lords who behaved with arrogance and arbitrariness against the Shang Dynasty declining. The Chinese Empire was like the Roman Empire before its dissolution.
lived a king at that time very Wen said it was good that the right was a small feudal lord of the province of CHOU, very popular, I try 'to counter the powerful but was defeated by a tyrant and jailed for 40 years. In prison he began to study the old table and comment on the Fu Hsi hexagrams. When he was released and gave rise to the dynasty of Chou.
40 years after his son, the Duke of CHU, discover 'fees and there was a brother', completing the work, added to the explanation of each hexagram and built '384 judgments. The text within its 'so important in Chinese culture and enrich' school then commentaries attributed to Confucius and other sages.
Since then the fortunes of the book and not-oracle ' never waned.
When Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi who built 'the Great Wall, in 213 BC decided to throw at the stake throughout the ancient literature, to control the minds of the people, and to bury alive the literary ideas that differ from their own, so to protect the power of the Qin dynasty, were saved only the classic question of divination, medicine and agriculture, and unless' the I Ching.
The Republic of China has adhered to.
The comments of the I Ching are practical and ethical. Wilhelm notes that some of them coincide with Christian principles.
Tradition has it that Confucius in old age 'he said: "If I could have more years to devote to studies, put them in the examination of the I Ching because 'it and' an infinite source of wisdom. " So we have 8 symbols
fundamental, derived from eight directions of space, indicate that 8 members of a family 8 symbolic and temperaments. The
4 is the visible man (legs and arms), another 4 represents the four functions of the invisible man. 8 gives us 'the totality' of the whole man. The I CHING
once again the number eight. Notice how the Chinese writing is composed of eight fundamental signs combined. One word 'consists of all 8 of these signs taken together, and this word means Lord. Teachers use it as the first graphic, and when the student has learned to draw well, he learned to track all the marks he needs.
The three I Ching coins are thrown in a quiet situation, with the empty mind of all thoughts, in a moment of meditation. Man has to stop for a moment of thinking and surrender to the rhythm of his breath, and that 'a rhythm track, which is also formed by two moments of yin and yang: inhalation and exhalation. To get to our If 'we must strip ourselves of surcoats cultural and return to the simple power of the breath. Breathing Meditation puts us in harmony with the breath of the universe. Through meditation we can bring into the world and give what the Universe ' who we are. When we breathe we draw a broken line. When we breathe out a whole line. In the two times the current of thought is interrupted. This must be the state of one who throws the coins.
is from 'a value to both sides of the coin will be worth a' 2, the other 3.
You pull on the table the three coins.
Summing up the three values \u200b\u200bwe have a 6 or 7 or 8 or 9. You write in the column sums from the bottom up to six times (6 shots) and drawing the corresponding lines.
-x-6 = 6 and 9 are mobile lines, ie 'turn into their opposites, giving rise to a second hexagram.
lines unstable prelude to change.

Two solid lines = the sun, electricity, 'the essence. Two broken
= moon, magnetism, the particular. Other positions
give stars or planets, because 'the planets are not visible and the stars are much, ranging from maximum light, the sun, the maximum shadow.

64 hexagrams show the totality 'of the Lord, according to 64 ways in which things may become, 64 symbolic structures, or prototypes, such as the nature of the psyche, where you can' be everything 'that becomes. In particular, figures 64 human psychic, each with its own problem with the council.
why the book 'consists of 64 chapters, each ruled by a sign or hexagram.
arrives in Europe in 1923 the translation of Richard Wilhelm. Jung reads this, knows that Wilhelm from 'other teachings and studies for 30 years, found confirmation of its principle of synchronicity'. When you put your preface to the book by Wilhelm, Jung 80.
According to the I Ching and Chinese philosophy, whatever happens at a certain time has the quality 'of that particular moment. A sip of wine will say 'that year and the sommelier' that wine, where he was the vineyard, which had the quality 'of the land. An astrologer according to one hour of birth will say 'were located as the planets and luminaries and influence have on the unborn child.
Things are together. So 'a hexagram drawn in an instant has all the information about that moment. It 'a mirror of the universe and man united universe. The hexagram and 'indicator of the overall situation. Chinese thought has a unified vision of the cosmos, the event includes the observer in the microphysical totality 'of the momentary situation.
the I Ching gives us' 64 type situations. Psychic situations 64 and 64 tips on how to behave. And is' confident that the coins fall exactly as they should fall, corresponding to the mood of the consultant, since 'every thing' as it should be.
We use numbers as a measure of things, but they were symbols for the ancient order of the world, every culture and a preference for particular numbers. The use of metaphysical number makes it a sacred figure, sensed in a non-dimensional level, through the collective unconscious. The ancient Chinese used the 64 digit number as the order of the cosmic and psychic, that bring together soul and nature.

The Chinese believe that spirits speak through this book, for which it is 'alive,' considered a living being. If you consulted with seriousness' and faith, 'intelligent answers, but can not' be consulted so silly. The Chinese sage
queries its CHING I just get up every morning and takes it very seriously as an aid to its moral choices. Can 'be that the I Ching does not respond directly to a question, perhaps intended to shift our attention to something that we could be more' important. It is not always the man knows what he needs. Sometimes he sets up details that disappear or change over time. The book wants us to know ourselves. He urges us to look carefully our character. We must look at the response so 'like a dream, and it' more ' close to the unconscious and its symbols to our rational side, and 'a universal communication Unconscious, who never speaks in clear terms but' suggestive calls us to a more research about 'our inner' that outside world.
the I Ching does not predict future events in general, but this shows exactly the same situation as if it came in the unconscious is much more 'deeply of the application.

The basic principle of the I Ching and 'things that are visible in relation to those unseen, and there' a perfect match between the configuration of the soul and the way the coins fall and the stems are extracted. The semantics if there is' faith in the analogy between inside and outside, between material and immaterial. The whole system and 'ruled by synchronicity'. The invisible world of the soul and also the unknown future can be represented by the launch of fate, 'cause there is no' difference between inside and out, and the future is generated in the present, the two polarities' express the same sense, related and represent the same breath of being.
soul and nature are synchronic, ie, 'and that' the soul can 'be seen in nature and vice versa, as the same message that occurs on parallel streets. But being and 'forever and a global economy. This' to basis of everything, and 'the fundamental principle of the Tao as alchemy.
Since 'everything matches, the order that man finds in his soul may' also be the world order and the order of nature can 'reflect the order of the soul.

The I Ching and 'an ordered structure, that' a space division, a subdivision of the sky, the psyche, of temperament, of the society ', of religion, according to sacred numbers, 2 and 3, and the numbers derived 6 (2 × 3), 12 (2 × 6), 64 (two in the sixth), who collect orders in the metaphysical and symbolic universe visible and invisible. Like Pythagoras, the number and 'figure the universe, order and destination.
The more I Ching 'oracle and that a' one way that should put his soul in harmony with the sense of things and help us understand the direction of our movement by movement of the universe.
Being and 'made of moments, if I want to understand the meaning of life I have to refer back instantly, and the instant' point of change, and each 'formed by endless change, all different and all connected. This concept 'this much in Taoism that in Buddhism. Impermanence, the cornerstone of Buddhism, and 'the perpetual flow of life through continuous changes in the extreme wisdom and 'see clearly that nothing' learning. And nothing ', but everything becomes, everything changes. At all times I am different and the world and 'different. My mental continuum and 'a sum of geometric space-time moments, a sum of changes. The Chinese sage is detached from these changes and provides behind them the eternal and immutable law, and that 'the Tao, the eternal sense of Being, which does not move and does not become and nothing of which you can' say, and of which you can 'even pronounce the name, "' cause I call the Tao Tao and 'the Tao."
We live in the moment, instant transition between two modes of being. The wisdom of the I Ching there helps to understand the meaning of this moment, precarious and impermanent, and that 'one of the many positions of movement of Being, as a soul within us, around us as nature. The book
oracle-help us understand who we are, to reflect on ourselves deep inside, beyond that which separates the mind and looking at what the mind to ignore a more 'big.
Sometimes I Ching predicts the future but it is not 'just that his task as communicating with the unconscious to show what' it suggests that intuition. More 'intuition knows the symbols, more' I Ching helps to grow, more 'intuition and' opaque and material, more 'response and' arduous and difficult to understand. For some, the book is' a great comfort to others and 'bizarre and incomprehensible, and' highly regarded by the spirits who are on a path of soul searching, but is useless for those who live only in the surface of the facts and asks for answers practical or comfortable.
The text shows the union of the natural world with the soul, but to understand it must have already 'experienced this union within themselves'. All events
land are the subtle play of events, in the analogy that exists between land and sky, between low and high. The intuition of the test can 'access in accordance with the movement so subtle and manifest 'to be included in the choices with greater self-awareness.

The consultant should have access to the book as a sacred object, putting themselves in a particular state of mind, with a slight modification of consciousness, and only then can 'make a claim but can' not be the right question. The consultant launches the tide, so 'to be projected out of his' power of his soul and make it visible. The launch decides the lines, they create the hexagram. The hexagram leads us to a sentence in verse, which shows what it should do.
Man lives in the temporality 'and insecurity' but the I Ching connects it to the most 'profound of life, so unconscious that inhabits a land without a space or' time where there are all the space and all time.
The ancient ritual requires that the text is used as a ritual: available towards the North, as did Fu Hsi, and taking the book wrapped in red silk, 'cause the red, and China' sacred color, storing it in a box wood, 'cause the wood and' the element of adaptability 'and indicates the possibility' of the soul to adapt to change. Consultation requires a deep meditation and a condition of care and respect, 'cause just by changing its state of consciousness you can 'enter the symbolic meaning, providing only their brainwaves to a higher level you can' combine implicit and obvious. The ritual and the change of consciousness are what 'that allows the unification of soul and nature, nothing else happens, the words remain empty soul does not learn.
As in any ritual, the subject and 'just a channel, but only if the communication is what we tune' and that 'what in us' and that' out of us, the I Ching will say 'nothing' s soul of the consultant is not 'connected to the soul of the world. The man will have
trivial 'trivial answers, the essay will have' wise answers. Basically what always receive from the world 'that we send, do things in haste and' how not to do anything. The only possible transformation is not 'the bundling of goods or data, but the inner change and that' slow and subtle and takes time and patience, it can not be bought and sold, but the long and 'the only thing that counts. The meaning of life lies in the way we place ourselves in relation to life. The relationship with others or with things lies in the way we place ourselves in relation to others and property. It 's not the life out of us that transforms us, and' life within us that transforms what 'and that' out of us. But, of course, who does not understands this will remain 'always at a lower level of knowledge and can not' use the I Ching.

The symbols that are linked to the I Ching speaks in sentences that look like verses. The rulings create an image similar to that of dreams or watercolors, the duck that crosses the lake, the tree that grows on the mountain ... and the image 'as the vision of the dream, he speaks more than words, announces the invisibility 'soul. The
and become 'the law of life. And not 'never to a point but never more than a starting point, it says you can' and should not stand still. When Jung
wonder 'the I Ching, came out 'the hexagram of the crucible, that' he meant that he was at the beginning of a great inner transformation that will take place 'in the studies of alchemy, the crucible and' the image of the alchemical change. E 'is similar to the cauldron or pot of a Celtic god, the god Dagda good. Dagda and 'huge, very tall and strong, with seven black capes, like the Druids, a symbol of the seven layers of being. The symbols that brings with it 'are the club and the cauldron, the first male, phallic, and the other female lead. They represent the two polarities' energy, such as yin and yang. The club and 'double, from' life and away from 'death, but is resuscitated, and' therefore the archetype of life \\ death or death \\ resurrection. The cauldron and 'the witches' cauldron, the means to build magic potions, alchemic the place where the energies are blended together to create new powers. In a broad sense is our unconscious, where we have operations on ourselves. The size of the alchemical crucible and 'the cavity', where the ferrous material is heated and melted, so 'that its components are separated, the waste can be identified and removed and the pure metal can' emerge. Alchemy is not 'only metal mining, in a symbolic sense and' research that turns iron into gold, a metaphor Life as a transformative path in which the soul gradually eliminates its waste and is purified in a gradual ascent towards the light.
Jung ends well 'his preface:
"The I CHING
come forward with proofs and results ... almost like a part of nature, waiting to be discovered. It does not offer 'made it' power, but for those who wish to know themselves and for those who love wisdom seems to be the right book. For one person its spirit appears as clear as daylight, to another, as vague as the twilight, a third dark as night. Who does not find its taste is not 'required to use it, and who opposes it is not' obliged to accept for real. Go to this book in the world for the benefit of those who know understand the meaning
