The predominant scientism saturated western sensibility discounts, even demonizes, weighting the meaning of synchronicity. Directly observable cause & effect are privileged as the only means to make relations between events acceptably accessible. The Yi Jing, however, is meant to map connections of a different kind. Often translated as *The Book of Changes*, "Changes" inadequately represents the unpredictability of the events it seeks to relate. Yi arrives when we have lost our bearings, what once was a useful method of orienting ourselves no longer applies. The sensibility that penned this book, this oracle, gleans meaning off random events, items of pure chance; a qualitative notion of time which allows all events occurring in unison to be embedded with information that spans its entirety. Understanding of the pattern can be pulled from any detail of the moment
"The way in which the ocular use of the Yi Jing relates to the configuration of events at any given moment is therefor more akin to the perception of a work of art than to the rational analysis of cause and effect."
In his forward to the translation of the Yi Jing by his friend Richard Wilhelm Jung* Describes the "Chinese mind" as being "exclusively preoccupied with the chance aspects of events", a rich tapestry of meaning interconnected as an organic whole, and in their interest in these subtler more complex less definable connections, "what ewe worship as causality passes almost unnoticed..."
A kaleidoscope of dream images cascading together, pulled though ancient images drawn through shamanic trance, with no a priori interpretation; when time becomes a synthesis of a beginning that never started and an end that never arrives it becomes a mirror of the present with hints at the future. Rolling the words in our heart is the key which accesses the "light of god", weight arises with the affinity that calls to you. Divinatory birth in process
Though certainly a purposeful interference could cause a problem if it knows you're looking.
