The Book of Changes or I Ching is both a divination tool as well as a philosophical work. This video clip offers a very brief account of the divination technique and the meaning of Taichi as defined by I Ching.

Very exiting talk on the i ching, are you planing on doing more about the book of changes? Its such a profound text, i consulted it twice and the answers was so direct. I have studied Carl Jungs work alot, he wrote the foreword to the edition of my I Ching by Richard Wilhelm, he always spoke highly of the text and its importance. Thanks for taking the time to make the wonderful video.

Yes, I am preparing for more videos on the book of changes. I am a philosopher. I will be talking about the philosophical significance of I Ching, maybe also the spiritual impacts it has on Chinese people, definitely its historical development over the five or more thousand years.

Wonderful. Also check out my video about I Ching and Confucius, I think you would like that one, too.

please share your contemplations on alchemy, especially the three primes - sulfur, salt, mercury - as how they correspond with ancient Chinese thought about the nature of reality . wouldn’t that be interesting?! :)

Thank you for the suggestion! I'll look into it. My knowledge on Chinese alchemy is quite limited. But I know the works by a fourth century philosopher/physician Ge Hong would certainly address this topic. I am familiar with his philosophical work but not his alchemy work. You can certainly look into his work if you are interested.

Are you interested in I Ching? Or Taoist philosophy?

@mauricioquintero4657 2 ай бұрын

A taoist student once told me I could be a powerful healer/ shaman if I could only find a teacher. When he was taking my pulse I had a vision. He said I had a strong connection to the spirits

Yes. I am still learning. There is a channel on I Ching by a very nice lady. She explained the topic with much more detail. If you are interested, here is the video explaining I Ching: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZehg9uHvNHKqZc.html

@dr.gaosclassroom 2 ай бұрын

@@sidepriest Yes, it is practiced in all Chinese communities around the world. However, the situation in mainland China is hard to say. On one hand, I Ching has provided a philosophical basis for traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years and constitutes the theoretical foundation of traditional Chinese medicine. And traditional Chinese medicine is promoted by the state. On the other hand, the popular uses of I Ching in Fengshui, healing, and other practical use ares regarded with suspicion by the authority but are used by many people in private.
