There are changes in its form. These changes imply a passage of time. Without the apparent change there would be no feeling of time.
In other words, "Time = Change".
YEE KING is an oriental manual about change. It is about time, about perception and about perspectives.
In 3-dimensional space we can organise our surrounding, our home, our office to our best advantage. If we stretch our brain a little and add a 4th dimension: time, we can soon see that millions and zillions of 3-dimensional scenes can also be stringed together and arranged in different ways, just like pieces of furniture in a room. Here the room would be what we consider our existence, and the furnitures are in fact our daily life events. They too can be selected and organised in different ways, and for our great benefit if we know how.
As we flip from one page of life to the next, our memory connects all the separate images together and creates the illusion of a passage of time. By shifting our focus and altering our perspective, we can actually choose what the next page will be in our illusive existence. All the possible life scenes are already there , somewhere in the air. Just pick what we want, pull them down and put them through the personal projecting device we call "our eyes", and sit back and enjoy a great ride in our comfy chair !
The best way to know the Yee King is to experience it directly. Here is what you can do:
.
* Find a quiet place. Prepare a receptive mind by thinking about a matter that is of interest to you. The more important it is to you the better result you will get out of this experiment. Write down a question about the matter, as if you are seeking opinion from a friend. (Don't limit your possibilities by asking the yes/no type of questions ).
* Use three coins of the same kind (for example 10 cent pieces). Shake the coins in your hands and let them drop. Record the number of heads that come up for the throw. Cast the coins in this manner six times. The result should look some thing like this: 1,0,2,3,1,0 ,which means 1 head for the 1st throw, no head for the 2nd , 2 heads for the 3rd, and 3 heads for the 4th throw, etc.
* At this point you can either:
1. Obtain a book on Yee King (or I Ching). Follow its instructions and work out how to construct a "hexagram" from the result of your coin throws, then read the comments that go with the relevant hexagram, or
2. Visit the following Internet web site:
There you can download some free software that would assist you in constructing and interpreting the Yee King hexagrams, the symbols of your ever-changing reality.
