Hexagrams in the Process of Change.



Order any number on the Chinese menu 1 - 64.


That's quite a few hexagrams, but Wang Pi has put them all into a nice arrangement for you. He did this in 246 A.D. , and called it "The Map of Life", but you may not have seen this before {unless you've downloaded 'The I Ching The Book of Chance and Change' from my website http://www.taoiching.com/} . Infact the few who have seen it couldn't make much sense of it, unless they had the key. That 'key' is of course energy.

That's a lot of hexagrams, but you needn't get confused because you'll only select one at a time. The HEXAGRAM is a strange symbol, packed with information. It looks like a simple diagram of six lines, but it is quite dynamic and has the potential to change. The hexagram has a meaning which you can consult in The I Ching, but if you looked into The TAO I CHING you would also see that it is a state of awareness - to live in, to reflect on, and to use. It is your life right now, or an aspect of it, or a pressing question you have, presented to you in an 'energy picture'. The piece of energy you have chosen reflects and changes, as though it had a life of its' own. All of this energy is moving and changing all the time. As soon as you form a question, and select a hexagram, you actually take part in this process of change. Through regular use, or whenever you have a question, the hexagrams of The Tao I Ching will change your energy (if you want to), and strangest of all, you will notice a lightness, or ease, in your mental state (of awareness), as it guides you towards a sense of harmony and inner peace. The rest is history.
