This is a revolutionary approach to the religious truth of our time. In this book the basic frame of reference shifts from ontology to changeology. change takes the ultimate source of being and becoming; it becomes the essence of life and cosmic process.

Lee strives to do an integration of Preston Howard, the I-Ching, and the teachings of Jesus Christ and achieves it. The chapter on "Empathy" is worth many times the price of the book and is well worth wading through the mystical numerology: 2/3 times 3/2 =1 (the equation of ONE) and the "young yin" and "young yang" that I don't understand the meaning of, up until now. It is in this chapter that he pulls together in a grand climax an explanation for how the I-Ching and all other fortune telling schemes work, the essence of Christ's teachings as inner process (versus the external trappings of Christianity), the connection of sympathy with conscious process and empathy with unconscious process and more. The use of random selection process as a method of tapping into the unconscious is a masterful way of explaining how shuffling cards or tossing coins can be useful for obtaining unconscious direction. Lee perceives the unconscious as a great ocean of possibilities that we may sit on the shore of and dip into. We may then examine what we retrieve from it and read the results as indications from our unconscious as to directions and decisions to be made rationally (from the irrational input). (Note: I have developed a method of divination using avocados.) In the Jungian typology, divination by use of coins, cards or entrails represents an irrational input from the sensate domain which may be thought about (the intellect domain) or valued (through the feeling domain). Intuitives perceive directly through the un-rational intuitive domain and thus have no need for the cards, coins, or yarrow sticks. This is my view in this paragraph, not necessarily Lee'

The I Ching and Modern Man: Essays on Metaphysical Implications of Change

LYLE STUART +

Written primarily with Christians in mind, this book attempts to provide a comprehensive interpretation of the classic I Ching (Book of Change) in the postmodern world and a creative reflection on the Christian faith based on various ideas evoked by "change." Embracing change as the essence of existence is difficult for us because we have held the view that change is an attribute of being. According to the I Ching, being is conditioned by process, which is again conditioned by change. Thus, change as the ultimate reality has been the most fundamental assumption that nurtures the patterns of thought and values in East Asian civilization. Today's postmodern phenomena such as plurality, absurdity, and relativity are due to change. Jung Young Lee thus holds that the text of the I Ching must be interpreted by postmodern categories. Because this book primarily addresses those in the Christian tradition, it has special purposes: a comprehensive interpretation of change in postmodernity and an enrichment of the Christian faith. Here, Lee says that the I Ching - unlike an ordinary text - helps us not only to learn about the reality of change in ourselves and in the world but to reflect on something that will concern us ultimately. For Christians, our ultimate concern is the Christian faith. Thus, a spontaneous and unmediated reflection on the Christian faith comes from the evocation of "change." For this reason, Embracing Change is more than a comparative study between the I Ching and Christianity or more than dialogue between them because it is intended for mutual enrichments. For a comprehensive interpretation of change, this book begins with questions people usually ask about the I Ching. Instead of entering into a critique of "what the text is," however, Lee concentrates on what the text and its tradition try to tell us about change. An important chapter in this book deals with the philosophy of change - because the I Ching is simply the book or classic about I or "change," which is the ultimate reality. Change operates through a complementary dualism of yin and yang, a binary movement of growth and decay or expansion and contraction. Lee discusses the symbolizations of change, providing illustrations of broken-unbroken lines, duograms, trigrams, and hexagrams. Divination - because it needs proper background knowledge of change to produce any reliable result - and the postmodern characteristics of change as they relate to contemporary developments in the West (such as quantum physics) are treated toward the end. But perhaps the most valuable reference for the study of the I Ching is the fresh translation of the main text, which appears at the end of this volume. The translation attempts to clarify many ambiguous passages found in other translations.
