The I Ching can give us answers that few, if any, friends, counselors, or advisors can know.
Unlike a religious text, it doesn't discount The Bible, Torah, Koran, Bhagavad Gita. Rather, this book of wisdom was developed by philosopher/scholars of ancient China.
Initially intended as a philosophical, political text, as was the Chinese Art of War, it contains thousands of years of wisdom.
But for centuries, it began to be consulted for personal problems, as well as by sages and great leaders for its political wisdom.
To see an example of an I Ching hexagram, the July 2014 issue of Harper's magazine contained a brief hauntingly accurate explication, titled "Mini-Ching," of a few of the hexagrams.
Psychologist Carl Jung spoke of how accurately the I Ching's synchronicity reaches the deepest level of a problem: accessing inner answers and solutions related to the moment the problem occurs.
If you have had long-standing personal or political tensions, the hexagram "Deliverance" explains how close you may be to resolving them. It helps to review times in our lives when we have been delivered from difficult situations and whether it was unexpected, almost miraculous, or carefully planned. Another hexagram "Revolution" has predicted, as well as depicted, wars and internal struggles.
