Book of Sun and Moon (I Ching) Volume II: Traditional

Book of Sun and Moon (I Ching) Volume II: Traditional Perspectives on Divination and Calculation for the Book of Changes

The books in this two-volume series present the most important tools and information on how to utilize theÂ Book of ChangesÂ (I Ching).Â TheÂ Book of Sun and Moon,Â an alternativeâ€”though accurateâ€”translation for the title of theÂ I Ching,Â is both a book of divination and calculation. Its use in divination means to apply intuition concerning the oracle of the hexagrams (the sixty-four images of broken and unbroken Yin-and-Yang lines). Its ability to calculate and determine possible outcomes for any situation involves examining the logical correlations associated with each of the hexagrams and what images they change into and head toward.
Using theÂ Book of Sun and MoonÂ is like being a detective or tracker. The images are the clues and tracks, and a good detective or tracker needs not only tools of deduction and observation, but also a strong sense of intuition. Hence, theÂ Book of Sun and MoonÂ provides the main tools for both.
Some questions put to theÂ Book of Sun and MoonÂ may only seem to need an understanding of the oracle portion, while others may only seem to require the use of logic and calculation. Without applying both intuition and logic, however, you are only receiving half the picture and limiting the amount of information theÂ Book of Sun and MoonÂ can provide.
Volume I contains background historical information and explanations of theÂ I Chingâ€™sÂ construction and uses for divination and calculation. Volume II contains the translations of the originalÂ Book of Sun and Moon,Â along with specific correlations for the hexagrams and trigrams for interpretation, as well as Stuart Alve Olson's commentaries derived from various Chinese and English sources.
These new editions of theÂ Book of Sun and MoonÂ provide a distinctly Daoist perspective on the work, which sets them apart from the majority of other translations of theÂ I ChingÂ that contain commentaries based on Confucian ideals and philosophy.
