Robert G. Benson has spent ten years assimilating
his more than thirty years of experience with the I Ching
into a practical guide to using the I Ching and in understanding
the philosophy that has emerged from its 2000-year history.
He explains that the I Ching was never designed to give specific
outcomes for an ad hoc inquiry but gives the possible and/or
impossible probabilities in regard to the situation. He also
admonishes the practitioner that, just as in quantum physics,
the attitude and expectations of the inquirer will affect
the outcome. The text is complemented with easily understood
diagrams. The I Ching definitions are written in language
relevant to the Western reader, and the hexagram lookup charts
are broken down into clearly defined orders and interconnections.
