In The I Ching Tree of Life, I propose a disciplined bridge between two classic languages of meaning. I begin with YHVH as a fourfold formula—a quaternity that structures creation in Kabbalah and clarifies the movement from emanation to embodiment. From there, I add a second layer: the Bagua as an inner “family,” and a third layer through a precise working matrix—32 paths and 64 hexagrams—organized so that correspondences can be tested in practice rather than assumed.

This book is conservative in spirit—respectful of sources and traditional categories—yet innovative in method. It is designed to function in three concrete ways:

• As a study map: to read both systems as one symbolic architecture. • As an oracular framework: integrating I Ching consultation with Tarot (Kabbalistic and Marseille) and the Tree of Life. • As a workable method: I include a 16-card consultation technique that preserves the logic of the ancient yarrow-stalk method while remaining practical and repeatable, along with tables that allow fast cross- referencing between trigrams, worlds, paths, and hexagrams. A final section explores time-structures inspired by Terence McKenna, including an I Ching “cosmic clock,” for readers interested in symbolic temporality. A final appendix in Mandarin Chinese is included for Chinese readers who want to try this ancient method instead of the three-coin method.

四色牌(或四种颜色筹码)法:用16张牌按四种颜色分组(1张=老阴6，3张=老阳9，5张=少阳7，7张=少阴 8)，每次不看随机抽取一张并放回，重复六次自下而上成卦。

它与古法蓍草占的相似性在于:其1/16、3/16、5/16、7/16的概率分布与五十蓍草法一致，因此“变爻/静爻”的统计权重与古法同构，只是把繁复的计数操作压缩为更便携的抽取动作。

“The veracity of this system does not rest on the authority of the author; its criterion is the reader’s experience.”

Whether you come as a newcomer or an experienced practitioner, the invitation is the same: study, test, and see what holds.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.?

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
