About the Book

Learn how to be fully present in the ever-changing moment • Explains how to use the oracle for divination, detailing the 64 hexagrams and the esoteric significance of each changing line • Explores key concepts that are culturally embedded in the Chinese understanding of the I Ching to give readers greater confidence in interpreting the oracle’s answers • Teaches readers the way to secure favorable outcomes by properly aligning with each moment of change For millennia people have consulted the I Ching to make sense of life’s challenges. This new translation of the ancient classic teaches readers how to be fully present in the ever-changing moment. With the wisdom of twenty years of contemplation and study, Peter Muller guides readers through the mechanics of using the Oracle. From phrasing one’s questions with intention and integrity to understanding the innerworkings of each of the 64 hexagrams, the author reveals his mastery over the secrets of the I Ching. He explores the esoteric significance of each changing line and gives illustrations from daily life to amplify their meanings for our time and for more complete and accurate readings. From his understanding of the unique role of sage wisdom—where knowledge, listening, and contact with the supernatural and heavenly world collide—Muller empowers readers to work through challenges in a constantly fluid state, securing favorable outcomes by properly aligning with each moment of change. This book also explains the concepts that are culturally embedded in the Chinese understanding of this system of guidance, giving readers greater confidence in their interpretation of how the hexagrams respond to their questions. Integrating the I Ching’s lessons will elevate your inner guidance so that, in time, you become capable of sensing the energetic shifts of each moment and can adapt to them effortlessly. When chaos overtakes order, the I Ching serves as a light to illuminate your way.

About the Author :

He has written many novels and books of spiritual essays and this I Ching, originally written in his native Hungarian, has sold nearly one million copies.

Review :
“Peter Muller’s new version of the I Ching follows in the footsteps of the great commentaries of countless scholars and sages throughout the ages.” “There is no truer test of an I Ching book than to do an oracle with it. Upon review, I found that this version by Peter Muller—offering unique, relevant wisdom—did not disappoint. I always enjoy syncretistic works that show the universality of spirit; to see the bigger picture we need to look through many eyes. I loved the correlations between Christian theology and Taoism that were made throughout the tome as well as the personal experiences that brought the work to life. I highly recommend this edition.”
