what analogy ?
is it really 'analogy' you mean ?
Well, the thing is that for the past year i have been doing some research regarding My communication with i ching, with help of a computer and My birthday i was receiving one i ching number for each day and i was astonished to find out that only twelve of the numbers were repeating itself more than one time and some of these 64 hexagrams were never occuring, so i started to wonder, how to activate the other numbers and if one uses the perspective of nanoscience and the similarities between the structure of My DNA corresponding to the lines of the I- ching, then it would oppen a world of possibilities not just for me but for anyone who would be interested in this, in pursuing the links between the science and spirituality and trying to find the bridge between.
Agreed. A binary system is a fundamental concept that merely means "something and its opposite": up/down, yes/no, on/off, hot/cold, yin/yang. The fact that ancient civilizations sometimes paired things that are opposites, even in systematic ways such as the I Ching, does not mean they understood the concept of computers or DNA etc. I read the review of Compton's book at biroco.com that Svenrus linked to, and I agree with it.It's just a pointless connection.
[...]
[The I Ching] does exhibit some properties of binary systems. Others came along later
Well, of course, we don't know that some of this isn't true. It might be. But at the very least, we're a LONG way from practical application and standardized, commonly available medical treatments, and in the meantime doesn't it serve mostly to make people with illnesses feel yelled at? The language in that article is horrible imo.

They say they have studies to prove these things. That's fine, but I'd love to see independent corroboration, and to have the studies vetted by qualified statisticians. We hear all the time about mainstream medical research that is badly flawed statistically, and without proper experimental design, there is little hope of trustworthy conclusions, regardless of the underlying truth. [Edited to add: My understanding is that proper experimental design is complicated and often difficult to achieve under real world constraints. That helps to explain why we get studies that contradict each other and so forth.]
I think it at least deserves the credit of legitimate research.
I completely agree that many, many commonplace things were once seen as fantasy or superstition, and the same will be true in the future as well. I tried to acknowledge that in my earlier post, but obviously I drowned that part out. I think the mind-body connection is real, but we're so early in it that it's simply not useful yet in practical ways to most people.
in PTSD, the body-mind connection is valued a lot and seems it has really practical use. Those involved state clear they can't be sure but they try to understand. We don't know basic things about our mind - we don't know yet details about the gray matter and there are indications that the 'inferior' white matter plays a more significant role than it was believed so far. Fascinating stuff !
