Luis, don't get confused.. Size doesn't matter; but the way you use it. (So I'd heard somewhere)The good news is that the text of the Yi is much smaller than the Torah.
That was my rabbi said to me: "that's a poor alibi for this yijingers" (we are still talking about text; aren't we?)
As with the Bible, many thousands of Yijing scholars have searched for and found
secret codes that are so subtle and intricate that they cannot even be said to exist
except in the minds of these scholars.

IC is a code which unlocks a complex.

I'm not sure you could really compare it, Roman. The Bible was written in languages that use letters to spell words. If you go through those letters in a different order, you can get different words. Since the original languages sometimes didn't use vowels, there is room to interpret which new words you get from rearranging the letters. The I Ching was written in a language that has a symbol for each whole word. If you jumbled the order, you'd just get different sentences using the same words. Also, the I Ching is so much smaller than the Bible and it's already typically used by a randomizing technique to select portions of the text. Overall I don't really see how you could even start to try to use "Bible code" techniques on the Chinese oracle, even if you wanted to. (I also don't see why you'd want to try.)
Thinking outside the box is what led Terrance Mckenna to notice the corelations, or possible corelations, between the I Ching and historic events (Time Wave Zero), planetary precesion cycles, and DNA structure.
You don't see why I would want to try? Well, I would like to try because that would be thinking outside the box. Thinking outside the box is what led Terrance Mckenna to notice the corelations, or possible corelations, between the I Ching and historic events (Time Wave Zero), planetary precesion cycles, and DNA structure.
Well, as a yank over here in the U.S., I wish I ~could~ do what that friendly American slang suggests; put my money where my mouth is, but unfortunately, I don't have the Wilhem translations on my computer, and I don't have the "Bible Codes" program either.
Since you mentioned Terence Mc Kenna and his Escathon theory it may be a good idea to check this link too:http://www.fourmilab.ch/rpkp/autopsy.html.Terence's ideas were certainly groundbreaking and inspiring to many(including me).
