Psychic Readings from The
Psychic Internet often feature images drawn from the
I Ching Oracle. To offer supplementary
information about these images for our clients,
and for the public, we have provided this archive
of brief articles.

The
abstract images of the I Ching Oracle (usually
called "hexagrams") symbolize all of
the related and interacting aspects of reality.
In the following excerpts from actual Psychic
Readings, the image of The Creative is discussed.

The Creative
In the
appearance of this image you may celebrate one of
the I Ching Oracle’s most positive
responses. It is always something of a special
event when the image of The Creative appears in a
Reading, and its juxtaposition with the lovely
image of The Gentle in today’s Reading is
especially pleasing.
The image
of The Creative opens the full sequence of
sixty-four images that comprise the I Ching
Oracle in its entirety. It sometimes goes by the
alternate name of “Heaven,” and it
describes the full expression of an element, or a
kind of energy, or a category of thought, if you
will, that the Chinese refer to as
“Yang.” In the philosophical
perspective of the I Ching Oracle, which itself
is the foundation of practically all of
traditional Chinese scientific, religious, and
philosophical life, the Yang element is
complimentary to the “Yin” element,
which is described in the I Ching Oracle through
the image of The Receptive, also called Earth. If
you know anything about modern physics, Yang is
the equivalent of the wave aspect of reality that
is complimentary to the Yin, or particle, aspect
of reality. Science in the 19th
Century, Newtonian science, seemed sometimes to
come at odds with religion, or metaphysics,
because it acknowledged only the particle aspect
of reality, the atoms that supposedly were made
of real stuff – hard, cold, opaque,
impenetrable, inevitable, stuff. In our own time,
after Einstein, scientists have come to
acknowledge that there is also something that is
ineffable, invisible, weightless and massless,
transparent, and essentially inexplicable in the
elemental nature of things. This is the wave, the
ultimate reality that they hope some day to
encompass in the mathematical equations of some
as yet to be devised Grand Unified Wave Theory.
The Chinese simply called it The Creative, and
they viewed it as being something like what we
conceive of as God – that is to say,
something that has a creative power that
initiates the life of all things in the Universe.
This primal effectiveness of Divine Creative
Power is what you may expect to be working with
you to support your every endeavor during the
year 2004. Now that’s a momentous judgment
to receive from the in Ching Oracle, isn’t
it?
