Jung valued the I Ching as a method of exploring the unconscious involving the principle of synchronicity [as opposed to causality]. Jung’s “researches into the psychology of the unconscious processes long ago compelled [him] to look around for another principle of explanation, since the causality principle seemed . . . insufficient to explain certain remarkable manifestations of the unconscious.” Dennis Merritt has made use of the I Ching with his analysands for nearly forty years. He will present a case study of a man who had a series of dreams in which hexagrams that appeared in his dreams informed the structure of the analytic work.
