Jingchao Zeng in the\u00a0The I Ching as a Potential Jungian Application: History and Practice<\/em><\/a>\u00a0give a introduction to the i Ching and Jung’s interest in it and then describes\u00a0Jung\u2019s three uses of the I Ching – as physical use (to preview future potentials of outer reality), psychological use (to reveal one\u2019s psychological state), and psychical approach (to engage with the divine through spiritual agencies). Clinical material showing the use of the I Ching in analysis is discussed.<\/p>\n

Jung met Richard Wilhelm, the missionary who translated the ancient Daoist text into German, in 1923. However Jung’s interest in the I Ching predated that meeting, In\u00a0Memories Dreams and Reflections<\/em>\u00a0he writes:<\/p>\n

One summer in Bollingen [in 1920] I resolved to make an all-out attack on the riddle of this book. Instead of traditional stalks of yarrow required by the classical method, I cut myself a bunch of reeds.<\/em><\/p>\n

I would sit for hours on the ground beneath the hundred-year-old pear tree, the I Ching beside me, practicing the technique by referring the resultant oracles to one another in an interplay of questions and answers.<\/em><\/p>\n

When Wilhelm published his translation, Jung provided his own extensive commentary. The book was subsequently translated into English by Cary F Baynes.\u00a0The\u00a0full text of The Secret of the Golden Flower<\/a>\u00a0is available at the Internet Archive (PDF<\/a>).\u00a0For more intuitive access to Wilhelm’s text try a\u00a0clickable table of all 64 hexagrams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0well researched article<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Wikipedia features some critical and enlightening comments on the Richard Wilhelm translation, suggesting that the text that Wilhelm translated was a poorly edited digest of\u00a0a fuller text,<\/a>\u00a0and further that Wilhelm misinterpreted key concepts.<\/p>\n

For a different angle on the I Ching and it’s place in Chinese culture\u00a0read this\u00a0very informative article\u00a0<\/a>written by theoretical linguist\u00a0Chenchen (Julio) Song.<\/p>\n

Finally here is an interesting video of\u00a0Murray Stein talking about the connection between\u00a0Jung and Wilhelm<\/a>\u00a0at the launch of a film about Wilhelm’s life – the film is available for purchase on the\u00a0Asheville Jung Center website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
