"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the
rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors
the servant and has forgotten the gift. “

ABOUT
THE I CHING
-
Carl Jung, Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting
Principle Over the
millennia, the ancient Chinese had observed and documented a finite number of
recurrent patterns of change in what is now known as the Book of Changes, or the I
Ching. The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is considered the
oldest of the Chinese classics and throughout history has been referred to as
a book of fundamental principles and wisdom by philosophers, politicians,
emperors, mystics, and more recently by scientists, mathematicians and
businessmen. The book consists
of 64 chapters, which serve as a catalog of recurrent life patterns and their
interdependencies. Because it is a structure of structures, the design of the
I Ching can generate analytic
systems of potentially infinite complexity and variety and can be applied to
any conceivable realm or situation. |

STIMULATING INTUITION
AND CREATIVITY IN BUSINESS ANALYSIS
AND DECISION MAKING Formal methods of business analysis and
decision making are heavily analytical in nature, while approaches based on
personal intuition and creativity are often ignored. Yet, research indicates that employees with
a dominant analytical side are more likely to end up in staff positions,
while intuitive and creative thinkers generally rise to managerial and executive
roles. Not only does intuition matter, it may be one of the key ingredients
for success. Empirical
studies had demonstrated that the time-tested method of “grasping the
total situation” based on the I Ching
can be very effective in stimulating intuition and creativity by helping
illuminate the intangible and often invisible factors in business analysis
and decision making processes. Business professionals can experience the
following benefits when using the Book
of Changes:

NAVIGATING CHANGE AND
UNCERTAINTY IN DAILY LIFE Change and the
uncertainty about what it brings have been unavoidable aspects of life since
the beginning of time. Despite modern advances in technology, the ability to
navigate change and deal with uncertainty in both professional and personal
lives remains as much an art as it is a science. The time-tested
method of self-reflection and perception of reality based on the I Ching can be very effective in
helping us navigating change and uncertainty in both personal and
professional lives. In fact, the traditional applications of the I Ching
have always been focused on helping people solve life problems, particularly
the ones charged emotionally and where traditional solutions and knowledge
had failed. The I Ching
can be particularly useful in the situations, when a person is gripped by
something beyond the ordinary events of life, which in turn produce strong
emotions such as resistance, reluctance, anxiety, desire, the sense of
something hidden or confusing, the sense of an important opportunity, the
need to connect to one’s inner self and spirit etc. Such situations
indicate a need to see behind or see through the situation and the I Ching
can provide such deeper perspective grounded in the fundamental principles. The ultimate
decision and responsibility, nevertheless, always remain in the hands of the
inquirer. |
