    About this ebook

    Master of modern occultism, Lon Milo DuQuette, (author of Enochian Vision Magick and The Magick of Aleister Crowley) introduces the newest Weiser Books Collection—The Magical Antiquarian Curiosity Shoppe. Culled from material long unavailable to the general public, DuQuette curates this essential new digital library with the eye of a scholar and the insight of an initiate.

    A highly personal, mildly vulgar, and not-at-all scholarly rendering of one of the world's oldest and most revered oracle. A seriously funny (and profound accurate) divination tool. Go ahead... ask a question.

      It's a light and fun way to get a taste of I Ching, an amazing ancient Chinese Oracle that's at the base of all Chinese culture and thought.
      If you like it, do get a ""proper"" translation like Richard Wilhelm..
      Enjoy :)

    I-Ching of Mi Lo - Lon Milo DuQuette

    INTRODUCTION

    I've heard it said that the opposite of a truth is a falsehood, but that the opposite of a Great Truth is another Great Truth. Near the top of my list of Great Truths is the one that simply states that something "either is or it isn't." Let's face it. It doesn't matter what the odds are against me winning the California lottery. If I buy a ticket, I'm either going to win or I'm going to lose.

    Above the abyss that Qabalists tell us divides the actual universe from its ideal source broods an infinitely smooth environment of consciousness wherein all opposites are reconciled. There, in the transcendent playground of the Buddha and the Avatar, a thing is true only inasmuch as it contains within itself its own contradiction.

    But down here in the brickyard of the phenomenal universe, things aren't so smooth. As a matter of fact, the whole shebang appears to be held together by the vibration caused by two very big bumps in the road—bumps that cause every element of mind and matter to be splashed against a canvas of polarity——on-off, light-dark, I-you, up-down, in-out, right-left, frontback, high-low, yes-no.

    It's a sad commentary, but most of humanity functions as if there were only two aspects to this polarity thing—good-evil, god-devil, right-wrong, laughcry, sin-virtue, life-death, profit-loss, pleasure-pain, war-peace, mercycruelty. They ignore (or refuse to examine) the sublime secret hidden inside every hyphenated opposite—the secret of the hyphen itself. The mystery is easily revealed if we simply replace the hyphen with the words changing to.

    Now we have: on changing to off; light changing to dark; up changing to down; good changing to evil; profit changing to loss; pleasure changing to pain, life changing to death, mercy changing to cruelty. This is the change in the Book of Changes—the I Ching (see chapter 13). This movement is the source, the wisdom, the intelligence underlying all divinatory systems, and it manifests most perfectly in the Oracle of Ko-Ween.

    The ceremony for consulting the Oracle of Ko-Ween is simplicity itself. After doing whatever you need to do to put yourself in a quiet and focused state of mind, compose your question in such a way that it can be answered with a yes or a no. Then approach the throne of the Superior Intelligence of your choice, ask your question aloud, and flip a coin (Ko-Ween). You will receive an answer that is accurate 100 percent of the time. The difficulty of interpretation arises from the fact that the polaric pulse of the universe is sometimes toggled one way to make heads mean yes and sometimes toggled the other way to make heads mean no. You have to figure out the direction of the toggle.

    Hey . . . did I say it was going to be easy?

    The I Ching

    Nothing endures but change.

    —Heraclitus

    THE first time I consulted the I Ching, I followed the complex directions of the traditional Chinese yarrow-stalk method (clumsily manipulating forty-nine lengths of tiny wooden doweling instead of the traditional yarrow stalks). My first question was, I Ching, what are you to me? After the brief traditional ceremony and about a half hour of fumbling with the sticks, I received my answer. I looked it up in my John Blofeld edition.¹

    Question: I Ching, what are you to me?

    Answer: Hexagram #14 Great Possessions

    He who possesses much—supreme success!

    Time seemed to stop when I read those words. I no longer felt alone in the room. The atmosphere around me
