Introduction

Are you ready to embark on a journey through time? Mark your calendar now with my innovative book-calendar, Foretell the Future with the I Ching and My Calendar of Days. This enlightening guide aims to help you navigate the complexities of time, providing insight into the past, present, and future, ultimately reducing stress and enhancing your understanding of the days ahead.

Understanding the I Ching

The I Ching, or "Book of Changes," is an ancient Chinese divination text that has guided countless individuals through life's uncertainties. In my book, you will quickly learn about the I Ching and discover how it inspired me to develop a perpetual calendar based on its 64 hexagrams. Each day on "My Calendar of Days" is associated with a specific hexagram, serving as a window into time's ongoing cycle.

A Perpetual Calendar for Insight

The calendar is designed to offer insights into the grand scheme of life, helping you reflect on past experiences, understand present circumstances, and anticipate future events. Whether you're seeking guidance for personal growth, decision-making, or simply wish to enhance your daily life, this calendar can be your companion.

The Importance of Fasting with Hexagram 36

One of my primary focuses with this calendar is knowing when to fast. Hexagram 36 suggests a three-day fast as a form of atonement. During these days, I usually consume raw, fresh fruit juice, which I find enlightening. This practice allows me to cleanse my body, eliminate toxins, and avoid self-inflicted harm caused by poor lifestyle choices, such as excessive alcohol consumption or neglecting meditation and self-care.

Avoiding Self-Crucifixion

Understanding the significance of hexagram 36 also means recognizing the need to avoid undue risks during specific periods. I recommend caution three days before and after these dates, following a bell curve pattern of awareness. This practice helps prevent self-crucifixion, whether it's through poor choices in diet or other harmful habits.

The Creative Connection with Hexagram 1

Hexagram 1, The Creative, symbolizes the profound relationship between humanity and the divine. It serves as a reminder of the creativity and potential within each of us, urging us to embrace our connection with the universe.

Finding Your Path

To begin your journey, locate your birthday on the calendar and study its associated hexagram. This will provide personal insights and help you understand the cyclical nature of events, reinforcing the perpetual nature of the calendar.

Conclusion

Embrace this opportunity to explore the intricate patterns of time with Foretell the Future with the I Ching and My Calendar of Days. By integrating the wisdom of the I Ching into your life, you can navigate the complexities of the past, present, and future with greater ease and understanding.
