In1968,MarieLouisevonFranz,adiscipleofCarlJung,
publishedanessayinananthologyofpsychologyarticles
entitled"SymboldesUnusMundus".Asanasideinheressay

question:"Isthereonlyonespiritwhosemanifestation(=

SoonafterDr.Schonberger'sarticlewaspublished,Fritz

PartThree
Tobegintoanswerthesecrucialquestions,wemustfirstlook
attheoriginsoftheIChing.Therehavebeenhominidswe
wouldrecognizeashumaninChinaforoverfivehundred
thousandyears.Abouteightthousandyearsago,therudiments
ofcivilizationappeared.Afewthousandyearslater,around
3,000BCE,asortofprotoculturedevelopedintheupper

Atthedawnoftime,FuHsi,theprimordialculturebringer
whoinventedthecalendar,writingandtheorganizationof
societyandwhosenameliterallymeansEmbodiedWisdom,
triedtoexplaintheworkingsofI,awordusuallytranslatedas
"change."Todothis,wearetoldintheGreatCommentary
supposedlywrittenbyConfucius,he"observedthe

processesandtheirreflectionsinnatureandthen"went

theeighttrigramsinordertocomprehendthevirtuesof
spiritualbeingsandrepresenttheconditionsofallthingsof
creation."[14]

Inoneversionofthelegend,FuHsiseestheeighttrigrams,or
primalgroupingsofbrokenandunbrokenlines,onthebackof
aturtle,whichgivesusaclueastohowtheoraclewas
originallypracticed.Theeighttrigramsdescribethemajor
conceptsoftheancientChineseecophilosophywhichallrefer
backtothecentralimageoftheI,or,asanearlyChouauthor
definedit,"Change:thatistheunchangeable."Theword
beganasapictogramofthecosmiclizardordragon,and
meantthe"fixed,"orthe"straight,"inthesenseofthecosmic
andunchangingaxisoftheuniverse.Appliedtotheideaof
"time,"theworldaxiscametodenote"change"inorderto
describetheperceivedevolutionofpatternsandrhythms.[15]

Thesepatternswereconceivedasthecolddarkyieldingforces

trigramsHeavenandEarthrepresentYangandYin,whilethe

Thenumber64isunusualinseveralways.Thereare64

Whilethereareotherwaystoorganizethetrigramsand

PartFour
TheIChingistheoldestbookintheworlditsbasicstructure
developedinprehistory.Confucius,inhisGreatCommentary,
creditedtheprehistoricThreeAugustOnesandtheFive
AugustEmperorswithorderingtheworldaccordingtoits
precepts.FromtheChouLi,orBookofChouRitesdating
fromaround1000BCE,welearnthattheBookoftheIwas
onlyoneofthreepropheticordivinatorybooksknowntothe
ancientChinese.TheLiChi,oneoftheFiveClassics,informs
usthatturtleshellswereincommonusageindivinationusing
asystemderivedfromFuHsi'strigrams.Allthatwecanreally
knowofitsoriginsisthatbythe12thcenturyBCE,theoracle
hadtakenitsbasicformof64binaryhexagrams.[19]

Apparently,uptothispoint,norecognizedinterpretationsof
thepatternsexisted.Eachpractitionerwasfreetointerpretthe
patternsofthehexagramsintheirownway.However,around
themiddleofthe12thcenturyBCE,thelateShangdynasty
deposedandimprisonedoneoftheirdependents,KingWen.
Whileinprison,KingWenturnedhisattentiontowriting
descriptions,orjudgments,onthe64hexagrams.Bycareful
useoftheideasrevealedinhisstudy,KingWenwasableto
affecthisreleaseandthereinstatementofhiskingdom.
Perhapsforthisreason,hisjudgmentshaveeversincebeen
seenasdefinitive.

KingWenpassedhisknowledgeontohisson,Tan,thePrince
ofChou,founderoftheChoudynastythateventually
overthrewtheShang.ThePrinceofChouiscreditedwith
havingpassedonthewisdomofhisfatherinhisjudgmentson
thelinesofthe64hexagrams.These384descriptionsforma
unifiedfieldofunderstandingwhereallthreeperspectiveson
theeighttrigramsandtheirsubsequentsequencesof
hexagramscanbeexplored.[20]

Imaginethatabeingfromanadvancedculturegaveyouatoy
designedtobothentertainyouandinstructyouintheworkings
ofourrealitymatrix.Thetoyworkslikethis:atanymoment,
youcanfreezetheflowoftimeintoaverysmallslicewhich
notonlytellsyouthenatureofthemoment,butwhyyou
choseit,theramificationsofhavingchosenit,andthreeother
coordinatesofchangethatcreatethemomentandthechoice.

Essentially,theIChing,thegiftofFuHsi,issuchatoy.Any
meansofrandomselectioncanbeusedcountingyarrow
stalks,tossingcoinsorabinarycomputerprogramtoprovide
thehexagram,whichmarksthequalityofthatmoment.This
hexagramistheninterpretedbyvariousmethodsandthen
relatedtootherhexagramstoprovideaninclusiveandholistic
perspectiveontheevolutionofthatmomentintime.Thevalue
ofsuchknowledge,however,comesfromourabilitytomake
useofit.

Andthis,perhaps,wasthegeniusofKingWen.Inadditionto
writingtheenigmaticjudgments,KingWenalsodesigneda
waytostructurethehexagramsinpairssothattheincrementof

thatelusivequalitythenowortheeverchangingpresent.This
discoveryanimatedthelargerstructuresdescribedbyFuHsi's
trigramssothattimeorchangewasrenderedinteractive.King
Wen'sarrangementbecamethestandardsequenceusedin
mostversionsoftheIChing,andformillenniawasthe
preferredwaytoconsulttheoracle.Itsurvivedbecauseit
worked.ThroughtheKingWenarrangement,itwaspossible
tohaveadialoguewiththisancientsourceofwisdom.

Howthisactuallyworkedwasamysteryuntilrecently.Carl
Jung'sstudyoftheIChingledtohistheoryofsynchronicityas
anacausalconnectingprinciple,buthewasunabletoseehow
theflowofarchetypesformedmeaningfulstructuresinan
acausalmanner.Synchronicitycouldbedefinedasa
psychologicalevent,theprojectionofmeaningontoa
backgroundofrandomness,butJungleftunansweredthe
questionofmeaningitself.Doesthistemporaluniverse
inhabitedbybiologicalentitiestrulyhavea"meaning?"[21]

Perhapsnotameaning,butatleasta"destiny."Oneofthe
commentariesontheIChingattributedtoConfuciustellsus
 that"thefuturelikewisedevelopsinaccordancewiththefixed
laws,accordingtocalculablenumbers...Thisisthethought
onwhichtheBookofChangesisbased."Anotherevenolder
commentaryinformsusthat"countingthatwhichisgoinginto
thepastdependsontheforwardmovement.Knowingthat
whichistocomedependsonthebackwardmovement.Thisis
whytheBookofChangeshasbackwardmovingnumbers."
ClearlytheearlycommentatorsandinterpreterssawtheI
Chingassomethingvastlymoresignificantthanasimple
oracle.[22]

Butwhatexactly?Thisquestionwasansweredbyacoupleof
thecentury'smostbrilliantminds.TheMcKennabrothers,
TerenceandDennis,intheirgroundbreakingworkThe
InvisibleLandscapepostulatedthattheKingWenarrangement
containedjustsuchabackwardandforwardflowingpatternof
numbers,andthatthesenumberscouldbeusedtoconstructan
interfacewithsimilarvitalholons,orholistichierarchies,inthe
organizationofspace/time.

TheMcKennasdemonstratedthisbyoverlayingthe384lines
ofthe64hexagrams(6x64=384)onthe13monthlunar
calendar(13X29.53days=383.89days).Theythenused
thesebasicunitstodevelopatemporallockwiththe
solar/sunspotcycle,theZodiacalAges,andthelengthofthe
GreatYearofprecessionalmotion.Withthesameincrement,
64,theyfounditwaspossibletoassemblea26stepmodelof
space/timefromthesize/ageoftheuniversedowntoPlanck's
Constant.Inthisview,theIChingisafractalmodelofallthat
is,was,orwillbe.Itisalsohologramic,inthatthepiece,theI
Ching,containstheinformationofthewhole,theevolving
universe.

ApplyingthisrealizationtothestructureoftheKingWen
arrangementproducesamodeloftheholonicnatureof
evolution.Ifwethinkofthetimefromtheemergenceoflifeon
earthtotheimmediatefuture,roughly1.3billionyears,asone
incrementandthenbegintodividethatby64,someinteresting
timeperiodsarehighlighted.Ourfirstdivision,one64thof1.3

themid20thcenturyandthelast67+yearsofthecycle.
Accordingtothisview,allofbiologicalandcosmologicaltime
isapproachingapointofconcrescenceinthenearfuture.The
McKennabrotherswentlookingforpossibledatesforthis
concrescenceanddecidedthatthehelicalrisingofthewinter
solsticesunrisein2012matchedtherequirements.Itwould
certainlybeaneventofcosmologicalsignificancethatcould
serveasasymboloftheconcrescenceitself.TheMcKennas
foundthatthisdatealsomatchedthewaveformderivedfrom

theyearofthelastdivision,thebeginningofthelast67+
yearsofbiologicalandgalacticevolutionwhichcompletesthe
vasthexagramoftimewhichbegan72.25billionyearsago.

Alloftheinformation,"novelty"astheMcKennascalledit,
thatwasgeneratedinthecourseofthepreviousbillionsof
yearsfromtheformationoftheearthtothepresentis
compressedandrecapitulatedinthelast67+years.Therefore
wecanapplythesamescaleofdivision,creatinganew
hexagramichierarchy,tothis67+yearperiod.Withinthis
timeperiod,thereare64groupsof384days,whichcover
threemajorandsixminorsunspotcycles.Whenthewavefront

McKennassuggestedthatthisnodemarkedashiftin"novelty"

PartFive
Interestinglyenough,theTaoistalchemistsoftheSung
Dynasty(9601127CE)seemedtounderstandtheconceptof
alchemicaltimeandthetransformativeprocessattheheartof
KingWen'sarrangement.Inacuriousmandalaentitled"The
Cauldron,Furnace,MedicinesandFiringProcess,"theKing
Wensequenceisusedtodescribethealchemicalprocess."The

transformationisnotoutsidethetaoofevolutionofyinand

Thisalchemicalmandala,withitscircleofsixtyhexagrams,is
theinformationallinkbetweeneasternandwesternsystemsof
divinationandmagicalphilosophy.Itsfourouterhexagrams
suggestthepatternoftheKabbalisticcross"Betweenthe

hexagramsrepresentstheunionofthemicrocosm,5the

Boththe60hexagramcycleandthe64hexagramcycleare
relatedtotime.TheancientChinesecalendarwasbasedonthe

Gnosticism'smaintenetscontainbothgoodandevilgods,a
dualismthatisoftentheoppositeofwhatwewouldusually
expect.Therealforcedrivinggnosticphilosophywasits
sophisticatedandexperientialvisionoftheEndoftheWorld.
[28]

Accordingtothegnosticmyth,atthecreationoftheworldthe
spiritofLightwasimprisonedbythepowersofDarkness.
Thislight,theessenceofGod,wastrappedinhumanbodiesas
separatesparksoflight,oursouls.Thegnosticsectsheldthat
thegoaloftheirknowledgewasthepathofreturn,orthe
abilityoftheindividualsparkstoreturntotheoriginalLight
throughtheprocessofredemption.AccordingtotheGnostics,
thisworld,anditshistory,aretheworksoftheevilDemiurge.
Thisisthefalsegod,ortheevilone,whobuiltthisworldasa
trapforsouls,orthelight.

Aseachsoulisredeemed,ittravelsbacktotheshattered
sourceofthedivineLight.Thesoulreturnsitsownsmallspark
oflighttothemainsource,whichslowly,asmoreandmore
soulsreturntoit,becomeswholeagain.Eventually,whenall
soulshavereturned,thephysicaluniverse,beingnow
completelywithoutLight,willend.Givenmodernbiology's
understandingofthelightemittingandinformationcarrying

Thereforethis"eschatologyofLight"synthesizedfrom
