Secrets of the I Ching

I often feel more depressed or confused when I read traditional I Ching books, but this book always made me feel good, with positive outlooks. When I followed the advice, it always worked out well for me, and I was more prepared to turn things around with a positive mind frame. Love this book, and if I have a negative outcome, I always defer to it for upliftment, when the other books are lowering my energy.

I love this book because it deals with the God within and I use it to just understand myself. It is a great presentation of the way to connect with God.

I use both Eastern interpretation of the I Ching and the Christian mystical approach contained in here for deeper understanding. This one, in particular, speaks to my own heart and has helped me the most. I have had it for many years, use it regularly and feel grateful to the author for writing it. Thank you.

I found a copy at the thrift store. It's on my desk now. I use a desktop PC to 'cast coins', then flip to this edition. It's been my fav for a couple of months now. This edition provides interpretations based on Biblical reflections of the images in the I Ching. If you have ever fallen in love with God, you will like how Murphy couches every interpretation as an opportunity to turn it over to God, return to God, seek inspiration from God, trust God's wisdom. He does this for each and every line of every hexagram. Using this approach constitutes a great contribution to the I Ching genre and a huge achievment in synthesis.

I am a fan of Joseph Murphy. His books have helped me this past year more than any other to create my future and understand that I need to control my thoughts. This book is my first I Ching book. It is well written and easy to understand. I find that when I ask a question, the answer easily goes to the topic at hand and of course helps me to heal my mind in that area, besides helps me choose a course of action. This is a good first book.
