The I Ching: Points of Balance and Cycles of Change

From the Publisher

“Among the many available versions of the I Ching, this new rendering by Jungian analyst Peggy Jones deserves a special place. It presents the wisdom of the ancient Chinese oracle in lucid, psychological language that speaks directly and insightfully to contemporary situations. Remaining faithful to the spirit of the original, Peggy Jones's I Ching, guides us sagely in the task of maintaining psychological balance in a world of rapid change. Not least, this is a workable I Ching, that stands up to the ultimate, practical test by providing illuminating responses when questioned. While there has been a long association of the I Ching, with Jungian psychology, the appearance of this version wholly rendered by a Jungian analyst and suffused with the wisdom gleaned from long analytic experience is an important event in itself.”

“In Peggy Jones’s book there is no determining historical or theoretical setting to what she writes, rather there is the voice of someone consciously dealing with the personal experiences of the inevitability of change. It is an ageless voice which creates an awareness of her having an inside line to a timeless space in the reader, a space which is the whole history of time—an all encompassing interactive net of past, present and future.”

“This is a fascinating book which I recommend to anybody interested in the process of deep and spiritual change in life, particularly to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists who will discover in it a totally different approach to the problem of opposites in our life.”
