The Soul and its consequences from 1 to 10* is also represented by the
I CHING, or book of changes.
Originating in the dawn of history, it is a
common source of Confucian and Taoist philosophies.
It identifys the
continuous changes of all existence.
The prose between the symbol and name is by Claus Furstner.
*10 Represents the completion of the cycle and entering the next.
