Oracle version 1.1 ------------
------------------ | Nightshade |
| /--\ |
By James Clark (1993) | |____| |
--------------------- | Production |
------------
- To run from CLI type `Oracle'
This program is based of the Chinese `I CHING' or `THE BOOK OF CHANGE'
The philosophy to be found in the I CHING is a Chinese version of the
polarity theory of duality that underlies all the great religions of the
Orient. It proposes a positive and dynamic principal, Yang , and a
negative, form principle, Yin. The two opposites complement one another,
and are both manifestations of the eternal and infinite T'ai Chi.
In the I Ching both Yin and Yang are represented with lines:
Yin : Broken lines ---- ----
Yang: Whole lines ----------
-You Fist ask a Question
-Then you say how it would be best resolved
- Hexagrams are then formed on a Random Basis and and a number is given
which must be read off a chart.
eg.
Upper
--- ---
--------
--- ---
Lower
--------
--------
--------
You would read Upper along the top of the chart and Lower down the side
of the chart. In the example the equivalent number of the Hexagram would
be : 5
So you would look up the number 5 for the answer to your question.
