The origins of the I Ching pre-date literacy. We can not begin to imagine today what it was like to live in an environment that did not include the Internet, telephone, electricity
— you name it — and be solely dependant upon nature. The people of prehistorical
China had to have respect for and awe of nature that in many ways has been lost to our
consciousness today. The ancient Chinese did not see themselves as separate from the environment in which they lived.
