• Shares a deep understanding of the I Ching's cosmological foundation • Offers the meanings of the straight and broken lines of the 64 hexagrams • Explains how the symbol of the yin-yang represents the individual's destiny, including his emanation from, and reintegration into, Perfection First published in French in 1905, and now translated into English for the first time, Matgioi's book became the metaphysical core of the Traditionalist movement established by French occultist René Guénon, Julius Evola, and Ananda Coomaraswamy. Translator Joscelyn Godwin tells how Matgioi was initiated into a Taoist secret society and was given rare access to the perennial wisdom of that tradition. His work reveals the great antiquity of Emperor Fohi, who set down the cosmogonic principles upon which the I Ching is based and lived more than 2,000 years before Moses. Matgioi regarded Fohi as representing a school of sages unbound to any century since their wisdom is as old as humanity itself. The I Ching crystallizes a first and truest insight into the nature of reality from which the ancients derived a practical philosophy. Chinese traditionalists regard the I Ching as the first monument of consciousnes, and Matgioi explores it and equally important treatises by Fohi's successors. In this book, readers will discover the divine nature of Chinese script, the relationship of logos and symbol, and the multiple shapes of the universe. Matgioi also explains how the yin-yang symbolizes one's destiny and emanation from, and reintegration into, Perfection. This key work echoes Emperor Fohi's belief that the solutions to all questions can be found by bringing them back to their sources.
