I begin with YHVH as a fourfold formula-a quaternity that structures creation in Kabbalah and clarifies the movement from emanation to embodiment. From there, I add a second layer: the Bagua as an inner \"family,\" and a third layer through a precise working matrix-32 paths and 64 hexagrams-organized so that correspondences can be tested in practice rather than assumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is conservative in spirit-respectful of sources and traditional categories-yet innovative in method. It is designed to function in three concrete ways: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- As a study map: to read both systems as one symbolic architecture. - As an oracular framework: integrating I Ching consultation with Tarot (Kabbalistic and Marseille) and the Tree of Life. - As a workable method: I include a 16-card consultation technique that preserves the logic of the ancient yarrow-stalk method while remaining practical and repeatable, along with tables that allow fast cross- referencing between trigrams, worlds, paths, and hexagrams. A final section explores time-structures inspired by Terence McKenna, including an I Ching \"cosmic clock,\" for readers interested in symbolic temporality. A final appendix in Mandarin Chinese is included for Chinese readers who want to try this ancient method instead of the three-coin method. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e四色牌(或四种颜色筹码)法 用16张牌按四种颜色分组(1张=老阴6，3张=老阳9，5张=少阳7，7张=少阴 8)，每次不看随机抽取一张并放回，重复六次自下而上成卦。\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e它与古法蓍草占的相似性在于 其1\/16、3\/16、5\/16、7\/16的概率分布与五十蓍草法一致，因此\"变爻\/静爻\"的 统计权重与古法同构，只是把繁复的计数操作压缩为更便携的抽取动作。\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The veracity of this system does not rest on the authority of the author; its criterion is the reader's experience.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you come as a newcomer or an experienced practitioner, the invitation is the same: study, test, and see what holds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alberto Munoz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798241953155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Alberto Munoz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48460321652991,"sku":"9798241953155","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89435fc4-4c6a-46fd-9c33-37a937d6e592.jpg?v=1777413985","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-i-ching-tree-of-alberto-munoz-9798241953155","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
