TAOIST COSMOLOGY (YUZHOUXUE): Mythology of Metaphysics (DAOZHAN: Divination Resource for Daoist Calculation Book 2)

“The holy sages were divine, hence they knew the future; they were wise, hence they stored up the past.”- Yijing as quoted in Da LiuTaoist divination, a metaphysical application of an eternal philosophy (internal) of nature (cosmic integrity), is built upon the foundation of cosmology (external) (the study of the origin and structure of the universe), which describes the myth of creation and its living process through unfolding mathematical-numerological structures. Cosmology represents the physical (earth) aspect of creation, particularly pertaining to the human being (daoshi). Philosophy represents the spiritual (heaven) aspect of the method (dao). Both cosmology and philosophy combine to form the metaphysical application, which represents the emotional (human) aspect of the written cosmic code (Yijing).Taoist Cosmology: Mythology of Metaphysics, served originally as the second chapter within the tome, DAOZHAN: Divination Resource for Daoist Calculation. Even though all divination applications (each explained within a DAOZHAN chapter) are interconnected, the chapters of DAOZHAN were segmented into individual books in order to allow greater convenience and access for readers seeking information on a specific divination application. The word Tao (dao) means “way,” or more specifically “way of truth.” Copyright 2005. (214 pages; 87 figures); For more info goto: http://lotusspace.com/P-texts.htm Read more
