A Condensery of My Last I Ching Post

The I Ching as a book has 384 changing lines purpotedly with slightly more positive omens than negative.

But when you consider that each of the 64 hexagrams has a combination of 64 potential outcomes, there are actually 4096 omens (which are later revealed in the Han Dynasty book, The Forest of Changes). In this case, the omens are slightly more negative than positive. 

So life is slightly more negative than positive in its archetypal form. Like water and earth mixturing into mud.

Although how negative and positive play out in an individual’s life is still individual. Also the duality of life is equally balanced between yin and yang as seen in the tai chi symbol.
