This is a personal translation of the 易经. It is known in English as the Book of Changes or the Classic of Change. To me, the book's beauty is found in the lives it has led. It was used to divine the future, then as a book on morality, and then a book on metaphysics. Each time, the change was made by a dutiful commentator just clarifying its meaning. The words were not changed. The book's essence was changed by merely adding. It is a book that stands the hierarchy of essence and appearance on its head. According to the Book of Changes, appearance is static and essence is dynamic.

This translation removes all the commentaries thus changing its meaning again. This is not an attempt to get to the original meaning. It is just another change.

On the Evolution of Logic: An Introduction to Cognietrics by cognietrics
8 parts Complete
I wrote my first book, An Introduction to Cognietrics, in order to bring extended meaning to the suppositions encountered in the definition of the Myers-Briggs types. Though many books have been written on this subject, I felt that few had unifying ideas or were otherwise able to inspire a coherent, philosophical discussion of its implications among readers. In writing this book I was finally able to redefine and then derive the fundamental epistemological concepts on which our experience of reality is based using underlying cognitive constructs, ultimately merging psychology with philosophy itself, and even discuss ideas that I had not previously encountered, such as the definition of knowledge in terms of Jungian dichotomies, the mathematical symmetry of philosophy, the principles on which the paradoxical Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics is founded, and the differences between induction and deduction, patterns and concepts, discovery and invention, cause and effect, and statistics and determinism. In this book I also show how the different personalities work together to accommodate novel ideas and recurring trends in an endless cycle as determined by the order of the strongest Jungian Cognitive Functions, and I describe how different combinations of personality traits may manifest in each type. I must end by saying that I sincerely hope that this book brings you as much insight while reading it as it brought me while writing it, and I wish you the best of luck.

Metanoia: Change in one's way of life ~~~~~~~ Renjun had been suspicious of almost everything his entire life. And this time he intends to leave it all behind him. But that suspicion is out to get him, in a much different way. ~~~~~~~ THIS IS THE SECOND INSTALMENT OF THE 'HYPNAGOGIA' SERIES. I HIGHLY SUGGEST THAT YOU GO AND READ THE FIRST BOOK BEFORE READING THIS. MOST SUBJECTS TOUCHED ON IN THIS BOOK THAT WERE IN THE PREVIOUS ONE WON'T BE DESCRIBED AS MUCH. SO TO AVOID CONFUSION PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF ON THE FIRST BOOK.
