When we use the I Ching to ask a question, it's as if we are writing a letter to the Universe…. The answers we get are always for our highest and best good.”“It is a great comfort,” he says, “to know that no matter how monumental our problem, there is a solution to it that will put us in a better situation than we were before the problem arose.”
