INTRODUCTION
In his middle age, Confucius wanted to re-learn Zhouyi from the beginning. He said that learning Zhouyi would not make any mistakes. The Analects of Shu’er recorded: “Master Confucius said, ‘Give me a few more years, that is, fifty years, to learn Zhouyi, and I will not make any big mistakes.’” He is also credited with writing the “Ten Wings,” a commentary intended to aid in the study of Zhouyi.
Zhouyi, also known asthe I-Ching or Book of Changes, is not the I-Ching of the Zhou dynasty; but the book of circular change. In Chinese, “Zhou” means circular. The book starts with the Qian hexagram, discussing the enlightenment process, followed by the Kun hexagram, which addresses the disciple’s way. However, the journey to self-realization commences with the third hexagram, Zhun. After a vast span of time, the seeker arrives at hexagram 63, Jiji, which signifies arriving home, having crossed the river, or reaching the other shore. However, upon crossing, the seeker realizes that the river is illusory, the shores are one, and he has never truly left home. This realization is captured in hexagram 64, Weiji, which reflects a state of not having crossed the river, nor coming home—representing the essence of circular change. Perhaps, recognizing that the Zhouyi was not a Chinese work, they attributed the I Ching to three versions: Lianshan, which begins with Chunjin gua, number 52, from the Xia Dynasty; Guitang, starting with Chunkun gua, number 2, from the Shang Dynasty; and the Zhouyi, commencing with the Qian gua, number 1, from the Zhou Dynasty. Lianshan and Guitang are now lost, with only the Zhouyi remaining, which was edited by Confucius. This article argues for the Egyptian origins of the I Ching.
Over 5,000 years ago, a group of Middle Easters moved to China and brought with them elements of Egyptian civilization, including writing, mythology and other artifacts. In a public lecture in March, 2016, geochemist Sun Weidong, from University of Science and Technology in Hefei, quoted historian Sima Qian’s description of the topography of the Xia empire, “Northwards the stream is divided and becomes the nine rivers. Reunited, it forms the opposing river and flows into the sea.”
There is only one major river in the world which flows northwards, which is the Nile river in Egypt. In addition, in the 1990s while performing radiometric dating of ancient Chinese bronzes, Sun found that their chemical composition more closely resembled those of ancient Egyptian bronzes than native Chinese ores. The discovery let him to claim that the founders of the Chinese civilization were not Chinese, but actually migrants from Egypt. Regarding Chinese writing, scholar Paul Carus notes a clear similarity between Chinese writing and cuneiform. Furthermore, the I-Ching, or Book of Changes, or Yijing, or Zhouyi, is another Egyptian creation that the Chinese inherits but does not understand its profound knowledge about the universe and humanity. It has a detailed map of the journey from a common source, the Dao, from which all things depart and will eventually return. As its profound knowledge is being slowly revealed, in the coming era faith-based religions will diminish, and the I-Ching will emerge as the guiding light in humanity’s pursuit of truth.
This articles consists of four parts. The first part outlines universal laws, proposing that the universe, the I-Ching, DNA, Tarot and astrology share identical structures. The second part applies these laws to explain the emergence of all things from a common source and the process of life creation on Earth. The third part discusses the return journey and the obstacles that must be overcome. Finally, the 4th part confirms that the I-Ching encompasses all the characteristics of the previous sections, implying it is not a Chinese creation.
1 – UNIVERSAL LAWS
Around 13.7 billion years ago, matter in the universe condensed into an infinitely small point with infinite density and temperature. Then, a rapid expansion occurred, causing the universe to expand faster than light. This period of swift cosmic expansion eventually led to the formation of particles and atoms, the building blocks of celestial bodies and galaxies. However, several questions arise: What caused the universe to condense into a point? Where did this condensed matter originate? What laws allowed for condensation in the void? What forces drove the infinite increase in temperature? Science can’t determine the state of the universe prior to this condensation.
Recently, it has been confirmed that galaxies are moving away from each other, with their speed increasing the farther they are from Earth, challenging the conventional understanding that gravity is the only force acting in the macroscopic world. Moreover, the ages of galaxies vary, prompting inquiries about the source of their matter. To address these questions, science posits that dark energy is responsible for the accelerating movement of galaxies, while dark matter contributes to the formation of new galaxies. This leads to further questions about the origins of dark energy and dark matter.
Thus, science cannot fully explain that matter in the universe is not randomly distributed but structured in an orderly fashion, with numerous clusters of galaxies, each containing multiple solar systems (Figure 1). This consistent structure enables mystics to discern the underlying laws of the universe. Additionally, science posits that the universe is merely a shadow of a hidden entity, which mystics refer to as the Dao.
In Figure 2, the Dao (noted as DO) is the source of all, while the universe is composed of galaxy clusters (noted as SI), including the Milky Way, which has solar systems (noted as La). Within those solar systems is our Sun (noted as Sol), which gives rise to the planets (noted as Fa), including Earth (noted as Re). The Moon (noted as Mi) orbits the Earth, and beneath the Moon lies the void, representing the Dao (noted as Do).
1.1 – RAY OF CREATION
So, according to Figure 2, all celestial bodies can be identified by starting from a galaxy down to the Sun, then the Earth and the Moon. A chain of these celestial bodies is called the Ray of Creation, each chain is an octave, called the Law of the Seven, consisting of 7 segments Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si, Do. Thanks to the Law of Seven, there is no chaos. However, what law determines where these celestial bodies come from? The Dao is the only entity that exists, so it has no will, including the will to create the universe. Instead, it has a creative principle including Law of the Three and Law of the Seven. Law of the Three is the three agents, of forces, that cause all changes in the universe. Law of the Three has many different names, in the universe there are three forces – creation, attraction and repulsion. The force of creation helps celestial bodies to create lower celestial bodies. The attractive force, also called gravity, holds the elements of a system together. The repulsive force has two aspects: within the same system it is the centrifugal force which keeps smaller bodies from being pulled into larger ones, and at the same time it is the repulsive force, which keeps the outside bodies from entering the system. The repulsive force explains why galaxies are always moving apart. The creatve force explains why celestial bodies and galaxies are always growing and pushing other galaxies away. Always growing and moving but not chaotically because there is Law of the Seven that governs the ways in which all changes must be followed.
1.2 – LAW OF THE THREE
In a nutshell, Law of the Three has many names: 1. Active, reactive, neutral; 2. Creation, nourishment, and destruction; 3. Astronomy – creation, attraction, and repulsion; 4.DNA: 1st base, 2nd base, and 3rd base; 5. Astrology: cardinal, fixed, and mutable; 6. I-Ching: Sun, Earth, Moon; 7. Physics – gravity, strong force, electro-weak.
A crucial principle of the Law of the Three is that at each intersection of space and time, it creates a new entity and three new forces. The total force of the new entity is the total forces of the units above it,+ the three new forces. For example, the Sun has three forces of its own. Hence, in Figure 2, the total forces of the Sun is 12=0 of Dao +3 of all galaxies + 6 of all Suns +3 of new 3 forces of itself.
1.3 – LAW OF THE SEVEN
The Law of the Three is the three agents that cause all fluctuations in the universe. Fluctuation but not chaos because of the Law of the Seven. The Law of the Seven states that all natural phenomena are composed of many cycles of 7 segments, symbolized by 7 musical notes: Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si, Do. Some examples of the Law of Seven: 1. An octave has 7 notes Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si; 2. The periodic table has 7 steps; 3. White light has 7 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue; indigo, violet; 4. A week has 7 days;
In these 7 segments, there are two segments where there is a change in the frequency of the change, at Mi-Fa and Si-Do. In a piano keyboard, between the two notes Mi-Fa and Si-Do there is no black key in the middle signifying a change in direction (Figure 3).
Therefore, these 7 sections can be divided into 4 sections: 1 = Do-Re-Mi; 2 = Mi-Fa; 3 = Fa-Sol-La-Si; and 4 = Si-Do. These four sections have many different names. See Table 1.

Thus, the universe has countless rays of creation. That is the whole structure of the universe, which looks the same everywhere. In addition, because the galaxies and the planets of the solar system do not affect earthly creatures on as much as the Dao, the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon. Figure 2 is reduced to Figure 4, called Simple Ray of Creation.
If you denote the 4 segments of the octave as follows: A=Do-Re-Mi; C=Mi-Fa; T=Fa-Sol-La-Si; and G=Si-Do; at the same time, denote the octave Dao-Sun=1st base; the octave Sun-Earth=2nd base; and the octave Earth-Moon=3rd base. The result is that 1st base, 2nd base, and 3rd base are a form of Law of the three, and they all have 4 elements: A, C, T, G see Figure 4. Finally, using Cartesian product to pair elements of 1st base with the elements of 2nd base will yield 16 elements; then Cartesian product of those 16 elements with the 4 elements of 3rd base, yields 64 = 4x4x4 triples see Figure 5.
These are the 64 DNA codons, with A, C, T, G being the 4 basic acids. An important detail that science does not know. Figure 6 has 3 octaves and a Do note in Dao. This results in 22 (22=7×3+1) notes. These are the 22 amino acids. So, the ray of creation is the source of life. See Figure 6. In other words, each cell of an organism and the universe have identical structure. It is the holographic universe.
1.5 – ASTROLOGY
Figure 4 can also be linked to astrology (Figure 7). Astrology has 3 attributes: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. This is the Law of the Three in astrology. Let denote the octave Dao-Sun as Cardinal, Sun-Earth = Fixed, Earth-Moon = Mutable. The Law of Seven is expressed through the four elements as follows: Do-Re-Mi = Fire, Mi-Fa = Earth, Fa-Sol-La-Si = Air, and Si-Do = Water (Figure 7).
Thus, Cardinal (C), Fixed (F), and Mutable (M) all have the four elements Fire (F), Earth (E), Air (A), and Water (W). Combining the three qualities with the four elements will give you four triplets (C, F, M) expressed through the four triplets of the elements: (fire, earth, air), (water, fire, earth), (earth, water, fire), (earth, air, water) (Table 2).
In these triplets, element 1 belongs to Cardinal (C), 2 belongs to Fixed (F), and 3 belongs to Mutable (M). These four triads can be named as follows:
- aries (cardinal, fire), taurus (fixed, earth), gemini (mutable, air);
- cancer (cardinal, water), leo (fixed, fire), virgo (mutable, earth);
- libra (cardinal, air), sagittarius (fixed, water), scorpio (mutable, fire);
- capricorn (cardinal, earth), aquarius (fixed, air), pisces (mutable, water).
