I Ching. Based on the philosophy of Tao, which offers a means of examining the universe
through the principals of interconnectedness - or Jungian synchronicity.
Wikipedia - There is a flow in the universe, and it is called Tao. Tao flows slowly,
however; it is never stagnant and is incredibly powerful and keeps things in the universe
balanced and in order. It manifests itself through change of seasons, cycle of life, shifts
of power, time, and so forth. Tao has a strong and deep connection with cosmology and the
natural world. Tao is the law of Nature. The concept of Tao is based upon the understanding that the only constant in the universe is change, (ie. I Ching, the "Book of Changes") and that we must understand and be in harmony with this change. The change is a constant flow from non-being into being, potential into actual, yin into yang...
From my understanding, Tao encompasses every single thing in the universe, including
knowledge of the future. When we throw the coins, we are in tune with the Tao; everything is connected at this exact moment to select the exact wisdom appropriate in a book created by the sages of China over a period of five thousands years - The I Ching.
The I Ching serves to break down preconceptions by forcing us to correlate our situation
with a chance sequence of six readings; and in the calm of withdrawal into sacred time and
space, we can free the mind to take account of all infomation whether or not it conflicts
with the preconceptions, awaken it to unnoticed similarities and connections.
