It's wise to return to ancient traditions to seek wisdom.
But which tradition? Which ancient culture?
I look around us, at the chaos, and I feel like looking to a culture that also survived and thrived under chaos.
In my mind...the right choice is to go the furthest back you can possibly go.
Shamanism is the correct choice. Particularly the Shamanism of the I-Ching.
The I-Ching came about as a result of institutional corruption and rot. It helped instill a very practical yet spiritual mindset. It helped instill symbolic way of thinking.
Try it. You'll be pleasantly surprised by how accurate and helpful it is.
