Housed in custom blue cloth clamshell case. The ultimate New-Age I Ching: a presentation copy from the Beatles' George Harrison to Ravi Shankar, inscribed: "To Raviji - with much love and thanks", signed by Harrison and dated Christmas 1966. The second volume also inscribed: "To Raviji - love from George Harrison". - Harrison first met Shankar in London in 1966, and soon after travelled to India to study sitar with the famous Indian musician. It was the beginning of a long friendship and artistic collaboration, which inspired some of the Beatles' most iconic songs, brought Indian Classical music to a much wider international audience, and influenced the trajectory of pop music writ large. The experience encouraged Harrison's interest not only in Indian music, but in Eastern philosophy more generally - explaining perhaps the choice of this translation of the Chinese philosophical classic, the I Ching, with a preface by the famous psychoanalyst C. G. Jung, who would appear on the cover of the Beatles' album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" in the following year. - Volume II jacket wanting rear flap, light wear to jackets, otherwise quite well preserved.

The I Ching is the most venerable masterpiece in all of Chinese Literature with all you can handle on multiple levels including a fortune telling game for the sleeping uninitiated and a stairway into the mind of Confucius for the conscious and awakened. The origins of I Ching were as a divination text from the 10th-4th century BC. This edition was originally translated into German by Wilhelm in 1924, then into English here by Baynes; considered the first accurate and culturally sympathetic translation. One of the oldest continuous philosophical and divinatory traditions, a text that bridges ancient Chinese cosmology with practical wisdom over the course of three millennia. As both an oracle and a philosophical treatise, it embodies the fundamental Chinese concept of change as the only constant in existence, offering a systematic approach to understanding the dynamic interplay between opposing forces (yin and yang) that govern all phenomena. Its influence extends far beyond divination into Chinese philosophy, literature, politics, and daily life, making it one of the most consulted books in human history and a cornerstone text for understanding Chinese thought, from Confucianism to Taoism.

Etat : Very Good. First Edition. First British edition of this important translation. A presentation copy inscribed by Carl Jung in the year of publication to his secretary Mary Foote. "To Mary Foote bene meritae de petrie with the author's compliments Oct. 1931" though Jung did not sign his name. Foote was an accomplished American painter and producer of notes of Carl Jung's seminars. She published Jung's notes in Zurich beginning in 1928 until WWII.

Very Good with light wear to cloth at edges, moderate scuffing to covers, contents tanned.The Secret of the Golden Flower is a Chinese Taoist book on neidan (inner alchemy) meditation, which also mixes Buddhist teachings with some Confucian thoughts, which was written in the late 1600s. First translated into German by sinologist Richard Wilhelm, a friend of Jung's, The Secret of the Golden Flower describes a straightforward and silent meditation method that has been characterized as "Zen with details." Cary F. Baynes translated that it into English and Jung provided commentary. This translation modernly popularized the work among Westerners as a Chinese "religious classic"; it is read in psychological circles for analytical and transpersonal psychology considerations of Taoist meditations, although it receives little attention in the East.
