Welcome! Come on in and explore. Have a little fun and keep an open mind. What you'll find may be proof the I Ching must be believed. Let me know what you think.

Yes! The pages that follow will show you four arguments backed up with empirical data that suggests the I Ching may actually give meaningful answers to the questions it is asked.

Now to all of us that have used this tool this is really no surprise. But haven't you at sometime wondered if there was a way to demonstrate this empirically to your disbelieving friends? Especially, the scientists among them, who quibble with the irrationality of random chance being able to provide a meaningful answer to a question asked?

What follows is a copy of my Master's thesis, written for an MS in Management from Antioch University Seattle. It's a tough read on the WEB so if you like it I'm willing to make copies available via email.

And, when you get to Chapter 7 there is the suggestion of an answer. Using statistical analysis, probablity, cryptography and psychology I've outlined four arguments, proofs, that demonstrate we MUST at least consider the answers of the I Ching have meaning.

I think that's the most exciting part of this paper, but there is more. The chapters leading up to Chapter 7 will lead you on a journey of understanding how the I Ching is very much in sync with Western rational scientific thinking as we are coming to know it. Then you'll visit with my graduate class for three months while the I Ching predicts with 83% accuracy the coming events in the life of this group of professionals.

I hope you enjoy reading this story as much I enjoy the sharing of this story.

I'd like to hear from you. Give me more. Take the proofs further. I'll even help, if I can.

With humble regards,

Tony Granillo
