Questions? Comments? Text Us!Revisit Episode 21, where Dr. Jerry L. Martin, the philosopher who heard the voice of God, explores one of God's earliest forms of communication with humankind: the I Ching, or Book of Changes. The I Ching emerges from humanity’s earliest spiritual attempts to seek divine insight, using oracle bones to reveal God’s presence and guidance. God shares how these human-initiated forms of divination shaped God's communication, presenting Godself not only as the creator but as the embodiment of aesthetic order in the cosmos.God explains that engagement with early Chinese spiritual seekers influenced the development of the I Ching and laid the groundwork for spiritual traditions like Taoism and Confucianism. God and Jerry discuss:Hexagram 1: The Creative – representing perseverance and the masculine force of yang, which God associates with His role as the originator of universal laws.Hexagram 2: The Receptive – symbolizing the feminine force of yin and its connection to the Earth, focusing on acting in harmony with natural and divine order.Hexagram 3: Difficulty at the Beginning – exploring how God views early struggles as a foundation for personal growth and spiritual development.Hexagram 5: Waiting – a lesson in patience and nourishment, emphasizing the importance of allowing divine timing to guide human action.Hexagram 6: Conflict – offering wisdom on resolving disputes and finding divine balance in moments of tension.Hexagram 7: The Army – revealing how organized effort and divine strategy play a role in achieving goals through cooperation.Join us next week as we celebrate the 200th weekly episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast!Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project- How to live a wiser, happier, and more meaningful life with special guests.From God To Jerry To You- a brand-new series calling for the attention of spiritual seekers everywhere, featuring breakthroughs, pathways, and illuminations.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God- sit in on a dialogue between philosophers about God and the questions we all have. What's On Our Mind- Connect the dots with Jerry and Scott over the most recent series episodes. What's On Your Mind- What are readers and listeners saying?
