Philip Dick, Man In The High Castle - Consulting The Oracle Or Yi Jing - Sadler's Lectures
This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel The Man In The High Castle It focuses specifically on the role that the ancient Chinese work and practice of divination, The Book Of Changes (Yi Jing/I Ching), generally referred to as "The Oracle". It is used by a number of the characters in the Pacific States of America and in the Rocky Mountain States within the novel, and for more than one purpose. Nobusuke Tagomi, Frank Frink, and Juliana Frink consult the oracle for guidance in preparing for and making decisions about important matters. In the cases of Tagomi and Frank, they also rely upon the oracle to better understand their own relationship to the Dao or their own unconscious.
