Existance is a reproduction

Something to chew on.

In the introduction to edition of The I-Ching (or Book of Changes) I am currently involved in, Richard Wilheim (the author of the translation) states that '...every event in the visible world is the effect of an "image," that is, of an idea in the unseen world. Accordingly, everything that happens on earth is only a reproduction, as it were, of an event in a world beyond our sense perception.'

I read this on the train the other morning and haven't been able to get it out of my mind... Just thought I'd pass it along.
