The Other Way: Meditation Experiences Based on the I Ching Paperback – December 31, 1990

by Carol K. Anthony (Author)
3.9 out of 5 stars 8 ratings
This book is a description of the method of meditation that the author learned through consulting the I Ching. It is also a collection of 250 experiences in meditation that were included because of their insightful and universal nature. They revealed the gradual lifting away of the author's hidden fears and doubts, one by one, that inhibited her from following her own inner sense of truth. This book shows the role of fear and doubt in the formation of the ego, and how they project themselves into reality. Freeing oneself from them makes the body healthy, the mind free, and the heart open to receive and to express love.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This book, together with "A Guide to the I Ching" and "The Philosophy of the I Ching," completes the basic trilogy of her work. It is of inestimable value for those who seek to understand the basis of her insights that led her to a modern understanding of the ancient images.

From the Author

This book is both a collection of meditation experiences I had over a 17 year period, and a description of the meditation method I learned from the I Ching. I sorted out those experiences that I felt had a universal rather than a purely personal value, to share them because they had been so helpful to me.

Carol K. Anthony (1930 - 2020)

Carol K. Anthony majored in creative writing at Ward Belmont College and the University of Iowa (1950), but did not find "her medium" until a friend brought her the I Ching in 1971, during a mid-life crisis. It was seven years later, when she realized that the notes she was keeping each time she experienced an "Aha,” (to something the I Ching was trying to get her to understand) were something also of potential help for others. These notes would become her first book on that subject — "A Guide to the I Ching." Ms. Anthony has been sharing her "Aha!s" ever since in one well-received book after another: four by herself until 1994, and three more in collaboration with Hanna Moog, a translator of all her books into German, and an expert publisher’s editor on the I Ching for Eugen Diederichs Verlag.

Ms. Anthony states of her relationship with the I Ching, “It came to me at a time of personal crisis, and helped me in ways I could not have imagined. It showed me that times of crisis are also times of opportunity — the opportunity to connect with the unique inner resources each of us possesses, but may have forgotten. They are the very resources we need to make our lives meaningful. The I Ching is a guide for this journey. It shows us that when we value and are true to ourselves and to our potentials, the whole Cosmos comes to our support. Today, more than ever, this 3000 year old book and its philosophy is needed.

Carol K. Anthony died in her home in Stow, Massachusetts, in August 2020. She has entrusted her co-author Hanna Moog with the continuation of running Anthony Publishing Company and all matters concerning the rights to her books and her joint ventures with Hanna Moog.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and Illuminating

    one of the more helpful books written about meditation, as it is intimate sharing by the author of her own personal journey this way. I esp. enjoy reading about the development of her following her body wisdom, Sage in this. I also like her approach, reason for meditating. To know self, become aware of what is going on inside us with the helpful guidance, lantern of the Sage. This has inspired me to develop my own relationship with Sage and allow it to lead me in my own meditation practice. My experiences are different than hers. She shares more the art of meditating, does give basic tips, and a few technics but by far the best guidance in it is to let a source of Wisdom guide you. Relax, turn awareness inside and prepare to be led by Wise Helper. all that is really needed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Provides a personal and rich background to working with the I Ching
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 6, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    The book is a sequence of meditations, dreams and reflections coming out of a long experience of working with the I Ching. Each section is one to two pages, is dated in time, and illuminates a particular theme the author was working with at the time. The short episodes are often analogies which clearly shines light, sometimes in surprising ways, on the particular theme.

    Many times one can get a feeling for the struggle that has been there in the authors learning process, and the book is more or less filled with the recipes and the fruits of that learning. This mix of personal, experiential and universal, presented in a low profile way, made it a beautiful reading experience to me. I'm sure I will come back to it in years to come.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Of little use
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2009

    Carol Anthony originally wrote some interesting books on the I Ching. This is not one of them. In an earlier book she describes a new form of meditation that she discovered. Its actually the standard technique of guided visualisation. This book is simply a record of those visualisations. As such it pointless. It doesn't help an individual to use the technique, and the only value of the actual "meditations" are to Anthony herself. As she has her own publishing house I expect we shall see even more I Ching books of dubious value.
