THE TAO OF LIFE - ROLAND FREY KARTONIERT (TB)

The book describes a hypothesis on the origin of life on earth. It assumes that the microcosmic
molecular basis of life arose by adaptation to the overlaying macrocosmic astronomical rhythms
impacting on the earth. Viewed from the earth these rhythms appear as the 'course' of the sun 
the moon and the starry sky. They generate the time cycles of the 24 hour day  of the month and
the year and  together  are united in a 'joint rhythm circle' by a fourth rhythm  the 19 years
lasting lunisolar cycle (Meton cycle). The basic structure of the Chinese Book of Changes (I
Ging) was also derived from the macrocosmic astronomical rhythms impacting on the earth. These
rhythms and the resulting 'cyclical time' of the earth were observed by early Chinese and used
for creating the Book of Changes as a symbolical microcosmic representation of the macrocosmic
rhythms. Therefore  the molecular basis of life and the basic structure of the I Ging resemble
each other. According to the presented approach  the basis of life is a microcosmic 'copy' of
the macrocosmic rhythms. This provides a simple explanation for the unity of macro- and
microcosm in the sense that the microcosm includes the macrocosmic pattern of order in itself.
