BOOK OF CHANGES / JUNG
Why Jung turned to
The Book of Changes.
The Book of Changes offers symbols for changing situations. Jung explored how those symbols could feel connected to a person’s inner life.
SIGNAL
Another view of
your question.
The Signal gives you another view.
You choose what to do.
AN EXAMPLE / CAREER
Should I take the offer?
○ WAIT
- WHAT THIS MEANS
- You can be interested in the offer without being ready to say yes.
- TRAP TO AVOID
- Mistaking pressure to decide for a reason to accept.
- NEXT STEP
- Ask what you still need to know before deciding.
The choice stays yours.
AWARENESS
Notice. Reflect.
Understand yourself.
Notice your response. Record your choice.
See what you learn when you look back.

YOUR RECORD
Keep the moment.
Understand it later.
A few details now give you something real to return to, long after the feeling has passed.
01 / STATEHow are you feeling
right now?
Save your mood, energy, and how much this decision matters to you. This helps you understand your choice later.
EXAMPLE RECORD- Mood
- Unsure
- Energy
- Low
- Importance
- A big decision
Before the decision
02 / INTENTIONWhat do you
want to do?
After the Signal, save what you plan to do—even if you choose a different direction. The choice is yours.
MY PLAN THEN“I’ll wait until I’ve asked a few more questions.”
Written before knowing the outcome
03 / ACTIONWhat did you
actually do?
Come back to record what you did and what happened next. It’s okay if your plan changed.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT“I asked for more time.
The offer was still open.”
Added when I looked back
REFLECTION
A moment becomes
a clearer picture.
Look back at one decision, a week, or a month. Notice what repeats—and what begins to change.
FROM A DECISION RECORDILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
LOOK BACK / ONE DECISION
Was the deadline
really the pressure?
- My question
- Should I accept the offer now?
- My plan
- Ask a few more questions first.
- What happened
- I asked for more time. The offer stayed open.
I had more room to choose than I felt at the time.
WEEKLY READING / A FEW MOMENTS TOGETHER
Different questions.
A familiar urgency.
A job offer. A difficult conversation. A message you wanted to send.
In this example week, each decision came with a feeling that you needed to act quickly.
Was there a deadline—or did uncertainty make it feel urgent?
MONTHLY READING / CHANGE OVER TIME
A little more space
before you act.
Earlier records describe deciding quickly to put uncertainty behind you. Later ones describe asking questions and taking more time.
The uncertainty did not disappear. Your response began to change.
A pattern is something you can notice—and respond to differently.
Your questions. Your choices. Your perspective over time.

A FEW QUESTIONS
Before you begin.
Does the Signal decide for me?
No. MOVE, WAIT, and STEP BACK offer perspectives. You choose what to do and record your own plan.
Does Shadow OS predict the future?
No. The symbols invite reflection. Your record helps you see what you felt, what you did, and what happened next.
Do I need to use it every day?
No. Bring a question when a real decision is on your mind. Return when you have something to add or want to look back.
Who can see my record?
Your decision record is not displayed publicly. Read the Privacy Policy for details about storage, processing, and deletion.
