One of the things that the I Ching teaches you, when you get really deep into it, is to see certain things in really big scales of time.
This also brings with it the realization that all the truly big things, the really meaningful things you can do with your life, are things you will never live to see the end results of.
The key to making intentional change in something, according to the I Ching, is to do it before it starts.
To have a vision of the future, to know how to make change in something before it even starts, requires that you must be able to very clearly observe the present.
So if the future is really Incipiencies existing as 'seeds' in the present, changing the future is all about planting the right seeds.
