The novel approaches of Eastern religions, have explored the nature of our reality, in books like the "IChing” or the "Book of Changes", reflecting the text's focus on the concept of change and transformation as a fundamental principle of the universe. Taoist see "human measured time" as a mental construction rather than the authentic, cosmological time. They view time as cyclical, repeating rhythms and patterns.
