The first person to publish their findings on the connection between the I Ching and the DNA genetic code was Harvey Bialy. In his paper, "The I Ching and the Genetic Code" (1974) he states that Yin and Yang were synonymous with purines and pyrimidines, the two kinds of molecules working in interplay in the DNA system. He also goes on to provide reasonable assumptions on which base corresponds to each value: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.
He uses the convention of aging fluxes, Old Yin and Yang and Young Yin and Yang. Believing that the more polarized of the two sets, the purines, were equivalent to Yang, he identified Adenine and Guanine with young and old Yang, or Air and Fire. Harvey Bialy was a Qabbalist, as one finds he mentions that the Daleth, Nun and Aleph equal fifty-five, the secret number of Malkuth. (The sum of 1-10) An ancient Sumerian script states "The days are fifty, the nights are fifty, but the days of lies are fifty-five." Considering the Lord of Lies is also the Lord of Life it's not too difficult to draw a parallel to Hadit the serpent of light with the double-helix caduceus and his bride Nuit the lady of Stars and Night, who states "I am Nuit, and my word is six and fifty." It seems Nuit is the Mother Mathematican, and Hadit Father Nature.
Mutational Alchemy, the discipline of The Abrahadabra Institute developed by m1thr0s, is the study of and manipulation of the changes or mutations of the universe, the same mutations that occur in the I Ching and in the DNA code. Mutation of the biological type is directly responsible in part for the process of evolution. When a Yin or Yang flux changes polarity, such as in the case of a hexagram shifting into another, it is called a mutation.
The connection between Yin and Yang isn't the only parallel here of course in DNA and the I Ching. The analysis of the code is humanly imperfect and attributions of each compound to the bigrams remains arbitrary and guesswork. Nature doesn't speak in a language us primitive apes understand yet, he's working with a perfectly elegant system that works universally and perfectly.
Johnson F. Yan Ph.D did some of the finest work on the I Ching and the genetic code, by taking the cube model of Watson and Crick and applying the hexagrams to it. To show you how and why the DNA code is also the hexagrams it must be first understood that the code directs cellular function by speaking in codons. Importantly to our discussion the codons consist of three sets of paired pyrimidines and purines, and the code consists of four of these, just like the four binary bigrams. These are our hexagrams, as there are six total pyrimidines and purines in a codon. Dr. Yan reasoned that the Adenine and Guanine, the Purines (memorized using the mnemonic phrase All Gods are Pure) are larger molecules than the pyrimidines and should be consider old. (The mother and the father are old Yin and old Yang) This departs from Bialy's model which notated the purines as Yangs and the pyramidines as Yin.
Chart demonstrating the similarities between the I Ching and DNA. Each bar on the DNA strand is a bigram. These bigrams stack to form a hexagram on each side of the helix.
The codon comprises the wyrd of the DNA, each one is a command. There are exactly 64 of these command words, as one would expect just as the Chinese discovered there were only 64 permutations of all of the binary hexagrams. It's interesting to note this took a long time - not all regions of China used all 64 hexagrams, nor did they agree on the arrangements. It took over a thousand years for the I Ching to "settle down" into the set we now see in the excellent Wilhelm/Baynes translation called the King Wen arrangement.
This relationship to DNA and the I Ching is why we call the I Ching a bio-feedback system, perfectly balancing the microcosm of humans with macrocosm. It is the Hierophant himself, directing change and keeping us in connection with the Will of Heaven.
It would not be a mistake to say this code is responsible for most animal life, at least here on earth. Other codes exist that don't use the same compounds our DNA uses, but they are still be based on the same two part(helixical)/four part(ATGC)/three part(codon) style, otherwise known to Hermetic Alchemy as Bigrammaton, Tetragrammaton and Trigrammaton.
m1thr0s theorized from this that their is a second set of encryption known as the 729, the code of The Body of Light. These are the 729 ternary bigrams, adding a third element called Jen that was only partly researched in China and subjected to intense attacks by the enemies of The Enlightenment, such as Ch'in Shih Hwang-Ti and Mao.
The 729 is at the heart of the mysteries The Abrahadabra Institute is interested in studying, even though the task of decoding them is a daunting one, especially considering our science has not yet mastered the 64 yet, let alone discovered what the 729 is using as its medium.
By the math itself the code has to exist in nature - what it will be like when we find it is a wholly unknown and will be uncovered by some unknown future pioneer long after m1thr0s and I are dead.
This however, does not mean that we cannot utilize the 729 right away, at least half-assedly. There are tools here on abrahadabra.com and scattered throughout the occult body of the world that belong to any human by right of birth and can be used to at least partly interface with one's Body of Light. The mastery of the control panel of The Body of Light is exactly what Tantric masters are doing, it's what Qabbalists are doing when they play with the three mothers and the three fathers, the three worlds of the Sephiroth.
I hope this short explanation helps anyone get started on their study of the I Ching and the Genetic Code. There is much still to be done but grasping these basics of just how and why the codes match up so well is an essential piece of data for any occultist to know today.
