Today's I Ching for Jim Jones
The coins have been tossed...
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 8 - Pi (Union): There is good fortune, but let him reexamine himself. Let him divine whether his virtue be great, unremitting, and firm. If it be so, there will be no error. Those who have not rested will then come to him. With those who are too late in coming, it will be ill. | | In the fourth line, divided, we see its subject seeking for union with the one beyond himself. With firm correctness there will be good fortune. | | The situation is evolving slowly, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 45 - Ts'ui (Gathering Together): The king will repair to his ancestral temple. It will be advantageous to meet with the great man. Then there will be progress and success, though the advantage must come through firm correctness. The use of great victims will be conducive to good fortune, and in whatever direction movement is made, it will be advantageous. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'an (Water), which is transforming into Tui (Lake). As part of this process, danger and the unknown are giving way to joy, pleasure, and attraction. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram K'un (Earth), which represents docility and receptivity. |
