Today's I Ching for Jim Jones
The yarrow have been drawn....






| The present 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 third line, divided, shows its subject striving after union and seeming to sigh, yet nowhere finding any advantage. If he go forward, he will not err, though there may be some small cause for regret. | | The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject in such a state that, if he be greatly fortunate, he will receive no blame. | | The topmost line, divided, shows its subject sighing and weeping, but there will be no error. | | The situation is shifting, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground. | 





| The future is embodied in Hexagram 53 - Chien (Gradual Progress): We see the marriage of a young lady, and the good fortune attending it. There will be advantage in being firm and correct. |  | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Tui (Lake), which is transforming into Sun (Wind). As part of this process, joy, pleasure, and attraction are giving way to penetration and following. |  | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram K'un (Earth), which is transforming into Ken (Mountain). As part of this process, docility and receptivity are giving way to stillness and obstruction. |
