Good Morning H-50
Hexagram 50
by James Byrd | "The Future"
I. The Oracle
A. Hexagram fifty is related directly with Holding (Handles). Another variation is The Cauldron or a big pot for preparing a feast that has jade
handles/rings on each side of it for holding a hot pot: It could be said that the jade handles will in some way cushion the effect of the hot pot. A hot pot can in some way give you the meaning of some social interaction. I think jade with its molecular structure operates as a soothing solution to some or maybe all related interactions during those sometimes-trying moments.
1. The Cauldron, Supreme good fortune; Everything is now favorable2. Success
B. The Image
1. Fire over wooda) The image of The Cauldron
b) Thus, the superior man consolidates his fate, by making his position correct. Karma = Future.
II. My interpretation
A. As it is said in other books it is a day of sacrifice to appease the Gods or God
1. Having a piece of jade(B. All I can see for now in terms of collective care, is to cleanup your surroundings, and care for it as much as possible, but better yet, treat it as a living thing. It is just like your own body, you are not always sick, because your body has scrambled back to equilibrium, the self-healing effect, which by choice, the earth carries with it as well, during these increasingly hot summer days. It should not look sick all the time, clean it up. Think to suffice some things that might be a cause to that particular sickness. 7-31-23)
