Hexagram 40

By: James Byrd

I.The Oracle 

A. Hexagram 40 is Xie or Taking Apart. Variations are Deliverance and Untangled. Its lower trigram is Kan: gorge or water, and the upper trigram is Zhen: shake or thunder.   

   

B. The Judgment

   1. Deliverance. The southwest furthers.
       if there is no longer anything where one has to go, 
       Return brings good fortune.
   2. If there is still something where one has to go,  
       Hastening brings good fortune.

C. The Image

  1. Thunder and rain set in: (you heard?)
      a) The image of Deliverance.
      b) Thus, the superior man pardons mistakes.
           And forgives misdeeds.
           

II. My interpretation 

A. "Deliverance"

Apart from all personification, the whole of space in which life finds itself has a malevolently spiritual character, and the "demons" themselves are as much spatial realms as they are persons. To overcome them is the same thing as to pass through them, and in breaking through their boundaries this passage at the same time breaks their power and achieves the liberation from the magic of their sphere.
H. Jonas --The Gnostic Religion

Release: 

If perhaps you do have a very important event on the set to meet – forestall it if it’s not so high on the importance scale – on the other hand if movement will exponentially increase your shares – hasten and do so.

Why not? The image revels or symbolize – thunder under rain. Be brave if you will, facing danger square in the face. If you must complete the task at those stakes, it’s better just to turn back.

Get it right, no action maybe not required at this time. Sort of like softening a hard stance against a serious misdeed. Reverse/hoodwinking can be very misforgiving – forgive and let go.

That would be a good example of “Devine Deliverance back to The Place.” Very self-actualized is the internal reflection to be seen by a person who is grounded and defined as satisfied to be making progress towards that goal.
