my I Ching reading last night:
Fellowship with Others
[in fellowship with others embody the principles of the Sage]
This hexagram addresses the proper basis of relationships with others. it generally comes as a sign that self correction is in order in this arena.
Proper relationships must be founded on and conducted under proper principles in order to succeed. Our model for how to behave with others in the Sage: in relating we are obliged to practice kindness, humility, correctness, equanimity, and openness. Wherever we depart from these we lose the aid of the Higher Power and risk an encounter with misfortune.
The fundamental rule of the I Ching for the conduct of relationships is that they take place in the open. This means that every facet of a relationship should be seen as fair and and correct by everyone concerned, not just yourself. It also means that it is improper to enter into or continue in relationships with unspoken reservations or hidden intentions.
Exceptional things can be accomplished by those who come together correctly in fellowship now under the guidance of an enlightened leader or leaders .Seek that role by patterning yourself after the Sage. Meet others halfway in a spirit of sincerity and receptivity. Give trust where it is due; where it is not, do not reserve to harshness-reserve and reticence are adequate measures. Avoid the formation of factions and cliques, and correct your errors in relationships as soon as you become aware of them. In this way you can accomplish magnificent deeds now.
Third line: Mistrust and secrets only lead to more mistrust and secrets. No good comes of this. Turn matters over to the Sage and follow his guidance.
