Extremely delicate.

Universal Power is a subtle but absolute power inherent in the universe. The dance of Yang and Yin can be understood as a complex and dynamic vibration whose changes arise spontaneously. The changes are not haphazard - they flow like a song, setting an underlying tone to the play of the universe and establishing a principle by which events are connected and have meaning. Were there no other influences, the world would unfold in perfect harmony with this song of Universal Power.

But the world abounds with competing influences, our own voices among them, and these can hide the underlying harmony. Universal Power behaves with such supreme modesty as to have the lightest touch of all powers. No power is softer. This guarantees that it can never be corrupted, for no other power has the lightness of touch to manipulate it, but it also means that it is overshadowed by every competing power. Universal Power serves as an omnipresent guide to harmony but never enforces that harmony.

By using our personal power judiciously we can avoid contributing to the clamour obscuring Universal Power. By developing an extreme delicacy of attention we can learn to perceive its song and we can participate in its harmony through an extreme delicacy of touch.


You are close to harmony with Universal Power at this time. Ensure your behaviour does not detract from its expression by avoiding the use of personal power.

This is an opportunity to refresh your familiarity with Universal Power by becoming so quiet as to hear its very soft song, and allowing its song to resonate in your own sympathetic activity.

If you are not able to be sufficiently quiet, search out a knowledge that leads to an understanding of delicacy of mind, and refrain from all activity at this time.




Universal Power is probably equivalent to the classical concept of Tao.

This interpretation of the hexagram is significantly different to a classical I Ching interpretation.
