Hexagram 29

by James Byrd

I.The Oracle 

A. Hexagram 29 is Kan or Gorge. Other interpretations include The Abysmal, Water and Repeated Entrapment. Its lower trigram is Kan: gorge or water, and so is its upper trigram.

   1. The Abysmal repeated.
   2. If you are sincere, you have success in your heart,
       And whatever you do Succeeds.

B. The Image

  1. Water flows on uninterruptedly and reaches its foal:
      a) The image of The Abysmal repeated.
      b) Thus the superior man walks in lasting virtue

           And carries on the business of teaching.

II. My interpretation Of The Abysmal
