By: James Byrd

I.The Oracle

A. Hexagram 2 is Kun or Field. Additional variations include The Receptive, Acquience or the Flow. Hexagram 2's lower trigram is field or earth, and its upper trigram is identical.

To forego friends in the east and north.
Quiet perseverance brings good fortune.

Carries the outer world.

B. The Judgment

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
