Deliverance

Daily Hexagram

40: Deliverance

General Meaning:

After a thunderstorm, or any period of extreme tension, a period of new clarity and fresh opportunity follows. The storm has the effect of clearing the air and suddenly reducing atmospheric tension. Deliverance is at hand. In the wake of a storm on land, deliverance appears in the form of new color and life, which bursts forth in all the fields and flowers. In the wake of a storm at sea, deliverance takes the form of land itself.


In the field of human relations, the rain of forgiveness washes the human landscape clean after a period of conflict and enmity. Great clarity of purpose and renewed vigor can follow the healing of old wounds. But care must be taken not to re-open such wounds by moving too quickly. In the same way, it is important to return to normalcy before moving ahead with new plans after periods of stress.

'Deliverance' 

Following the resolution of a difficult situation, your first priority, should be to return to normal conditions as quickly as possible. Breathe a sigh of relief, but don't relax completely. It would be a mistake to re-awaken the sleeping dogs of the immediate past before the new situation has crystallized. Look ahead. Attend to any residual matters that need resolution, and do so as quickly as possible. Make a clean sweep of the past, move deliberately and the future will bring good fortune.

SO like I was saying with the lemons...the shit show that life dealt me (or I dealt myself?) has passed and is settling. There is a glimpse of the magic that is about to unfold (not that its not all magic... but you get where I am going). We experience pain and suffering only to be fully capable of knowing the experience of joy and love. ALL EXPERIENCE IS GROWTH and each are stepping stones to our HIGHEST FORM OF SELF.

Deliverance is the period where we can really sit back and observe; we must sit patiently and contented in each moment, blissfully aware of the power we hold within. Take the back seat and commend yourself for your hard work, the work that you do everyday. Sit in your faith and wait patiently for your lemonade... its coming.
