Deliverance

In confirmation of this judgment, consider the appearance of the image of Deliverance, which I have drawn for you from the I Ching Oracle. I think you will agree that the name of the image of Deliverance speaks for itself in today’s Reading. Together with the image of Preponderance of the Great, the response of the I Ching Oracle reflects your situation so clearly and directly. In the image of Preponderance of the Great, one sees a situation in which the burden of excessive responsibilities seems very nearly ready to collapse the whole structure of things as they are currently established. The image reflects the solitary loneliness that you feel under the weight of the burdens that you bear at this time. But you will be delivered from these burdens, and I hope you will never doubt it.

In the first of the verses that has been highlighted specifically by today’s Reading from the image of Deliverance, the oracle says “If a person carries a burden on her back and nonetheless rides in a carriage, she thereby encourages robbers to draw near. Perseverance leads to humiliation.” I see this verse as a recognition of what you gave up, or in essence what was taken from you, when you embarked on the career path that led you into your current job. The “burden” was not the accumulation of responsibilities under which you now labor. No. It was the array of inborn talents and interests that you were called to fulfill by your given destiny at birth. But you chose to ride in a “carriage,” perhaps not realizing the ramifications of that choice. While granting a certain comfort and ease in passage, a carriage comes at a price, and now you are experiencing the full extent of that price. Please do not suppose that I am adding the insult of blame to the pain that you feel in your position at this time. Who goes through life without making choices that would perhaps not be made with the benefit of greater experience and understanding. Besides, if we are foolish, the Universe usually provides for our enlightenment in due time. Thus, as the William Blake wrote, “the fool who persists in his folly shall become wise.” So long as we open our hearts to learning from life, there is no disgrace in being foolish. Is it not said that “God loves the fool”?

In the second of the verses that has been highlighted specifically by today’s Reading from the image of Deliverance, the I Ching Oracle says, “If only the superior person can deliver herself, it brings good fortune. Thus she proves to inferior people that she is in earnest.” This verse reminds you that you must fortify your own determination to be delivered from your current position. All around you, you may find people who are defeated by the circumstances of life. But the Great Spirit aims to demonstrate THROUGH YOU something about how deliverance comes to those who persevere through thick and thin in their determination to reach the goal that is written in their innermost heart. Your persistence in looking for a light that will lead you out of your present darkness will be rewarded. To give up the search for that light is to be confounded by the vicissitudes of life, but to persevere is to find one’s reward. This, at any rate, is my creed.
