# Weekly I Ching - October 27  2024

### **Summary**

This week is one for Joy, but what does that word really mean? The I Ching tells us that “_true joy rests on firmness and strength within, manifesting itself outwardly as yielding and gentleness_”. This differs slightly from the modern image of a state which can at times resemble uncontrolled cheer. Joy must spring from within. Joy is a chilled out demeanour, and it cannot come from external pleasure (though external pleasure rocks when experienced in a state of joy, don’t get me wrong).

Avoid the modern trap of filling your time with empty entertainment, and seek that true joy this week. Breakthroughs are coming in November.

### **Closing remarks**

The third line in change gives us hexagram 43, _Kuai_, as an echo. This is known as “_Break-through”_, and refers to a time when the influence of inferior people gradually begins to disappear. I wonder if anything is happening next week that this could be in reference to…

Blessings to you all.
