Communicate Openly

Not announcing the omen. Trap! Completing things like this will close the Way. If you do not communicate your message you will be cut off and isolated. The inspiring force retreats to the underworld waters. Do not keep pushing on blindly. Sacrifice your immediate desires and let your ideas circulate. You are connected to a creative force.

上六, 无號, 終有凶.

No cry. In the end misfortune comes. ##### Comments Victory seems to have been achieved. There remains merely a remnant of the evil resolutely to be eradicated as the time demands. Everything looks easy. Just there, however, lies the danger. If we are not on guard, evil will succeed in escaping by means of concealment, and when it has eluded us new misfortunes will develop from the remaining seeds, for evil does not die easily. So too in dealing with the evil in own's own character, one must go to work with thoroughness. If out of carelessness anything were to be overlooked, new evil would arise from it.
