Sincere Connection

A connection to the spirit will carry you through. The Way is open. The cause for sorrow disappears. Open yourself to this influence and it will open a whole new world. Connect with others. Complete what has been started. You must confront the corruption of authority. Use praise to accomplish your task. You disarm your opponents and reclaim your own intelligence. Let your sense of position dissolve. Proceed step by step. Gather energy for a decisive new move.

九二, 孚兌, 吉, 悔亡.

Sincere joyousness. Good fortune. Remorse disappears. ##### Comments We often find ourselves associating with inferior people in whose company we are tempted by pleasures that are inappropriate for the superior man. To participate in such pleasures would certainly bring remorse, for a superior man can find no real satisfaction in low pleasures. When, recognizing this, a man does not permit his will to swerve, so that he does not find such ways agreeable, not even dubious companions will venture to proffer any base pleasures, because he would not enjoy them. Thus every cause for regret is removed.
