Today: – ”Be aware of the inspiring, positive example you is setting for others to emulate.  Be the lighthouse.” – a reading from the I Ching

Be aware of the inspiring, positive example you is setting for others to emulate.  Be the lighthouse.

The gentle Wind roams the Earth:
The Superior Person expands his sphere of influence as he expands his awareness.  Deeply devoted to his pursuit of clarity and wisdom, he is unconscious of the inspiring, positive example he is setting for others to emulate.  You have cleansed yourself; now stand ready to make your humble, devout offering.
The situation marks a rising to new heights. As you climb for a better view of the panorama, you make yourself more conspicuous to those below.  This hexagram is also known as the Watchtower, because the shape formed by its lines resembles the ancient guardposts manned by Chinese soldiers.
These towers were placed on mountainsides to give a better vantage point.
To those below, the watchtowers served as landmarks to help them find their way.  The quality of your search for clarity in this situation serves as such a guidepost for others along the Way.
