Today: “Guilt and shame suggested from outside you are designed to keep you subservient to the status quo.” – from the I Ching

Guilt and shame suggested from outside you are designed to keep you subservient to the status quo.  They will kill your relationship with your soul.  Your conscience is there to guide you, not cause regret.  Be bold, self reliant.  Remake yourself in God’s image.  It’s OK if your vision makes people nervous.  Serve them, not their agenda.

#47, line 6, #10

This is the realm of the Shaman.
You have exhausted every alternative, spent yourself completely, taxed body and mind beyond your former limits.
Survival and salvation lie beyond your reach now.
Only transcendence to a new existence — a higher plane of being — will see you through.
The Old You is just a dry husk.
You can’t return to it.
Metamorphosis is the only grace offered.
You can only return to your homeland as a New You.

He feels tightly bound by no more than a few vines of ivy.
If he firmly resolves to break free, he will find he was held back by only his own guilt and fear.

You have reached a perilous point in your journey.
This is a real gamble — not a maneuver, not a calculated risk.
The outcome is uncertain.
If it goes as you hope, you will gain — but if it turns against you it will cause serious injury, at least to your plans.
The best tack is extreme caution and a healthy respect for the danger involved.
