Gorge, Repeated Entrapment
Plunged into repeated objective dangers, maintain internal sincerity and heart alignment to master the situation.
Water flows uninterrupted, filling every deep chasm before moving onward; emulate this by pacing your character.
Changing Lines๐
Line 1๐
Becoming completely habituated to danger, you fall deeper into the pit; a wrong response to adversity leads to misfortune.
Line 2๐
The abyss is dangerous; strive only for small, incremental escapes rather than forcing an immediate total victory.
Line 3๐
Forward or backward brings danger; trapped in a structural impasse, halt to wait for an opening or external relief.
Line 4๐
A jug of wine, a bowl of rice, handed through a window; simple, honest relationships outperform formal presentations in crises.
Line 5 โ ๐
Ruling line. The water fills the pit only to the brim; the peak danger is flattening out, and the crisis will soon resolve naturally.
Line 6๐
Bound with cords and placed in a dark prison; missing the path of integrity in a crisis brings long-term misfortune.
