2025: Step Lightly, Little Fox

The Final Hexagram on the Final Day

With the I Ching sitting on the Brickhouse desk, yesterday December 31 the Ontology kinda smacked the Dispatch upside the head to consult the Oracle in regards to the New Year. Not a personal reading but a collective one, with a simple query: What can Humanity expect in 2025?

The reply was fitting, prescient and intriguing, as usual. For the first time in the Dispatch's long experience consulting the Oracle, it gave in reply Hexagram 64, the very last one of the Book. Here is the Wilhem/Baynes translation of the original text (emphasis by Dispatch):

Hex. 64 Wei Chi, Before Completion

BEFORE COMPLETION. Success.

But if the little fox, after nearly completing the crossing,

Gets his tail in the water,

There is nothing that would further.

The conditions are difficult. The task is great and full of responsibility. It is nothing less than that of leading the world out of confusion back to order.

But it is a task that promises success, because there is a goal that can unite the forces now tending in different directions. At first, however, one must move warily, like an old fox walking over ice. The caution of a fox walking over ice is proverbial in China. His ears are constantly alert to the cracking of the ice, as he carefully and circumspectly searches out the safest spots. A young fox who as yet has not acquired this caution goes ahead boldly, and it may happen that he falls in and gets his tail wet when he is almost across the water. Then of course his effort has been all in vain. Accordingly, in times "before completion," deliberation and caution are the prerequisites of success.

This hexagram resonates bigly with the new POTUS coming in next month. Those who voted him hope he will lead them out of the current confusion of the globalist 5th generation warfare on Humanity -even if they don't recognize it as such- and its weaponized collectivist woke mind virus.

However, the term 'out of confusion back to order' sets off a warning light in the headbone of bona fide tinfoil hatters. We know this concept as the globalist motto 'ordo ab caos' or 'order from chaos'. In the globalist playbook this refers to the Hegelian 'problem, reaction, solution' strategy which they use to 'nudge' the masses into surrendering their essential Liberty in exchange for temporal Safety.

So the question is, whose order are we moving towards? An order that benefits Humanity, or one that benefits the globalists who think they own us all?

We need to look at the moving lines for more clues. These are specific nuances related to the question, and they also serve to give us the future hexagram ie where the situation is heading chronologically in the natural flow of change.

One important point to keep in mind when interpreting hexagrams is understanding the dynamics of change in Taoism. There is the One (Tao), the Two (Yin and Yang), the Three (Yin and Yang + Man) and the Ten Thousand Things (everything else). The Oracle shows us which direction the natural flow of change is moving in; however the future outcome is not set and indeed can be changed by the action of Man, who can choose to go with the Flow or against it. That's why every hexagram comes with instruction on what to do or refrain from doing in order to stay in the natural flow of change. The final choice, as always, is ours.

In this reply, the hexagram has moving lines in the first and fifth place. The first moving line is the old Yin (6) at the bottom (beginning) of the hexagram:

Six at the beginning means:

He gets his tail in the water.

Humiliating.

In times of disorder there is a temptation to advance oneself as rapidly as possible in order to accomplish something tangible. But this enthusiasm leads only to failure and humiliation if the time for achievement has not yet arrived. In such time it is wise to spare ourselves the opprobrium of failure by holding back.

This is a good example of how Man can affect outcomes by non-action. Let us imagine for example that the incoming POTUS makes some controversial decisions at the start of his term and gets beaten down and humiliated by congress and/or the courts. This is actually a fairly predictable scenario given the current state of panic in the swamp as the Orangeman Blossom Special comes chugging down that railroad track. If, however, POTUS makes an effort to hold back and bide his time ('deliberation and caution'), none of that will ever happen.

The second moving line is another old Yin (6) in the fifth tier of the hexagram:

Six in the fifth place means:

Perseverance brings good fortune.

No remorse.

The light of the superior man is true.

Good fortune.

The victory has been won. The power of steadfastness has not been routed. Everything has gone well. All misgivings have been overcome. Success has justified the deed. The light of a superior personality shines forth anew and makes its influence felt among men who have faith in it and rally around it.

The new time has arrived, and with it good fortune. And just as the sun shines forth in redoubled beauty after rain, or as a forest grows more freshly green from charred ruins after a fire, so the new era appears all the more glorious by contrast with the misery of the old.

Well alrighty then! That sounds about as grand as any outcome in the Book. But all that talk of 'new time' and 'new era' sounds sorta like the 'new whirled odor' the globalists keep talking about. So again we're left with reasonable doubt as to what side or faction wins this victory, or who the 'superior personality' is. POTUS? Well, not even his detractors can deny that he's a persistent sonofagun. His election victory is proof enough of that. But 'Success has justified the deed'? What kind of deed are we talking about and why does it need to be justified...?

Let's keep digging. The two old Yin (6) lines turn into their opposite young Yang (7) lines to give us the future hexagram, ie what comes after Hexagram 64 in this particular case:

FUTURE Hex. 10 Lü / Treading

TREADING. Treading upon the tail of the tiger.

It does not bite the man. Success.

The situation is really difficult. That which is strongest and that which is weakest are close together. The weak follows behind the strong and worries it. The strong, however, acquiesces and does not hurt the weak, because the contact is in good humor and harmless.

In terms of a human situation, one is handling wild, intractable people. In such a case one's purpose will be achieved if one behaves with decorum. Pleasant manners succeed even with irritable people.

Let's consider this hexagram in the context of the situation that preceded it, the 'victory won' and the 'new time' that has arrived. Following said victory, now 'the weak follows and worries the strong'. The weak is referring to 'wild, intractable people'. So who are these people? In the POTUS scenario, they could be the same ankle-biters that have been hounding him since first ran in 2016. Maybe people suffering from late-stage woke virus possession.

But if so, something major will have changed, because 'the contact is in good humor and harmless', which hardly sounds like the orangemanbad echo chamber. One cannot easily imagine 'decorum and pleasant manners' doing anything to the deranged TDS wingnuts except to trigger them even more.

So what gives? Well, it is still too soon to tell. We will be coming back to this post as the year progresses to see how the Oracle's predictions stand. From experience, here at the Brickhouse we expect the predictions to hold, but not necessarily in the way we foresee right now. 2025 has a lot of potential novelty moving into the event horizon, including but not limited to the opening of the closed system of planet Terra. Better said, the awareness that our planet has not been a closed system for a long time, hidden by the lies of the powers that be, soon the POWers to Be. Gitmo's waiting for them, at least until the war crimes tribunals are over. Then they get to meet Jack Ketch!

As for the doubts that arise when interpreting the Oracle's reply in terms of who or what will emerge victorious in 2025, let us take a moment to consider one final factor: the question. The key to making sense of the reply lies in crafting queries which are as clear and concise as possible. Complicated questions with loose ends lead to replies which seem to make no sense as the Oracle responds to subconscious or hidden aspects of the question.

The question posed here was 'what can Humanity expect in 2025?' So we have a subject -Humanity- and a time frame, 2025. By Humanity the Dispatch is referring to everyone except the globalist reptile worshippers who deny their human condition. So the 'success' and 'victory' belongs to us, not to them. Indeed Hexagram 64 mentions there is a goal that can unite the forces now tending in different directions. This is obviously not referring to the globalist parasites, who are already united in their single goal of dominance, but to the rest of Humanity divided and conquered by partisan politics and bullshit ideologies.

Finally, as a thanks to you who has read thus far in this long-winded first post of the year, the Dispatch wants to share some of the wisdom from the Cafe au Soul online Oracle. Cafe au Soul uses original interpretations written for a modern audience, making it more intuitive and accessible. The Brickhouse recommends this online resource to anyone interested in exploring the power of the Oracle in an easy and engaging way.

Here are a few excerpts from their commentary on future Hexagram 10 Lü / Treading which are applicable to all of us as individuals. Read it in full here.

Discover the pleasure of treading in a world that speaks to you.

At some point in our journey, we begin to wonder about our life path. We look for meaning and notice the signs around us, paying attention to our dreams and flashes of insight.

Our footsteps become more cautious and we become more self reflective. Each individual has an entirely different purpose, so looking to the path of others might get you lost.

Lü is a hexagram that brings up issues related to what you are doing and why. It asks you to look at where you are going and to focus on your footsteps and motivations. It suggests a Cautious Advance because where you are going you have never gone before.

Each day is a piece of a puzzle, a gift that will unmask your character and reveal your destiny. The Tiger of emotion or fear only bites when you run from it or try to cage it. Set it free.

You know what the world that speaks to you is? It's us, the Ontology.

Step lightly, we're on our Way...

Happy New Year.

Dispatch out.
