Deliverance from Obstacles

Deliverance with no changing lines.  Deliverance is composed of the trigrams for danger and water within, K'an, and thunder and arousing and movement outside, Chen.  It means the removal of an obstacle.  With no changing lines it suggests several possible meanings.  One, the obstacle to be removed is of long standing.  Two, the obstacle that needs to be removed is related to our internal environment -- thoughts and beliefs that prevent us from achievement.  With no changing lines, it suggests self-examination because we may not have even identified the obstacle. Deliverance with no changing lines asks us to examine ourselves and environment to find whatever obstacles are hindering us so we can remove them. It could also mean that the obstacle represents a fundamental challenge that cannot be changed but needs to be accepted. The I Ching often suggests that the Tao operates in non-linear ways; we could be too stubborn to see that we are heading into obstacles that cannot be overcome, that we need to change our approach, perhaps by taking an indirect tack.
