The Second Day After the Election - The Oracle Speaks

On the first day after the election - it was quiet. People spoke in
subdued tones. Some wept.

It felt like the day after 9/11.

I went from anger to despair - and then back to anger. I wondered if
the day after the German Election of 1934, when Hitler and the Nazi
came into power, was like this.

I understood why a little less than half the popular voter voted for Trump. And yet, it seemed like many had
chosen for racism, intolerance, evil - just like 1934.

On the second day after the election, I consulted with the Ancient
Oracle - The I Ching - The Book of Changes.

I asked The Oracle: What would come from this election? - How should a
person conduct themselves in these times?

The Oracle answered with the hexagam Chen/ The Arousing (Shock,
Thunder), with a moving line in the fifth place that changes the
hexagram to Sui/Following.

THE IMAGE OF CHEN

Thunder repeated: the image of SHOCK.
Thus in fear and trembling
The superior person sets their life in order
And examines themselves

The Oracle advises that one master their fear, and keep their composure.

It advises that one adapt to the changed circumstances, adapt to the
times without relinquishing principle.

It advises consistency in doing right
