Inner Integrity becomes Innocence
What this change means
Thunder rolls beneath heaven, and nothing false remains: the second and fourth lines move, and the result is 25 Innocence. The fourth line weighs more. Strengthen your inner integrity through spiritual practice and move toward your goal confidently, without glancing back at what's been lost. The second line adds warmth: that same integrity calls kindred people to you, and they'll be generous. A clear direction and true companions; both grow from the same root. The resulting hexagram names that root. With a pure heart, free of hidden motives and true to what's right, you let heaven's blessings reach you. Anything false would bring obstacles. So keep it simple. Act from what you actually believe, share freely with those who answer you, and don't add calculation where sincerity is already doing the work.
