Inner Truth
Hexagram 61 of the Yi Jing · 中孚 Zhōng Fú
The figure
Wind above the Lake: the breath rippling the water from within, what touches the deepest part. The image of inner truth, of the heart that resonates.
What this figure illuminates
Inner Truth lights up the strength of sincerity: what comes from an upright heart moves people, where calculation fails. You truly influence by what you are, not by what you display.
For a decision, the figure questions your inner rightness: “is what I'm about to do true for me, or am I playing a role that will ring false?”.
A question to keep
Is what you're about to do true for you?
