It seems to me that 1) events are closing in from all sides to pressure the RFK Jr. campaign to change course. It also seems that 2) the hand of a higher power is at work, so that globalists have unwittingly outsmarted themselves, to the campaign’s long-term benefit . . . and ours.

Here I’ll explain what I mean by this, and then look to the I Ching for feedback.

Bottom line, the idea Nicole Shanahan expresses of joining forces to create a Unity Party — something different and better then just the Republican machine — has wonderful potential!

First, events are closing in from all sides to pressure the RFK Jr. campaign to change course. On one hand, financially draining lawfare overseen by biased judges is being waged to squeeze Kennedy off the ballot in numerous states. On the other, lies spewed at the DNC are drawing attention to the stark contrast between Trump and Harris. Shanahan emphasizes that, whatever mistakes Trump may have made during his presidency, he is basically sincere. His opponents are the extreme opposite. The consequences tipping the electoral balance in favor of a Harris (Obama-driven) presidency are becoming too appallingly dangerous to risk.

Second, the hand of a higher power is at work. Globalists have unwittingly outsmarted themselves, to Kennedy’s long-term benefit . . . and ours. By fighting a war of attrition rather than of ideas, Democrats have set the natural law of diminishing returns in motion. By exhausting Kennedy financially, not to mention humanly, they might well unintentionally push him into Trump’s camp. Though up to the present time, the value and benefits of running separately have been great, they’re now maxed out.

Briefly put, at this point, cooperation of both camps could well produce results above and beyond the sum of their separate parts. Being obliged to change course would not be, as it might seem, a defeat, but a blessing in disguise.

I queried the Book of Change, asking “What is the wisdom and potential outcome of the Kennedy-Shanahan team joining forces with Trump?”

The original answer was Hexagram 1, CREATIVE POWER, with changing lines in the second and third places, resulting in the final outcome of Hexagram 25, CLARITY.

The fundamental situation looks like this:

To my mind, this reading confirms my initial sense that a higher power is at work, moving circumstances to a destined, preordained outcome. “Unity is Power!”

But the underlying situation is fluid, with potentials for dynamic change. The advice of the changing line in the second place reads, “The example of creative friends gives inspiration. Seek worthy company.”

In this case, the creative example might come from Shanahan and Kennedy, adjusting to pressure by opting to create a Unity Party. As to who is the worthy company might be, between Harris and Trump, Trump is the clear choice!

When the advice is heeded, it results in Hexagram 13, COMMUNITY, which reads:

Commitment to COMMUNITY is a necessary part of individual growth. Choose leaders who can express common goals with clarity. They will know how to assign work according to ability so that all prosper. In the harmonious community, Creative Power expresses through the skillful work of individuals. Avoid all selfishness.

Moving on, the advice of the changing line in the third place reads, “Conserve your energy. Use it to benefit yourself and others.” This would seem to address the law of diminishing returns, and the value of adjusting accordingly. When the advice is heeded, it results in Hexagram 10, CONDUCT, which reads:

In stressful situations, your CONDUCT will determine the outcome of your efforts. Do not let negative or unpleasant people affect your own balance. Respond to the demands of others according to the quality of their motives rather than acting impulsively. Play by the rules of the game. Avoid becoming emotional.

The combined result of the changing lines produces the final outcome which looks like this:

At first glance, I conclude that letting go of attachment to the initial plan to win the election outright is the intuitively correct and ultimately beneficial result of going with the flow in a difficult situation.

There you go.
