steveday asked:
what is the best way to govern myself in these next months creatively? I am considering residencies, light schooling, friendly collabs.
or fallowness?
and received a response of:
36 Smothered Light
The Statement of the first hexagram
Smothered light.
Gain is difficult: persist.
The changing lines
The fifth line:
The smothered light of Jizi:
gainful virtue.
63 Already Across
The Statement of the second hexagram
Already across. Continue.
Small gain: be steadfast.
In the beginning, fortune.
At the end, disorder.
The Image of the first hexagram
Brilliance
in the earth's core:
smothered light.
The noble one
governs the multitude
by obscurity-
but with enlightenment.
The Image of the second hexagram
Water on top of fire:
already across. The wise
one prepares for calamity
by forethought.
