Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

whats in my near future for tonight?
and received a response of:
20 Beholding
The Statement of the first hexagram
Behold! The hands have been washed,
but the offering has not yet been made.
Be sincere and dignified in appearance.
The changing lines
The first line:
Childish beholding is not wrong
for a common person, but it is wrong
for a superior person.
The third line:
Beholding my life:
advance or retreat?
The fifth line:
Beholding my life:
the wise person rids herself of faults.
The sixth line:
In beholding others' lives
the wise person allows no faults.
36 Smothered Light
The Statement of the second hexagram
Smothered light.
Gain is difficult: persist.
The Image of the first hexagram
The wind moving above
the earth: beholding.
The ancient kings
inspected the provinces
and territories to establish
the right teachings.
The Image of the second hexagram
Brilliance
in the earth's core:
smothered light.
The noble one
governs the multitude
by obscurity-
but with enlightenment.
