Why sis he back pedal after making that statement?
and received a response of:
51 Thunder
The Statement of the first hexagram
Thunder everywhere.
Thunder comes frighteningly.
People laugh and exclaim.
Thunder terrifies for one hundred miles,
but do not lose the ladle
of sacrificial wine.
The changing lines
The first line:
Thunder brings fright and terror.
Afterward, laughter and talk: ha ha.
Fortune.
The second line:
Thunder comes harshly.
Countless treasures lost.
Climb up nine mounds. Do not pursue.
In seven days: recovery.
The third line:
Thunder: awake, awake!
Shaking without injury.
32 Constancy
The Statement of the second hexagram
Constancy is to continue
without fault.
Gain through purity.
Gain by having a place to go.
The Image of the first hexagram
Continuous thunder
on thunder.
The noble one examines
his morals
in fear and dread.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder and wind:
constancy.
The noble one stands
without changing direction.
