jmack asked:
how many past lives have i had?
and received a response of:
35 Advancing
The Statement of the first hexagram
Marquis Kang receives gifts
of many breeding horses,
welcoming them three times
in one day.
The changing lines
The first line:
Advancing halted.
Uprightness brings fortune, but no trust.
Be generous to be without fault.
The second line:
Advancing with worry.
Uprightness brings fortune.
Receive now the great blessings
of your grandmother.
The third line:
A loyal crowd.
Regret vanishes.
The fourth line:
Advancing like rodents.
Pure harshness.
26 Great Restraint
The Statement of the second hexagram
Gain by being upright.
Not eating at home brings fortune.
Advance across the great river.
The Image of the first hexagram
Brightness emerges above
the earth: advancing.
The noble one brightens
her own virtue.
The Image of the second hexagram
Heaven in the center of a
mountain: great restraint.
The noble one
frequently studies
the words and prophesies
of the past, and thereby
nourishes virtue.
