Don Killuminati asked:
Zhouyi, this is don Killuminati and my question to you, is: "Why am I so down and out and how can I get better? An enquiring mind would like to know. Thank you, don Killuminati.?
and received a response of:
36 Smothered Light
The Statement of the first hexagram
Smothered light.
Gain is difficult: persist.
The changing lines
The first line:
Smothered light in flight, hanging wings.
The wise one travels and has no food
for three days, but finds the destination:
the host responds.
15 Humility
The Statement of the second hexagram
Humility imbues.
The noble one gets completion.
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
Mountains in the middle
of the earth: humility.
The wise person
takes from the ample
to add to the meager,
weighing and balancing
fairly.
