what is the real reason they are doing that?
and received a response of:
11 Prospering
The Statement of the first hexagram
Prospering: the vile goes,
the great comes.
Fortune. Continue.
The changing lines
The second line:
Encompass the wasteland by crossing the river
without a boat, but do not advance so far
that you abandon comrades to perish.
Win honor by a middle course.
36 Smothered Light
The Statement of the second hexagram
Smothered light.
Gain is difficult: persist.
The Image of the first hexagram
Heaven and earth combine:
prospering.
The empress uses wealth
to fulfill the way
of heaven and earth.
She supports the order
of heaven and earth for
people on all sides.
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.
