rxmalan asked:
How should I proceed to create a zhenbook that will touch people's hearts and transform their minds to change their lives?
and received a response of:
63 Already Across
The Statement of the first hexagram
Already across. Continue.
Small gain: be steadfast.
In the beginning, fortune.
At the end, disorder.
The changing lines
The second line:
A wife loses her ornaments. Do not chase:
get them back in seven days.
The fourth line:
Leaking: caulk with rags.
The whole day: be on guard.
43 Decisiveness
The Statement of the second hexagram
Decisiveness. Proclaim in the royal court.
Trust in the commands. Be stern.
There will be severity.
Announce to your own city.
There is no gain in going to war.
Gain by having a place to go.
The Image of the first hexagram
Water on top of fire:
already across. The wise
one prepares for calamity
by forethought.
The Image of the second hexagram
Lake rising to heaven:
decisiveness. The noble one
bestows wealth
to those below
and shuns dwelling
on his own virtues.
