what does he think of me?
  
  
    and received a response of:
  
  
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    36 Smothered Light
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Smothered light. 
Gain is difficult: persist.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The fifth line:
    The smothered light of Jizi: 
gainful virtue.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    63 Already Across
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Already across. Continue. 
Small gain: be steadfast. 
In the beginning, fortune. 
At the end, disorder.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    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
  
  
    Water on top of fire: 
already across. The wise 
one prepares for calamity 
by forethought.
