The Book Of Changes Insight

No. 36,
Darkening of the Light:

"Darkening of the Light. In adversity It furthers one to be persevering."

" . . . here a man of dark nature is in a position of authority and brings harm to the wise and able man." Wilhelm

Okay - we're going to assume here that you are the "wise and able man." Who is the Yi warning you about? Having received this message just a week ago, you obviously need to continue to be on guard around someone who has some authority or power over you.

"A correct attitude is most important. If we fight against the darkness, we are swallowed by it and suffer great misfortune. If we try to persuade others that they must return to the light, we exhaust ourselves in vain." Brian Browne Walker Are you being combative? Are you wearing yourself out, trying to get someone to change their ways?

The Yi is trying to tell you: You aren't going to win this one. Face facts and move on.
