No. 34, "The Power of the Great":

"Thunder in heaven above:
The image of The Power of the Great. Thus the superior man does not tread upon paths that do not accord with established order."

A time of Great Power has arrived. Your influence on others can be tremendous. The chief task, therefore, is to use this power wisely. The problem with Great Power is that we are tempted to use it solely for our own benefit, to "get ahead" or "reach the top" – or take control. The Yi reminds us that with Great Power comes great responsibility.
