RIP Reza Lotfi

His talent got better with age

I Ching and coincidence : this morning, I got hexagram 22 and 47 4/6 : talk about white, clarity, white hairs, aged person, beauty, purity, end, exit.

I Ching and coincidence : this morning, I got hexagram 22 and 47 4/6 : talk about white, clarity, white hairs, aged person, beauty, purity, end, exit.

That is what I need - an I Ching reading

I have a serious problem:

2 friends whom I am helping
I thinks he is far cleverer than the other
Other one is actually the most intelligent
They are not sharing information with each other
I want to bang their heads together

Musicians often become better with age

Politicians just become more arrogant

35 : PROGRESS

1 : Progressing, but turned back.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
If one meets with no confidence, one should remain calm.
No mistake.

At a time when all elements are pressing for progress, we are still uncertain whether in the course of advance we may not meet with a rebuff. Then the thing to do is simply continue in what is right; in the end this will bring good fortune. It may be that we meet with no confidence. In this case we ought not to try to win confidence regardless of the situation, but should remain calm and cheerful and refuse to be roused to anger. Thus we remain free of mistakes.

Advice
His feet are fastened in the stocks,
So that his toes disappear.
No blame.
If a sentence is imposed the first time a man attempts to do wrong, the penalty is a mild one. Only the toes are put in the stocks. This prevents him from sinning further and thus he becomes free of blame. It is a warning to halt in time on the path of evil. :

6 : Making progress with the horns is permissible
Only for the purpose of punishing one's own city.
To be conscious of danger brings good fortune.
No blame.
Perseverance brings humiliation.
Making progress with lowered horns–i. e. , acting on the offensive–is permissible, in times like those referred to here, only in dealing with the mistakes of one's own people. Even then we must bear in mind that proceeding on the offensive may always be dangerous. In this way we avoid the mistakes that otherwise threaten, and succeed in what we set out to do. On the other hand, perseverance in such overenergetic behavior, especially toward persons with whom there is no close connection, will lead to humiliation.

Advice :

Deluded enthusiasm.
But if after completion one changes,
There is no blame.
It is a bad thing for a man to let himself be deluded by enthusiasm. But if this delusion has run its course, and he is still capable of changing, then he is freed of error. A sober awakening from false enthusiasm is quite possible and very favorable.

Thank you very much

Very deep - I will have to ponder
