Hexagram 17
By: James Byrd
I.The Oracle
A. Hexagram seven-teen is called Sui, or Following. The lower trigram is Zhen: shake or thunder. The upper trigram is Dui: open, swamp or forest.
B. The Judgment
1. Following has supreme success.Perseverance furthers. No disruptions at the moment.
2. Good Sign. Sign of the Great Sacrifice.
C. The Image
1. The Lake is over Thunder:a) The image of Following.
b) Thus the superior man at nightfall
Goes indoors for rest and recuperation.

Or better yet, another way to look at it is to take, for example, the scene of the "Remo Williams" movie. In that movie we see a master humbling himself below that of the "Adapt," use that word sparingly, just to train "Remo Williams." I suspect you will, old boy.
