Yesterday he told me that his has a very serious health problem. What I know is that some doctors proposed immediate surgery but they can’t promise that will solve the problem or more important if it cause other problems because of the nature of the problem. Some others proposed medicine for the time being because of the great risk of the surgery.
The only question I could ask Yi was “what I need to know about his situation”, as a starting point to think and do what needs to be done from my side.
The answer I got was 15.4.5 > 31.
Hi Maria
May I ask you the time when you asked that question; and if the condition is recent or has been there for some time before?
best wishes
Hexagram 15, from the Oracle: "Noble one completes it – special qualities may be required to meet the challenge of this one. Noble one has integrity, is at one with himself and with reality, knows and doesn’t forget what is needed. Hence he is not distracted from the task at hand by either excess or lack of confidence. (Excess would lead to trying to do it all yourself – or assuming it would do itself for you; lack to giving up or waiting for someone else to tell you what to do.)"
I would assume here they are talking about "him", that he will need the qualities of the noble one to meet this challenge. He can give you your proper role in this, but you can't carry him through the experience.
What you need to know: Line 4, "Demonstrating, giving clear signs, making it explicit through action." You can make your feelings and caring explicit, even though you are not carrying him.
Line 5: Bradford suggest an idea of "integrity in struggle." Don't try to look good or stay cool, if he doesn't help you, you are entitled to get what you need, however you have to.

Sometimes the Yi authors used a couple of the line texts to clear up common misunderstandings about the general Gua theme. If you undestand Gua 15 in the usual sense of "Modesty" you get it way wrong. I translate it Authenticity instead, being uncompromisingly realistic, not falsely self-effacing.
In Line 5 it's saying that Qian is capable of firm and decisive action against an obstacle or a wrong.
Historically in old China there was an unwritten rule that in times of crisis you dropped all animosity and hostility and helped out your neighboring countries. This line refers to an incident where the neighbors stood by and watched the suffering, probably to improve its own position or in retribution. This established them as less than humane and worthy of disciplinary action or enforced change. I don't know if it was a particular incident. Maybe Freeman might want to suggest one.
But anyway, "Modestry" is allowed to make assumptions and take decisive action to turn things around to its own advantage.
I don't have the exact time but it was on Thuesday around 13:00-14:00.
The condition must be there for some time . He find out last June. For his own reason he did not reveal it immentiately.
Hi Maria
Is there any economical dificulty for the treatment? The money aspect is hidden, and the subject line (your friend) is active to seek/produce it. In any case, he may need to spend quite some money. And maybe is in that field where you can help
Seems like the illness is strong and active, even agressive, but also your friend is strong (is he young?).
Seems like he will be ok at the end, and surgery really could help him.
Best wishes
