This is an excellent condensation of my own experiences with 36. "Wounding the light" doesn't really convey what's going on here -- one is consciously (or otherwise) hiding one's true affections. I spent quite a long spell seeing 36 > 24 on a daily basis -- numbers that have quite a specific meaning for american males of a certain generation. Who says the Yi doesn't have a sense of humor?The process of Darkening the Light is proactive: it is done deliberately, as a stratagem. Covert Intelligence, in fact, is a viable, literal translation of Ming Yi, and a couple of instances of its use are described in the lines. Disguise is used in the lines as well: a man feigning a limp, and a bird feigning a broken wing as a misdirection, and a prisoner feigning insanity (a reference to an historical Chinese Hamlet). Also useful here is the notion of banking the coals of a fire, reducing its rate of combustion, to allow the flame to last through the night.
