With no particular question in mind, I asked the yi to tell me what I should know or understand or be aware of. I am not sure how to read this answer precisely because I did not have a specific question.
Thank you for yor help
:rolleyes:

The I Ching says you should be aware that perseverance brings good fortune. If you go on quietly and perseveringly at the removal of resistance, success will come to you in the end.
However, you must also be aware that if you were to venture too far you'll come to a deadlock, unable to advance or to retreat in which case whatever you do will only complicate things further. If you see yourself acting in that way, compose yourself and don't continue then everything will right itself in time.
It would be good to strengthen your character by acquainting yourself with many sayings of antiquity and many deeds of the past.

34 The Power of the Great -> 26 The Taming Power of the Great
Interesting combination here :)

Hex 34(Wilhelm) says you have developed inner power, but you shouldn't flaunt it carelessly, keep it in check, use it wisely.
Line 4:
The obstructions give way and all occasion for remorse arising from excessive use of power disappears.
Such a man's power does not show externally, yet it can move heavy loads, like a big cart whose real strength lies in its axle. The less that power is applied outwardly, the greater its effect.

Again, use your power quietly and in good measure.

Line 6: warns you about using excessive power, you will get into a deadlock, like a ram entangled in a hedge.

If you follow the advice, you get to hex 26, The taming of power.
Store your energy, contain it.

The way to study the past is not to confine oneself to mere knowledge of history but, through application of this knowledge, to give actuality to the past.

Have you misused your power in the past?

Thank you Rosada and Ashteroid for your answers.
Although I had no particular question in mind, I am trying to make important change in my professional and personal life, so both interpretations fit my situation perfectly.
Have I misused my powerin the past? I believe I have, otherwise my current situation would not be as uncomfortable as it is today. Your answers help a lot because I will take it as a personal disaster if I stay stuck in the job and in the town where I currently live. I have put a lot of energy in my jobsearch recently, but to no avail and sometimes I tend to get frantic with that jobsearch.
Your posts are both encouraging and helpful. Thanks a lot.
