Hello Fellow Seekers,

I just got accepted as a writer by a highly maligned site - essaywriters.net. There are tons of complaints on the net regarding this site. So when I asked the Yi what if I write for them and got hex 39 lines 1, 5 and 6 moving I was totally confused. Line 1 is a definite no - stay where you are but the top lines speak of help from friends and success. So where am I now? At line 1? Gotta make up my mind fast.

Any help much appreciated!

Best for Your Quest

only a quick thought . .

The image of 39 says

Water on the mountain: image of OBSTRUCTION.
Thus the superior man turns his attention to himself
And molds his character


that sounds like it's saying that working under turbulent leadership will leave you to your own integrity, maybe having to prove or defend your own reputation and work. The XORing hex that runs thru your reading is 42 . . maybe the experience would be character shaping but do you feel there's enough reason for you to go through it?


wish you well

39.1.5.6

When in doubt, look at line 5 -- that's usually the ruler. 1 and 6 are peripheral to the central issue.

39.5: "Nine in the fifth place means:
In the midst of the great obstructions,
Friends come.

"Here we see a man who is called to help in an emergency. He should not seek to evade the obstructions, no matter how dangerously they pile up before him. But because he is really called to the task, the power of his spirit is strong enough to attract helpers whom he can effectively organize, also that through the well-directed co-operation of all participants the obstruction is overcome."

Resultant 22: Grace.

"Fire at the foot of the mountain:
The image of GRACE.
Thus does the superior man proceed
When clearing up current affairs.
But he dare not decide controversial issues in this way."

A few thoughts -- A difficult decision, and you seem to be going in with your eyes open to the problems. Should you go forward, you might do a creditable job of it despite the obstacles, attract some kindred spirits, decorate your resume. But take a good long look before committing....

The purpose of essaywriters is to provide cheat essays for highschool and college students, yes? Can't you find something better to do? Judging from complaints, what will be obstructed is your pay.

Looking at just the hexagrams and not the lines (sometimes doing that seems to make sense), it could mean that for you, any "Difficulties" (hex 39) would be "Superficial (hex 22). I've never heard of this site, but is it "highly maligned" because students use it to cheat in school, to buy papers and so forth? "Superficial difficulties" might just mean that even if the site somehow gets in trouble, you won't get in trouble personally.

How easily and quickly could you stop working for the site, if you decide you don't like it?

I looked at the book The Classic of Changes, as interpreted by Wang Bi and translated by Richard John Lynn, which says this about line 5:

To one in great Adversity friends will come. {Of those located at a time of Adversity, Fifth Yang is the only one situated right in the middle of danger, so it represents the greatest of troubles. This is why the text says "great Adversity." However, it abides in such a way that it does not stray from rectitude and treads a path that does not stray from the Mean. This one's grip on virtue is long lasting; he never lets his moral integrity vary. To such a person as this comrades will indeed gather, and this is why the text says: "Friends will come."}

(The funny braces - "{ }" - are in the book. I copied exactly!)

You are probably the one referred to, with the morals and integrity :). I don't know what it all means in terms of advice, but I thought it was a good passage to share with you.

Oh gosh. I just saw Pocossin saying they have a reputation for not paying people. NOT GOOD AT ALL! :eek:. And also that it is a "paper mill."

Maybe the reading could be that how you relate to this is hex 22-ish, but how it will be in reality is hex 39-ish. I don't know.

I just did a Google search of this company -- which I probably should have done before shooting off above.

No harm done, Elias. Your reading is thoughtful and well written. My opinion is that we must trust the querent to act prudently with any advice we give.

Thank you everyone. There is one lady who says she's doing well and provides screenshots of her Paypal payments. The pay isn't so good though generally - I'm used to $10 for 500 words and of course there's the integrity business. I suppose it's only for desperados. Think I'll pass. And I learned something new - look at line 5 the ruler. Wonderful.

Best for Your Quest!
