Steven Karcher & Michael Servetus
Shake comes bringing adversity, hungry souls and angry ghosts. A hundred thousand cowries lost. Climb the Nine Mounds. Do not pursue what has been lost. On the seventh day you will acquire it.
The fertilizing shock comes. You think you have lost something precious and are plagued by the remorse of the past. Do not grieve. Look at things from an independent perspective. Everything you lost will return of itself. When this is complete nothing can stop you. Let yourself be led and you can realize the hidden potential. Co-operate with the on-going process of change.

六二, 震來, 厲, 億喪貝, 躋于九陵, 勿逐, 七日得.
Richard Wilhelm
Shock comes bringing danger.
A hundred thousand times
You lose your treasures
And must climb the nine hills.
Do not go in pursuit of them.
After seven days you will get them back again.

This pictures a situation in which a shock endangers a man and he suffers great losses. Resistance would be contrary to the movement of the time and for this reason unsuccessful. Therefore he must simply retreat to heights inaccessible to the threatening forces of danger. He must accept his loss of property without worrying too much about it. When the time of shock and upheaval that has robbed him of his possessions has passed, he will get them back again without going in pursuit of them.
