The Oracle is VII 3:46. "Let me smother them with my roses!" (Note the context v. 45 in connection with the entry of Herschel into Aries March 31.)
The Yi King symbol is [I Ching hexagram] LIV Kwei Mei. The Spirit brooding on the Waters: the beginning of the Creative Movement: unlikely subversions.

Wilbur. Some people are respectable, and some are respected: but you can't have it both ways.
What shall I do as to the Yi King proposal, and what will be the issue? I demand in the name of Aiwass a Message from the Gods. [I Ching hexagram] LX Fang. [P.S. Failed, through not getting associate.]
Thwan. Take the attitude of the Master.
1. Work with an associate. Or, to obtain one. 2. Be very serious and silent. See clearly the sky by hiding yourself. Deal only with really big people. Never invite advances. Be sincerely sympathetic, or refuse consultation. 3. Increase this attitude. People may dislike advice, and injure you: but this will not affect your truth. 4. Success brings the partner prophesied in line 1. 5. The result of all will be fame. You will be sought by many great persons. Immediate matters are settled, retire from the scene of the catastrophe.
