I Ching. Hexagram 4 is named 蒙 (méng), “Enveloping”.

IN THE MANIFESTED REALITY.
A beautiful mountain is under the blue sky. Now everything is calm. It seems that everything is so good. Illusion.
The huge sea is right under the mountain in the bowels of the Earth. Well-being is built on a very unstable and dangerous basis. Mountain stands on a mobile base, on the underground sea.
Water in the sea arrives all the time. A powerful flow of groundwater comes to the surface. The internal danger intensifies and begins to manifest itself in the form of concrete events.
The mountain is completely submerged in dangerous waters. All attention will be directed to solving current complex problems.
Where the mountain was before, dangerous waves will rage tomorrow. The internal danger intensifies and begins to manifest itself in the form of concrete events.
IN THE SUBTLE WORLD.
Tiny seeds of trees sprouted in the bowels of the Earth. A new life arises in the depths of the subconscious.
Sprouts, feeding on earth, tend to light. It seems that they have no chance to overcome the huge pressing thickness of the Earth. The obstacles will give force and will serve as a stimulus for taking possession of knowledge for growth.
It seems that they have no chance to overcome the huge pressing thickness of the earth. Obstacles are the customary dogmas. It is entirely unbelievable that the tiny sprouts are able to overcome all thickness of dogmas developed over the centuries.
There is really huge power in small sprouts. They quickly sprout (as thunder) through all thicknesses and come to the surface. A very powerful desire for light, for knowledge, for God will completely change the world of the subconscious.
Soon after all Earth will disappear under the mighty crown of greenwood. The life of new knowledge will flourish. Life-hamming dangerous stereotypes will be a thing of the past.
COMMON INTERPRETATION OF THE HEXAGRAM №4
Unconscious following the generally accepted standards is dangerous. Now it is necessary to use a calm situation for active self-awareness and enlightenment. Obstacles are generally accepted dogmas, stereotypes that have developed over the centuries. The obstacles are formidable and pose a serious threat. However, you will find strength in the oppression of these obstacles.
Overcoming will begin at a hidden, subconscious level. The key to resolving the situation is striving for light, overcoming ignorance, enlightenment (trees overcoming darkness).
