「明君賢將，所以動而勝人，成功出於眾者，先知也。」

"What enables the wise sovereign and the good general to strike and conquer, and achieve things beyond the reach of ordinary men, is foreknowledge."

☯ Metaphysical Application

In Divination: Da Liu Ren and Qi Men Dun Jia are the ultimate "spies" into the unseen realms. They provide the "foreknowledge" (Xian Zhi) necessary to act appropriately before material forces have coalesced.
