Hexagram 63 - What attitude should I have towards Sae san in my Memoir?

Hello all. Writing my spiritual memoir 'Chasing Happiness'. I followed a spiritual path - a blend of Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism for 15 years and at times I felt I was walking on thin ice. Now that I'm writing about that experience, I asked the Yi what attitude should I have towards the senior Japanese sanyasin who moulded it (mostly). Many of the things she said to me then are not at all in the spirit of The Buddha, but I create my world. Everyone is our teacher and the kindest are the toughest. The Yi gave me hexagram 63. No moving lines.

Any suggestions? I don't think they'll appreciate my memoir (if they ever come across it), but then I did take the permission of Chief Guruji years ago to write about my experience with the path. I kept journals so the dialogue etc. is perfectly authentic.

Thank you!
