Mystic Window
Look for an opportunity to gain new knowledge and experience. This may mean cooperating impartially with others. Take a relaxed view of the world and allow things to unfold naturally.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Rain clouds resting on thunder
Like a dragon's blanket
Define the boundaries of all things
Moved to growth.
Clouds, Grass, Gather, Assemble, Ground, Newborn, Seeds, Shallow water
Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
The Qi, initially blocked by a pillar of stone And sacred tree,
Flows around the obstacles And seeks rest and guidance In the company of friends.
Line 2
Moving forward
Requires the momentum of Gathered strength and gathered Qi.
Turn the horses, turn your hands in the clouds, Turn your very nature.
Line 3
Ride the wild forces of nature
As if you were in a soldier's procession.
Unite the Qi of individual gifts And float on spacetime.
Line 4
The Qi of emergence must remain small Or the beginning will collapse of its own weight.
Line 5
The spirit, force, and Qi Of the natural world
Splits apart.
Disunity prevails.
Line 6
Qi moves in and out of the forest's heart.
Do not enter without a guide and pathfinder.
