Mystic Window
Look for a time to take stock of what you have and where you are going. We are all a collection of gifts and deficits and will act accordingly. Be aware of the difficulties that you encounter without succumbing to them. Be careful; danger is approaching.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Heavens hold the rain until needed
Waiting for the cloud's injunction
To release the dragon's tail And move earthward.
Drought, Prayer, Gather, Fortify, Halt,
Gravesite, Heaven's gate
Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
1. Embrace the Qi of heart and patience.
Wait contently in the frontier.
Waiting by the fast moving river
Brings the confusion of whispered voices, Amid strange and unrecognizable sounds.
Remain peaceful, calm, and relaxed.
Waiting in the mud steals your vitality.
Wading in the mud steals your mind.
Protect your blood and the middle heaven.
Stay within the Red Palace And shun the pit of self-sacrifice.
The Central Palace
Contains the distilled essence of mankind
Wait in the sacred space;
The correct moment is about to be revealed.
Descend into the earth.
Three unexpected wanderers will follow.
Honor their descent
With a sacrifice of spirit, vitality, and Qi.
