Mystic Window
Look for opportunities to engender trust in others and reaffirm your own moral sense. Do not work on your own. Be wary of unethical people and seek to avoid them. Associate with people of upright character that conduct themselves accordingly.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Fires touching the sky
Remind us that our paths
Are both the same and not the same.
Only the collected mind can be exposed.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
A gathering of men seek orderBefore entering the gate.Qi moves in freelyAnd condenses to the bones of eachWithout any difficulty.
Line 2
A gathering of men seek orderWithin a confined space.The Qi is not harmonious.
Line 3
Contentious Qi gathers in the underbrush. It moves upward In groupings of three There is no nourishment.
Line 4
Seck high ground.Qi moves Heavenward Carrying you to safety.
Line 5
A gathering of men begins with Cries and wails.It ends with fellowship and laughter.The Great Host harmonizes the Qi And creates success.
Line 6
Go into the wilderness;Seek the Qi of nature And the harmony of the Tao.
