Mystic Window
Now is the time for introspection and action that is based on thoughtful and careful planning. Look to your own self for clues on how to react. What factors are motivating you at this time? Knowing yourself will prevent mistakes. It is vital for you to be aware of any external circumstances that are overtly influencing your decision-making process. Do not stop thinking too soon.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Tigers looking from below
Feel the movement of the wind
By resting in the valley
And watching the moment unfold.
Eyes, Contemplate, Inward, Bind, Pour,
Subdue
Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)

A child sees what others cannot.
Mystic wisdom is plain wisdom.
Complicated reasoning brings great regrets.

Look quietly and simply
Between obvious events
And divine the authentic Qi.

What kind of Qi presents itself?
Look to the life you surround yourself with.

Absorb the surrounding Qi.
Regard yourself as a visitor
In a strange land.
Be aware of the countryside.

Look inwardly for clues To outward events
And there will be no error.

And see them as your own.
Go deeper into the moment.

No errors will occur.
