Mystic Window
Look for the opportunity lo expand the breadth of your activily and not the depth. focusing on one thing will bring confusion. Specialization is not the useful way for you to realize the best of the present situation. Do not be hasty or indecisive. Instead, wait for the precise moment to be enduring
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
As thunder and wind are joined, So are the sun and moon joined In a perpetual dance
And reflective life-long journey.
Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
Repeated digging accomplishes nothing.
The Qi is without purpose
And abundance is nowhere to be found.
Line 2
Embrace the Qi of openness And regrets will disappear.
Line 3
His morality is convenient and changeable.
This is disgraceful.
The soul entreats forgiveness for the penitent.
Line 4
No life can be found
Within the ground of being.
The field is devoid of game.
Line 5
His morality is fixed, constant, and fair.
This is laudable.
Intuition brings abundance;
Reasoning brings misfortune.
Line 6
Neither focused nor orderly
Shaky behavior brings calamity.
The Qi wanders and is confused.
