Mystic Window
Now is the time to avoid insincerity and selfishness. The energy of change beckons you to get moving, without delay. Do not become distressed or disheartened even if situations seem ominous or desperate. Stay upbeat. If you maintain a compassionate and optimistic disposition, then you will succeed.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
The power of the wind is supported by the sounds of thunder.
Great journeys always begun with simple steps,
Tell us to confidently cross the great stream And penetrate the moment like an arrow.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
Taking advantage of unfortunate circumstances
And the misfortune of others Will be very profitable.
Hard work accomplishes much.
Embrace the Qi of confident determination.
Line 2
The greatest gift is continuous insight
Into the inner workings of men.
The king offers thankful sacrifices
To the Tao Source of life.
Line 3
Take advantage of unfortunate circumstances
And there will be no mistake.
Walk from the Lower Heaven with confidence And keep to the centered Tao path.
Influence brings abundance.
Line 4
Follow the middle path
And influence follows.
Moving the seat of power and authority
Creates advantageous Qi.
Trust the relocation.
Line 5
A kind heartmind is sincere.
A compassionate heartmind is uplifting.
Do not question the arrival of abundance.
Rather, keep to excellent exceptionalism.
Line 6
A man's reach should exceed his grasp.
But only if he has a peaceful heartmind.
Without the restraint of peace
He will suffer a loss of abundance.
