Mystic Window
Now is the lime to be aware of what others are saying about you. Be it praise or malicious gossip, listen dispassionately and try to determine what is really being said
"belween the lines." Obstacles are a natural part of advancement. Do not be bothered I by them. Be thankful for what you have already accomplished.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
The wind blows low over the mountaintops In small steps that become great strides.
From a lofty vantage point,
All things look new and small.
Glide, Float, Ascend, Watchtower, Cauldron, Wild goose, Timberline, Bottomland, Young growth
Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
Slander, gossip, and excessive speech
Damages the young soul.
Avoid them in order to avoid mistakes.
A wild goose flies to the shore.
Line 2
Seek the Qi
Of pleasure, nourishment, food, and drink.
Be happy, optimistic, and joyful.
A wild goose lands on a large rock.
Line 3
Seek the Qi
Of nourishment, safety, and comfort.
Protect yourself from the calamities that
approach.
A wild goose approaches barren land.
Line 4
Seek the Qi
Of completion to obtain success And there will be no miscalculation.
A wild goose flies toward treetops.
Line 5
Seek the Qi
Of stability, strength, and acceptance And all things will rest in peace.
Abundance will abound.
A wild goose lands on an ancestral tomb.
Line 6
Seek the Qi
Of ritual, music, and poetry
And rest within the heartbeat of the Tao.
A wild goose rests on dry land.
