Mystic Window
Be on the lookout for complicated situations and remember that complex things are composed of simple things. Approach the complex with an eye towards this fact.
Recognize where you are over-extended and pull back to rectify the situation.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Rising storms darken the skies
But no rain falls as yet
On the old man gathering
The strength of gold, swords, and jewels.
Prepare, Storehouse, Truthfulness, Necessity,
Mysterious, Sincere
Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
Gather yourself
And return to the Tao Source of life.
Line 2
Allow your Qi to be drawn out above and below
Then return to the center place.
Line 3
Thirty spokes around a hub make it useful.
The movement of a circle activates the wheel.
Protect the Shen (Spirit) as the cart moves
forward.
Line 4
Manifest the Qi of conformity;
Invest in loss to shake the limbs, Encouraging the buds to emerge as new
growth.
Line 5
Harmonize the inner world with the outer world And shape yourself to the moment.
Thus, you will bind yourself to great riches Benefiting all those around you.
Line 6
Rest and abide within the Qi of falling rain
As a place of nourishment.
Embrace the Tao Source of life;
Preserve the Yang and
Reproach no one.
