Hold on to your ideals, guide your life; stimulating words cheer and inspire; silent consent; leave the egg or bud; satisfaction through walking away; not the heart confined; cheer, delight, set out in words; strong intention fully expressed. You have all you need, if you try for more you will only see confusion and distress and lose what you have.
-->
Collect your forces, confront your fears, take the plunge. Hold fast to your heart and its growth. End the yin hemicycle by leveling and dissolving forms. Strong intention fully expressed, in the right time, profitably.

Make a transition to a new situation without delay, but without forcing matters. Pressure comes from relationships with others while emotions and insecurities run high. Carry out change gently and swiftly, without fear or anxiety. People will not always approve of your choices, but still do what is best for you now in the circumstances you alone face. Life is short and you cannot do everything. Listen to what others have to say, even if it is not what you want to hear. Ulterior motives bring humiliation, but sincere reaching out succeeds. --> Courage and devotion, summon up all your courage. Stand up for your beliefs and maintain your integrity. Safety lies not where you are but on the other side. Water in the gorge stops for nothing, pushing through every crack, never losing heart.

Through obstinacy one cuts oneself off from possible support. --> As water is constant in its flow, the chun tzu is constant in practice and teaching.
More than ever I am convinced that at least part of the power of the oracle is simply the time given to the meditation, but also in the grinding of the back and forth, like scales coming to settle, first this side lower, then that side. It is the multiple reversals and constant shifting of contexts, in the larger context of the question asked, which brings wisdom. The book is just a tool for the rock tumbler of the mind.
