The Image

Know the world you live in. Be aware of what people think. Use imagination. Become the Spiritual Light.


The Inside

The Dragon does not waste time. Correct trouble before it does harm. Think! Wait until everything is in order before proceeding. Think! The Fool depends upon force. The Wise cultivate equikibrium. Meditate. Be a hermit, until you can organize your life, and clear your mind. No blame. Recruit people of proven ability, and allow them to organize within their fields without interference. Be wise. Go for it! Eliminate disruptive influences who cannot learn from mistakes. Be decisive!


The Outside

There is no blame in being friendly with your neighbors, if you mind your own business. Pay attention. Contain difficulties within a small sphere. Get smart! Accept responsibility for your mistakes. Be Sensible! For the time being, overcome difficulties by adapting to them. No blame. When you find the company you are seeking, introduce yourself with a gift. Great Good Fortune! If you brag about what you are going to do, you probably will never get around to it. Misfortune.
