The Image

Know what the world is like. Know your own feelings. Avoid rigidity. Follow the Way of Nature.


The Inside

Recognize a good thing when you have it. Pay attention! Be aware & flexible in order to avoid the worst of outcomes. Pay Attention! Be self-reliant, & take immediate action. Be aware. Do not spill the pot. Carelessness & laziness bring misfortune. Watch out! Assume responsibility before you take action. Good luck. You will get nowhere, unless you correct your mistakes. Keep on trying. Misfortune!


The Outside

Refrain for the time being from criticizing things as they are. Be aware. The Bees are practical. Content is more important than form. Great Good Fortune! The Dragon is a catalyst. Simply attend to your work. Be real. The Butterfly hides under a leaf. Be cautious when you meet adversaries. Pay attention! Eliminate problems by channeling the right people in the right directions. Get wise, & be careful! Modesty comes from an understanding of the world, & the Laws of Nature. Supreme Good Fortune.
