Steven Karcher & Michael Servetus
Harmonizing People hide arms in the thickets. Ascend your high grave mound. For three years you will not rise up.
Retreat and prepare a countermove. This may seem like a disaster but if you move with it you can eliminate the old negativity. This is not the time for aggression or insistence on your ideas. Accumulate the strength to carry heavy loads and confront difficult situations. Proceed step by step. Gather energy for a decisive new move.
Richard Wilhelm
He hides weapons in the thicket;
He climbs the high hill in front of it.
For three years he does not rise up.

Here fellowship has changed about to mistrust. Each man distrusts the other, plans a secret ambush, and seeks to spy on his fellow form afar. We are dealing with an obstinate opponent whom we cannot come at by this method. Obstacles standing in the way of fellowship with others are shown here. One has mental reservations for one's own part and seeks to take his opponent by surprise. This very fact makes one mistrustful, suspecting the same wiles in his opponent and trying to ferret them out. The result is that one departs further and further from true fellowship. The longer this goes on, the more alienated one becomes.
