Steven Karcher & Michael Servetus
If you have an office, deny it. There will be changes. Trial: Wise Words! The Way is open. Issue from the gate and mingle with others. There will be achievements.
Leave your old position and mingle with those beneath you. The connection is not complete but if you reach out you will all laugh together. Do not involve yourself in institutional corruption. Honor what is highest. Do not pause in your efforts to find the purpose of these changes. These goings and comings will release the energy now bound up in the past. Step outside the norms and re-imagine the situation. Gather energy for the decisive new move.
Richard Wilhelm
The standard is changing.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
To go out of the door in company
Produces deeds.

There are exceptional conditions in which the relation between leader and followers changes. It is implicit in the idea of following and adaptation that if one wants to lead others, one must remain accessible and responsive to the views of those under him. At the same time, however, he must have firm principles, so that he does not vacillate where there is only a question of current opinion. Once we are ready to listen to the opinions of others, we must not associate exclusively with people who share our views or with members of our own party; instead, we must go out and mingle freely with all sorts of people, friends or foes. That is the only way to achieve something.
