Narrow View

Viewing through the patterned screen. Advantageous if the women divine. Harvesting. Watch the hidden patterns and beware of falling into negative emotions. The knowledge proper to a great leader is approaching now. Articulate it quietly. Leave what usually supports you and flee to the hidden springs of change. Express yourself joyously and you can inspire others. Be open and provide what is needed.

Contemplation through the crack of the door. Furthering for the perseverance of a woman. ##### Comments Through the crack of the door one has a limited outlook; one looks outward from within. Contemplation is subjectively limited. One tends to relate everything to oneself and cannot put oneself in another's place and understand his motives. This is appropriate for a good housewife. It is not necessary for her to be conversant with the affairs of the world. But for a man who must take active part in public life, such a narrow, egotistic way of contemplating things is of course harmful.
