Universal Observation

Viewing their birth. The Realizing Person makes no mistake. Look deeply into this connection and measure yourself against the ideal of the Realizing Person, who seeks to live life in accord with the flow. The spirit liberated now belongs with you like parts of a previously separated whole. The armies set out from here. Do not obstruct their power with old forms and outmoded ways of communicating or the group that is emerging will have no real purpose. Strip away your old ideas. Be open and provide what is needed.

上九, 觀其生, 君子无咎.

Contemplation of his life. The superior man is without blame. ##### Comments While the preceding line represents a man who contemplates himself, here in the highest place everything that is personal, related to the ego, is excluded. The picture is that of a sage who stands outside the affairs of the world. Liberated from his ego, he contemplates the laws of life and so realizes that knowing how to become free of blame is the highest good.
