Seeking Inspiration

Shaking the Jaws, clearing the channels, rejecting the rules. Move to the hilltop shrine and make an offering. Chastising closes the Way. Take this in! Shake things up and move to your hidden place of inspiration. Do not discipline people or set out on an expedition. Diminishing your forward drive will augment you in the end. A hasty move leads to nothing but trouble. Something important is returning. Be open and provide what is needed.

Turning to the summit for nourishment, Deviating from the path ##### Comments To seek nourishment from the hill. Continuing to do this brings misfortune. Normally a person either provides his own means of nourishment or is supported in a proper way by those whose duty of privilege it is to provide for him. If, owing to weakness of spirit, a man cannot support himself, a feeling of uneasiness comes over him; this is because in shirking the proper way of obtaining a living, he accepts support as a favor from those in higher place. This is unworthy, for he is deviating from his true nature. Kept up indefinitely, this course leads to misfortune.
