Steven Karcher & Michael Servetus
Chastising closes the way. Trap! Trial: Adversity, the hungry souls and angry ghosts. When the Skinning words pass round three times, you will be connected to the spirits.
This is not the time to discipline others. You are facing danger with roots in the past. Let go of simply adapting and release the power of your experience. If you co-operate with corrupt authorities now you will be swept away with them when the great change comes. Proceed step by step. Gather energy for the decisive new move.
Richard Wilhelm
Starting brings misfortune.
Perseverance brings danger.
When talk of revolution has gone the rounds three times,
One may commit himself,
And men will believe him.

When change is necessary, there are two mistakes to be avoided. One lies in excessive haste and ruthlessness, which bring disaster. The other lies in excessive hesitation and conservatism, which are also dangerous. Not every demand for change in the existing order should be heeded. On the other hand, repeated and well-founded complaints should not fail of a hearing. When talk of change has come to one's ears three times, and has been pondered well, he may believe and acquiesce in it. Then he will meet with belief and will accomplish something.
