Steven Karcher & Michael Servetus
The Vessel’s stand is severed. The prince’s meal is overthrown. His form soiled. The penalty will be death in chambers. Trap! The Way closes.
You are caught in a false position but inner work can change it. Let the new ideas go round three times before you act, then follow the new spirit joyously. Release the power of your experience. Do not simply adapt. If you co-operate with corrupt authorities now you will be swept away with them when the great change comes. Let yourself be led and you can realize the hidden potential. Co-operate with the ongoing process of change.

The prince's meal is spilled
And his person is soiled.
Misfortune.
A man has a difficult and responsible task to which he is not adequate. Moreover, he does not devote himself to it with all his strength but goes about with inferior people; therefore the execution of the work fails. In this way he also incurs personal opprobrium. Confucius says about this line: "Weak character coupled with honored place, meager knowledge with large plans, limited powers with heavy responsibility, will seldom escape disaster."
