Heed Warnings

This is not a mistake. You do not pass by, you meet it. Let the adversity you experienced be a warning. Do not use it in a long-term Trial. The transition is made. Take a look at the dangers you have just passed through and let them be a warning. Let go of your old connections. Demonstrate your inner worth by cutting through pride and complication and everything will benefit. These goings and comings release the energy now bound up in the past. Co-operate with the on-going process of change.

九四, 无咎, 弗過遇之, 往厲必戒, 勿用, 永貞.
