Hexagram 64 - Not Yet Fording
Before Completion


Before Completion is
a time when the task 
is nothing less than 
that of leading the 
world out of confusion
from disorder to order.
This shift has been 
prepared for and 
holds a promise
of uniting all the 
chaotic forces into unity.



The empowered person on the verge of an important change or significant effort, observes a mature fox making her way over a frozen lake. He notes her expert caution and dedication as she tries each step, listening to the sounds of the ice before making her next footfall. We would do well to mimic her cunning ways.








The immature fox tends to leap into action ahead of time and ends up compromised by getting her tail drenched, or worse, getting completely doused in freezing water which could result in severe consequences or even death. And there would be nothing that could be done about it. 


Remember the vixen: plan, wait, observe, and grow stronger while holding back curbing until it is time to act.  In this way the crossing can be made successfully and in balance.

QUESTIONS
1) How am I progressing regarding
the shift?
2) How can I help in the task 
of creating Unity?

THREE CONSIDERATIONS
First Consideration of Three
The Sage repeates himself: it is not yet time to act. But this does not mean we merely wait idly. We are counseled to build our inner strength to enable  us to move ahead when the time comes. We prepared our vehicles last week (see last post), but we must put on the brakes on our inner strength. At the same time we must keep alert and not lose sight of our task. Although difficult to enforce, this waiting time calls for great patience. Only in this way, does all end well. 





Second of Three Considerations 
This transition must be completed. [Remember, we are fighting for nothing less than actual peace and unity on this planet. And Winter Solstice 2012 is fast approaching. This is it. Bottom line.] We must be strong in resolve, silence all misgivings, and engage in fierce battle with the forces of decadence. As a reward, we are promised power and eternal mastery for the future.



Third of Three Cosiderations
Awaiting the dawning of this new era, which is hard on the threshold, is best spent gathering with friends in mutual trust and warmth while awaiting the proverbial stroke of midnight. We are cautioned to stay in balance and not to celebrate in drunkeness. In doing so, we forfeit the promise held here through intemperance. True joy does not unhinge us, but instead is deep, pervasive, lasting and powerful..
Luncheon of the Boating Party (1881) (
French: Le déjeuner des canotiers) is a
painting by French Impressionist
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
