After each page, or chapter, discuss it. Listen to restful music. May as well relax, it takes up less energy, and you won't stress out, and remember, there are hundreds like you, right there, in the same position you are. Be a rebel! Don't think like they do! Take a stance!... be calm;D.

I have been more concerned with large human problems outside myself. <BR/><BR/>My lesson today drawn from the Book of Changes is: <BR/><BR/>Gathering Together (Massing)<BR/>the Joyous and the Receptive.<BR/>It furthers one to undertake something<BR/><BR/>Gathering is either in large communities or the State. Where men are to be gathered together, religious forces are needed. Only collective moral force can unite the world, around a leader, a center of the group, who must be first collected within himself.<BR/><BR/>Such great times of unification will leave great achievements behind them. This is the significance of the great offerings that are to be made. In the secular sphere likewise, there is need of great deeds in the time of Gathering Together.<BR/><BR/>The superior man renews his weapons. (in my case art)<BR/>In order to meet the unforeseen.<BR/><BR/>9 in the first place:<BR/><BR/>People are in a large group and waver in their decision. They lack a firm center around which to gather. But if expression is given to this need, one grasp of the hand from the leader is enough to turn away distress. They must not allow themselves to be led astray and attach themselves to this leader.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965076219235086304.post-64347256424600708522007-02-17T10:23:00.000-08:002007-02-17T10:23:00.000-08:00P: I can see that to make any headway in Los Angel...P: I can see that to make any headway in Los Angeles, I will have to get more in touch with my 'female side'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
