We are in the midst of great adversity. That time is near the end. The Oracle says, another three years. It’s time to apply yourself, not give in to doubt. The evildoers are on the run. They will be shocked into reversing their behavior.
Now is the time to lay the foundations of power and mastery for the future.

In effect, he enters another, sees with the other’s eyes, listens with the other’s ears, feels with the other’s heart.
He then returns to his own center, with new perspective and understanding.
