We have reached a state of delicate equilibrium. It is already a new order in the sense that we all know better now than before. What persists, however, is a tendency to deny what we know and revert to old habits and compulsions. There is danger in that.
If those tendencies can be overcome, then grace brought by our awareness will illuminate the world and make it beautiful.

Today: Stay cool, engage your intuition – from the I Ching
There is a strong tendency to be goaded into unwise actions by one’s compulsions. Fortunately, circumstances can prevent such action. Urges remain unsatisfied, but one can learn from contemplating the near catastrophe in order to prevent a repetition of the crisis.
Opposition remains, but graceful interaction and compromise can produce small gradual effects that mitigate the conflict and lead to resolution.

Simply see what the situation requires, and do the right thing. Originally, everyone knows what that is, though judgement becomes clouded by fear, greed, lust for power, rivalry and tribalism. Those are the things that we have to lose, as opposed to everything.

Today: Give attention to with whom you associate – from the I Ching
Give attention to with whom you associate. Welcome those with whom a consensus can be formed. Avoid intractable people who refuse to compromise. Indulging both doesn’t work. Avoid being the intractable one who refuses to compromise. Where disagreements exist, invite discussion on small matters to start. Ultimately, unity is the goal.
