Today: “Those in control must be summarily removed from office” – from the I Ching

#49, Line 2, #48

Fire ignites within the Lake, defying conditions that would deny it birth or survival:  The Superior Person reads the Signs of the Times and makes the Season apparent to all.
The support you need will come only after the deed is done.  Renewed forces, however, will provide fresh energy for exceptional progress.  Persevere.
All differences vanish.
A revolutionary Change must be made forcibly.  There is no negotiating with the Established Order.  Perfect timing is essential.
Let the abuse of power become apparent and oppressive to those around you before making your move.  Lay the groundwork, sow the seeds for Revolution without tipping your hand prematurely.
You will need a strong foundation, because you will have to bring about this necessary change alone.  You cannot count on popular support, so you must wait until there is massive dissent.
Then the avenue for your assault will be cleared.
When the time is ripe, you will be the instrument of change.  Plant the seeds of revolution now, and success is assured.
When we have tried in every way to bring about reforms, but without success, revolution becomes necessary. But such a thoroughgoing upheaval must be carefully prepared. There must be available a man who has the requisite abilities and who possesses public confidence. To such a man we may well turn. This brings good fortune and is not a mistake. The first thing to be considered is our inner attitude toward the new condition that will inevitably come. We have to go out to meet it, as it were. Only in this way can it be prepared for.
Deep Waters Penetrated and drawn to the surface: The Superior Person refreshes the people with constant encouragement to help one another.
Encampments, settlements, walled cities, whole empires may rise and fall, yet the Well at the center endures, never drying to dust, never overflowing.
It served those before and will serve those after.  Again and again you may draw from the Well, but if the bucket breaks or the rope is too short there will be misfortune.
