Today’s I Ching – 18 – Degeneration.
Mountain above.
Wind below.
Degeneration follows Following.
Spirit explains:
Following suggests allowing others to lead you
Where they are going, or where they want
You to go, for whatever reason.
Teachers and leaders are necessary role models
And guides, and, if they have a vision and a purpose
You share, then to follow them is to join them on
A mutual quest. or a mutual purpose.
However, we must always think for ourselves,
No matter how confident and competent our
Teachers and leaders may be. If we follow
Without fully considering where we are being
Led, then we risk self-destruction of our own
confidence and competence. Our capacity
to become a teacher or leader will degenerate.
The message?
Listen to Me, but accept full responsibility for
Doing so, and never stop questioning Me or
Yourself.
