Trusting that events lead in the correct direction, despite
their appearances, results in inner independence and strength
of character...
Our relationship with the Unknown, and our freedom from pacts
and certainties, enables us to be of use in the world. This
usefulness nourishes us with inexhaustible nourishment.
Therefore, we should not seek to know everything
comprehensively, or to have consummate power; we should seek
only to keep detached and open-minded in response to the
challenge of the moment...
Self-cleansing means to clean out all thoughts and allow
mental activity to subside. Creating inner space allows the
light force to enter with its restorative effect. Being
recharged, we radiate peace to others, strengthening and
nourishing what is high and good in the. The creative energy
flows through us abundantly, giving rise to creative ideas,
correct perceptions and the Cosmic view. thus we find correct
solutions to problems...
Genius is the ability to receive from the Cosmos, not, as our
egos keep hoping and insisting, an ability to contrive and
think things up.
-- Carol Anthony, A Guide to the I Ching
