11.4

[topal]

I'm seeing this line as the quality of internal development rather than exclusively external preoccupations which sometimes require force to hammer it into shape. Balance and harmony comes from discerning what is chaotic which is often subtly hidden There seems to be great power in this hex too, although it's about harmony and peace. Getting there is not a bed of roses of course....:brickwall:

I'm also seeing it as representative of the first attempts at looking inward by a neophyte, or the conscious directing of the inner life which will naturally effect the outer life rather than the other way around.

Anyone have any examples of 11.4? The consensus seems a bit patchy on this one.

The heart is actuated to seek harmony with others in taking on the ordering of the home, the community, the world. External concerns are forgotten, skills are put to work as needed, spiritual needs are fed, relationships repaired, fences mended, yoga practiced, innocence refreshed. All things are briefly possible, the head butting delayed, a right perspective found before the details are tackled. The courage and intent to do right are found afresh. The wife gathers firewood, the husband prepares the fireplace, the children play in the garden, their safety the family's main concern. A summons to worldly action is not far off; a long delayed action may be properly planned in peace. The simple acts of living and conscience come naturally when guilt and guile are allowed to evaporate. The weak accept the influence of the powerful without rancor, and without demands.

That was an excellent and beautiful description Auriel - thank you.

In keeping with the inner quality of the situation for which this line is recieved, high, low, rich and poor must come together with mutual sincerity. They will both benefit each other.
