rosada said:Could 17. symbolize exercises like tai chi?
hilary said:Indeed not. Only at Clarity...
17 may have currents running just as deep, just as far from conscious awareness (the thunder in the lake like a power of initiative well below the reflective surface), but it's trustworthy.
heylise said:We humans have no idea what following means, really...
dobro said:It only happens when the following is discerning enough to appreciate the modesty of the person being followed. And of course, it's always a modest following.
Best kind of following, IMO.
rosada said:After studying this line and writing about it a bit I'm thinking that I orginally was off track seeing 16 - 17 as meaning Enthusiasm ATTRACKS a Following as in the idea that if one is enthusiastic others will gather round. Rather, I think the connection is that Enthusiasm eventually burns out and must Follow - connect with? - the universal flow.
rosada said:I think it's interesting we use the term "centered" when we talk about how one should be in life. This gives a different visual than when we say the "middle path". When we talk about "the middle path" I get an image of a person walking down a road staying in the middle so as not to be distracted, pulled to the left or right, yet still it appears there is only one way forward. However when we say "centered" as in being in the middle of a circle or wheel, there are an infinite number of ways one can go just as there can be an infinite number of spokes to the wheel. Perhaps this is why it is not possible to predict the future. When a conciousness is "centered" in the "now" all futures are possible, just as all hexagrams are available.

listener said:I love bald men.I'll add that to my notes for 17.3
bruce_g said:I can see Luis now, shaving.
sparhawk said:Hey, Listener, aren't you a Latina? Hmmm, if she's of an age close to mine, most likely she doesn't mind baldness and wouldn't mind a Sean Connery look elsewhere. Good, I only have to shave my head!!
