I-CHING Hexagram #12
"Standstill"

Ch'ien The Creative, Sky. K'un The Receptive, Land. The creative powers are not connected. It is time of decline.

It shows the man how the refuge, in its own virtue to endure times of disjunction, leads to success. By staying apart in the middle of the rupture, man causes that stagnation calms and wins.

To get started

We are going through a moment in which nothing is carried out. Either one's fault or due to external factors, everything is depicted dark. But nothing is forever. All little and painful moments will be gone, and men of good will stay together. Back to our internal values, we'll overcome this time and finally we'll win.

To end

It seems to be a moment in which we could do little outside. A few goals will be reached. It will tend to divide all that today seems together. But everything keeps moving. With an unbreakable internal peace, and working personally on the undergoing of stagnation, we'll do something to accomplish the triumph, and we'll get it.

sentence

STANDSTILL. Evil people do not further - The perseverance of the superior man. - The great departs; the small approaches.
