You succeed because you find that the tension can actually generate excitement and the joy of doing the work. It is not expectation that you hold to it is the certainty that everything is unfolding perfectly to create change. Critical Mass holds the essence of the Sage’s greatest lesson: tranquility in disturbance. The old way of interacting is not sustainable and the old paradigm will crumble. Either way, a quantum leap into a new way of interacting is in the air. You may be heaping an old way of thinking on a foundation of the past. However, this can be a situation where ideas have taken over what is actually witnessed as experience. Believe in what you are doing and don’t worry about support and acceptance because that is the message of this hexagram: be undaunted. Look to your work to stand on its own merit. This can be a perfectionist who spends a lot of time practicing, but is fearful of competition or feedback. Nourishing Vision without putting it to proper use reveals an underlying cause of perhaps needing to ‘come out’ and show the world what you have been working on. Too much of a good thing is not always good so Ta Kuo can also suggest moderation. You may need to stand alone with no support during this time of crisis and simply give form to your vision. In this case, you may have to push beyond what you feel is limiting you by adapting and adjusting. Even while Critical Mass feels uncomfortable, it will lead to a readjustment. Nature uses tension to push all things beyond the known ~ opposites collide and all are lifted to a higher, more sustainable level. Ta Kuo suggests the hidden influence of the Creative at the root of the situation, where this tension is actually the driving force of great creativity and accomplishment. Being out of touch with the reality of the situation or excess of some kind can be at play. Exuberance of thought or ideas are weighing down on an old foundation that was built to support the past. The roof has become too heavy for the support of the ridgepoles or foundation. Reading at a Glance: Ta Kuo can have the message that something is too much, or a situation has come to a condition of Critical Mass ~ an adjustment is needed. ![]() The study of Nature is intercourse with the Highest Mind. To follow the energy of life, you will discover that it is always seeking the best of what you might become.
