42. Increase, Line 4

“If you walk in the middle . . . the prince will follow.”

Maintain a balanced way of life, and others will be guided by your example, even those above you.

……………………………………

Are you a “Do it my way . . . or hit the highway” type of person? Or a perfectionist who’s never happy with anything that’s not “the best?”

The Book of Changes says: That sort of thinking will not lead to an Increase. Maintaining a balanced lifestyle will help you make more progress. It might even convince others to mellow out and move forward.

Don’t be a drama llama.

………………………

Next: Line 5. “If in truth you have a kind heart, ask not.”

How the Book of Changes Works

“The way in which the Book of Changes works can best be compared to an electrical circuit reaching into all situations. The circuit only affords the potentiality of lighting; it does not give light. But when contact with a definite situation is established in the questioner, the ‘current’ is activated, and the given situation is illumined.”
