I-CHING Hexagram #17
"Following"

Tui, The Happy Chen, The Awakening, Thunder. Happiness on the move calls to attend. The Happy is the daughter firstborn, while The Exciting is the elder son. An old man feels respect for a young lady, who feels attracted by this feeling and accompanies him.

It shows the man how to be a follower and how to be followed. By means of quiet movements, the man succeeds in having followers. To have things going after one, it is necessary to have traced things first.

To get started

We are through a moment in which we have gained adherents and we have striven after others. If this is about a love relationship, it wil be fine as long as they can connect to each others, that is, to take into account eah individual's direction and velocity. It is the same in other cases; respect to each other produces miracles. In a non-stop exercise, the man stops to move on later.

To end

We are about coming to a stage in which the continuity of what we have achieved is the golden rule to succeed in the future. We should go after others and/ or make others follow us. How are we going to do that? Showing openly what we achieved: our fulfilments; doing it calmly but impetuously. This will lead to success.

sentence

FOLLOWING has supreme success. - Perseverance furthers. No blame.
