peace,
good fortune, and
success (I-Ching, Hexagram 11),

stands above; Yang, the Creative, which moves upward, is below. Hence their

Success

Like everything on Earth, this state is
subject to change however. Prosperity is followed by decline: this is the
eternal law. Evil can be held in check for a while but not permanently

Yet, this is not a tragedy. It shout just to
keep us from falling into illusion that good fortune comes to us
automatically. If we are mindful of the danger, we remain persevering and
make less mistakes. As long as your inner nature remains stronger and richer
than anything offered by external fortune, as long as you remain inwardly
superior to fate, fortune will not desert you.
