Lately we see the moon
during daylight
more than we remember.
It happens so often
we wonder why “moon”
is only linked to night.
* * *
A day moon looks transparent
like a jellyfish.
or like a skull at the bottom of a pool.
The differences are not quite reversals
or even inversions,
just something specific.

Sites in Use
Seeing the site, work and sensitive world creation of the Géométral Architecture office, reminds us how much we loathe instagram and how much subtle expression such platforms suppress — and how much we crave a biodiversity of display.
Our wonderful friends and partners at Dinamo have collaborated w/ business consultancy Nea-Kosma to make a survey. The poll aims to discern the emotional relation to the financial aspects of life. Click here to participate.

43. Break-through (Resoluteness)
These first few lines are the general aphoristic returns for the week. They are raw and uninterpreted; there to use how you’d like. (The specific readings follow.)
- Consider Justice (writ large) — are you hiding from it or contributing to it?
- Dense ideas need to be broken down for mass consumption.
- Try to overcome discord at the beginning of a collaboration.
- To achieve equity among large groups of people specific personal friendships must be put aside.
- To save that which is closest to us we must put distance between those things (i.e. not all eggs in one basket).
- The good (as opposed to wickedness and deceit) is the struggle to find out what is good until death — it is not a knowing but a striving.

From “A.M.”: I can no longer truly be me to anyone, I guess because I want to be loved, adored or accepted. Motivation letters, interviews, networking, uncomfortable friendships, social media, migration and overthinking them all made me way too aware of what others want from me and what they think of me. I feel like a brand, a fixed identity that is written by others. I forgot how to be in the state of just being me, free from this over-awareness, the expectations, the norms and the anxiety of being misunderstood. How to be real? How to be free?
I know that I’ve gotta find the answer myself in this case. I just wonder about your genuine opinion.
The struggle to fit in is natural; interdependence is necessary for the survival of all flora and fauna. But there are more intense versions of this foundational impulse, egotism being a prime one. Narcissism of this type is a desire to control that which is ultimately uncontrollable — it is shortsighted like high APR credit cards — unsustainable and unhealthy (of course, pending the situation, sometimes unavoidable).
However there is wisdom in overdoing. “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom... You never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough.”
Now you are aware of a certain limit; a joyous thing to be sure.
Also, be careful about knowing exactly what ails you — for all knowing is an illusion. Consider participating over knowing. As well there is no true freedom — we are forever fettered to our emotions and need for safety and sustenance, which precludes absolute liberty — again participation is key (striving to be healthily occupied).

Complete Reading
This week we pulled the Justice card, reversed. The reversal here, somewhat like a reversed Wheel of Fortune card, isn’t quite a total reversal. For, when upright, the Justice card is a call to address equity, generally — which could be in negative aspect. Here it is the same, only it is perhaps slightly skewed to the negative. So, take time to consider past, current, or potential situations where responsibility was, is, or might-be lacking.
Our first hexagram this week is #59, Dispersion (Dissolution). “Here the subject is the dispersing and dissolving of divisive egotism.” Generalities (rather than finer particulars) of stability and morality are necessary for bringing the masses together. Specific ideas by definition can only reach a smaller, focused demographic. Loosening the knots of finer points is necessary for healthier, larger flow. As in, talking specifically about the hermeneutics of written laws will likely only frustrate and confuse a crowd. This is not to say that ridiculously broad notions are to be employed, rather that dense ideas need to be broken down for mass consumption.
There were four changes this week, of which the specific notes are: try to overcome discord at the beginning of a collaboration, perhaps counterintuitively — often one must put aside personal desires to achieve a large goal, to reach general/large-scale equity specific personal friendships must be put aside, and similarly, to save that which is closest to us we must put distance between those things (i.e. all eggs, one basket).
Our second hexagram, the one that suggests how best to meet the challenges (or the changes) is #43, Break-through (Resoluteness). “This hexagram signifies... a break–through after a long accumulation of tension... it refers to the time when inferior people gradually begin to disappear. Their influence is on the wane; as a result of resolute action...” “Even if only one inferior person is occupying a ruling position in a city, they are able to oppress superior people. Even a single passion still lurking in the heart has power to obscure reason. Passion and reason cannot exist side by side—therefore fight without quarter is necessary if the good is to prevail.” “In a resolute struggle of the good against evil, there are, however, definite rules that must not be disregarded, if it is to succeed. First, resolution must be based on a union of strength and friendliness. Second, a compromise with evil is not possible; evil must under all circumstances be openly discredited. Nor must our own passions and shortcomings be glossed over. Third, the struggle must not be carried on directly by force. If evil is branded, it thinks of weapons, and if we do it the favor of fighting against it blow for blow, we lose in the end because thus we ourselves get entangled in hatred and passion. Therefore it is important to begin at home, to be on guard in our own persons against the faults we have branded. In this way, finding no opponent, the sharp edges of the weapons of evil become dulled. For the same reasons we should not combat our own faults directly. As long as we wrestle with them, they continue victorious. Finally, the best way to fight evil is to make energetic progress in the good.”
If one says “But what is the good? For what is good for one can be bad for another. How can one one possibly know what is good?!” (We remember “E” at the office expressing as much.) We think we have an answer, “the good” is the struggle to understand what is good, without stopping. If something we thought was good turns out to be undermining in some way — revise, incorporate the new findings and continue on. The good is the struggle to find out what is good until death — it is not a knowing but a striving. As said above, compromising here makes the whole effort naught. This, of course, is just an opinion.
