Enthusiasm
In the
first of the verses that is highlighted
specifically for you by today’s Reading from
the image of Enthusiasm, the oracle says,
“Enthusiasm that looks upward creates
remorse. Hesitation brings remorse.” This
describes not only the dangers of hesitation, but
also the necessity of self-reliance. You may
picture a man looking upward for a sign from God,
or for one last calculation of his determining
stars. This is NO time for that kind of behavior.
In your demeanor, especially with respect to the
relationship referred to at the beginning of this
Reading, but also in general with all of your
people, now is the time for BEING a leader –
i.e. someone who is in MOTION FORWARD, not
looking back, and finished with doubt and
indecision.
Even
though it is natural for you to feel these
negative emotional patterns of fear and doubt,
the need of the moment is to appear to be wholly
free of them. Once again in today’s Reading,
as so many times before, it is your influence on
other people that proves one of the essential
elements of your ultimate success, and so
appearances have their importance. Thus, in the
second verse that is highlighted specifically for
you by today’s Reading from the image of
Enthusiasm, the oracle says, “The source of
enthusiasm. He achieves great things. Doubt not.
You gather friends around you as a hair clasp
gathers the hair.” As you can appreciate,
this bodes well for you. Confucius said of this
verse that, “His will is done in great
things.” And let me also quote from Richard
Wilhelm’s great commentary on this verse. He
wrote, “This describes a man who is able to
awaken enthusiasm through his own sureness and
freedom from hesitation. He attracts people
because he has no doubts and is wholly sincere.
Owing to his confidence in them he wins their
enthusiastic cooperation and attains success.
Just as a clasp draws the hair together and holds
it, so he draws men together by the support he
gives them.”
