Before the End

 

The consciousness (fire) is above the dangerous (water) forming the condition for Before the End. An enlightened person, therefore, is careful of his discriminations in the outside world, and of the position he occupies.


A unique and sage viewpoint is present in human affairs. Order can be brought to chaotic situations. Because you are now unusually familiar with the elements involved in the object of your inquiry, you can evaluate and arrange them in whatever way necessary to achieve your aim. It should be a relatively simple matter to bring together groups of people in social or public-minded situations. By penetrating the psyche of each individual involved, you can arrange to gratify their needs within the group mechanism and thereby gain their co-operation. Clearly, if you are considering political advancement or business investments, the vantage point of Before the End should give you an artful approach.


Yes, it would be a mistake to imagine that by achieving y our aims you will bring matters to a close, that good judgment and order will prevail. The time Before the End can be compared to a lengthy trek over a high mountain. At some point, before reaching the peak, you can see in detail exactly how much farther you must travel. You will know what is involved in reaching the top because of your experience in the climb so far. However, when you do reach the peak, which has been in your sight for many long days of effort, you will have done only that. You will have acquired little information and no experience whatsoever about descending to the other side. To rush up and over the top in an overly confident manner could bring disaster.


The text of the I Ching warns of the danger of proceeding without caution immediately Before the End. You must prepare yourself with wariness and reserve. The coming situation will be strange to you in every way, unlike any that you have experienced. In the near future you will not be able to draw on the wealth of your acquired experience, for in many ways the time will be nothing short of a rebirth.


The idea of rebirth here is a key to the meaning of the I Ching as a whole. The book ends with a new beginning, cycling back to the first hexagram, Creative Power, forever into eternity.
