Bi describes the power of attraction and cohesion within a system. It is the image of water on the earth that collects and sinks into the ground to create fertility. It is about network intelligence and social synergy.

CohesionNetwork

Holding Together brings good fortune. Probe the oracle once more to see whether you have loftiness, endurance and persistence; then there is no fault. The uncertain gradually come closer. Whoever comes too late gets left behind.

Synthesis

Bi teaches us the art of social gravity. A strong center automatically attracts the right resources.

Operative Resources

High emotional intelligence and the gift of recognizing synergies and leading communities steadily.

System Blocks

Isolationism – the refusal to cooperate, which leads to a lack of systemic feedback and resources.

System-Hacks

Strengthen your cohesion.

Appreciation Check: Thank someone today for their operative support.
Centering Exercise: Remind yourself every hour of your most important goal for the day.

Image

Water lies above the earth: the image of Holding Together. So the kings of ancient times granted the individual states as fiefs and maintained friendly dealings with the vassal princes.

Shadow Challenge

Shadow: False Belonging – The danger of joining the wrong systems out of fear or greed for profit, or of reacting too late when cooperation is needed.

Strategy

Test your connections for truthfulness. Gather around a strong center (vision/value). Be open to cooperation, but stay true to your core.

The Lines

Beginning: Sincerity (Honesty)Hold together in truthfulness. No fault. Truth like a full clay bowl: so good fortune at last comes from outside. True connection comes from within, not through outward formalities.
Level 2: Self-Determination (Inner Dignity)Holding together from within. Persistence brings good fortune. Do not seek connection by ingratiating yourself.
Level 3: Bad Investment (Misalignment)Holding together with the wrong people. A warning against parasitic or destructive connections.
Level 4: Loyalty (Reliability)Holding together outwardly as well. Persistence brings good fortune. Openly show your allegiance to your values.
Level 5: Freedom (Sovereignty)Holding together made real. At the hunt the king has the game driven from three sides only and gives up the game that veers off ahead. He does not force anyone to follow. True leadership leaves room.
Conclusion: Aimlessness (Stagnation)Holding together without a head. Misfortune. Whoever gets left behind or has no center fails.
