Each situation has its own direction and flow that has to be recognized and taken into account. Forcing action that is not conducive to the situation as a whole creates a disturbance in the flow that has impact and implications for the balance and harmony and wellbeing of the here, now and the not yet but will be. Who is in charge of all of the possibilities? We "create weal and make woe" without knowing what we are doing, and with no way of knowing. And so it is said, "Those who don't know what they don't know are capable of doing terrible damage without knowing what they are doing. Which is pretty much the case worldwide in all times and places. Because we want what we want and think about how to get and keep it without knowing what we are doing beyond having our way here, now.

We need a regular time and place for taking stock. 

Sitting in the silence, open to what's what and what needs our attention, and waiting to see what occurs to us, calls us, directs us "from out of the blue" is not a waste of time. We have to learn to be conscious of forces at work in all times and places that are in play to impact, if not control, what happens next and then what happens.

We all are dancing to music we cannot hear. We move in response to the moment without foreseeing what that means beyond the moment. We have to make the time to listen for what is beyond frequencies we can hear. Which makes no sense until we experience knowing that cannot be explained just by making ourselves available to forces beyond rational, logical, intellectual concerns and consideration.

Psyche is cosmic and foundational. And aligning ourselves with it is living in sync with the wisdom of the Tao at work in all times and places.
