“The World” (or “The Universe”) might be described as an ultimate card. Union with all; the object of seekers of spiritual truth. But relations with magnitude (except in circumstances we are unaware of) cannot be forced. Though you may rightly understand yourself to be a fractal of this magnitude, you are a fractal nonetheless.
        The first hexagram (#28) describing our current state of affairs, bears a heavy warning. “The weight of the great is excessive. The load is too heavy for the strength of the supports.” The next hexagram (#33) continues the admonishment with “retreat” the “conditions are such that the hostile forces favored by the time are advancing.” It seems clear that this time period is not one of great power and understanding. And healthy retreat is one of the greatest skills to possess. Perseverance at any cost does not guarantee a particular outcome — and certainly you must know a limitation before you can transcend it.
