Gathering with Equals becomes Inner Integrity
What this change means
Lake below, wind above: the three middle lines shift and leave an open, empty center. Weigh two judgments here. 13 Gathering with Equals describes a fellowship of like-minded people, built on trust and support, able to take on big and innovative work. 61 Inner Integrity says that when you're whole within, it shows outside, and your truth can move others toward great undertakings. Together, they place the strength of the community in the sincerity of each person in it. Before you try to rally anyone, check your own motives: are you saying what you mean, and doing what you say? If you are, people tend to sense it without being told. Shared work founded on that kind of inner truth can carry far, while any effort to win people over with appearances is likely to ring hollow.
