Upon the road of life there are many bridges. Do not try to cross them before you come to them, and do not wait to plan their crossing until after you have crossed.

Although seemingly paradoxical, the person who takes upon himself the people’s humiliation is fit to rule; and he is fit to lead, who takes the country’s disasters upon himself; and none other is the good leader, for he is wise and he is humble, he is soft and, so, supple, and shall endure.

Early this morning a Swiss website published a genuine-sounding list of delegates to this year’s conference. A couple of names leapt out, both of them Bilderberg alumni: Lord Mandelson (2009) and George Osborne (2006-2009).

There is nothing more yielding than water, yet when acting on the solid and strong, its gentleness and fluidity has no equal in any thing. The weak can overcome the strong, and the supple overcome the hard. Although this is known far and wide, few put it into practice in their lives.

The way of the Caulbearer and the true follower is pointed and sharp, but does not harm. The wise know that his possessions are none; therefore he gives to the world; without recognition, doing his work. In this way he accomplishes that which is required of him; without dwelling upon it in any way, he gives of his wisdom without display.

The way of the ordinary low-thinking person is not always The Way. Such low-thinking people take profits from those who are poor and give to those who are rich, so that the rich shall support them in their purpose, which is base and always self-seeking. They cheat and make profit and believe that they have done well; such are cursed believers in the unbelievable and the convenient. They are less than beasts, as they know in their reality of better.

Nobility is not in the blood, as believed. It is a state of mind, and can be found often in the most lowly.

The Way is as supple as a bow; bending as the willow. The wisdom of The Way makes the high lower, and the lowly by it are raised. It shortens the string which has been stretched, and lengthens that which has become too short. It is the way of the wise leader who will take from those who have a surplus to what they need, so providing for those without enough.

Man is born gentle and supple. At death, his body is brittle and hard. Living plants are tender, and filled with life-giving sap, but at their death they are withered and dry. The stiff, the hard, and brittle are harbingers of death, and gentleness and yielding are the signs of that which lives. The warrior who is inflexible condemns himself to death; and the tree is easily broken which ever refuses to yield in the storm. Thus the hard and brittle will surely fall, and the soft and supple will overcome.
