Modern Digest & Life Relevance

The point of reading is to stop being deaf

The purpose of chart reading, the text says plainly, is to open people's ears — to let them perceive the direction of their own current. That requires grasping the mechanism of advance and retreat: when a chart's energy should be pushed forward, and when it should be pulled back. Knowing when to stop is treated here as the beginning of wisdom, not a consolation prize.
