Breakthrough (Resoluteness) in Family

The lake has risen to heaven, about to burst — the long-tolerated thing is ready to go: the habit, the dynamic, the topic that's quietly drained the home for months. The Judgment's protocol is precise. Declare it openly and truthfully — no hints, no whispering campaign to other relatives; the matter named at court. Warn your own city first: find your contribution before you announce anyone else's, or the fault you're expelling returns wearing your clothes. And no resort to arms: don't fight contempt with contempt or coldness with coldness — a wrong met hand-to-hand drags you into its methods and wins even as it loses. The breakthrough is completed by resolute goodness, not by combat. Then pass the gains downward, and rest on nothing.

After the air clears, the second resoluteness begins — and this is where family breakthroughs are lost. Line 6 is the warning: the last quiet remnant of the old pattern, fondly indulged, reseeds the whole thing. Line 5's weeds regrow from any spared fragment — the exemption you make "just this once," the grievance kept warm in a corner. Root it out completely, while staying measured toward the person. Expect the bespattered stretch (line 3): choosing resolution while still tangled with the situation looks compromised from outside, and relatives may murmur; walk it with inner resolve and let the murmuring pass. And check your strength before bold moves (line 1) — a breakthrough begun beyond your capacity entrenches exactly what it attacks.
