When human rulers do not have the Way, at home they brutalize their people, while abroad they invade and despoil neighboring countries. Because of brutality in the homeland, the people’s production is disrupted; because of incursions abroad, war repeatedly breaks out.

The two wise beasts approach the wisest tree and ask:

“When will I, too, be 5th dimensional?”

And, “What is more valuable, my decisions or the curvature of flower petals?”

The tree replies, “Neither is more important than memories created by the passage of time.”
