One who understands the Heart of Truth expresses it with his every action, and others respond to him positively. But mere words, ones which do not issue from true insight, will not awaken faith in anyone.

Climax
Climax is a time when the transition to order has been completed and everything appears to be in equilibrium. Precisely at this time he redoubles his caution, for complacency can allow the carefully wrought balance to come tumbling down. He pays heed to details, for the victory has been won but the ideal is still to be achieved.

All stones dark and light
During Climax the responsibility is great. But with caution and deliberation there is promise of success.
