You must come to know what lies behind what you see on the surface, from your personal view. It is a call to wake up and merge with the source of what you perceive through your senses, and experience it fully.
Then, you may avoid the danger of living and acting in the world with your eyes closed.

See Tao Te Ching – Verse 35 – She who is centered in the Tao can go where she wishes, without danger.
See the previous previous reading: Today: “Reflect on how we came to this sad, sad time. Avoid making the same mistakes. Apathy, idolatry in the form of charisma, a willing denial of personal identity. After awakening, begin repairs on the ruined landscape.” from the I Ching
