“[...] le principe consistant à chevaucher le tigre. Il peut alors signifier que lorsqu’un cycle de civilisation touche à sa fin, il est difficile d’aboutir à un résultat quelconque en résistant, en s’opposant directement aux forces en mouvement. Le courant est trop fort, on serait englouti.
L’essentiel est de ne pas se laisser impressionner par la toute-puissance et le triomphe apparents des forces de l’époque. Privées de lien avec tout principe supérieur, ces forces ont, en réalité, un champ d’action limité. Il ne faut donc pas s’hypnotiser sur le présent ni sur ce qui nous entoure, mais envisager aussi les conditions susceptibles d’apparaître plus tard. La règle à suivre peut alors consister à laisser libre cours aux forces et aux processus de l'époque, mais en demeurant ferme et prêt à intervenir quand « le tigre, qui ne peut pas se jeter sur qui le chevauche, sera fatigué de courir ».”

I've inhabited, after I'm dead.”
