The Arousing

Thunder over Thunder

THE JUDGEMENT
SHOCK brings success.
Shock comes -- oh, oh!
Laughing words -- ha, ha!
The shock terrifies for a hundred miles,
And he does not let fall the sacrificial spoon and chalice.

THE IMAGE
Thunder repeated: the image of SHOCK.
Thus in fear and trembling
The superior man sets his life in order
And examines himself.

Sacrifice matches very well. The satisfaction comes from the just-completed cycle of growth, matches well. Fear and trembling do not match satisfaction well, but better than one might think. Overall, a passable match.

mapped using the Sequence of Middle Heaven:

From Angry Sadism to Angry Sadism:

The anger comes from the uncompleted cycle of growth, matches well. Fear and trembling do match sadism well, especially associated with laughter. Sacrificial spoon and chalice work. Overall, an excellent match.

From Evangelical Predation to Evangelical Predation:

Sacrifice, spoon and chalice match fairly well. Fear and trembling match quite well. The cycle of growth is complete, as is the self-examination. Overall, a very good match.
