What's a Pragmatic Viewer?

Pragmatic Viewer (PV) is someone who consciously looks at life events in terms of changes and cycles while being consciously in the NOW.

Knows what's active, what's inactive, what works and what doesn't for the current moment and beyond.

This action is based on his capability to view the big picture and all of its connections.

The success of this approach is determined by the depthness of the Viewer experience. And that he has mastered the basics and the technicalities of life.

The PV's consciously aware of the rhythm of the Grand Dao and the Micro Dao(s) that are below it. Understands the active connections between the Grand Dao and the Micro Daos. @ the same time, he examines things and events in terms of black, white and many degrees of grey while being aware of the timing and momentum of the Grand Dao.

The Pragmatic Viewer knows "when to go with his intuition incrementally", "when to pause and examine the situation in terms of history and psychology" and "when to stop, rest and wait".

He looks at his current settings in terms of Heaven, Earth and Man. And how one extreme affects another in terms of time, space, influence, etc.

Intuitively, The Pragmatic Viewer knows when to lead and when to lag. Regardless he always know the timing of the event. He is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

During all aspects of the game, the Pragmatic Viewer's constantly simplify, minimize and optimize whatever he's doing.

From this Cardinal's experience, once one understands how things work in the real world from a top down view. The focus is completing the goal. @ the end, results counts and experience prevails. Remember, there's no substitute for experience.

This's not just the Cardinal rule, it's the Law of the Grand Dao.

The professional goal of a pragmatic strategist is to find simple solutions to “difficult” problems.
