Misread as having no self. Tian Xiang supports because it judged. Choosing whose side to stand on is a position.
In the imperial metaphor Tian Xiang is the chancellor — a supporting seat, and one that actually runs things. Its property is coordination and standing between: it doesn't set the direction, it makes the direction that was set actually work. That role needs no less judgement than deciding does.
It shows up in you like this: you read a setting well and know what to say when; you don't compete for credit, and things visibly jam without you; and you have clear views about who is worth following, which you mostly keep to yourself.
Running well, Tian Xiang is what makes an organisation run: there's one decision-maker, and whoever turns decisions into events is the scarce one. Blocked, standing between becomes having no place — everyone's business is yours and yours is nobody's; or following the wrong person, and excellent execution goes in the wrong direction. The tradition says Tian Xiang rises when it meets good support, which practically means choosing who you stand beside matters more than effort. Your ability amplifies whoever is next to you, so who that is decides a great deal.
