ABSTRACT

In human life, the Creative works to activate, to engender, to inspire. It raises our energy level and expands and extends our capacities. This energy is bright and sharp, often impatient with the requirements or details of a process. The process of transformation may have its roots in the Creative, but unless our awareness also undergoes an expansion the net result of such a time could be no more than the after-glow of a beautiful fireworks display. The construction of the hexagram consists of the trigram Ch'ien repeated in both upper and lower positions. This construction represents the timeless, undivided, unconditioned force of creativity. Ch'ien is a calendar hexagram representing the fourth month of the Chinese year, May–June. In the northern hemisphere the sun is at its height and the daylight hours are at their maximum.
