How do you Yingers see 1.3?
Is it just striving ceaselessly and being a bit obsessive? Or is it being too focused on something else and missing out on what's going on around you? I suppose that could include both: Frittering away new creative energy into an ill thought out enterprise.
The Creative is such a blockbuster hex I'm wondering if there isn't anything more to this line than that.
Any experience of this line recently?

Meng, If you are referring to my post, I use the “higher purpose” ironically, for personal reasons.

Meng, Just wanted to clarify my irony. Self-sarcasm is not always understood
I think it brings an important question, about where higher purposes and goals are established. Is that the work of the Creative or of the Receptive?
I don't see this higher purpose as an attribute of the Creative. I can conceive of beings with greater understanding, more refined expression of energy, or an expanded field of consciousness. I can conceive of collective consciousness and even a Godhead, but higher purpose means what? What is higher, for example, than a mother giving birth? The Creative didn't do that on his own!
The Creative, as I see it, is amoral. Hitler had an overabundance of the Creative. Nietzsche probably did too.
I don’t think there is anything about too much activity. Just telling us what a wise person does, acting when it is the time for acting, and not in such a way that he forgets about the dark, the time of not-acting, but also everything which is in the background and has to be reckoned with.
So: no blame.
For me, Hitler wasn't remotely creative in the sense that I understand it. He was using power of entropy as a means to attain his ends which had spectacular results but inevitably led to diminishing returns and a kind of implosion. So, he was embodying the energy of the creative/receptive but at the entropic extremes? That makes sense to me.
Hitler again??? The man refuses to die...
I think your dream image of a child with no arms or legs very archetypal, Meng. Like a creative ball of fire, an inspiration, and the details, the arms and legs, will develope later after giving it a rest..
Oh! Wow! Well,I guess this is what happens when you are sleep deprived, the world you usually only see in your dreams starts tracking you down on this side!
I was tripping out on the idea about the child having no arms or legs and thinking how ideas do not usually come to us full blown. They continue growing after they are "born."
There is the kernel, The Inner Truth, and then we have to give the Attention to Details.
Hex one taken as the sun shining in the sky gives rise to the notion of each of its 6 lines expressing the double-hours of the sundial. First before dawn, third high noon, 6th twilight after the sun has set and the day must release control to the night.hex 1.3 THE MASTER IS ACTIVE ALL DAY LONG. AT EVENING HE IS STILL ALERT. DANGER. NO BLAME. It is time for creation in the rhythm of the Tao.
