Energy cannot be created or destroyed so it has to flow. It has to flow to things that are receptive. So I'm not sure if on it's own it's about flow, it needs to interact with the yin for flow to happen. I've always thought of it more as the potential to flow. A subtle difference I know.
But I see both of them as arising a nanosecond *after* the big bang. In fact, they *are* the big bang - that's what the big bang consists of - energy on the move, first from Hex 1 to Hex 2, and then on down the line, multiplying and ramifying and developing new levels of laws and worlds.
(In Kabbalah, Hex 1 is right pillar energy, and Hex 2 is left pillar energy.)
Would you be able to expand on n this more in relation to teh other Hexagrams?
dobro said:So there are three forces at work, it seems - yang, yin, and a balancing or neutralizing force in the center. That doesn't work very well with the yin/yang basis of the Yi.
There are 32 categories overall - look at the tree of life. Each category has an inverse and so 64 categories possibly mappable to the IC.

Note how we can also extract three different systems from the tarot - major arcana, minor arcana court cards, minor arcana.

How do you separate the creator from the creation? They are one and the same thing. Exactly the same thing. Totally.
in the west we tend to think that this is this and that is that. But it is not. This is that and that is this. It is all the same thing. There is no differentiation in anything. It is all one. The creation is created by itself. Actually there is not even any creation. There is simply that that is.
Okay, so if it's not flow, then what's it about?
One thing more. I am not trying to start trouble here. My responses are for everyone, not just one person, and if the group as a whole wishes me to leave, I will do that. If that is not the case I will state my message, and I don't care if a particular individual considers it a waste of time. Get used to it. But the language here was uncalled for. As long as I am accepted here, I will post what I post. I have a message of value to people. Many do not recognize it or accept it, but some do, those who can understand my meaning. It is those people who are my audience, not any particular individual.

pure energy, yes, pure potential. but not necessarily flow. To flow it needs the Field.
1 Aren't energy and potential different?
2 Why does flow need a field?
1. no. Energy: the capacity for vigorous activity; available power.
I say: "Creativity is before things like ideas. It's pure energy; energy is like a dragon, a powerful force on the move. Yes, a dragon needs a field to move in, but it's not the same thing as the field."
A dragon cannot be a dragon without a field to be a dragon in - and yes the field is the dragon and the dragon is the field - between them creation happens, creation cannot be said only to issue from pure yang or pure yin. Its like you are trying to assign creativity to one polarity
In the Big Bang, Hex 1 preceded Hex 2.
I am not saying they are not different but that neither can exist without the difference of the other hence each is dependent on the other - and one certainly didn't preceed the other.
