Creative Awakening

Shake reviving, Oh! Oh! Shake moves without a mistake. The fertilizing shock rouses your dormant creative energy. In this time of abundance you can see only dimly. Though you have found a place to abide with goods and a position you know a greater mission awaits. Still your compulsive actions and you will see where the real motivating power lies. Do not be afraid to act alone. You are connected to a creative force.

六三, 震蘇蘇, 震行无眚.

Shock comes and makes one distraught. If shock spurs to action One remains free of misfortune. ##### Comments There are three kinds of shock-the shock of heaven, which is thunder, the shock of fate, and, finally, the shock of the heart. The present hexagram refers less to inner shock than to the shock of fate. In such times of shock, presence of mind is all too easily lost: the individual overlooks all opportunities for action and mutely lets fate take its course. But if he allows the shocks of fate to induce movement within his mind, he will overcome these external blows with little effort.
