Ripened and settled, the accumulated resources thrust into a new state of being. Illumination is glamorous, appearing easy, as if the creative product springs forth effortlessly. This stage separates fantasy from creation. Unencumbered, creativity is a natural process that flows through the stages repeatedly like a rhythmic pulse. This portrayal suggests the quality of the interplay in each stage of the process.
Old lines change into their opposite.
Incubation, like old yin, has matured and begun to lose its attractive power. Illumination and verification arc into the upper hemisphere which represents yang. Illumination, like young yang, is active, aggressive and projects the ripened product outward. Verification then, like old yang, seeks validation as its strength wanes until it reverts into yin. Form dances on the border between the two faces of chaos.
