If we mentally draw a dividing horizontal line to divide the hexagram into two parts, at the bottom
will be: Memory (center), Knowledge (to the left of Memory), and Power (to the right of Memory).
These three Fundamentals are figuratively "immersed" in the ocean, below the surface. They are
a kind of internal phenomena, unmanifested. Of these, Memory occupies the greatest depths. Both
Memory and Knowledge and Power are absolute Measures and are constants that have a center,
but no specific direction. At the top of the hexagram, we have Concentration (top-center), Will (to
the left of Concentration), and Imagination (to the right of Concentration). Will, Concentration,

surface of the ocean. Separately, they can be considered as opposing pairs: Concentration creates
Memory. Will builds Power. Knowledge expands Imagination. These are the indirect connections
between the Fundamentals in the Hexagram.

you have forgotten? You have seen much more than you think, but the World has tamed you and
taught you what to believe and how to think. That's why you forgot what you saw. Until you
