The Receptive

“The Receptive

accommodates itself to the qualities of the Creative

and makes them its own.

Thus a square develops out of a straight line

and a cube out of a square.

This is compliance with the laws of the Creative;

nothing is taken away, nothing added.

Therefore the Receptive has no need of a special purpose of its own,

nor of any effort;

yet everything turns out as it should.”
