“The 4/6 profile has an unusual geometry.
Here we have the first personality that is in the upper trigram, the fourth line personality.
Though the 4/6 is part of the upper trigram and the transpersonal process, its role to complete the personal process which began with the 1/3 profile.
The 4th line profile is one of the most unusual.
It’s an integrating field between the right angle and the left angle. The lower trigram ends with the 3.6.
When we get to the 4.6 it’s not longer lower trigram and it belongs to the upper trigram. But it’s still right angle.
Right angle is personal destiny.
It’s about being self absorbed in ones own process. The 4/6 is all transpersonal in it's lines but it is not a transpersonal profile.
The 4/6 is an opportunistic personality employing its transpersonal gifts, its ability to establish friendships, to communicate the values of the lower trigram, and in doing so, fulfilling its personal destiny.
We have seen the aloofness and disinterest inherent in the sixth line and that it rarely leads to involvement.
The nature of the transitional sixth line is to code and assess and then pass judgment on what has been established beforehand.
At the end of the lower trigram through the 3/6 profile the six assesses and qualifies the trial and error of the three.
But in the upper trigram through the fourth line of externalization the process is different.
Where the third line will test the foundation, the fourth line is only interested in externalizing it.
Where the six grades the qualities of the foundation beneath the three, it grades the mechanics of social interaction beneath the four.
In this sense, the fourth line personality accepts the foundation established through the lower trigram process without question.
What is now important is whether the message can be delivered.
The 4/6 has only one question.
Can I get my truth across to the other?
It is not whether or not I have the truth.
It is whether or not I have the skills to get other people to accept it.
Wherever we see the fourth line, we encounter the capacity to influence others.
The missionary quality of determination and fixed attention.
The 1/4 profile and the 2/4 profile both carry this potential in the blood.
Here it is the personality.
The 4/6 is conscious of its need to communicate and restrained by its sixth line unconscious.”
