Judgment
Legge: Enthusiasm indicates that feudal princes may be set up and the army advantageously mobilized.
Wilhelm/Baynes:Enthusiasm. It furthers one to install helpers and to set armies marching.
Blofeld:Repose profits those engaged in building up the country and sending forth armies. [This means that perfect certainty as to the rightness of our cause is of great value under the conditions mentioned. The usual meaning of this character is "beforehand" or "happiness." In the English translation of Wilhelm's version, it appears as "enthusiasm." "Repose" was suggested by the Chinese experts who kindly vetted this manuscript. At first I felt hesitant about adopting it, until I realized that, where it is used favorably, it must be understood as the kind of mental repose which follows absolute confidence that the action now being taken is the right one. In lines one, three and six, however, it clearly means failure to act when action is essential; in line five, failure to act owing to incapacity.]
Liu:Happiness. It is of benefit to build up the country (or business), and send the army forth. [Receivers of this hexagram should be wary of exhibiting excessive enthusiasm when beginning a new undertaking. If they are not, there will be misfortune. The hexagram also advises that everything necessary for advancement should be made ready. Then if an opportunity presents itself, it should be seized immediately, without hesitation.]
Ritsema/Karcher: Providing-for , Harvesting: installing feudatories to move legions. [This hexagram describes your situation in terms of what is needed to meet the future. It emphasizes that accumulating strength through foresight and prudence so things can be fully enjoyed is the adequate way to handle it. To be in accord with the time, you are told to: provide-for!]
Shaughnessy: Excess: Beneficial to establish a lord and to move troops.
Cleary (1):Joy. It is advantageous to set up a ruler and mobilize the army.
Wu:Merriment indicates the advantage of establishing principalities and taking military actions.
The Image
Legge: Thunder exploding out of the Earth -- the image of Enthusiasm. The ancient kings, in accordance with this, composed their music and honored virtue, offering it especially to God when they worshipped him at the service of their ancestors.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Thunder comes resounding out of the earth: the image of Enthusiasm. Thus the ancient kings made music in order to honor merit, and offered it with splendor to the Supreme Deity, inviting their ancestors to be present.
Blofeld: This hexagram symbolizes thunder over the earth. The ancient rulers venerated heaven's gifts with solemn music and they sacrificed abundantly to the Supreme Lord of Heaven in order to be worthy of their ancestors.
Liu: Thunder arising from the earth symbolizes Happiness. The ancient kings composed music to honor virtue, offering it to God and the spirits of their ancestors.
Ritsema/Karcher: Thunder issuing-forth-from earth impetuously. Providing-for. The Earlier Kings used arousing delight to extol actualizing-tao. Exalting worship's Supreme Above. Using equalizing the grandfather predecessors. [Actualize-tao:ability to follow the course traced by the ongoing process of the cosmos... Linked with acquire, TE: acquiring that which makes a being become what it is meant to be.]
Cleary (1): When thunder emerges the earth stirs: Thus did the kings of yore make music to honor virtue, offering it in abundance to God, thereby to share it with their ancestors.
Wu: Thunder breaks out above the earth with a boom; this is Merriment. Thus the ancient kings used music to praise virtuous accomplishments and made grand offerings to the Supreme Being to be accompanied by their ancestors.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: Enthusiasm shows one dynamic line inspiring responsive obedience in all the others: devoted obedience takes action. Such obedient action conforms to natural law and creates order and discipline in the people. The planets and the seasons follow their natural cycles. The sages similarly obey the laws of their nature and the people acknowledge their regulations and punishments as just.
Legge:Enthusiasm shows harmony and contentment throughout the kingdom -- a time when the people rejoice in their sovereign and readily obey him. At such a time his appointments and any military undertakings would be hailed and supported. Because he is close to the fifth place of dignity, the dynamic fourth line is seen as the chief executive officer of the ruler. The ruler has confidence in him, and all of the magnetic lines yield their obedience. Obedience is the attribute of the lower trigram which here takes the initiative and uses Movement, which is the attribute of the upper trigram.
The symbolism of the Image is more obscure than usual. The use of music at sacrifices is supposed to assist in producing the union between God and his worshippers as well as the present and past generations.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Judgment: Delegate authority and gather your forces.
The Superior Man synchronizes his will with the intent of the Self via the principles of the Work.
Enthusiasm is the reverse of the preceding hexagram of Temperance. In Temperance we saw the calm strength of a mountain concealed within the earth. In Enthusiasm we see thunder exploding out of the ground into the sky: the strength that was formerly tempered and restrained is now released. It is significant to note that while every line of Temperance is more or less "favorable,” every line of Enthusiasm is either negative or cautionary -- even the generally positive fourth line carries a hint of warning about “doubt.”
Negatively, Self-Deception (the passion of True Believers) seems to be what this hexagram is portraying. The figure often suggests a callow or deluded buoyancy -- the kind of outlook associated with romantic idealists. In its most negative aspect, Enthusiasm is Intemperance -- the exact opposite of the moderation and restraint shown in the preceding hexagram. The behavior of an untrained Great Dane puppy suddenly bursting into a formal dinner party could be described as "enthusiasm,” but hardly a desirable form thereof. The lower trigram of Obedient Devotion has suddenly employed the action and energy of the upper trigram of Thunderous Shock to express itself. This is inconsistent with the code of the superior man.
Conversely, in its most positive sense, Enthusiasm suggests the surety of total self-confidence. Blofeld translates this as Repose, explaining that the name was suggested to him by his Chinese advisors. We begin to understand this subtle distinction when we compare the seemingly obscure connection with music in the Image with a passage from Chuang- tse:
He who understands the music of heaven lives in accordance with nature in his life and takes part in the process of change of things in his death. In repose, his character is in harmony with the yin principle; in activity, his movement is in harmony with the yang principle. Therefore he who understands the music of heaven is not blamed by heaven or criticized by men ... It is said, "In action he is like heaven. In repose he is like the earth ... Because his mind has found repose, therefore the creation pays homage to him.”
To understand “the music of heaven” is to attain Repose, which is another way of describing the tranquility that comes with furthering the intent of the Self. The only dynamic line in the hexagram is in the minister's place just below the fifth-line ruler. He has the confidence of his sovereign and his actions therefore accord with heaven. We can turn to the Stoics to find an illustration of this idea:
My will is simply that which comes to pass. For I esteem what God wills better than what I will. To Him will I cleave as His minister and attendant; having the same movements, the same desires, in a word the same will as He. -- Epictetus
Thus we see that the hexagram can describe either one of two opposite conditions -- the intemperate Enthusiasm of ego-confidence (a synonym for Self-Deception), or the calm Repose of true SELF-confidence. The fifteenth and sixteenth hexagrams, each the inverse of the other, represent magnetic and dynamic aspects of the same general idea: Enthusiasm, when it emanates from the Self, is just Temperance in action.
Line 4
Legge: The fourth line, dynamic, shows him from whom the harmony and satisfaction come. Great is the success which he obtains. Let him not allow suspicions to enter his mind, and thus friends will gather around him.
Wilhelm/Baynes: The source of enthusiasm. He achieves great things. Doubt not. You gather friends around you as a hair clasp gathers the hair.
Blofeld: From repose, great results accrue. Harbor no doubts. Why should it be harmful to befriend this official? [The meaning of this terse question is not obvious; but the enquirer may find it apt in the context either of his question or of subsequent events.]
Liu: The source of happiness. One receives great gain without hesitation. Your friends are already successful.
Ritsema/Karcher: Antecedent Provision. The great possesses acquiring. No doubting. Partners join-together suddenly.
Shaughnessy: Really excess; if one greatly has gain, do not doubt; cowries and shells slander.
Cleary (1): Being the source of joy, there is great gain. Do not doubt. Companions gather.
Wu: Let merriment have its way. There is much to gain. No doubt about it. Friends will unite their hairpins.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: His aims take effect on a grand scale. Wilhelm/Baynes:
His will is done in great things. Blofeld: The first sentence indicates the fullest attainment of our will. Ritsema/Karcher: Purpose: the great moving indeed. Cleary (2): The aspiration is carried out greatly. Wu: His aspirations are fully realized.
Legge: The dynamic subject of line four is the agent to whom the happy condition is owing, and it is only necessary to caution him to maintain his confidence in himself and his purpose. His adherents and success will continue.
Anthony: The source of enthusiasm is in believing in our path and its ultimate success, because it is correct. We gather friends and helpers when this belief is strong enough that we do not try to convince people or contend with them. Contending comes from the ego, which secretly disbelieves.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man is confident, free of suspicions of others, and sincere in his dedication. He instills harmony and satisfaction among his associates. People gather around him in effective cooperation.
Wing: Harmonious times are approaching. It is safe to exhibit your confidence in the future. Your attitude will attract others to you, who will co-operate in your endeavors. In this way you can accomplish great deeds.
Editor: As the only dynamic line in the hexagram, line four is considered to be its ruler. When we note that Legge mentions "harmony and satisfaction" instead of "enthusiasm," we begin to see the meaning behind Blofeld's title of Repose. Indeed, his translation of the line begins: "From repose, great results accrue..." Wilhelm's version gives the idea of consolidating forces "as a hair clasp gathers the hair." Psychologically interpreted, a process of integration is symbolized. The line can sometimes be a gentle admonition to have faith in your own unconscious processes to advance the Work.
The One does not aspire to us, to move around us; we aspire to it, to move around it. Actually, we always move around it; but we do not always look. We are like a chorus grouped about a conductor who allow their attention to be distracted by the audience. If, however, they were to turn towards their conductor, they would sing as they should and would really be with him. We are always around The One. If we were not, we would dissolve and cease to exist. Yet our gaze does not remain fixed upon the One. When we look at it, we then attain the end of our desires and find rest. Plotinus -- The Enneads
A. A powerful force calmly organizes separate elements to effect a synthesis.
B. Quiet SELF-confidence inspires the allegiance of inner forces, accumulating energy for transformation.
Line 6
Legge: The sixth line, magnetic, shows its subject with darkened mind devoted to the pleasure and satisfaction of the time. But if she changes her course even when it may be considered as completed, there will be no error.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Deluded enthusiasm. But if after completion one changes, there is no blame.
Blofeld: Madcap repose. Fortunately a change takes place, so no blame is involved. [Madcap repose implies being tardy to the point of extreme rashness in the face of approaching danger or of a need to act.]
Liu: Deluded happiness. Change after completion. No blame.
Ritsema/Karcher: Dim Providing-for. Accomplishment: possessing denial. Without fault.
Shaughnessy: Dark excess; if complete perhaps you will be informed; there is no trouble.
Cleary (1): Oblivious in joy. What comes about has change; there is no blame.
Cleary (2): … What has come about changes, etc.
Wu: Merriment is obscured. There may be success, but changes are pending. There will be no error.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: How can one in such a condition continue for long? Wilhelm/Baynes: Deluded enthusiasm in a high place: how could this last? Blofeld: Since this is a top line, the state of madcap repose cannot possibly last long. Ritsema/Karcher: Dim Providing-for located above. Wherefore permitting long-living indeed? Cleary (2): Oblivion in joy is at the top. What can last? Wu: How can the situation continue for long?
Legge: The magnetic sixth line at the end of the hexagram is all but lost.
The action of the figure is over, and if she postpones changing her evil ways any longer, there is no hope remaining for her. However, there is still a chance of safety if she will but change.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man is distracted by pleasure and satisfaction. If he changes after the events of the day have run their course, however, the sober awakening will prevent future errors.
Wing: The person in this position is lost in the memory of a compelling and harmonious experience. The time is past, and what is left is empty egotism. Fortunately, reform is possible. There is an opportunity to move on to a situation of new growth.
Editor: This line has a similar auspice as that of its (improper) correlate in line three. Wilhelm's commentary states: "A sober awakening from false enthusiasm is quite possible and very favorable." Note that “no blame” is mentioned, suggesting that you are more ignorant than culpable in the situation at hand.
While he is in a state of bondage, that is while lusts and falsities rule, the man who is subjected by them supposes that he is in a state of freedom; but it is a gross falsity, for at the very time he is carried along by the delight of his lusts and of the pleasures derived from them, that is, by the delight of his loves; and because it is by a delight it appears to him as free. Everyone thinks himself free while he is being led by some love -- so long as he follows whithersoever it leads. Swedenborg -- Arcana Coelestia
A. Conquer your illusions and change your ways.
B. Illusions are shattered when pursued to their logical conclusions.

Jugement
Legge :Désintégration signifie qu'il n'est pas avantageux de se déplacer dans quelque direction que ce soit.
Wilhelm/Baynes :Séparation. Il n'est pas favorable d'aller nulle part.
Blofeld : Décollage. Actuellement, il n'y a pas de but (ou destination) qui puisse être recherché avec avantage. [Décollage dans le sens de se débarrasser des obstacles (ou des gêneurs) un par un. Les quatre premières lignes de cet hexagramme symbolisent un processus de libération progressive de tous ceux sur qui nous avons l'habitude de compter, car les forces des ténèbres sont en ascension et personne ne peut être digne de confiance. Cependant, à long terme, la vertu triomphe, comme l'indique la ligne cinq, et finalement nous sommes d'autant plus estimés pour notre constance, comme on peut le voir à partir de la ligne six.]
Liu : Décomposition. Il est défavorable d'entreprendre quoi que ce soit.
Ritsema/Karcher :Dépouillement pas de Récolte : posséder une direction. [Cet hexagramme décrit votre situation en termes de quelque chose de dépassé ou usé. Il souligne que l'élimination de ce qui est devenu inutilisable est la manière adéquate de le gérer...]
Shaughnessy : Écorchement : Pas bénéfique d'avoir un endroit où aller.
Cleary (1) :Dépouillement ne rend pas bénéfique d'aller nulle part.
Cleary (2) : … Il n'est pas bénéfique, etc.
Wu : Déchirure indique qu'il n'est pas avantageux d'avoir une entreprise.
L'Image
Legge : L'image d'une montagne adhérant à la terre forme Désintégration. Les supérieurs renforcent donc leurs inférieurs pour assurer la paix et la stabilité de leur propre position.
Wilhelm/Baynes : La montagne repose sur la terre : l'image de Séparation. Ainsi, ceux d'en haut ne peuvent assurer leur position qu'en donnant généreusement à ceux d'en bas.
Blofeld : Cet hexagramme symbolise une montagne reposant sur la terre. Les véritables grands répandent la générosité sur ceux qui sont sous eux pour leur permettre de vivre en paix et confort. [Les trigrammes supérieur et inférieur, montagne et Terre, symbolisent l'Homme Supérieur et le peuple sous sa garde.]
Liu : La montagne se dresse sur la terre, symbolisant Décomposition. Ceux d'en haut devraient agir avec bienveillance envers ceux d'en bas. Alors il y aura paix et sécurité.
Ritsema/Karcher : Montagne adjacente à la terre. Dépouillement. Utiliser la munificence au-dessus pour apaiser la position en dessous.
Cleary (1) : Les montagnes sont jointes à la terre. Ceux d'en haut sécurisent leurs foyers par la gentillesse envers ceux d'en bas.
Wu : La montagne est subordonnée à la terre ; c'est Déchirure. Ainsi, ceux d'en haut traitent ceux d'en bas avec des récompenses libérales pour sécuriser leurs propres positions.
COMMENTAIRE
Confucius/Legge :Désintégration signifie renverser ou être renversé : les lignes magnétiques attaquent la ligne dynamique en haut pour la changer en une d'elles-mêmes. Il est imprudent de se déplacer dans n'importe quelle direction car les éléments inférieurs augmentent maintenant en puissance. L'homme supérieur, observant cela, arrête tout mouvement en avant. Il se conforme à l'exigence du temps, réalisant que l'augmentation et la diminution, la maturité et la décomposition sont des rythmes cycliques.
Legge :Désintégration est le symbole de la chute ou de la cause de la chute, et se réfère au processus de décomposition ou de renversement dans les mondes naturel et politique. La figure se compose de cinq lignes yin en dessous et d'une ligne yang en haut. La décomposition a commencé en bas et s'est propagée vers le haut. L'hexagramme symbolise le neuvième mois lorsque l'été est passé et que l'année est sur le point de tomber dans les bras stériles de l'hiver. Dans le monde politique, les hommes inférieurs ont progressivement remplacé les bons hommes jusqu'à ce qu'il n'en reste qu'un. La leçon pour lui est d'attendre car le pouvoir opérant contre lui est trop fort. Finalement, un changement pour le mieux apparaîtra. L'image spécifique est celle d'un lit et de son occupant, et le symbolisme décrit les tentatives faites pour le renverser. Le trigramme inférieur de Docilité et le trigramme supérieur de Stabilité suggèrent à l'homme supérieur de la ligne six comment il peut mieux gérer les circonstances actuelles. La situation n'est pas désespérée -- l'hiver est suivi du printemps, la nuit par le jour, et la lune décroissante devient bientôt pleine à nouveau. Il en sera de même dans le cours des affaires humaines.
L'idée derrière l'Image est qu'une montagne a la terre pour fondation. Si la terre est épaisse, la montagne préserve sa hauteur. Il en est de même pour le souverain et le peuple.
NOTES ET PARAPHRASES
Jugement :Désintégration signifie ne pas agir.
L'Homme Supérieur stabilise ses réponses et cherche la tranquillité.
Le vingt-troisième hexagramme est l'inverse deRetour, l'hexagramme qui le suit immédiatement. Chaque figure dépeint un pôle opposé dans une progression cyclique. Ici, l'ancien cycle s'est désintégré au point de dissolution. L'hexagramme suivant dépeint leRetour au début d'un nouveau cycle.
Les quatre premières lignes de Désintégration montrent l'érosion progressive d'une position ou d'un cadre de référence, symbolisé par un lit ou un canapé. Les forces inférieures rampent d'en bas comme des termites pour saper une base solide. La cinquième ligne montre un rassemblement de forces pour une transformation potentiellement positive, et la ligne supérieure suggère les premiers stades de cette transformation. L'implication est que les temps de désintégration ne doivent pas toujours être considérés comme négatifs, ou comme une conclusion inévitable. Nous avons encore le choix de modifier les conditions en notre faveur.
Que l'homme supérieur "renforce ses inférieurs" pour assurer la stabilité de sa position, signifie que l'on stabilise sa situation psychologique en désamorçant les causes de rébellion -- sauvegarder la fondation là où elle est faible. L'hexagramme numéro quarante-trois, Résolution, est une image négative de cette figure, et le message dans l'Image est très similaire : "L'homme supérieur ne thésaurise pas sa richesse, mais la partage avec ses subordonnés." L'idée est subtile -- cela ne signifie pas céder à vos faiblesses, mais les surveiller de manière encourageante afin qu'elles puissent se transformer en forces positives.
Chaque fois que nous allons suffisamment en profondeur vers le noyau d'une sous-personnalité, nous découvrons que le noyau -- qui est un besoin ou une envie fondamentale -- est bon. À des fins pratiques, cela peut être considéré comme un absolu. Peu importe combien de couches de distorsion peuvent l'entourer, le besoin fondamental, la motivation fondamentale, est bon -- et s'il devient tordu, c'est parce qu'il n'a pas pu s'exprimer directement. Le vrai noyau -- pas ce que la sous-personnalité veut, mais ce dont elle a besoin -- est bon. Un objectif fondamental de la phase de coordination est de découvrir cette envie ou besoin central, de le rendre conscient, et de trouver des moyens acceptables pour qu'il puisse être satisfait et comblé. Et, à condition que nous ayons suffisamment de compréhension et de compétence, il peut être satisfait -- sinon pleinement, du moins suffisamment pour maintenir le processus de croissance.
