Judgment
Legge: Following indicates successful progress and no error through firm correctness.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Following has supreme success. Perseverance furthers. No blame.
Blofeld:Following. Sublime success! Righteous persistence brings reward -- no error! [This sublime success comes, of course, only to those who follow what is right, namely the will of heaven or of those whose own will embodies it.]
Liu:Following. Great success. It is of benefit to continue. No blame.
Ritsema/Karcher: Following. Spring Growing Harvesting Trial.
Without fault. [This hexagram describes your situation in terms of being impelled or drawn into moving forward. It emphasizes that yielding to the impulse by accepting guidance is the adequate way to handle it. To be in accord with the time, you are told to: follow!]
Shaughnessy:Following: Prime receipt; beneficial to determine; there is no trouble.
Cleary (1):Following is greatly developmental: it is beneficial if correct; then there is no fault.
Cleary (2): Following is very successful, etc.
Wu: Following is primordial, pervasive, prosperous, and persevering. There will be no blame.
The Image
Legge: Thunder in the marsh: the image of Following. The superior man, in accordance with this, at nightfall enters his house and rests.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Thunder in the middle of the lake: the image of Following. Thus the superior man at nightfall goes indoors for rest and recuperation.
Blofeld: This hexagram symbolizes thunder rumbling within a swamp! When darkness falls, the Superior Man goes within and rests peacefully. [The component trigrams can be read as thunder and marsh, but also as movement and joy. In the Book of Change, joy is frequently associated with willing obedience to and glad acceptance of what is right.]
Liu: Thunder in the lake symbolizesFollowing. In the evening, the superior man rests and relaxes in his home.
Ritsema/Karcher: Marsh center possessing thunder. Following. A chun tzu uses turning-to darkening to enter a reposing pause.
Cleary (1): There is thunder in the lake, Following. Thus do superior people go inside and rest when the sun goes down.
Cleary (2): … Leaders go in and rest at sundown.
Wu: Thunder in the marsh is the symbol of Following. Thus the jun zi retires toward the twilight of the day.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: In Followingthe dynamic trigram places itself under the magnetic. We see in them the attributes of Movement and Pleasure. Through firm correctness all under heaven will be found following at such a time.
Legge: Following comes after Enthusiasm, the symbol of harmony and satisfaction. When these conditions prevail men are sure to follow. The hexagram includes the ideas of both following others and being followed by others.(Emphasis mine, Ed.) The good auspice is due to this flexibility, but in either instance the following must be guided by a reference to what is correct. The lower trigram of Movement represents the eldest son, and the upper trigram of Pleasure represents the youngest daughter. The strong places itself under the weak -- esteeming others higher than himself, and giving the idea of following. The union of Movement with Pleasure suggests the same idea.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Judgment: Following means advancement through willpower.
The Superior Man rests on his inner virtue.
In Following, the trigram of Movement "follows" the trigram of Cheerfulness: independent action subordinates itself and allows itself to be led by cheerful obedience. In terms of the Work, this symbolizes our willingness to "follow" or adhere to its principles. Psychologically interpreted, Followingmeans the compliant subordination of ego-autonomy to the Great Work of psychic integration.
Blofeld points out that the trigram of Joy, or Cheerfulness is often associated with "willing obedience to and glad acceptance of what is right." Hence the cheerful following of the intent of the Self. He explains the role of the superior man in the Image as: "It is not hard to see the connection between following and resting peacefully; for, once we have given our allegiance to others [the Self], we no longer have to worry about what should be done."
At seventy ... Confucius allowed his mind to follow whatever it desired, yet everything he did was naturally right of itself. His actions no longer needed a conscious guide. He was acting without effort. This represents the last stage in the development of the sage. Fung Yu-Lan -- A Short History of Chinese Philosophy
When received without changing lines this hexagram often takes the meaning of: "To accord with" -- in such instances the answer is an affirmation to your query.
Line 1
Legge: The first line, dynamic, shows us one changing the object of his pursuit; if he is firmly correct there will be good fortune. Going beyond his own gate to find associates, he will achieve merit.
Wilhelm/Baynes: The standard is changing. Perseverance brings good fortune. To go out of the door in company produces deeds.
Blofeld: Those in power undergo a change -- righteous determination brings good fortune! Going forth from home and mingling with those outside will produce tangible results.
Liu: One's position is changing. To continue brings good fortune. Both friends and business are gained by going out. Success.
Ritsema/Karcher: An office: possessing denial. Trial: significant. Issuing-forth from the gate, mingling possesses achievement.
Shaughnessy: The office perhaps notifies; determination is auspicious; going out of the gate to interact has results.
Cleary (1): Standards change; it is good to be correct. Going outside and mixing is effective.
Cleary (2): … Interaction outside the gate is successful.
Wu: The way of conducting public affairs is subject to change. Perseverance will bring good fortune. Success can be had by communicating with people from without.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legg e: He will not fail in the method he pursues. Wilhelm/
Baynes: To follow what is correct brings good fortune. One does not lose oneself. Blofeld: The first sentence presages the good fortune derived from officials undergoing a change of heart and following what is right. The tangible results mentioned at the end of the passage imply that we shall not fail. Ritsema/Karcher: Adhering-to correcting significant indeed. Not letting-go indeed. Cleary (2): It is good to follow what is right …In the sense of not losing. Wu: Because following what is correct is auspicious … Because his position is not compromised.
Legge: The dynamic first line is the lord of the lower trigram. The magnetic lines ought to follow him, but he is beneath them in the lowest place in the figure. This suggests that he should change his pursuit. Because of his strength and correct position, he will be fortunate in this. Going beyond his gate for associates shows public spirit and an absence of selfish motivation.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: At the outset, the man changes his objectives. He will succeed if he remains firm in principle and goes beyond selfish considerations to mingle freely with those who do not share his feelings, as well as those who do.
Wing: A change is occurring, whether in your own objectives or in the situation around you. In order to accomplish something you should now communicate with persons of all persuasions and opinions. Yet remain internally principled and discerning.
Editor: Psychologically, an inner transformation is taking place. If this is the only moving line, hexagram number forty-five, Contraction, is created, so a (possibly unconscious) re-arrangement of attitudes and perceptions is suggested. To "go beyond one's own gate" implies a need to expand your horizons during a shift in the balance of forces.
When I reached thirty I looked back on my past. The previous victories were not due to my having mastered strategy. Perhaps it was natural ability, or the order of heaven, or that other schools' strategy was inferior. After that I studied morning and evening searching for the principle, and came to realize the Way of Strategy when I was fifty. Miyamoto Musashi -- A Book of Five Rings
A. Change your focus, marshal your forces, and seek wider horizons.
Line 2
Legge: The second line, magnetic, shows us one who cleaves to the little boy, and lets go the man of age and experience.
Wilhelm/Baynes: If one clings to the little boy, one loses the strong man.
Blofeld: He belongs to (i.e. puts himself at the service of) the boy and thereby loses the adult. [The implied meaning is that he rejects what is superior and follows what is inferior.]
Liu: By staying with the boy, you lose the strong man.
Ritsema/Karcher: Tied-to the small son. Letting-go the respectable husband.
Shaughnessy: Tying the little son, losing the senior fellow.
Cleary (1): Involved with the child, one loses the adult.
Wu: She clings to her child, but loses her husband.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: He cannot be with the two at the same time. Wilhelm/ Baynes: One cannot be with both at once. Blofeld: He cannot be of service to both of them. Ritsema/Karcher: Nowhere joining associating indeed. Cleary (2): One is not with both at once. Wu: Because she cannot have both.
Legge: Line two is magnetic. His proper correlate is the dynamic fifth line, but he prefers to cling to the line below him, instead of waiting to follow line five.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man surrounds himself with the incompetent and dismisses the experienced.
Wing: Examine your goals and the standards you have set for yourself. If they are unworthy, inferior, weak, or nonexistent, you will remain low, and you will lose contact with productive, competent, worthwhile influences. You are forced to make a choice.
Editor: The content of this line prevents using the usual gender symbolism. Nevertheless, the message is unambiguous.
Most people learn how to think as very young children, and throughout their adult lives, they do not think any differently than they did as children. That is to say, most people use their minds in a manner not essentially different from the way they did when they were six years old ... It is significant that in Kabbalah, one's normal mode of thinking is referred to as the "mentality of childhood." ... More advanced modes of thought and states of consciousness, on the other hand, are referred to as the "mentality of adulthood." Aryeh Kaplan -- Jewish Meditation
A. Immature attitudes preclude growth.
Line 3
Legge: The third line, magnetic, shows us one who cleaves to the man of age and experience, and lets go the little boy. Such following will get what it seeks, but it will be advantageous to adhere to firm correctness.
Wilhelm/Baynes: If one clings to the strong man, one loses the little boy. Through following one finds what one seeks. It furthers one to remain persevering.
Blofeld: He belongs to (i.e. is of service to) the adult and loses the boy. By following the former, he gains what he desires. It is advisable to make no move but to remain determined.
Liu: By staying with the strong man, you lose the boy. Through following, one will gain what one seeks. To continue benefits.
Ritsema/Karcher: Tied-to the respectable husband. Letting-go the small son. Following possessing seeking, acquiring. Harvesting: residing in Trial.
Shaughnessy: Tying the senior fellow, losing the little son; in following there is the seeking to get; beneficial to determine about dwelling.
Cleary (1): Involved with the adult, one loses the child. Following with an aim, one gains. It is beneficial to abide in rectitude.
Cleary (2): … It is good to remain correct.
Wu: She clings to her husband, but loses her child. Although she gets what she asks for, she will be privileged to remain persevering.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: By the decision of his will, he abandons the youth below. Wilhelm/Baynes: One's will gives up the one below. Blofeld: He is willing to give up what is inferior. Ritsema/Karcher: Below, purpose stowed-away indeed. Cleary (2): One’s aspiration leaves the low behind. Wu: Because she has given up her aspiration to hold on to what is below.
Legge: Line three is magnetic, but follows the dynamic line above it, thus abandoning the first line. This is just the opposite of the situation of the second line. It is magnetic, however, and line four is not its proper correlate: hence the conclusion of the paragraph is equivalent to a caution.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man joins with superior people and parts company with the superficial and the inferior.
Wing: You will find yourself parting ways with former inferior elements in your life as you make contact with worthwhile persons or ideals. By firmly following the superior path you will find what you are looking for, while your strength of character will greatly benefit.
Editor: The context of this line prevents using the gender symbolism employed in this book. It is opposite in meaning to line two, and unambiguous.
The divine principle in man, which constitutes him a human being, and by which he is eminently distinguished from the animals, is not a product of the earth, nor is it generated by the animal kingdom, but it comes from God; it is God, and is immortal, because, coming from a divine source, it cannot be otherwise than divine. Man should therefore live in harmony with his divine parent, and not in the animal elements of his soul. Man has an Eternal Father who sent him to reside and gain experience in the animal principles, but not for the purpose of being absorbed in them. Paracelsus -- DeFundamento Sapientiae
A. The image suggests a growth in perception. One exchanges an immature belief or attitude for a mature one.
Line 4
Legge: The fourth line, dynamic, shows us one followed and obtaining adherents. Though he is firm and correct, there will be evil. If he is sincere however in his course, and make that evident, into what error will he fall?
Wilhelm/Baynes: Following creates success. Perseverance brings misfortune. To go one's way with sincerity brings clarity. How could there be blame in this?
Blofeld: Following someone with an ulterior motive -- persisting in this course would bring misfortune. But, if as he goes his way he makes sincerity his beacon, what harm can come to him?
Liu: Success is gained by following. But to continue brings misfortune. Going the correct way leads to glory (brightness). How can there be blame?
Ritsema/Karcher: Following possessing catching. Trial: pitfall. Possessing conformity, locating-in tao uses brightening. Wherefore faulty? [Possessing conformity: "Inner and outer are in accord; confidence of the spirits has been captured..."]
Shaughnessy: In following there is a catch; determination is inauspicious. There is a return on the way; at the end of brightness, what trouble is there?
Cleary (1): Following has gain. Even if right, it is inauspicious. Truthfully remaining on the path, using understanding, what blame is there?
Cleary (2): Following gains, but it bodes ill even if right. Having faith in the way, thereby understanding, what fault is there?
Wu: To have a following may be advantageous. Despite perseverance, it will be foreboding. With confidence in his course, he can explain his intention. What blame can there be?
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: "He is followed and obtains adherents" -- according to the idea of the hexagram, this is evil. "He is sincere in his course" -- showing his intelligence, and leading to achievement. Wilhelm/Baynes: This bodes misfortune...This brings clear-sighted deeds. Blofeld: Following others with ulterior motives is surely evil; whereas sincerity along the way produces brilliant results. Ritsema/Karcher: One's righteousness: pitfall indeed... Brightening achieving indeed. Cleary (2): When following gains, the meaning is inauspicious. Having faith in the way, the understanding is successful. Wu: With confidence in his course, he can be successful.
Legge: Line four is dynamic, and in the place of a minister next to the ruler in line five. His having adherents will be injurious to the authority of the supreme ruler, and only sincere loyalty will save him from error and misfortune.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man acquires followers who flatter, scheme, and act subservient to seek personal gains. There is a chance that he will become dependent on them because of gratifying associations, which will detract from his authority in his position of influence. He must see through such adherents and free himself from egotistical encumbrances.
Wing: Those whom you appear to influence actually have ulterior motives in their allegiance to you. Look beyond the current flattering situation into your original principled aim. Strive to act independently.
Editor: The line is a clear warning about being corrupted by the projections of others. Viewed objectively, the ego is only a temporary personality created for the purpose of transforming psychic energy – a transitional tool or vessel emanated into matter by the Self for one brief lifetime. It is only a servant--never a master. Long dedication to the Work can concentrate power which the ego may be tempted to use for its own benefit--a dangerous seduction which can only harm the Work.
By permitting credulous and vulgar admirers to congregate about thee, there is liability of falling into the error of becoming puffed up with worldly pride. Guru Gampopa --Precepts of the Gurus
A. Don't let power go to your head. Sincerity prevents ego-trips.
B. Beware of elements which would distract you from the Work. That which seems "reasonable" is often just the voice of a demon: a temptation for the misuse of power.
C. What worked previously is now obsolete. A new strategy is now appropriate.

Jugement
Legge : Bien qu'un site de ville puisse être modifié, Le Puits reste le même. Son niveau d'eau ne disparaît ni ne reçoit de grande augmentation, et les gens peuvent y puiser librement. Le malheur survient si la corde se casse ou si le seau se brise avant d'atteindre l'eau.
Wilhelm/Baynes :Le Puits. La ville peut être changée, mais le puits ne peut être changé. Il ne diminue ni n'augmente. Ils viennent et vont et puisent au puits. Si l'on descend presque jusqu'à l'eau et que la corde ne va pas jusqu'au bout, ou que la cruche se casse, cela apporte le malheur.
Blofeld : Un Puits. Une ville peut être déplacée, mais pas un puits. [La construction d'une ville dépend de nous-mêmes ; mais les puits ne peuvent être déplacés vers des endroits où la nature ne fournit pas d'eau. L'implication est que nos activités sont limitées par les conditions naturelles.] Un puits ne souffre ni de diminution ni d'augmentation ; mais souvent, lorsque les gens viennent y puiser de l'eau, la corde est trop courte ou le pichet se casse avant d'atteindre l'eau -- malheur ! [Ce que nous désirons est là à prendre, mais nous pouvons ne pas réussir à l'obtenir.]
Liu : Le Puits. La ville pourrait être déplacée ; mais pas le puits. Il ne déborde ni ne s'assèche. Les gens vont et viennent, puisant au puits. La corde atteint presque l'eau, mais pas tout à fait ; la cruche se casse -- malheur.
Ritsema/Karcher : Le Puits : modifier la capitale, ne pas modifier le Puits. Sans perdre, sans acquérir. Aller, venir : Puiser, Puiser. Culmination boueuse : vraiment pas encore la corde du puits. Ruiner son pichet : Écueil. [Cet hexagramme décrit votre situation en termes de l'eau de vie venant des profondeurs que tout le monde peut puiser. Il souligne que maintenir l'accès à cette source centrale est la manière adéquate de la gérer. Pour être en accord avec le temps, on vous dit d'aller au puits !]
Shaughnessy : Le Puits : Changer la ville mais ne pas changer le puits ; il n'y a pas de perte, il n'y a pas de gain. Aller et venir si ordonné ; quand le dessèchement arrive, on n'a pas encore puisé du puits ; alourdir son pichet en terre cuite formé ; inauspicieux.
Cleary (1) :Le Puits : Changer le village, ne pas changer le puits ; pas de perte, pas de gain. Ceux qui viennent et vont utilisent le puits comme un puits. Si la corde n'atteint pas tout le chemin dans le puits, ou si le seau se casse, c'est malheureux.
Cleary (2) : … Les gens vont et viennent, mais le puits reste un puits. Abaisser le seau à l'eau, si vous renversez le seau avant de le remonter du puits, c'est malchanceux.
Wu :Le Puits indique que la planification d'un district peut être changée, mais l'emplacement du puits ne peut pas. Le niveau d'eau d'un puits n'augmentera ni ne diminuera par l'utilisation. Il y a des puits ici et là. Lorsqu'on puise de l'eau d'un puits, si l'on embrouille la corde et endommage le seau juste avant qu'il ne sorte du puits, cela sera de mauvais augure.
L'Image
Legge : L'image de l'eau sur le bois forme Le Puits. L'homme supérieur réconforte le peuple et stimule leur coopération mutuelle.
Wilhelm/Baynes : L'eau sur le bois : l'image du Puits. Ainsi l'homme supérieur encourage le peuple dans son travail et l'exhorte à s'entraider.
Blofeld : Cet hexagramme symbolise l'eau sur le bois. L'Homme Supérieur encourage le peuple avec des conseils et de l'assistance.
Liu : L'eau sur le bois symbolise Le Puits. L'homme supérieur inspire les gens à travailler avec diligence et les conseille de s'entraider.
Ritsema/Karcher : Au-dessus du bois possédant un ruisseau. Le Puits. Un chun tzu utilise les travailleurs pour encourager la mutualisation.
Cleary (1) : Il y a de l'eau au-dessus du bois – Un Puits. Ainsi les personnes supérieures réconfortent le peuple et encouragent la réciprocité.
Wu : Il y a de l'eau au-dessus du bois ; c'est Le Puits. Ainsi, le jun zi encourage les gens à travailler pour le bien public et à s'entraider pour une vie meilleure.
COMMENTAIRE
Confucius/Legge : Le bois pénètre l'eau et la soulève, donnant l'image duPuits qui nourrit mais n'est pas épuisé. Les lignes dynamiques centrales aux deuxième et cinquième places indiquent que le site de la ville peut changer, mais le puits ne le fait pas. Si la corde n'atteint pas l'eau, le puits ne sert pas son but. Un seau cassé entraîne le mal.
Legge : Le trigramme supérieur représente l'Eau, et le trigramme inférieur symbolise le Bois, donnant l'image d'un seau en bois dans l'eau d'un puits. Ce qui est dit sur cet hexagramme pourrait être intitulé : "Leçons à tirer d'un puits pour le bon gouvernement d'un pays." Un puits est pour ses utilisateurs ce qu'un gouvernement est pour ses sujets, et si les dirigeants appliquaient seulement les anciens préceptes de gouvernement aux circonstances actuelles, ils et leur peuple en bénéficieraient grandement.
Dans le Jugement, nous voyons le puits rester substantiellement le même à travers de nombreux changements de société -- une source fiable de rafraîchissement pour ses utilisateurs. Comme la mode du puits reste inchangée, de même les principes de la nature humaine et du bon gouvernement. La valeur du puits dépend de l'eau étant puisée et utilisée -- et ainsi les principes du bon gouvernement doivent être mis en œuvre.
Anthony : Cet hexagramme indique généralement que nous avons un doute ou une peur cachée. Nous pouvons secrètement ne pas croire en notre chemin.
NOTES ET PARAPHRASES
Jugement : Au milieu des changements de la vie, la seule constante est la psyché elle-même -- être vivant, c'est puiser dans son énergie. Le défi de l'ego réside dans la compréhension correcte de ses images.
L'Homme Supérieur favorise l'interaction harmonieuse de ses pensées et sentiments. (Travaille sur l'intégration de ses complexes.)
Un puits est un symbole universel d'une source de vérité intérieure, et est souvent associé à un lieu sacré pour les dieux :
Là, il construisit un autel et invoqua le nom de Yahweh. Là, il dressa sa tente, et là, les serviteurs d'Isaac creusèrent un puits. Genèse 26: 25
Du premier puits, qui est de nature animale et profond, le père boit, avec ses enfants et son bétail ; du second, qui est encore plus profond et à la marge même de la nature, ne boivent que les enfants des hommes, à savoir ceux dont la raison s'est éveillée et que nous appelons philosophes ; du troisième, le plus profond de tous, boivent les fils du Très-Haut, que nous appelons dieux et vrais théologiens. Cardinal Nicolas de Cusa
Interprété psychologiquement, un puits symbolise la psyché inconsciente qui coule continuellement, la source de toute conscience. Dans cet hexagramme, chaque ligne représente un niveau à l'intérieur du puits -- par extension suggérant une hiérarchie de valeur dans l'inconscient. Il est important de se rappeler que toutes nos images intérieures, intuitions ou impulsions ne viennent pas du Soi. Notez que les lignes un à quatre montrent toutes l'eau du puits n'étant pas utilisée pour une raison ou une autre -- seulement dans les lignes trois, cinq et six est-elle réellement disponible pour l'utilisation.
Chez certains individus sensibles, il y a un éveil des perceptions parapsychologiques. Ils ont des visions, qu'ils croient être d'êtres exaltés ; ils peuvent entendre des voix, ou commencer à écrire automatiquement, acceptant les messages à leur valeur nominale et les obéissant sans réserve. La qualité de ces messages est très variée. Parfois, ils contiennent de beaux enseignements, mais ils doivent toujours être examinés avec beaucoup de discernement et de jugement sain, sans être influencés par leur origine inhabituelle ou par toute revendication de leur prétendu transmetteur. Aucune validité ne doit être attribuée aux messages contenant des ordres définis et commandant une obéissance aveugle, et à ceux tendant à exalter la personnalité du récipiendaire. Roberto Assagioli --Psychosynthèse
Le point de vue de l'ego par rapport au Puits est de l'extérieur regardant à l'intérieur – les aperçus émergent de sous la surface de la conscience et ne peuvent être tenus à la lumière de la conscience que si la compréhension de l'on est capable de les contenir. Si "le seau se casse," notre compréhension est inégale à notre observation et les aperçus sont perdus. (On pourrait plausiblement trouver l'image d'un remède contre le cancer dans sa psyché, mais sans un cadre de référence conscient pour le reconnaître, il ne serait pas reconnu et perdu.) Ceux qui surveillent de près leurs rêves savent qu'il y a un flot incessant d'images étranges dans la psyché qui pourraient être d'une valeur inestimable si seulement nous savions à quoi elles se réfèrent.
Wilhelm souligne l'idée de "nourrir le peuple," ce qui signifie psychologiquement que le rôle de l'ego est de faciliter la coopération des forces intra-psychiques.
La solution réside, plutôt, dans les lignes d'une intégration harmonieuse de toutes les pulsions dans la personnalité totale, d'abord par la subordination et la coordination appropriées, puis par la transformation et la sublimation du quota excessif ou inutilisé d'énergie. Roberto Assagioli --Psychosynthèse
