Judgment

Legge: Approach means successful progress through firm correctness. In the eighth month there will be evil.

Wilhelm/Baynes : Approach has supreme success. Perseverance furthers. When the eighth month comes, there will be misfortune.

Blofeld:Approach.Sublime success! Righteous persistence brings reward. However, when the eighth month is reached, misfortune will befall. [The eighth moon of the lunar calendar corresponds approximately to September.]

Liu: Approach. Great Success. It is of benefit to continue. When the eighth month arrives, then there will be misfortune.

Ritsema/Karcher: Nearing, Spring Growing Harvesting Trial. Culminating tending-towards the eighth moon: possessing a pitfall. [This hexagram describes your situation in terms of approaching and being approached. It emphasizes that acting without immediately expecting to attain what you desire is the adequate way to handle it...]

Shaughnessy: The Forest: Prime receipt; beneficial to determine; arriving at the eighth month there is inauspiciousness.

Cleary (1):Overseeing is creative and developmental, beneficial if correct. In the eighth month there is misfortune.

Cleary (2):Overseeing is very successful, beneficial if correct. If you go on until the eighth month, there will be misfortune. [If you ride on the momentum of the time and do not know to turn back, at a certain point deterioration will inevitably set in, after flourishing has reached its climax, and there will surely be misfortune.]

Wu:Condescension is great, pervasive, and persevering, etc. [Condescension as used in several judgments has two meanings: to condescend (or to look down from a higher position) and to press forward with authority.]

Hua-Ching Ni: Advance. It is beneficial to go forward with a positive attitude, but be mindful of the cyclical nature of things.

 

The Image

Legge: The earth over a marsh -- the image of Approach. The superior man is inexhaustible in his instruction and unflagging in his nourishing support of the people.

Wilhelm/Baynes: The earth above the lake: the image of Approach. Thus the superior man is inexhaustible in his will to teach, and without limits in his tolerance and protection of the people.

Blofeld: This hexagram symbolizes land rising above a marsh. The Superior Man's teaching and his affection for his juniors are inexhaustible. Nothing hinders him in his care for the people. [The lower component trigram suggests the nourishment which the Superior Man gives joyfully to others. The upper trigram symbolizes the great bulk of those who benefit.]

Liu: The earth above the lake symbolizes Approach. The superior man's will for instruction has no limit. He is boundless in his support and protection of the people.

Ritsema/Karcher: Above marsh possessing earth. Nearing. A chun tzu uses teaching to ponder without exhausting. [A chun tzu uses] tolerating to protect the commoners without delimiting.

Cleary (1): Above the lake there is earth, overseeing. Superior people use

inexhaustibility of education and thought to embrace and protect the people without bound.

Wu: There is ground above the marsh; this is Condescension. Thus the jun zi realizes that there is no limit to the ideas of education and there is no boundary in the protection of people.

COMMENTARY

Confucius/Legge: In Approach we see the dynamic lines gradually increasing and advancing. The lower trigram is the symbol of Being Pleased, and the upper of Being Compliant. The strong line is in the central position, and is properly responded to. It is the way of heaven to bring progress and success through firm correctness, however the advancing power will decay after no long time.

Legge: Approach suggests the approach of authority -- to inspect, to comfort or to rule. The figure shows two dynamic lines advancing on the four magnetic lines above them. Their action will be powerful and successful, but it must be governed by rectitude and a caution that understands the nature of continuous change.

 

NOTES AND PARAPHRASES

Judgment: Two steps forward are followed by one step backward.

The Superior Man remains true to the Work regardless of fluctuations within the psyche.

The meaning of Approach is derived from the two dynamic lines advancing from below to encounter the magnetic lines above. These two are firm allies, and the action of the superior man in the Image suggests that their ascent is one of benevolent regard for the welfare of their subordinates -- only the third line need change for the hexagram to become number eleven, Harmony. We are reminded of the proper relationship between the ego and the Self -- when they advance together, the magnetic forces in the rest of the psyche are eventually transformed.

This hexagram recognizes the inevitably slow progress of the Work (" Rome wasn't built in a day"), and that advances are always followed by retreats. The point is that if one maintains the will to advance, one can be confident that the Work is advancing, regardless of appearances.

(Confucius) tried his best, but the issue he left to Ming. Ming is often translated as Fate, Destiny or Decree. To Confucius, it meant the Decree of Heaven or Will of Heaven ... Thus to know Ming means to acknowledge the inevitability of the world as it exists, and so to disregard one's external success or failure. If we can act in this way, we can, in a sense, never fail. For if we do our duty that duty through our very act is morally done, regardless of the external success or failure of our action.
Fung Yu-Lan -- A Short History of Chinese Philosophy

Without changing lines, the hexagram suggests a progressive advance in the matter at hand. Nature being what it is however, no advance can be sustained indefinitely and an eventual regression can be expected. (This observation is such a truism that we must assume it is more than usually applicable to the current situation.)


Line 4

Legge: The fourth line, magnetic, shows one advancing in the highest mode.

There will be no error.

Wilhelm/Baynes: Complete approach. No blame.

Blofeld: A perfect approach -- no error!

Liu: Complete approach brings no blame.

Ritsema/Karcher: Culmination Nearing. Without fault.

Shaughnessy: Arriving at the forest; there is no trouble.

Cleary (1): Consummate overseeing is blameless. [Being weak yet preserving rectitude, refining oneself and mastering the mind, thereby awaiting the newborn positive energy, is called consummate overseeing. Watching over the quintessential, when the great medicine appears one naturally does not make the mistake of missing it.]

Cleary (2): Consummate overseeing is impeccable. [In Buddhist terms, this represents using correct concentration corresponding to correct insight.]

Wu: Condescending at the right place is without blame.

Hua-Ching Ni: Correct advancement. No fault.

 

COMMENTARY

Confucius/Legge: This is due to the various appropriateness of the position. Wilhelm/Baynes: For the place is the appropriate one. Blofeld: This is indicated by the suitable position of this line. Ritsema/Karcher: Situation appropriate indeed. Cleary (2): In the right place. Wu: His position is proper.

Legge: Line four, though magnetic, is in her proper place and has for her correlate the dynamic first line. Hence her advance is in the highest style.

 

NOTES AND PARAPHRASES

Siu: The man advances to a high place because of the appropriateness of his ideas and behavior and the open-mindedness of a person of high rank who draws men of competence into service.

Wing: Your Promotion is well executed. Regardless of any difficulties you may encounter in assuming your new position, your behavior is so appropriate that you can continue successfully on your way.

Editor: The image suggests that the conscious attitude is in accordance with the aims and goals of the Work. Depending on the context of your query, some kind of fruition is indicated: something is concluding as fated or willed.

But, O my friend, if this be true, there is great reason to hope that, going whither I go, when I have come to the end of my journey, I shall attain that which has been the pursuit of my life. And therefore I go on my way rejoicing, and not I only, but every other man who believes that his mind has been made ready and that he is in a manner purified.
Plato -- Phaedo

A. The Work is progressing as it should. It's all coming together now.

Line 6

Legge: The sixth line, magnetic, shows the advance of honesty and generosity. There will be good fortune, and no error.

Wilhelm/Baynes: Greathearted approach. Good fortune. No blame.

Blofeld: A magnanimous approach -- good fortune, no error.

Liu: Benevolent approach brings good fortune. No blame.

Ritsema/Karcher: Magnanimity Nearing. Significant. Without fault.

Shaughnessy: Thick forest; auspicious; there is no trouble.

Cleary (2): Attentive overseeing is good and blameless.

Wu: Condescending with honesty is auspicious, etc.

Hua-Ching Ni: Sincere advancing. Good Fortune. No blame.

 

COMMENTARY

Confucius/Legge: This is because her will is focused on the first two lines of the lower trigram. Wilhelm/Baynes: The will is directed inward. Blofeld: This good fortune arises from concealing our will within our hearts. [This would seem to mean that, for the present, we should gladly accord with others and carefully conceal our aims.] Ritsema/Karcher: Purpose located inside indeed. Cleary (2): The good of attentive overseeing is in the will being within. Wu: Because his aspiration is directed inward.

Legge: Line six is at the top of the upper trigram of Docility. Although the first and second lines of the hexagram are not her proper correlates, it is proper for the yin to seek for the yang, and it is emphatically so in this case.

 

NOTES AND PARAPHRASES

Siu: The sage returns from retirement to teach and help others, who greatly benefit from his experience.

Wing: The person in this position will allow others to benefit from the wealth of his experience. Such generosity will bring unaccountable progress to all concerned. This is a true moment of greatness.

Editor: An "advance of honesty" suggests truth: to be "honest" about something is to acknowledge its truth. "Generosity" implies the unselfish acceptance of this truth: perhaps a tolerant concession to a less-than-perfect status quo. Wilhelm renders the Confucian commentary in the imagery of the will being directed inward; Blofeld interprets it as magnanimity coupled with a hidden agenda which is not inconsistent with good will. Ritsema/ Karcher's "Purpose located inside indeed," reinforces this idea. Tolerance or leniency is definitely implied: Wilhelm describes a sage, retired from the world, generously lending his wisdom to the people. Psychologically, the image can suggest that advance in the situation at hand consists of turning inward for support: the developing ego concentrates on connecting with the perfect will of the Self.

Since the mind which persuades and that which is persuaded are one in their basic unity, true persuasion consists in revealing the truth of the oneness of existence.
Prince Shotoku

A. A charitable forbearance with an imperfect world makes room for the Work to grow.

B. Ego/Self alignment facilitates profitable interaction with others.

Jugement

Legge : Malgré l'Aliénation Mutuelle, il y aura du succès dans les petites affaires.

Wilhelm/Baynes :Opposition. Dans les petites affaires, bonne fortune.

Blofeld : L'Éloignement -- bonne fortune dans les petites affaires.

Liu : Opposition. Dans les petites choses, bonne fortune.

Ritsema/Karcher :Polarisation, Petites Affaires significatives. [Ce hexagramme décrit votre situation en termes de choses qui sont connectées mais ne devraient pas se joindre. Il souligne que mettre les choses en opposition tout en reconnaissant leur lien essentiel est la manière adéquate de le gérer...]

Shaughnessy : Perversion : Les petites affaires sont de bon augure.

Cleary (1) : Disharmonie. Une petite affaire se déroulera bien.

Cleary (2) : Opposition, Etc.

Wu : Incongruité indique qu'il est de bon augure de faire de petites choses.

 

L'Image

Legge : L'image du feu sur un marais forme l'Aliénation Mutuelle. L'homme supérieur, en accord avec cela, accepte les diversités qui composent le tout.

Wilhelm/Baynes : Au-dessus le feu ; en dessous le lac : l'image de l'Opposition. Ainsi, au milieu de toute communauté, l'homme supérieur conserve son individualité.

Blofeld : Ce hexagramme symbolise le feu au-dessus et un lac marécageux en dessous. L'Homme Supérieur atteint la différence par l'unité.

Liu : Le feu au-dessus du lac symbolise l'Opposition. Vivant avec le peuple, l'homme supérieur distingue parmi eux.

Ritsema/Karcher : Feu au-dessus, marais en dessous. Polarisation. Un chun tzu utilise la concorde et aussi la division. [Cf. Solve et Coagula—Ed.]

Cleary (1) : Au-dessus est le feu, en dessous est un lac, disparate. Ainsi, les personnes supérieures sont les mêmes mais différentes.

Cleary (2) : Au-dessus est le feu, en dessous est un lac – opposé. Les personnes développées, etc.

Wu : Le feu au-dessus et le marais en dessous forment l'Incongruité. Ainsi, le Jun zi emprunte des chemins séparés, mais arrive au même but.

 

COMMENTAIRE

Confucius/Legge : Dans l'Aliénation Mutuelle, nous voyons le feu monter et l'eau descendre. Nous voyons deux sœurs vivant ensemble dont les volontés vont dans des directions opposées. Cependant, le trigramme inférieur de la Joie est attaché au trigramme supérieur de la Clarté, et la cinquième ligne magnétique est répondue par la deuxième ligne dynamique ; ce sont des signes qu'il peut encore y avoir de la bonne fortune dans les petites affaires. Le ciel et la terre sont séparés et à part, mais le travail qu'ils accomplissent est le même. L'homme et la femme sont séparés et à part, mais avec une volonté commune, ils cherchent le même objet. Il y a une diversité entre les myriades de classes d'êtres, mais il y a une analogie entre leurs diverses opérations. Grands en effet sont les phénomènes et les résultats de cette condition de désunion et de séparation.

Legge : L'Aliénation Mutuelle montre une condition dans laquelle la désunion et la méfiance prévalent. Le hexagramme enseigne comment cet état de choses peut être surmonté dans les petites affaires et la voie préparée pour la guérison de tout le système. Les commentateurs suggèrent que la condition symbolisée ici est une suite nécessaire à la régulation de la famille dans le hexagramme précédent.

Les éditeurs de K'ang-hsi observent que dans de nombreux hexagrammes, nous avons deux filles vivant ensemble, mais que seulement dans celui-ci et le numéro quarante-neuf, l'attention y est appelée. La raison en est que dans ces deux diagrammes, les sœurs sont la deuxième et la troisième filles, tandis que dans les autres, l'une d'elles est l'aînée, dont la place et la supériorité sont fixées, de sorte qu'entre elle et l'une des autres, il ne peut y avoir de division ou de collision. La leçon dans le commentaire confucéen n'est pas l'unité dans la diversité, mais l'union avec diversité.

 

NOTES ET PARAPHRASES

Jugement : En résolvant les différends, commencez par leurs aspects les moins controversés.

L'Homme Supérieur respecte les points de vue alternatifs.

Retournez le hexagramme de Famille et vous obtenez le hexagramme de l'Aliénation Mutuelle. Le contraire de l'unité familiale est l'éloignement, qui combiné avec l'idée de polarité, suggère le type de "repoussement" énergétique que l'on ressent lorsque deux aimants en fer à cheval sont appariés aux mêmes pôles. Malgré cette opposition cependant, chaque ligne traite positivement la situation -- il n'y a pas une image dans le hexagramme qui n'évoque une résolution éventuelle.

Le trente-huitième hexagramme met encore plus l'accent que d'habitude sur les relations (polarités) existant entre ses lignes corrélatives. Cela suggère que les connexions internes surpassent tout éloignement superficiel. L'Aliénation Mutuelle n'est donc pas une condition permanente -- elle représente plus un défi qu'un désastre. Toute polarité est une énergie potentielle pour accomplir un travail utile, et dans ce hexagramme, les polarités sont plus que d'habitude disponibles à cette fin. Cela ne signifie pas que le travail ici est nécessairement facile, juste qu'il offre une grande opportunité de croissance.

Une crise se développe lorsque quelque pression ou événement crée un état de déséquilibre inconfortable qui ne répond pas aux défenses et mécanismes d'adaptation habituels. Elle implique un danger avec à la fois un risque considérable d'aggravation et une opportunité de croissance (avec amélioration de l'intuition, de la maîtrise et de l'estime de soi) ... Le patient doit être éduqué pour comprendre sa situation et aidé à voir que les épisodes douloureux peuvent s'avérer faire partie d'un processus constructif, et ne sont pas la preuve d'une issue désastreuse.
