Other titles: According With, Acquiring Followers, Adapting, Adjusting, To Accord With, To Accompany, Concordance, Conformance to The Work, "Learn to serve in order to rule. Quit the old ways." -- D.F. Hook
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 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.
Line 5
Legge: The fifth line, dynamic, shows us the ruler sincere in fostering all that is excellent. There will be good fortune.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Sincere in the good. Good fortune.
Blofeld: Confidence is admirable -- good fortune! [ Confidence in the context of this hexagram implies perfect trust in those we follow.]
Liu: There is confidence in goodness. Good Fortune.
Confucius/Legge: His position is correct and in the center. Wilhelm/ Baynes: The place is correct and central. Blofeld: The suitable position of this line. Ritsema/Karcher: Situation correctly centering indeed. Cleary (2): Because the state is correctly balanced. Wu: Because his position is correct and central.
Legge: Line five is dynamic in his central and correct place, with line two as a proper correlate. Hence the auspicious symbolism.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The ruler fosters excellence, which brings on good fortune.
Wing: If you sincerely insist upon the very best, the chances are that you will get it. Set your sights high. Good fortune.
Editor: Wilhelm points out that the ruler in line five "follows" the sage in line six, who represents the way of heaven -- or, in our terms, the ideals of the Work. When the "ruler" (psychologically in this case, the ego) follows the way of heaven (the Work), then his subjects (inner aspects) will follow him, and the kingdom (psyche) will prosper.
Everything that happens to us, properly understood, leads us back to ourselves; it is as though there were some unconscious guidance whose aim it is to deliver us from all ties and all dependence and make us dependent on ourselves. Jung --Letters
A. Your attitude is in accordance with the advancement of the Work.
Line 6
Legge: The sixth line, magnetic, shows us that sincerity held and clung to, yea, and bound fast. We see the king with it presenting his offerings on the Western Mountain.
Wilhelm/Baynes: He meets with firm allegiance and is still further bound. The king introduces him to the Western Mountain.
Blofeld: He obtained people's allegiance and his followers clung to him. During the time he spent on the Western Mountain, the King made sacrifice.
Liu: Deeply involved with one's fellows, one tries to continue. The King offers the Western Mountain.
Ritsema/Karcher: Grappling, tying-to it. Thereupon adhering holding-fast-to it. The king availing-of Growing tending- towards the Western mountain.
Shaughnessy: Grabbing and tying him, and thereafter binding him; the king uses aromatic grass on the western mountain.
Cleary (1): Binding and tying up; the king sacrifices on west mountain.
Cleary (2): In a binding involvement, the king sacrifices on the western mountain.
Wu: He is constrained and bound in order to follow. May a king make offerings to the gods of the western mountain.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: The idea of the hexagram has reached its extreme development. Wilhelm/Baynes: At the top it ends. Blofeld: Those above us have exhausted their merit. Ritsema/Karcher: Exhausting the above indeed.
Cleary (2): This is the upper impasse of involvement. Wu: Because he has reached the upper limit.
Legge: The concept of Followingreaches its highest representation in the topmost line. The action, directed by the most sincere devotion to what is right, influences both men and spiritual beings. The Western Mountain is Mt. Khi, at the foot of which was the original settlement of the house of Kau in 1325 B.C.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The sage, who is retired, is recalled by the king because of his unique qualifications. The faithful and effective subject is rewarded.
Wing: You are called upon, by virtue of your wisdom and expertise, to lead another. You will unquestionably become involved, but you will be rewarded for your unselfish commitment.
Editor: Psychologically, Legge's commentary suggests the idea of devotion and sacrifice uniting forces in both conscious and unconscious realms of the psyche. The Confucian commentary suggests that the principle of Followingcomes to an end when ego and Self merge. To offer a sacrifice on the peak of the Western mountain: a high spiritual place where the sun sets (an image of the completed Work), implies this. Getting this line doesn't mean the Work is literally completed (it never is in this space-time dimension), but that you have probably integrated some significant inner complexes. Compare this line with 46:4.
The surrender of the limited purposes of the ego to the much larger goals of the Self -- goals within which the lesser egoic purposes are in fact meaningfully encompassed -- does not do away with the sense of freedom. On the contrary, only by subordinating the limitations of the ego to the Self do we truly justify our freedom and do we meaningfully validate our responsibility for our actions and decisions. S.A. Hoeller -- The Gnostic Jung
A. Devotion to the Work brings unity to the psyche.
23 Se séparer
Autres titres : Séparation, Le symbole de la Chute ou de l'Écorchement, Décollage, Décomposition, Écorchement, Dépouillement, Intrigue, Détérioration, Effondrement, Fracturation, Déchirure, Désintégration, Ruine, Effilochage, "Peut se référer à une séparation physique. Créer une base sécurisée." -- D.F. Hook
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. James Vargiu -- Sous-personnalités
