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 2

Legge: The second line, dynamic, shows its subject advancing in company with the subject of the first line. There will be good fortune; advancing will be in every way advantageous.

Wilhelm/Baynes: Joint approach. Good fortune. Everything furthers.

Blofeld: All approach -- good fortune! Nothing is unfavorable. [All approach can be taken to mean that all things desirable are converging upon us.]

Liu: To approach with sincerity brings good fortune. It is beneficial for everything.

Ritsema/Karcher: Conjunction Nearing: significant. Without not Harvesting.

Shaughnessy: Prohibited forest; auspicious; there is nothing not beneficial.

Cleary (2): Sensitive overseeing is good, beneficial all around. [The second yang is also in the momentum of gradually increasing strength, but at this point it is best to keep still and not ride on the momentum to try to advance; then it will be good and beneficial all around.]

Wu: Pressing forward with a companion will be auspicious. Everything will be advantageous.

Hua-Ching Ni: Impartial advance without prejudice continues…

 

COMMENTARY

Confucius/Legge: This is because those to whom the advance is made are not yet obedient to the ordinances of heaven. Wilhelm/Baynes: One need not yield to fate. Blofeld: This indicates that there is nevertheless some disobedience. Ritsema/Karcher: Not-yet yielding-to fate indeed. Cleary (2): This is addressed to those who are not yet in harmony with the universal order. Wu: There are still those who do not obey the ordinances of heaven. [Since prosperity of the yang is considered a good omen and meets the approval of heaven, presence of the four yin in the yang’s path of advance is indicative of disobeying the ordinances of heaven.]

Legge: Line two is dynamic, but in a magnetic place. This is counterbalanced by the central position and the proper correlate in line five.

 

NOTES AND PARAPHRASES

Siu: People who are not obedient to the ways of heaven are induced to follow the steadfast man in a high position. The future will be advantageous in every way.

Wing: What you propose to do wins sympathy and support from higher forces. So correct are your ideals that you can overcome even inherent difficulties. The future is bright indeed.

Editor: The differences in meaning between lines one and two are extremely slight in English translation. Cleary’s Buddhist commentary on the line suggests the idea of controlling the momentum of an otherwise favorable action. (See also his commentary on the Judgment.) Wu’s note on the Confucian commentary shows line two in immediate contact with four yin lines, interpreted here as recalcitrant forces. On another tack, if we take Ritsema/Karcher's version of "Conjunction Nearing: significant...” literally, we can imagine two possible approaching syntheses (line 1 and line 2), one of which may be more auspicious than the other. Only the context of your query can provide a plausible interpretation of these very different readings.

If Jung's method is used in the analysis, the change initiated by the conflict proceeds under the guidance of the individual's own unconscious. The analyst does not assume that he knows the answer to the problem but sets out with his patient to explore the unconscious and seek the solution. He is necessary to the proceeding because he has a technique for interpreting the obscure unconscious material thrown up in the dreams and fantasies; also, he is needed as a fixed point to which the patient can cling during the transition, when all values are under question and all landmarks may disappear.
M. E. Harding -- Psychic Energy

A. An approaching conjunction of forces (or obvious choices) will nullify an adverse bias in the situation.

B. An alliance for progress furthers the Work.

C. Ego and Self administer the psyche.

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.

Jugement

Legge :Choc suggère facilité et développement. Quand le moment du mouvement qu'il indique arrive, le sujet de l'hexagramme sera trouvé regardant avec appréhension, et pourtant souriant et parlant joyeusement. Quand le mouvement comme un coup de tonnerre terrifie tout dans un rayon de cent miles, il sera comme le fidèle adorateur qui n'est pas surpris au point de laisser tomber sa louche et sa coupe de spiritueux sacrificiels.

Wilhelm/Baynes :Choc apporte le succès. Le choc arrive -- oh, oh ! Mots rieurs -- ha, ha ! Le choc terrifie sur cent miles, et il ne laisse pas tomber la cuillère sacrificielle et le calice.

Blofeld : Tonnerre -- succès ! Le tonnerre arrive avec un bruit terrible, riant et criant avec une joie impressionnante et effrayant les gens sur cent miles à la ronde. Le vin sacrificiel n'est pas renversé. [Cela suggère que le détenteur du récipient sacrificiel n'est pas facilement alarmé ou bien qu'il est très sage et capable de distinguer entre ce qui semble dangereux et ce qui l'est vraiment.]

Liu : Tonnerre. Succès. Le tonnerre arrive -- ho ho ! Parlant et riant -- ha ha ! Il choque et terrifie sur cent miles. Mais on ne laisse pas tomber la cuillère ou le calice.

Ritsema/Karcher : Secousse, Croissance. Secousse arrivant : effrayant, effrayant. Mots rieurs, criant, criant. Secousse effrayant cent miles. Ne pas perdre la louche, la libation. [Cet hexagramme décrit votre situation en termes d'un choc perturbant et inspirant. Il souligne que réveiller les choses à une nouvelle activité, l'action de Secousse est la manière adéquate de la gérer. Pour être en accord avec le temps, on vous dit de : remuer les choses !]

Shaughnessy :Tonnerre : Réception ; le tonnerre arrive si renouvelant ; rires et discussions yaya ; le tonnerre alarme cent miles ; ne pas perdre la louche ou le gobelet.

Cleary (1) : Tonnerre est développemental. Quand le tonnerre arrive, il y a alarme, puis rire. Le tonnerre surprend sur cent miles, mais on ne perd pas la cuillère et le vin.

Cleary (2) :Tonnerre passe. Etc.

Wu :Mouvement indique la pénétration. Quand le Mouvementarrive, il effraie les gens. Plus tard, il fait parler et rire les gens. Sa majesté atteint cent li dans toutes les directions. Il n'y a pas de déplacement de la louche ou du vin sacrificiel.

 

L'Image

Legge : L'image du Tonnerre, étant répétée, forme Choc. L'homme supérieur, en accord avec cela, est craintif et appréhensif, cultive sa vertu, et examine ses fautes.

Wilhelm/Baynes : Tonnerre répété : l'image de Choc. Ainsi, dans la peur et le tremblement, l'homme supérieur met sa vie en ordre et s'examine.

Blofeld : Cet hexagramme symbolise le tonnerre continu. L'Homme Supérieur, dans la peur et le tremblement, cherche à s'améliorer.

Liu : Tonnerre doublé symbolise choc. L'homme supérieur se contemple avec peur et prudence.

Ritsema/Karcher : Tonnerre réitéré. Secousse. Un chun tzu utilise la peur anxieuse pour ajuster l'inspection.

Cleary (1) :Tonnerre voyageant réverbère. Ainsi, les personnes supérieures pratiquent l'introspection avec prudence.

Cleary (2) : Tonnerre répété réverbère.Les personnes développées pratiquent l'introspection avec prudence.

Wu : Un coup de tonnerre après l'autre constitue l'hexagramme Mouvement. Ainsi, le jun zi réfléchit et rectifie par peur de se tromper.

 

COMMENTAIRE

Confucius/Legge : Son sentiment de crainte mène au bonheur car il est ainsi amené à adopter des lois appropriées pour lui-même. Le mouvement surprend les lointains et effraie les proches, pourtant il fait les sacrifices appropriés comme toujours.

Legge : Choc se compose du trigramme pour le Tonnerre doublé. (Ce trigramme représente également le Mouvement et le Fils Aîné.) L'hexagramme symbolise donc un coup ou un roulement de tonnerre, et combiné avec l'idée de mouvement montre un changement soudain se produisant dans le royaume. La leçon est la conduite à adopter en temps de changement soudain par une prise de conscience du danger et une régulation appropriée de soi-même.

Un résultat réussi est prédit si la première ligne dynamique peut être supérieure aux deux lignes magnétiques au-dessus de lui. Il est dans l'idée de l'hexagramme qu'il devrait être en mouvement et avancer. Bien qu'il soit conscient du danger, il est confiant et maître de lui-même -- à tel point qu'il peut accomplir calmement ses devoirs religieux pendant le chaos ambiant. C'est le comportement approprié pour le fils aîné, qui doit finalement assumer les devoirs de son père.

Anthony : Dans le I Chingle choc signifie être soumis à des événements déstabilisants. Cela signifie également percevoir et réagir à ces événements … percevoir, dans l'un de ces changements, qu'un nouvel ensemble de limites, ou de privations, a été placé sur notre vie, ce qui semble nous restreindre ou même nous pénaliser. Ce sentiment d'être projeté par les événements dans une sorte de piège émotionnel est ce que cet hexagramme appelle "Destin". La reconnaissance de ce destin, ou piège, et l'impératif – de trouver le moyen de s'en sortir – est l'un des objectifs du choc. En ce qui concerne le I Ching, il n'y a qu'une seule issue – subir un développement spirituel.

 

NOTES ET PARAPHRASES

Jugement : Pendant les changements soudains, ajustez votre rythme et avancez, en vous rappelant que bien que les conditions puissent changer, l'objectif reste le même.

L'Homme Supérieur vérifie ses prémisses, confronte ses points faibles et adhère aux règles et idéaux du Travail.

L'image ici est celle d'une libération soudaine et dramatique d'énergie, de puissance et de force. Recevoir cet hexagramme sans lignes changeantes peut se référer à presque n'importe quelle situation abrupte, surprenante ou inattendue. Parfois, c'est la façon dont l'oracle dit : "Surprise !” Cela peut aussi être une sorte de réprimande pour avoir posé une question stupide ou inappropriée -- l'oracle est "choqué” par votre témérité, ignorance, etc. Dans de tels cas, il y a souvent un élément d'humour ironique dans la situation -- généralement aux dépens de l'ego. Dans de rares occasions, il est possible de recevoir cet hexagramme comme un avertissement concernant un événement à venir qui n'a aucun rapport avec la question posée. Si vous recevez un tel oracle, soyez extrêmement vigilant – comme toujours, le conseil à l'homme supérieur dans l'Image suggère la bonne voie.

Un véritable test de dévouement au Travail est de maintenir sa volonté en toutes circonstances. Le monde peut s'effondrer autour de nous, mais l'adepte ne ruine pas la performance de son sacrifice : l'ego continue le Travail quelles que soient les conditions, et garde la tête froide en toutes circonstances.

N'aie pas peur de la terreur soudaine

ni de l'assaut des hommes méchants,

car Yahweh sera ton garant,

Il gardera tes pas du piège.

Proverbes 3: 25-26

Yahweh et le Christ sont tous deux ce que Jung appelle des "images de dieu” qui existent sous une forme ou une autre dans chaque psyché humaine, qu'elle soit consciemment religieuse ou non. L'image de dieu est synonyme du Soi, et l'implication de la citation ci-dessus de Proverbesest que tant que l'ego reste dévoué au Travail -- en termes de I Ching : "maintient le sacrifice” -- il est sous la protection du Soi.

L'Homme Parfait est semblable à un dieu. Bien que les grands marais s'embrasent, ils ne peuvent le brûler ; bien que les grands fleuves gèlent, ils ne peuvent le refroidir ; bien que la foudre rapide fende les collines et que les vents hurlants secouent la mer, ils ne peuvent l'effrayer. Un homme comme celui-ci chevauche les nuages et la brume, enfourche le soleil et la lune, et erre au-delà des quatre mers. Même la vie et la mort n'ont aucun effet sur lui, encore moins les règles du profit et de la perte !
Chuang Tzu
