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 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.

Jugement
Legge :La Consistance signifie un progrès réussi sans erreur grâce à une fermeté correcte. Le mouvement dans n'importe quelle direction est avantageux.
Wilhelm/Baynes : Durée. Succès. Pas de blâme. La persévérance est bénéfique. Il est avantageux d'avoir un endroit où aller.
Blofeld : La Longue Endurance. Succès et absence d'erreur ! La persistance juste apporte une récompense. Il est favorable d'avoir en vue un objectif ou une destination.
Liu :Durée. Succès. Pas de blâme. Il est bénéfique de continuer. Aller n'importe où est avantageux.
Ritsema/Karcher :Persévérant, Croissance. Sans faute. Récolter l'épreuve. Récolter : posséder une direction. [Cet hexagramme décrit votre situation en termes de continuité et d'endurance. Il souligne que continuer et renouveler la voie que vous suivez est la manière adéquate de gérer la situation. Pour être en accord avec le temps, on vous dit de persévérer !]
Shaughnessy : Constance : Réception ; il n'y a pas de problème ; bénéfique de déterminer ; bénéfique d'avoir un endroit où aller.
Cleary (1) :Constance est développementale. Impeccable. Il est bénéfique d'être correct. Il est bénéfique d'avoir un endroit où aller.
Cleary (2) :Constance se manifeste sans faute, bénéfique dans la mesure où elle est correcte. Il est bénéfique d'avoir un endroit où aller.
Wu : Constance indique la pénétration. Il n'y aura pas de blâme. Elle indique également l'avantage d'être persévérant et d'avoir des entreprises.
L'Image
Legge : Tonnerre sur le vent -- l'image de la Consistance. L'homme supérieur reste ferme et ne change pas sa méthode d'opération.
Wilhelm/Baynes : Tonnerre et vent : l'image de la Durée. Ainsi l'homme supérieur reste ferme et ne change pas de direction.
Blofeld : Cet hexagramme symbolise le tonnerre accompagné de vent. L'Homme Supérieur reste si fermement qu'il ne peut être déraciné.
Liu : Le tonnerre et le vent symbolisent la Durée. L'homme supérieur reste ferme sans changer de direction.
Ritsema/Karcher : Tonnerre, vent, Persévérant. Un Chun tzu utilise l'établissement, pas la polyvalence de tous côtés.
Cleary (1) : Le tonnerre et le vent sont perpétuels. Ainsi la personne supérieure reste sans changer de place.
Cleary (2) : Le tonnerre et le vent sont constants; ainsi les personnes développées restent sans changer de place.
Wu : Une combinaison de tonnerre et de vent forme la Constance. Ainsi le jun zi s'établit en ne changeant pas de poste.
COMMENTAIRE
Confucius/Legge : La Consistance signifie une longue continuité. Le trigramme dynamique du Tonnerre est au-dessus, et le trigramme magnétique du Vent est en dessous. La docilité et la force motrice sont en communication sympathique car leurs lignes dynamiques et magnétiques correspondent toutes. Lorsque la puissance motrice est épuisée, elle recommencera -- d'où le mouvement dans n'importe quelle direction est avantageux. Le soleil et la lune sont constants dans leur illumination, et les quatre saisons séquentielles sont constantes dans leurs cycles de croissance. Les sages sont constants dans leur travail et tout sous le ciel est transformé. Lorsque nous examinons cette persévérance constante, les tendances naturelles du ciel et de la terre sont révélées.
Legge : Le sujet de l'hexagramme est la persévérance dans ce qui est juste, ou dans l'action continue de la loi de son être. Il est vu comme une suite de l'hexagramme précédent,Initiative. Comme cette figure traite des relations correctes
entre mari et femme, cette figure traite de l'observance continue de leurs devoirs respectifs. Initiative se compose des trigrammes symbolisant le fils cadet et la fille cadette et montre comment l'attraction et l'influence entre les sexes sont les plus fortes chez les jeunes. La Consistance en revanche, se compose des trigrammes symbolisant le fils aîné et la fille aînée. Ce couple est plus posé. La femme occupe la place inférieure, et leur relation est caractérisée par sa soumission. Étant donné deux parties, une magnétique et une dynamique en corrélation, si les deux observent constamment ce qui est correct et naturel (c'est-à-dire la magnétique soumise et la dynamique ferme), alors la bonne fortune et le progrès peuvent être prédits pour leur parcours.
NOTES ET PARAPHRASES
Jugement : La volonté de maintenir la consistance du Travail assure le progrès dans n'importe quelle direction qu'il peut prendre.
L'Homme Supérieur s'en tient aux principes du Travail.
Le titre de Wilhelm pour cet hexagramme est Durée. Je pense que le mot Consistance évoque le mieux le sens de la figure. Dans une existence constituée de changements continus, les seules choses qui ont une durée sont les principes sur lesquels le changement est basé. Adhérer à ces principes, c'est maintenir la consistance. Implicite ici est un équilibre constant des forces. Consistance dans le Travail signifie ni action ni inaction constantes, mais une combinaison appropriée des deux principes selon les circonstances changeantes. Le commentaire confucéen fait allusion à cette caractéristique du Travail lorsqu'il mentionne le soleil, la lune et les saisons changeantes comme exemples de forces qui maintiennent leur consistance dans un contexte de changement continu.
Tout comme la lune la nuit reflète la lumière du soleil caché, ainsi dans le Travail l'ego est toujours magnétique par rapport au Soi dynamique. Une lune qui penserait qu'elle est la source de sa lumière serait gravement trompée, malgré les apparences superficielles ; de même l'ego qui pense que ses pouvoirs viennent d'ailleurs que du Soi.
Les motivations et les normes de choix ne sont pas inventées par l'ego mais sont structurées par l'actualisation des prédispositions archétypales à travers des normes de valeur personnellement acquises. E. C. Whitmont -- The Symbolic Quest
SUGGESTIONS POUR LA MÉDITATION
Notez que toutes les lignes de l'hexagramme sont généralement défavorables sauf deux et cinq, et que lorsqu'elles changent de place, l'hexagramme devient le numéro trente et un, Initiative. Il y a une leçon profonde ici qui est mieux appréciée en méditant sur les associations impliquées. Le fait que chaque hexagramme soit l'inverse de l'autre ne doit pas être oublié.
