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 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.

Jugement
Legge: Tentation montre une femme qui est audacieuse et forte. Il ne sera pas bon d'épouser une telle femme.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Venir à la rencontre. La jeune fille est puissante. On ne devrait pas épouser une telle jeune fille.
Blofeld: Contact. Les femmes détiennent le pouvoir. Ne pas se marier. [À ce moment, le mariage serait malheureux ; le mari serait presque sûrement dominé.]
Liu: Rencontre. La femme est énergique. On ne devrait pas l'épouser.
Ritsema/Karcher:Accouplement, féminité vivifiante. Ne pas saisir la féminité. [Cet hexagramme décrit votre situation en termes de rencontre d'énergies primordiales. Il souligne que voir à travers votre situation personnelle comme la connexion de forces objectives est la manière adéquate de la gérer...]

Cleary (2): Dans la rencontre, la femme est forte. Ne pas épouser la femme.
Wu:Rendez-vous indique que la femme est forte. Il n'est pas conseillé d'épouser cette femme.
L'Image
Legge: L'image du vent avec le ciel au-dessus forme Tentation. Le souverain, conformément à cela, délivre ses charges et promulgue ses annonces dans les quatre coins du royaume.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Sous le ciel, le vent : l'image de Venir à la rencontre. Ainsi agit le prince en diffusant ses ordres et en les proclamant aux quatre coins du ciel.
Blofeld: Cet hexagramme symbolise le vent soufflant à travers la surface de la terre. Lorsque le dirigeant émet des ordres, il les fait proclamer dans chaque coin du monde.
Liu: Le vent sous le ciel symbolise Rencontre. Le dirigeant émet ses directives, les annonçant aux quatre coins (à travers son pays).
Ritsema/Karcher: Sous le ciel possédant le vent. Accouplement. Le prince héritier utilise le destin pour commander les quatre côtés.
[Destin, MING : destin individuel ; naissance et mort comme limites de la vie ; émettre des ordres avec autorité ; consulter les dieux. L'idéogramme : bouche et ordre, mots avec autorité céleste.]
Cleary (1): Il y a du vent sous le ciel, rencontre. Ainsi les dirigeants annoncent-ils leurs directives aux quatre coins.
Wu: Il y a du vent sous le ciel ; c'est Rendez-vous. Ainsi, le souverain annonce le mandat royal à toute la nation.
COMMENTAIRE
Confucius/Legge:Tentationa la signification de venir de manière inattendue. Nous voyons en elle la ligne magnétique venant de manière inattendue sur les dynamiques. Le mariage est inapproprié, car une telle personne ne devrait pas être associée longtemps. Lorsque le ciel et la terre se rencontrent comme ici représenté, toute la variété des choses naturelles se manifeste. Lorsqu'une ligne dynamique se trouve dans la position centrale et correcte, un bon gouvernement nourrira tout sous le ciel. Grande est en effet la signification de ce qui doit être fait au moment indiqué parTentation.
Legge: Une seule ligne magnétique entre au bas de l'hexagramme. C'est la figure utilisée pour représenter le moment de l'année où la lumière et la chaleur commencent à décliner. Dans la ligne divisée, nous voyons le symbole de l'homme inférieur, commençant à s'insinuer dans le gouvernement du pays. Son influence, si elle n'est pas contrôlée, continuerait à croître et à remplir les sièges vacants avec d'autres comme lui. L'objectif du Jugement est de susciter une résistance à cette influence maléfique.
Tentation est définie ici comme une rencontre soudaine et fortuite avec quelque chose d'inférieur -- la ligne divisée est vue comme apparaissant tout à coup dans la figure. La première ligne, magnétique dans un lieu dynamique, devient le symbole d'une femme audacieuse de vertu plus que douteuse qui apparaît de manière inattendue sur la scène avec l'objectif de séduire à elle-même toutes les cinq lignes dynamiques (mâles). Personne ne contracterait un mariage avec une telle femme, et chaque bon serviteur de son pays repoussera l'entrée dans le gouvernement de tout officier qui peut être ainsi symbolisé.
Sur les deux premières phrases du commentaire confucéen, les éditeurs de K'ang-hsi disent : "La ligne magnétique rencontre (ou vient de manière inattendue sur) les dynamiques. La ligne magnétique, c'est-à-dire, joue le rôle principal. Le cas est comme celui du ministre qui assume le pouvoir de décision à la place du dirigeant, ou d'une poule qui chante au lever du soleil -- le nom d'audace éhontée ne lui est-il pas justement appliqué?"
NOTES ET PARAPHRASES
Jugement: Ne vous unissez pas à un élément inférieur dans votre situation. ("Ne nous soumets pas à la tentation.")
L'Homme Supérieur formule son code de conduite et s'y tient.
Wilhelm traduit le quarante-quatrième hexagramme comme Venir à la rencontre, et Blofeld lui donne le sous-titre plutôt surprenant de Rapport sexuel. Il ne fait aucun doute que la figure a une aura d'excitation illicite qui, je pense, est mieux transmise par le titre de R. L. Wing Tentation, bien que Adultère pourrait également convenir. On reçoit parfois cet hexagramme dans des circonstances dramatiques, et il sert à jeter de l'eau froide sur une série de choix potentiellement volatiles et leurs conséquences tout aussi volatiles.
Lorsque nous considérons l'importance de la corrélation appropriée des lignes masculines et féminines dans le I Ching, nous voyons que le Jugement dans cet hexagramme peut psychologiquement dépeindre la tentation d'une union adultère de pensée et de sentiment. L'adultère est une métaphore très utile pour comprendre les principes du Travail -- cela signifie l'union avec quelque chose qui, en termes de I Ching , n'est pas un "corrélat approprié.” Adulterer quelque chose, c'est dégrader une substance pure par l'ajout d'un ingrédient inférieur. L'image d'une tentation d'adultérer le Travail dans cet hexagramme est donc un avertissement dans les termes les plus forts que vous êtes vulnérable à certains choix inférieurs.
Par conséquent, par les mariages, non seulement les terres mais aussi les cieux sont remplis d'habitants ... La terre peut en effet être remplie d'habitants par des fornications et des adultères aussi bien que par des mariages ; mais pas le ciel. La raison en est que l'enfer est issu des adultères, et le ciel des mariages ... Lorsque les procréations de la race humaine sont effectuées par des mariages dans lesquels règne l'amour sacré du bien et de la vérité du Seigneur, alors cela se fait sur terre comme dans les cieux, et le royaume du Seigneur sur terre correspond au royaume du Seigneur dans les cieux. Swedenborg -- Apocalypse Explained
Le concept du hieros gamos, ou mariage sacré, est un archétype omniprésent trouvé dans chaque tradition enracinée dans la Philosophie Éternelle. Si ce "mariage” symbolise une union ou réunion appropriée d'éléments précédemment séparés, alors il s'ensuit que la situation opposée : une union d'entités mal assorties serait symbolisée par l'adultère. Pour recréer une gestalt primordiale de perfection à partir d'un multivers explosé de forces mixtes, il est nécessaire que toutes les paires d'opposés originales deviennent des corrélats appropriés. Bien que deux genres opposés puissent ressentir une attraction mutuelle, il n'y a vraiment qu'un seul opposé qui soit un conjoint approprié. Dans le domaine des relations humaines, cela est évoqué dans le concept de l'Âme Sœur. Ésotériquement parlant, chaque force polarisée dans le multivers a son corrélat approprié ; il s'ensuit que le Travail (dans sa plus grande conception) ne peut être achevé tant que chacun n'est pas réuni avec chacun.
En effet, tout acte de rapport sexuel qui a eu lieu entre ceux qui ne se ressemblent pas est un adultère... Les membres d'une race se sont généralement associés à ceux de même race. Ainsi, l'esprit se mêle à l'esprit, et la pensée se lie à la pensée et la lumière partage avec la lumière. Si vous êtes né un être humain, c'est l'être humain qui vous aimera. Si vous devenez un esprit, c'est l'esprit qui se joindra à vous. Si vous devenez une pensée, c'est la pensée qui se mêlera à vous. Si vous devenez lumière, c'est la lumière qui partagera avec vous. L'Évangile gnostique de Philippe
Le point est suffisamment important pour être répété : interprété psycho-spirituellement, le rapport sexuel et le mariage symbolisent la possibilité d'une unification des forces. Inversement, l'union avec un corrélat inapproprié signifie l'adultération du Travail. C'est la signification ésotérique sous-jacente au système de castes hindou :
Lorsque (l'injustice) submerge la famille, ô Krishna Les femmes de la famille deviennent corrompues ; et lorsque, ô Krishna, les femmes sont corrompues, il en résulte un mélange de castes. Bhagavad-Gita 1: 41
Le "mélange de castes” est, dans le symbolisme duI Ching, l'union de forces corrélatives inappropriées. ("Femmes,” comme nous l'avons vu, symbolisent généralement les aspects émotionnels et sentimentaux de la psyché.) Nous reconnaissons facilement que la citation ci-dessus du Bhagavad-Gita reflète avec précision le symbolisme du quarante-quatrième hexagramme, réitérant la grande vérité que lorsque les émotions font les choix, l'unité de la psyché est compromise.
Notes ajoutées, 7/9/10 : Parfois, cet hexagramme est reçu en réponse à des questions liées plus à une situation fatidique (karmique) qu'à quelque chose normalement considéré comme une "tentation.” Dans ces cas, les notes élargies de Ritsema/Karcher sur les idéogrammes sont des guides utiles : "... saisi par des forces impersonnelles. Les forces primordiales s'accouplent dans le monde intérieur, semant de nouvelles formes durables... Cet hexagramme décrit votre situation en termes de rencontre d'énergies primordiales. Il souligne que voir à travers votre situation personnelle comme la connexion de forces objectives est la manière adéquate de la gérer...”
