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 1

Legge: The first line, dynamic, shows its subject advancing in company with the subject of the second line. Through his firm correctness there will be good fortune.

Wilhelm/Baynes: Joint approach. Perseverance brings good fortune.

Blofeld: All approach -- righteous persistence will bring good fortune! [All approach can be taken to mean that all things desirable are converging upon us.]

Liu: Approach with sincerity. To continue brings good fortune.

Ritsema/Karcher: Conjunction Nearing, Trial: significant.

Shaughnessy: Prohibited forest; determination is auspicious.

Cleary (1): Sensitive overseeing leads to good results when correct.

Wu: Pressing forward with a companion will be auspicious.

Hua-Ching Ni: Advance impartially. One should start in this manner and continue in this direction. Good Fortune.

 

COMMENTARY

Confucius/Legge: His will is set on doing what is right. Wilhelm/Baynes: His will is to act correctly. Blofeld: This is because what is willed is carried out in righteous ways. Ritsema/Karcher: Purpose moving, correcting indeed. Cleary (2): Because the intention and the action are correct. Wu: Because his aspiration is correct.

Legge: Line one is dynamic in his proper place. The danger is that he may be more strong than prudent -- hence the caution requiring firm correctness.

 

NOTES AND PARAPHRASES

Siu: At the outset, the man advances with his associates to a higher position. He must remain more prudent than strong in doing right and not be carried away by the popular will.

Wing: Begin your endeavors in the company of those who share your enthusiasm. This will give you the kind of strong support necessary to achieve your aims. At the same time you should be certain that you are pursuing worthwhile goals. Continuing in your principles brings good fortune.

Editor: The texts of the first two lines are almost identical. As the only two yang forces in the hexagram they support and reinforce each other in their advance on the yin lines. The image suggests an ego-Self accord in the work of pacifying disparate forces within the psyche. If this is the only changing line, the new hexagram becomes number seven, Discipline, which reinforces the idea of a disciplined dynamic advance. In the context of certain questions, the Confucian commentary here sometimes seems more accessible than the original line.

If you want to go your original way, it is the way you make for yourself, which is never prescribed, which you do not know in advance, and which simply comes into being of itself when you put one foot in front of the other. If you always do the next thing that needs to be done, you will go most safely and sure-footedly along the path prescribed by your unconscious.
Jung -- Letters

A. Mutual advancement. Ego and Self are in accord. Advance the Work.

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.

Délivrance


Autres titres : Délivrance, Le Symbole du Relâchement, Libération, Élimination des Obstacles, Démontage, Démêlé, Solution, Dissolution, Soulagement, Délier, Libération de la Tension

 

Jugement

Legge :Libération trouve un avantage au sud-ouest. Lorsque l'opération est terminée, un retour à la stabilité apporte de la bonne fortune. Si les opérations ne sont pas terminées, il est préférable de les achever rapidement.

Wilhelm/Baynes :Délivrance. Le sud-ouest favorise. S'il n'y a plus rien (Sic) où l'on doit aller, le retour apporte de la bonne fortune. S'il y a encore quelque chose (Sic) où l'on doit aller, se hâter apporte de la bonne fortune.

Blofeld : Libération. L'ouest et le sud sont favorables. Ceux qui n'ont rien à gagner en avançant trouveront de la bonne fortune en revenant en arrière ; ceux qui ont beaucoup à gagner en avançant doivent se hâter pour être sûrs de bien faire. [Ce n'est pas le moment de rester où nous sommes. Si nous n'avons pas de bonne raison d'avancer, il vaut mieux reculer.]

Liu : Libération. Le sud-ouest est bénéfique. S'il n'y a rien pour quelqu'un là où il doit aller, alors revenir apporte de la bonne fortune. S'il y a quelque chose dans un endroit où l'on peut aller, alors y aller rapidement mène à la bonne fortune.

Ritsema/Karcher : Démontage. Récolte : Ouest Sud. Sans endroit où aller : son retour est significatif. Possédant une direction : Aube significative. [Cet hexagramme décrit votre situation en termes de réflexion et de libération de la tension. Il souligne que l'analyse et la compréhension des choses pour être délivré de la contrainte est la manière adéquate de la gérer...]

Shaughnessy : Démêlé : Bénéfique au sud-ouest ; il n'y a nulle part où aller ; son retour est de bon augure ; il y a un endroit où aller passer la nuit ; de bon augure.

Cleary (1) : Pour libération, le sud-ouest est bénéfique. Quand on ne va nulle part, le retour apporte de la bonne fortune ; quand on va quelque part, la promptitude apporte de la bonne fortune.

Cleary (2) : Pour solution, le sud-ouest est bénéfique. Ne pas aller nulle part, revenir est chanceux, etc.

Wu : Soulagement indique un avantage au sud-ouest. S'il entreprend de faire quelque chose sans cause, il sera de bon augure pour lui de revenir à son ancien poste. S'il entreprend de faire quelque chose avec une cause, il sera de bon augure pour lui de le faire tôt.

 

L'Image

Legge : Libération montre un orage qui clarifie l'atmosphère. L'homme supérieur, en accord avec cela, pardonne les erreurs et traite les crimes avec douceur.

Wilhelm/Baynes : Le tonnerre et la pluie s'installent : l'image de la Délivrance. Ainsi l'homme supérieur pardonne les erreurs et pardonne les méfaits.

Blofeld : Cet hexagramme symbolise le tonnerre et la pluie apportant la libération. L'Homme Supérieur tend à pardonner les torts et traite les crimes avec indulgence. [Les trigrammes composants suggèrent qu'une certaine quantité d'action énergique est requise.]

Liu : Le tonnerre et la pluie viennent, symbolisant la Libération. L'homme supérieur pardonne les erreurs et pardonne les criminels.

Ritsema/Karcher : Tonnerre, pluie, excitation. Démontage. Un chun tzu utilise le pardon des excès pour pardonner les offenses.

Cleary (1) : Le tonnerre et la pluie agissent, dissolvant. Ainsi les personnes supérieures pardonnent les fautes et pardonnent les crimes.

Cleary (2) : Tonnerre et pluie – solution. Etc.

Wu : Il y a du tonnerre et de la pluie ; c'est le Soulagement. Ainsi le jun zi pardonne les transgresseurs involontaires et atténue (Sic) les délinquants criminels.

 

COMMENTAIRE

Confucius/Legge : Libération montre le trigramme du Mouvement au-dessus du trigramme du Danger -- par le mouvement, il y a une échappatoire au péril. Un mouvement précoce vers le sud-ouest gagne l'allégeance des masses et ramène l'état à la normalité et à l'équilibre. Lorsque le ciel et la terre sont libérés de l'emprise de l'hiver, nous avons du tonnerre et de la pluie. Quand ceux-ci viennent, les bourgeons de la végétation fruitière commencent à s'ouvrir. Grands en effet sont les phénomènes au temps de laLibération.

Legge : Le caractère chinois écrit pour Libération est le symbole du dénouement -- défaire un nœud ou démêler une complication. Cet hexagramme dénote une condition dans laquelle l'obstruction et la difficulté de la figure précédente ont été supprimées. La leçon est de savoir comment cet état nouveau et meilleur du royaume doit être traité. S'il ne reste aucune tâche à accomplir, plus tôt les choses reprendront leur cours normal, mieux ce sera. Si d'autres opérations sont nécessaires, qu'elles soient accomplies sans délai. Les éditeurs de K'ang-hsi disent que se déplacer vers le sud et l'ouest est la même chose que revenir à la normalité.

Le tonnerre et la pluie clarifient l'atmosphère, et un sentiment d'oppression est soulagé. Les images du printemps dans le commentaire confucéen se réfèrent à la politique douce d'un souverain conquérant qui pardonne l'opposition de ceux qui cessent de résister.

 

NOTES ET PARAPHRASES

Jugement : Faites ce qui doit être fait de toute évidence et revenez à la stabilité dès que possible.

L'Homme Supérieur pardonne, oublie et ne garde pas de rancune. (c'est-à-dire, la stabilité est plus importante que de blâmer ou de discuter de qui a raison.)

Si le trente-neuvième hexagramme de Impasse est retourné, il devient le quarantième hexagramme de Libération ou Délivrance. Les deux figures représentent des situations opposées : si Impasse crée de la tension, alors Libération la libère. Le trigramme supérieur du Mouvement monte pour échapper au trigramme inférieur du Danger, nous donnant une image sans ambiguïté de liberté et de soulagement.

En dehors de toute personnification, l'ensemble de l'espace dans lequel la vie se trouve a un caractère spirituel malveillant, et les "démons" eux-mêmes sont autant des royaumes spatiaux que des personnes. Les surmonter est la même chose que de les traverser, et en franchissant leurs frontières, ce passage brise en même temps leur pouvoir et réalise la libération de la magie de leur sphère.
H. Jonas --La Religion Gnostique

Le commentaire de Legge dans l'hexagramme précédent explique que le "sud-ouest" est la direction de la "terre," la plaine fertile où la vie est naturelle et non contrainte. Confucius nous dit ici qu'un mouvement précoce dans cette direction gagnera l'"allégeance des masses." Interprété psychologiquement, cela se réfère au royaume intérieur de la psyché, où "les masses" sont les pulsions, les émotions et les complexes archétypaux qui composent notre être. Le symbolisme suggère une libération consciente de la tension intérieure.

Ces forces, par conséquent, ne doivent pas être laissées à l'état sauvage, mais devraient être disposées de manière inoffensive ou, mieux encore, utilisées à des fins constructives : activités créatives de divers types ; la reconstruction de notre personnalité, contribuant à notre Psychosynthèse.
Roberto Assagioli -- Psychosynthèse
