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.
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.
Line 5
Legge: The fifth line, magnetic, shows the advance of wisdom, such as
befits the great ruler. There will be good fortune.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Wise approach. This is right for a great prince. Good fortune.
Blofeld: A wise approach suited to a great prince -- good fortune.
Liu: To approach with wisdom is appropriate for a great duke. Good fortune.
Ritsema/Karcher: Knowledge Nearing. A Great Chief's propriety. Significant.
Shaughnessy: Knowing the forest; the great lord's propriety is auspicious.
Cleary (2): Knowing overseeing, appropriate for a great leader, bodes well.
Wu: Condescending with wisdom befits a great king. There will be good fortune.
Hua-Ching Ni: Wise advancement. This is how the great should proceed. G.F.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: What befits the great ruler means pursuing the course of the due mean. Wilhelm/Baynes: This means that he should walk in the middle. Blofeld: This is a way of saying that we must keep to the middle path. Ritsema/Karcher: Moving the center's designating indeed. Cleary (2): What is appropriate for a great leader is balance in action. Wu: He rules from the center.
Legge: Line five is the seat of the ruler. She is magnetic, but because she is central and has the dynamic second line as her proper correlate, she is the symbol of a wise sovereign who employs able counsel to advise her.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The great ruler displays his wisdom in attracting men of ability to direct his affairs and in providing them freedom of action.
Wing: Your position is one of sovereignty. Here you would be wise to allow others to execute you plan for you. If you can choose competent helpers and restrain yourself from interfering in their work, you will achieve the ideal of true authority.
Editor: There is an intimation here of the Self allowing the ego to look after its own welfare, as long as action is in accordance with moderation and restraint. A test situation may be in progress.
From my brother Severus (I learned) to love my kin, and to love truth, and to love justice... And from him I received the idea of a polity in which there is the same law for all, a polity administered with regard to equal rights and equal freedom of speech, and the idea of a kingly government which respects most of all the freedom of the governed. Marcus Aurelius
A. An image of balance.
B. Wisdom walks in the middle.
Line 6
Legge: The sixth line, magnetic, shows the advance of honesty and generosity. There will be good fortune, and no error.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Greathearted approach. Good fortune. No blame.
Blofeld: A magnanimous approach -- good fortune, no error.
Liu: Benevolent approach brings good fortune. No blame.
Ritsema/Karcher: Magnanimity Nearing. Significant. Without fault.
Shaughnessy: Thick forest; auspicious; there is no trouble.
Cleary (2): Attentive overseeing is good and blameless.
Wu: Condescending with honesty is auspicious, etc.
Hua-Ching Ni: Sincere advancing. Good Fortune. No blame.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: This is because her will is focused on the first two lines of the lower trigram. Wilhelm/Baynes: The will is directed inward. Blofeld: This good fortune arises from concealing our will within our hearts. [This would seem to mean that, for the present, we should gladly accord with others and carefully conceal our aims.] Ritsema/Karcher: Purpose located inside indeed. Cleary (2): The good of attentive overseeing is in the will being within. Wu: Because his aspiration is directed inward.
Legge: Line six is at the top of the upper trigram of Docility. Although the first and second lines of the hexagram are not her proper correlates, it is proper for the yin to seek for the yang, and it is emphatically so in this case.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The sage returns from retirement to teach and help others, who greatly benefit from his experience.
Wing: The person in this position will allow others to benefit from the wealth of his experience. Such generosity will bring unaccountable progress to all concerned. This is a true moment of greatness.
Editor: An "advance of honesty" suggests truth: to be "honest" about something is to acknowledge its truth. "Generosity" implies the unselfish acceptance of this truth: perhaps a tolerant concession to a less-than-perfect status quo. Wilhelm renders the Confucian commentary in the imagery of the will being directed inward; Blofeld interprets it as magnanimity coupled with a hidden agenda which is not inconsistent with good will. Ritsema/ Karcher's "Purpose located inside indeed," reinforces this idea. Tolerance or leniency is definitely implied: Wilhelm describes a sage, retired from the world, generously lending his wisdom to the people. Psychologically, the image can suggest that advance in the situation at hand consists of turning inward for support: the developing ego concentrates on connecting with the perfect will of the Self.
Since the mind which persuades and that which is persuaded are one in their basic unity, true persuasion consists in revealing the truth of the oneness of existence. Prince Shotoku
A. A charitable forbearance with an imperfect world makes room for the Work to grow.
B. Ego/Self alignment facilitates profitable interaction with others.
6 Conflit
Autres titres : Conflit, Le Symbole de la Contention, Lutte, Litige, Querelle, Dispute, Procès, "Il est important de faire attention dès le début, alors les choses auront une chance de bien se passer." -- D.F. Hook
Jugement
Legge: Stress indique que malgré des motivations sincères, on rencontre encore de l'opposition et des obstacles. Maintenez une prudence appréhensive. Poursuivre la contention jusqu'au bout produira des résultats néfastes. Il est avantageux de voir le Grand Homme. Il n'est pas avantageux de traverser le grand fleuve.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Conflit. Vous êtes sincère et êtes obstrué. Un arrêt prudent à mi-chemin apporte la bonne fortune. Aller jusqu'au bout apporte le malheur. Il est avantageux de voir le grand homme. Il n'est pas avantageux de traverser la grande eau.
Blofeld: Conflit. Confiance accompagnée d'obstacles ! Avec soin, les affaires peuvent prospérer dans leur cours moyen, mais le résultat final sera un désastre. Il est avantageux de rendre visite à un grand homme, mais pas de traverser le grand fleuve (ou la mer). [En général, cet hexagramme indique que nous avons peu de chances de succès dans tout conflit, dispute ou procès dans lequel nous sommes actuellement engagés et que la retraite est la meilleure politique -- sauf si la ligne un ou cinq est une ligne mobile, auquel cas la position est plus prometteuse. Nous pouvons tirer profit des conseils de quelqu'un de vraiment sage, mais un voyage de quelque nature que ce soit à ce moment serait désastreux.]
Liu: Conflit; vous avez de la sincérité même si vous êtes obstrué, arrêtez-vous à mi-chemin -- bonne fortune; suivre jusqu'au bout -- malheur. Il est bénéfique de voir un grand homme, mais pas de traverser la grande eau.
Ritsema/Karcher: Dispute, possédant la conformité. Bloquant la crainte.
Centrer significatif. Compléter : écueil. Récolter : visualiser les Grandes Personnes. Ne pas Récolter : traverser le Grand Fleuve. [Cet hexagramme décrit votre situation en termes de dispute. Il souligne que l'expression active de vos revendications et objections est la manière adéquate de la gérer. Pour être en accord avec le temps, on vous dit de disputer !] (Sic)
Shaughnessy: Procès : Il y a un retour ; apitoyé et tranquille, il réussit à être de bon augure, mais à la fin est de mauvais augure ; bénéfique ici de voir le grand homme ; pas bénéfique de traverser le grand fleuve.
Cleary (1): Contention; il y a un blocage de la vérité. La prudence et la modération conduisent à de bons résultats, la finalité conduit à de mauvais résultats. Il est bénéfique de voir une grande personne, pas bénéfique de traverser un grand fleuve.
Cleary (2): … La prudence intérieure conduit à de bons résultats, mais finir ainsi est malheureux … etc.
Wu:Litige indique une obstruction de la confiance. Si le sujet est vigilant, il aura de la bonne fortune. S'il est calomnieux jusqu'au bout, il fera face à un présage. Il sera avantageux de voir le grand homme. Il ne sera pas avantageux de traverser le grand fleuve.
L'Image
Legge: L'image de l'eau s'éloignant du ciel forme Stress. L'homme supérieur, en accord avec cela, prend de bons conseils sur le début de toute entreprise.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Le ciel et l'eau vont dans des directions opposées : l'image du Conflit. Ainsi, dans toutes ses transactions, l'homme supérieur considère soigneusement le début.
Blofeld: Cet hexagramme symbolise le ciel et l'eau en opposition. L'Homme Supérieur n'entreprend aucune affaire avant d'avoir soigneusement planifié le début.
Liu: Le ciel et l'eau vont dans des directions différentes, symbolisant le Conflit. L'homme supérieur contemple le début avant d'entreprendre une entreprise.
Ritsema/Karcher: Le ciel s'associant au ruisseau, mouvements contradictoires. Dispute, un chun tzu utilise des affaires stimulantes pour planifier le début.
Cleary (1): Quand le ciel et l'eau vont dans des directions différentes, il y a contention. Les personnes supérieures planifient au début quand elles font des choses.
Cleary (2): … Quand les dirigeants font des choses, ils planifient dès le début.
Wu: Le ciel et l'eau vont dans des directions opposées ; c'est Litige. Ainsi le jun zi planifie bien avant d'agir.
COMMENTAIRE
Confucius/Legge: La rencontre de la Force et du Péril donne l'idée de Stress. Une ligne dynamique dans la place centrale du trigramme inférieur montre comment il y aura de la bonne fortune si l'on maintient une prudence appréhensive ; mais parce que la contention ne doit pas être poussée à l'extrême, il y aura du mal si l'on poursuit sa contention jusqu'au bout. Le grand homme accorde de la valeur à la juste mesure. Si l'on tente de traverser le grand fleuve, il se retrouve dans un abîme.
Legge: Le trigramme supérieur de la Force contrôle ici le trigramme inférieur du Péril qui essaie de l'attaquer. Ou cela peut aussi être vu comme quelqu'un dans une situation périlleuse contestant des forces extérieures fortes. L'image est de contention et de lutte. La ligne yang sincère au milieu du trigramme du Péril donne un caractère à l'ensemble de la figure -- un individu ainsi représenté sera très prudent et aura de la bonne fortune. Mais comme la contention est mauvaise, même un individu sincère doit échouer s'il la poursuit jusqu'au bout. La cinquième ligne représente le grand homme, dont l'agence est sûre d'être bonne. Sa décision dans toute affaire de contention sera correcte. La sixième ligne est également dynamique, mais son action est susceptible d'être trop précipitée pour une grande entreprise, d'où l'avertissement de ne pas tenter de traverser le grand fleuve.
NOTES ET PARAPHRASES
Jugement: Soyez prudent, n'entreprenez pas trop, et ne laissez pas la situation dégénérer.
L'Homme Supérieur est judicieux dans ses choix d'action pour s'assurer que la situation reste stable.
L'hexagramme dépeint un niveau élevé de tension. Wilhelm souligne que la seule ligne "favorable" est le dirigeant à la cinquième place, et que toutes les autres lignes symbolisent des personnes se querellant. Il convient également de noter que les lignes un à quatre conseillent soit de se retirer de la contention, soit de rester passivement en place. Seule la ligne cinq suggère qu'une lutte active peut avoir une issue favorable, et la ligne six dépeint le triste sort de ceux qui insistent pour "exiger leurs droits". Si nous retournons l'hexagramme, nous avons Attente, ce qui suggère quelques vérités subtiles sur la manière appropriée de gérer le stress.
Celui qui aime la dispute aime les coups, l'homme au discours hautain court à sa perte. Proverbes 17: 19
En décidant des procès, je ne suis pas meilleur que quiconque ; mais ce qui est nécessaire, c'est de créer un état de choses dans lequel il n'y aura pas de procès. Confucius
Notez que le résumé du Jugement par Ritsema/Karcher est en désaccord flagrant avec le ton général de la figure : je n'ai jamais reçu cet hexagramme lorsque cette interprétation s'appliquait.
