HEXAGRAM 45 – Ts’ui – Gathering Together (Massing)
Above Tui THE JOYOUS, LAKE
Below K’UN THE RECEPTIVE, EARTH
This hexagram is related in
· form and
· meaning
to Pi, HOLDING TOGETHER (8).
· In the latter,
o water is over the earth;
· here
o a lake is over the earth.
But since the lake is a place where water collects,
· the idea of gathering together is even more strongly expressed here
· than in the other hexagram.
The same idea also arises from the fact that
· in the present case
o it is two strong lines (the fourth and the fifth) that bring about the gathering together
whereas
· in the former case
o one strong line (the fifth) stands in the midst of weak lines.
THE JUDGMENT
GATHERING TOGETHER.
Success.
The king approaches his temple.
It furthers one to see the great man.
This brings success.
Perseverance furthers.
· To bring great offerings creates good fortune.
· It furthers one to undertake something,
The gathering together of people in large communities is either
· a natural occurrence, as in the case of the family, or
· an artificial one, as in the case of the state.
The family gathers about the father as its head.
The perpetuation of this gathering in groups is achieved through
the sacrifice to the ancestors,
at which the whole clan is gathered together.
Through the collective piety of the living members of the family,
the ancestors become so integrated in the spiritual life of the family that
it cannot be
· dispersed or
· dissolved.
Where men are to be gathered together,
religious forces are needed.
But there must also be a human leader
to serve as the center of the group.
In order to be able to bring others together,
this leader must first of all be collected within himself.
Only collective moral force can unite the world.
Such great times of unification will leave great achievements behind them.
This is the significance of the great offerings that are made.
In the secular sphere likewise there is need of great deeds in the time of GATHERING TOGETHER.
THE IMAGE
Over the earth, the lake: The image Of GATHERING TOGETHER.
Thus the superior man renews his weapons In order to meet the unforeseen.
If the water in the lake gathers until it rises above the earth,
there is danger of a break-through.
Precautions must be taken to prevent this.
Similarly
· where men gather together in great numbers,
o strife is likely to arise;
· where possessions are collected,
o robbery is likely to occur.
Thus in the time of GATHERING TOGETHER
we must arm promptly to ward off the unexpected.
Human woes usually come as a result of unexpected events
against which we are not forearmed.
If
· we are prepared,
· they can be prevented.
THE LINES
Six in the third place means:
Gathering together amid sighs.
Nothing that would further.
Going is without blame.
Slight humiliation.
Often
· a man feels an urge to unite with others,
but
· the individuals around him have already formed themselves into a group,
so that
· he remains isolated.
The whole situation proves untenable.
Then
he
· ought to choose the way of progress,
· resolutely allying himself with a man who
o stands nearer to the center of the group, and
o can help him to gain admission to the closed circle.
This is not a mistake, even though at first
his position as an outsider is somewhat humiliating.
Nine in the fourth place means:
Great good fortune.
No blame.
This describes
a man who gathers people around him in the name of his ruler.
Since
· he is
o not striving for any special advantages for himself
o but is working unselfishly to bring about general unity,
· his work is crowned with success, and
· everything becomes as it should be.
MOVING HEXAGRAM
HEXAGRAM 39 – Chien – Obstruction
Above K’AN THE ABYSMAL, WATER
Below KEN KEEPING STILL, MOUNTAIN
The hexagram pictures
· a dangerous abyss lying before us and
· a steep, inaccessible mountain rising behind us.
· We are surrounded by obstacles;
at the same time, since the mountain has the attribute of keeping still, there is implicit
· a hint as to how we can extricate ourselves.
The hexagram represents
· obstructions that appear in the course of time
· but that
o can and
o should be
overcome.
Therefore
all the instruction given is directed to overcoming them.
THE JUDGMENT
OBSTRUCCION.
· The southwest furthers.
· The northeast does not further.
It furthers one to see the great man.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
· The southwest is the region of retreat,
· the northeast that of advance.
Here an individual is confronted
by obstacles that cannot be overcome directly.
In such a situation it is wise
· to pause in view of the danger and
· to retreat.
However,
this is merely a preparation for overcoming the obstructions.
One must
· join forces with friends of like mind and
· put himself under the leadership of a man equal to the situation:
then
one
· will succeed in removing the obstacles.
This requires the will to persevere
just when
one apparently must do something that leads away from his goal.
This unswerving inner purpose brings good fortune in the end.
An obstruction that lasts only for a time
is useful for self-development.
This is the value of adversity.
THE IMAGE
Water on the mountain:
The image of OBSTRUCTION.
Thus the superior man
· turns his attention to himself And
· molds his character.
· Difficulties and
· obstructions
throw a man back upon himself.
While
· the inferior man
o seeks to put the blame on other persons,
o bewailing his fate,
· the superior man
o seeks the error within himself, and through this introspection the external obstacle
o becomes for him an occasion for
§ inner enrichment and
§ education.
