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.

 

 

 

THE LINES

 

 

Nine in the third place means: 

Going leads to obstructions 

Hence he comes back.

 

While

·         the preceding line shows the official compelled by duty follow the way of danger,

·         this line shows the man who must to act

o   as father of a family or

o   as head of his kin. 

 

If

·         he were to plunge recklessly into danger,

o   it would be a useless act, because those entrusted to his care cannot get along by themselves. 

 

But if

·         he withdraws and turns back to his own,

o   they welcome him with great joy.

 

 

Six at the top means:

·         Going leads to obstructions,

·         Coming leads to great good fortune. 

It furthers one to see the great man.

 

This refers to a man who has already left

·         the world and

·         its tumult

behind him. 

 

When the time of obstructions arrives,

it might seem that the simplest thing for him to do would be to

·         turn his back upon the world and

·         take refuge in the beyond. 

 

But this road is barred to him. 

 

He

·         must not seek his own salvation and

·         abandon the world to its adversity.

 

Duty calls him back once more into the turmoil of life. 

 

Precisely because of his experience and inner freedom,

he is able to create something both

·         great and

·         complete

that brings good fortune. 

 

And

 

it is favorable to see the great man in alliance with whom

one can achieve the work of rescue.

 

 

 

MOVING HEXAGRAM

 

 

HEXAGRAM 20 – Kuan – Contemplation (View)

 

Above                SUN  THE GENTLE, WIND

Below                K’UN  THE RECEPTIVE, EARTH

 

A slight variation of tonal stress gives the Chinese name for this hexagram

a double meaning.

 

It means both

·         contemplating and

·         being seen, in the sense of being an example. 

 

These ideas are suggested by the fact that

the hexagram can be understood as picturing

a type of tower characteristic of ancient China.

 

·         A tower of this kind commanded a wide view of the country;

at the same time, when situated on a mountain,

·         it became a landmark that could be seen for miles around. 

 

Thus the hexagram shows a ruler

·         who contemplates

o   the law of heaven above him and

o   the ways of the people below, and

·         who, by means of good government, sets a lofty example to the masses.

 

This hexagram is linked with the eighth month (September – October). 

 

·         The light-giving power retreats and

·         the dark power is again on the increase. 

 

However,

this aspect is not material in the interpretation of the hexagram as a whole.

 

 

THE JUDGMENT

 

CONTEMPLATION. 

The ablution has been made,

But not yet the offering.

Full of trust they look up to him.

 

The sacrificial ritual in China began with

·         an ablution and

·         a libation

o   by which the Deity was invoked,

o   after which the sacrifice was offered. 

 

·         The moment of time between these two ceremonies is the most sacred of all,

·         the moment of deepest inner concentration. 

 

If piety is

·         sincere and

·         expressive of real faith,

the contemplation of it has a

·         transforming and

·         awe-inspiring effect

on those who witness it.

 

Thus also in nature

a holy seriousness is to be seen in the fact that

natural occurrences are uniformly subject to law. 

 

Contemplation of the divine meaning underlying the workings of the universe

gives to the man who is called upon to influence others

the means of producing like effects. 

 

This requires that

power of inner concentration which religious contemplation develops

in great men strong in faith. 

 

It enables them to

·         apprehend the mysterious and divine laws of life,

and by means of profoundest inner concentration they

·         give expression to these laws in their own persons. 

 

Thus

a hidden spiritual power emanates from them,

·         influencing and

·         dominating

others without their being aware of how it happens.

 

 

THE IMAGE

 

The wind blows over the earth: The image of CONTEMPLATION.

Thus the kings of old

·         visited the regions of the world,

·         Contemplated the people, And

·         gave them instruction.

 

When the wind blows over the earth it

·         goes far and wide and

·         the grass must bend to its power. 

 

These two occurrences find confirmation in the hexagram. 

 

The two images are used to symbolize a practice of the kings of old;

in making regular journeys the ruler could,

·         in the first place,

o   survey his realm and

o   make certain that none of the existing usages of the people escaped notice;

·         in the second, he could exert influence through which such customs as were unsuitable could be changed.

 

All of this points to the power possessed by a superior personality. 

 

On the one hand, such a man

·         will have a view of the real sentiments of the great mass of humanity and therefore

·         cannot be deceived;

on the other, he

·         will impress the people so profoundly,

o   by his mere existence and

o   by the impact of his personality,

·         that they will be swayed by him as the grass by the wind.
