HEXAGRAM 42 – I – Increase

Above    SUN    THE GENTLE, WIND

Below    CHEN    THE AROUSING, THUNDER

The idea of increase is expressed in the fact

that

the strong lowest line of the upper trigram

• has sunk down
  

and

• taken its place under the lower trigram.
  

This conception also expresses

the fundamental idea on which the Book of Changes is based.

To rule truly is to serve.

A sacrifice of the higher element

that

produces an increase of the lower

is called an out-and-out increase:

it

indicates the spirit that alone has power to help the world.

 

THE JUDGMENT

INCREASE.

• It furthers one To undertake something.
  
• It furthers one to cross the great water.
  

Sacrifice on the part of those above for the increase of those below

• fills the people with a sense of joy and gratitude
  

that

• is extremely valuable for the flowering of the commonwealth.
  

When people are thus devoted to their leaders,

• undertakings are possible,
  

and

• even difficult and dangerous enterprises will succeed.
  

Therefore in such times of progress and successful development

it is necessary to

• work
  

and

• make the best use of the time.
  

This time resembles that of the marriage of heaven and earth,

when the earth

• partakes of the creative power of heaven,
  
• forming and bringing forth living beings.
  

The time of INCREASE does not endure,

therefore

it

must be utilized while it lasts.

 

THE IMAGE

Wind and thunder: the image Of INCREASE.

Thus the superior man:

If

• he sees good,
  
  • he imitates it;
    

If

• he has faults,
  
  • he rids himself of them.
    

While observing how thunder and wind increase and strengthen each other,

a man can note the way to

• self-increase
  

and

• self-improvement.
  

When he discovers good in others,

he should

• imitate it
  

and thus

• make everything on earth his own.
  

If

• he perceives something bad in himself,
  
  • let him rid himself of it.
    

In this way

• he becomes free of evil.
  

This ethical change represents the most important increase of personality.

 

THE LINES

 

Nine at the beginning means:

It furthers one to accomplish great deeds.

Supreme good fortune.

No blame.

If

great help comes to a man from on high,

this increased strength must be used to achieve something great for which

he might otherwise never have found energy, or readiness to take

by selflessness, responsibility.

• Great good fortune is produced
  

and

in bringing about great good fortune,

• he remains free of reproach.
  

 

Six in the fourth place means:

If you

• walk in the middle
  

And

• report to the prince,
  

He will follow.

It furthers one to be used In the removal of the capital.

It is important that there should be men who mediate between

• leaders
  

and

• followers.
  

These should be disinterested people,

especially in times of increase,

since

the benefit is to spread from the leader to the people.

• Nothing of this benefit
  
  • should be held back in a selfish way;
    
• it
  
  • should really reach those for whom it is intended.
    

This sort of intermediary,

who also exercises a good influence on the leader,

is especially important in times

when

it is a matter of great undertakings,

• decisive for the future
  

and

• requiring the inner assent of all concerned.
  

 

 

MOVING HEXAGRAM

 

 

HEXAGRAM 12 – P’i – Standstill (Stagnation)

Above    CH’IEN    THE CREATIVE, HEAVEN

Below    K’UN        THE RECEPTIVE, EARTH

This hexagram is the opposite of the preceding one.

• Heaven is above, drawing farther and farther away, while
  
• the earth below sinks farther into the depths.
  

The creative powers are not in relation.

It is a time of standstill and decline.

This hexagram is linked with the seventh month (August-September),

when

• the year has passed its zenith and
  
• autumnal decay is setting in.
  

 

THE JUDGMENT

STANDSTILL.

Evil people do not further

The perseverance of the superior man.

• The great departs
  
• the small approaches.
  

• Heaven and earth are out of communion and
  
• all things are benumbed.
  

• What is above has no relation to what is below, and
  
• on earth confusion and disorder prevail.
  

• The dark power within,
  
• the light power is without.
  

• Weakness is within,
  
• harshness without.
  

• Within are the inferior, and
  
• without are the superior.
  

• The way of inferior people is in ascent;
  
• the way of superior people is on the decline.
  

But the superior people do not allow themselves to be turned from their principles.

If the possibility of exerting influence is closed to them,

they nevertheless

• remain faithful to their principles and
  
• withdraw into seclusion.
  

 

THE IMAGE

Heaven and earth do not unite: The image Of STANDSTILL.

Thus

• the superior man falls back upon his inner worth In order to escape the difficulties.
  
• He does not permit himself to be honored with revenue.
  

When, owing to the influence of inferior men, mutual mistrust prevails in public life,

fruitful activity is rendered impossible,

because the fundaments are wrong.

Therefore

• the superior man knows what he must do under such circumstances;
  
• he does not allow himself to be tempted by dazzling offers to take part in public activities.
  

This would only expose him to danger, since he cannot assent to the meanness of the others.

He therefore

• hides his worth and
  
• withdraws into seclusion.
