Commentary :

Cooperative format : Hexagram 58 is a hexagram symbolic of both intenseness and self-reflection. In the image, one joins one's business with businesses of others and thus speeds up the process of selling; increases one's market through joint ventures. (establishing a degree of intenseness). Contextually we combine compromise and mirroring to achieve joyousness & intensity.

The changing line 6 associates this hexagram with hexagram 43 which involves spreading the word.

Oppositional format : lake against lake.

Template/Persona format : Expansive bonding doubled.

Five-Phase Relationships : The trigram of Lake reflects cooperative Exchange. The overall focus is exchange 'doubled' - intensity in expression, self-reflection etc.

Hexagram 58 is the specific form of hexagram 18

Goal of 58 - hexagram 47 (or 'how do I 47? - 58' How do I enclose/be enclosed? Intense reflection)

58 is the goal of 31 (or 'how do I 58? - 31' How do I intensely reflect? Through intense 'wooing', interaction)

Extended Commentary

The raw context from which the situation derives is described by hexagram 10. The raw nature of the base line is described by analogy with hexagram 06 compromising. It passes through hexagram 38 Opposing/Mirroring before finding fullest expression in hexagram 58.

The Traditional Single Changing Line Comments:

Line 1 -: "Concorded stimulation. Favourable." [in the beginning some self limitation is imposed. Adjusted stimulation]
Line 2 -: "Balanced stimulation. Favourable. Remorse disappears." [Avoiding excess/waste beneficial(implies else remorse)]
Line 3 -: "Stimulation from without. Unfortunate." [Need to maintain conduct and not seek stimulation from outside.]
Line 4 -: "Cheap(purchased) stimulation does not calm/soothe, unless one finds enjoyment in defective support(a crutch,addiction)." [One can get fenced in; imprisoned by the stimulant]
Line 5 -: "Conformity reduced to essentials. Dangerous. " [Belief systems (systems of influence) reduced to basics implies fundamentalism.]
Line 6 -: "Prolonged stimulation." [At the spiritual level can lead to a mental breakthrough]

Transformative methods

By introducing this hexagram as context, you can change a state described by any other hexagram into a state described by hexagram 10. To make a state associated with another hexagram transform into this state, introduce hexagram 10 as context.

It is important to remember that, when using transformative methods, the more lines requiring change, the more energy required when attempting to introduce a different context. It may therefore be of benefit to work on existing changing lines and achieve your goal in steps rather than attempt, for example, a six-line change all at once.

Context as Push

To 'go with the flow', any hexagram that is changing into hexagram 58 reflects an influence of 58 on that hexagram in that the 'flow' is in hexagram 58 and as such this reflects the need to adapt to that flow and so take-on the properties and methods of 58.
