21 Biting Through
|
"[With enlightement comes direction(ideology)]. Thunder, lightning. Biting through (Revealing the essential). In primal times one heightened awareness by enforcing the laws through flogging."
Class: Differentiating
In hexagram 21, problems are solved through the establishment of laws as part of the process of moving from chaos, or an old established order (50), to order.
(All four hexagrams (50,21,3,48) deal with foundations as part of the concept of transition and influence symbolised in their base trigrams.)
Hexagram 21 is the general form of hexagram 39
Goal of 21 - hexagram 35 (or 'how do I 35? - 21')
Five-Phase Relationships : The trigram of Thunder reflects Production (raw/new). The trigram of Fire reflects Distribution. Production through Distribution is expressed as setting a 'rule', a process line.
21 is the goal of 64 (or 'how do I 21? - 64' How do I solve problems? By remaining open, avoiding closure to soon)
The raw context from which the situation derives is described by analogy to hexagram 51. The raw nature of the base line position is described through analogy with hexagram 16 Forseeing. It passes through hexagram 17 Believing before reaching here.

By introducing this hexagram as context, you can change a state described by any other hexagram into a state described by hexagram 51. To make a state associated with another hexagram transform into this state, introduce hexagram 51 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.
To 'go with the flow', any hexagram that is changing into hexagram 55 reflects an influence of 21 on that hexagram in that the 'flow' is in hexagram 21 and as such this reflects the need to adapt to that flow and so take-on the properties and methods of 21.
