30 The Clinging, Fire
|
"[With guidance comes (a sense of) direction] Brightness doubled generates radiance. One uses continuous brightness (guidance) to illuminate (become aware of) the direction of the four point of the compass."
Class: Differentiating
The idea of 30 is given in the cycle, (64->30->63->29), where a failure to complete(64) implies the need for a guide (30). Once found, completion is successful (63). But once successful the guiding principles become taught by rote (29) and thus we get back to failure (64). (failure is more 'mis-sequencing' than 'failing'). Contextually, we emerge in a state of over emphasizing (62 - acting/portraying) and this develops into the ability to stripping things away, revealing the underneath (49) - and thus the shining light of the intellect as a guide and developer of direction. As the comment on line 6 shows, we can happily chop-off the head in this process of analysis and revealing 'truth'.
(All four hexagrams (29,30,63,64) deal with the concept of protection and getting things in correct order, either with the defensive contractive bias of 29 or the expansive use of guidance in 30. This correlates with the concept of bounding(making distinctions) manifest in the base trigrams; as you follow a path a map is useful.).
Hexagram 30 is the general form of hexagram 08
Goal of 30 - hexagram 56 (or 'how do I 56? - 30')
Five-Phase Relationships : The trigram of Fire reflects Distribution. The overall focus is on guidance and a sense of direction.
30 is the goal of 50 (or 'how do I 30? - 50' How do I gain a sense of direction? Through transformation)
The raw context from which the situation derives is described by hexagram 55. The base line position is described by hexagram 62 portraying/small exceeding. It passes through hexagram 49 Un-Masking before reaching here.

The raw context from which the situation derives is described by hexgram 62 portraying/small exceeding. It passes through hexagram 49 Un-Masking 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 55. To make a state associated with another hexagram transform into this state, introduce hexagram 55 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 30 reflects an influence of 30 on that hexagram in that the 'flow' is in hexagram 30 and as such this reflects the need to adapt to that flow and so take-on the properties and methods of 30.
