13 Fellowship with Men
|
"[With guidance comes singlemindedness] Heaven combines with fire: Seekers. One groups the likeminded to distinguish the individuals. [Make the individuals stand out - be seen.]"
Class: Differentiating
In hexagram 13, to avoid conflict (6) we form a loose alliance with like-minded people. 7 and 13 symbolize alliances either loose (13) or structured (07).06 and 36 symbolize the individual alone, no army or like-minded to protect/help. (There is the implication of separating the goats from the sheep.) The initial context of restrained joining leads to a growing number of associates.
Hexagram 13 is the general form of hexagram 02
Goal of 13 - hexagram 33 (or 'how do I 33? - 13')
Five-Phase Relationships : The trigram of Fire reflects Distribution. The trigram of Heaven reflects Exchange (competitive, opposition). Distribution through competitive exchange reflects associating with 'likeminded' for business.
13 is the goal of 44 (or 'how do I 13? - 44' How do I make loose assocations with others? through persuading/seducing
or allowing oneself to be persuaded/seduced)
The raw context from which the situation derives is described by hexagram 49. the base line position is described by analogy with 31 wooing/restrained joining. It passes through hexagram 55 fullness 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 49. To make a state associated with another hexagram transform into this state, introduce hexagram 49 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 14 reflects an influence of 13 on that hexagram in that the 'flow' is in hexagram 13 and as such this reflects the need to adapt to that flow and so take-on the properties and methods of 13.
