62 Preponderance of the Small Portraying, Exaggerating, Acting In a context of self-restraint we utilise (sudden) awareness. "HSIAO KUO - HSIAO : little, common, unimportant; adapting to what crosses your path; ability to move in harmonious relation to the vicissitudes of life;... KUO : go beyond, pass by, pass over; excessive, transgress, error, fault." ERANOS p647

Trigrams : self-restraint (bottom), awareness (top) : with/from self-restraint comes awareness. [thunder over mountain]

The mud from which 62 has emerged is best described by analogy to the under-stated qualities of hexagram 30 - guiding, direction-setting (an ideology)

As a marker of context, where context acts to PUSH instincts, 62 'demands' a preferred response of the qualities of hexagram 27, hungering (in need of filling).

• In the binary sequence hexagram 62 pairs with hexagram 56.

This pairing reflects an overall focus on issues of establishing and maintaining loyalty, be it in maintaining loyality in a distant land of many attractions (hexagram 56), or in the need to exaggerate the traditions of a collective to aid in maintaining the collective's structure (hexagram 62). The 'demand' for loyalty is unconditional in 62, conditional in 56.

• In the binary sequence hexagram 62 opposes hexagram 61.

At the LOCAL level we are dealing with an octet of hexagrams with the MOUNTAIN trigram as base. In this sequence hexagram 53, the focus upon slowly maturing, opposes hexagram 62, where the focus is on exaggerations, portraying. More so, the exaggerated sense of overplaying traditions to maintain the coherence of the collective is reflected in a more balanced format through the focus on, as well as recognising the consequences of, maturing.

• In the traditional sequence hexagram 62 pairs with hexagram 61.

EXAGGERATE:

61 : exaggerate through yielding, softening, hard core-soft centre; 61 softening comes from a context described by hexagram 29 - containment/control

62 : exaggerate through traditions; 62 exaggerate traditions comes from a context described by hexagram 30 - guiding, directing (an ideology)

• In the traditional sequence hexagram 62 opposes hexagram 03.

Just as hexagram 03 reflects the 'birth' of something, so hexagram 62 focuses on re-birth through the exaggeration of traditions to aid in maintaining social structure, to give a collective a 'kick' to keep it going.

• The generic properties of hexagram 62 reflect the mixing of the generic properties of hexagram 56 with the generic properties of hexagram 30.

A combination of a focus on loyalty (56) with a focus upon guidence and a setting of a direction, an ideology, (30) is reflected in issues of maitaining the integrity of a collective through exaggeration of traditions.

• In the variations on a theme sequence, hexagram 62 complements hexagram 55.

The below pattern reflects the characteristics of hexagram 62, representing the archetype of exaggerating traditions etc to maintain loyalty to the collective; to keep the collective together even if past its 'best before' date. 62 is paired with 56. 62 is unconditional, general; 56 conditional, particular. Both cover a general focus on issues relating to loyalty.

For example, 62, 001100, as an archetype, expressed through a context of 01, 111111, gives as an expression of 110011, 61. the focus of 62 is reflected combined with the intensity of the context to give a strong sense of empathy, of going to bat for the suffering, to yield, to soften for, to, someone/thing (and so reflect a form of 'loyalty')
