43 Breakthrough (Resoluteness)
Seedings, Cuttings, Spread-the-Word

In a context of perseverence we utilise intensity.

"KUAI : seperate, fork, cut off, decide; pull or flow in different directions; certain, settled; prompt, decisive, stern."ERANOS p473

Image :

"[With perseverence comes intensity : Resoluteness] By passing out benefits, one can reach below, By staying aloof one can keep to one's 'way'."

Class: Integrating

Commentary :

Cooperative format : Hexagram 43 is a long way from the use of tradition. We need to see inside ourselves to get through this. This can generate what some see as resoluteness and others see as arrogance. This total self development needs to be balanced by opening up to others. This is accomplished by 'spreading the word', analogous to taking cuttings from a plant to use elsewhere.

Oppositional format : lake against light.

Template/Persona format : Expansive bonding in a context of expansive blending; XSFP in a context of XSTP.

Five-Phase Relationships : The trigram of Heaven reflects Exchange (as opposition, competitive). The trigram of Lake reflects cooperative Exchange. Competative Exchange through Cooperative Exchange is expressed as being robust, resolute in 'spreading the word' , in sowing seeds.

Hexagram 43 is the specific form of hexagram 04

Goal of 43 - hexagram 28 (or 'how do I 28? - 43')

43 is the goal of 27 (or 'how do I 43? - 27' How do I be robust, intensly spreading the word? Through fostering a 'hunger' for something, a need to be 'filled')

Extended Commentary

The raw context from which the situation derives is described by hexagram 01. The base line position is described through analogy with hexagram 44 lead astray/seducing/persuading. It passes through hexagram 14 Directing before finding fullest expression in hexagram 43.

The Traditional Single Changing Line Comments:
Line 1
A person of lowly position, although capable, must avoid advancing or face injury. [Yielding core not resolute enough]
Line 2
A person of some administrative skill has correctly setup sentries such that warning of danger comes in time. [overcome obstructions]
Line 3
A successful person may need to flee times of misfortune but will come to no harm. [Need for self reflection]
Line 4
A socially aware person did not take heed of the warnings of trouble ahead. [Compromise is advised]
Line 5
A skillful ruler escapes quickly - perhaps too well?
Line 6
When one is in the esoteric world one may no longer be swift of foot - One gets caught.
Transformative methods

By introducing this hexagram as context, you can change a state described by any other hexagram into a state described by hexagram 01. To make a state associated with another hexagram transform into this state, introduce hexagram 01 as context.

Introducing a context of resoluteness, of spreading the word/seed, ensures the emergence of singlemindedness. Reciprocally, a context of singlemindedness ensures the emergence of spreading the word.

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 10 reflects an influence of 43 on that hexagram in that the 'flow' is in hexagram 43 and as such this reflects the need to adapt to that flow and so take-on the properties and methods of 43.
