56/13 The Wanderer

56 The Wanderer
Restrained Journeying, Loyalty
In a context of self-restraint we utilise setting a direction (an ideology).

"LU : travel, stay in a place other than your home; itinerant troops, temporary residents; visitor, guest, lodger. The ideogram: banner and people around it, loyal to a symbol rather than their temporary residence." ERANOS p596

"[With self-restraint comes direction(ideology)] : The Wanderer. One uses an enlighten and true heart in punishing and refrains from extended court cases."

Class: Differentiating

Commentary :

In hexagram 56 self-imposed limitations enable one to survive in any environment. It is excess that fosters obstruction and oppression. These limits should act as guides in the form of a sense of direction, not absolutes. Guided restraint/ restrained movement; when wandering in a strange land, one's loyalties are still with 'home' and thus one should be restrained (selective) in one's actions.

Goal of 56 - hexagram 38 (or 'how do I 38? - 56')

Five-Phase Relationships : The trigram of Mountain reflects Filtration. The trigram of Fire reflects Distribution. Filtration-by-discernment through distribution is expressed as maintaining a sense of loyalty where-ever one is.

56 is the goal of 30 (or 'how do I 56? - 30' How do I be loyal? Obtain guidance, an ideology, a sense of direction)

Extended Commentary

The raw context from which the situation derives is described by hexagram 62. The base line position is described by hexagram 55 abundance/exuberance. It passes through hexagram 31 Restrained Joining/Wooing before reaching here.

The Traditional Single Changing Line Comments:

Line 1 -: "A fragmented journey. A disaster splits one's home."
Line 2 -: "Travelling, approaching a resting place, one longs for one's own[kind]. One acquires a young servant, testing times. [A feeling for one's clan/family/language. One compensates by aquiring a servant.]
Line 3 -: "Travelling, burning one's resting place[or Burning breath when one stops]. Losing one's servant. Dangerous and testing times." [No matter what one does, things are not going right]
Line 4 -: "Travelling, thinking of dwelling. Aquiring one's own symbol of authority [although] my heart is not keen." [A thought to stop travelling and lay claim to one's piece of turf. Not one's desire]
Line 5 -: "Shooting a pheasant. One shot (arrow) kills it. In the end one receives heavenly praise." [Removing that which retains (symbolizes) authority (tradition).]
Line 6 -: "A bird destroys it's nest. Travelling people at first laugh but later cry. Things start to change, one loses the cattle." [Making mistakes one is left empty and forced to start again.]

Transformative methods

By introducing this hexagram as context, you can change a state described by any other hexagram into a state described by hexagram 62. To make a state associated with another hexagram transform into this state, introduce hexagram 62 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.

Context as Push

To 'go with the flow', any hexagram that is changing into hexagram 22 reflects an influence of 56 on that hexagram in that the 'flow' is in hexagram 56 and as such this reflects the need to adapt to that flow and so take-on the properties and methods of 56.
