"[Wtth enlightenment comes influence : Ascending] One ascends by seeing improvement and controlling excess."

Class: Differentiating

Commentary :

In hexagram 42 we find a moment given to understanding the cycles. We are far from the points of transition. We are in a position to see the cycles and thus to observe them and learn to use them to succeed (augment oneself) and avoid those that can do damage. This is a step up, a change from one level of refinement to the next; an increase in one's commitment to a path. Contextually, we combine uniting (drawing in) with coming back to the 'true' path and thus augmentation and ascendence.

Goal of 42 - hexagram 20 (or 'how do I 20? - 42')

Five-Phase Relationships : The trigram of Thunder reflects Production (new material). The trigram of Wind reflects Production (through re-production, cultivation). The relationship expresses the augmentation of something 'new' or 'raw', to raise it qualitatively.

42 is the goal of 59 (or 'how do I 42? - 59' How do I 'augment'? Through making things VERY clear, dispell all illusions)

Extended Commentary

The raw context from which the situation derives is described by hexagram 03. The base line position is described by 08 uniting/alliencing. It passes through hexagram 24 Returning before reaching here.

The Traditional Simple Changing Line Comments:

Line 1: "Activating one's will through stimulation, beneficial. Great advantage. No harm in this" [Move upwards]
Line 2: "[Concentrated luck.] Nowhere is one impeded. Although perpetually testing times, advantageous. The king makes a thankful offering to the supreme. Favourable." [Overflowing luck.]
Line 3: "One benefit's from unfortunate business. No harm in this if one remains balanced and follows the centre path. Make use of one's position to inform the prince." [transform bad to one's benefit]
Line 4: "Travelling the centre path. Informing the prince, he [too] follows. Success. [Full] benefit relies on improving the city." [Inspire others (the prince)]
Line 5: "A sincere and kind heart. No doubts. Highly favourable. Sincerity and kindness [are] my real 'way'." [Overdoing it. Exaggerate position]
Line 6: "Absolutely no benefit. Maybe even physical abuse. [Even] ordering one's morality [lacks] perseverance thus exposing one to danger." [Trying for relief. Attempts to improve the situation do not work and even expose one to attack. Attempts to reorder one's self are shown to lack perseverance. No matter how hard one tries relief does not come.]

Transformative methods

By introducing this hexagram as context, you can change a state described by any other hexagram into a state described by hexagram 03. To make a state associated with another hexagram transform into this state, introduce hexagram 03 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 32 reflects an influence of 42 on that hexagram in that the 'flow' is in hexagram 42 and as such this reflects the need to adapt to that flow and so take-on the properties and methods of 42.
