09 Taming Power of the Small
|
"[With perseverence comes influence]: Small Gains. One highlights the noble to enhance one's way."
Class: Differentiating
In hexagram 09 we recognize that to become influencial requires work. The process of gentle change through emphasizing one's accomplishments acts as a way of refining one's power, so we make small gains that accumulate and eventually one's time will come.
Goal of 09 - hexagram 57 (or 'how do I 57? - 09')
Five-Phase Relationships : The trigram of Heaven reflects Exchange (through competition, opposition). The trigram of Wind reflects Production (through re-production, cultivation). Competative Exchange through Production is reflected in making small gains upon which to stand and become influencial.
09 is the goal of 12 (or 'how do I 09? - 12' How can I make small gains? By sticking to your guns, neutralising
all attacks on your faith/belief etc - perseverence furthers)
The raw context from which the situation derives is described by hexagram 05. The base line position desription is described by analogy with hexagram 48 Founding (setting foundations). It passes through hexagram 11 Balancing 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 05. To make a state associated with another hexagram transform into this state, introduce hexagram 05 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 44 reflects an influence of 09 on that hexagram in that the 'flow' is in hexagram 09 and as such this reflects the need to adapt to that flow and so take-on the properties and methods of 09.
