12 Standstill (Stagnation)
|
"[With devotion comes singlemindedness] : [Stand-off]. One uses as little as possible to temperate hardship, [thus avoids wastefulness], not permitting the use of glory for benefit."
Class: Differentiating
In hexagram 12 we find that there are those who do not seek to change but more to keep the status quo; To those who seek change, this is stagnation; a hindrance. The context is a firming sense of belief and parrying (by forseeing) the thrusts of those against you.
Goal of 12 - hexagram 09 (or 'how do I 09? - 12')
Five-Phase Relationships : The trigram of Earth reflects Filtration (by faith, given rules). The trigram of Heaven reflects Exchange (through competition). Faith expressed through competitive exchange reflects the neutralising of attacks on one's beliefs (and so validating the belief).
12 is the goal of 25 (or 'how do I 12? - 25' How do I neutralise? By standing up to things, by fearlessly saying
what you feel needs to be said regardless of considering consequences, and so get around any 'blocks')
The raw context from which the situation derives is described by hexagram 45. The base line position is described by analogy with hexagram 17 believing/following. It passes through hexagram 16 Forseeing/Enthusing 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 45. To make a state associated with another hexagram transform into this state, introduce hexagram 45 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 11 reflects an influence of 12 on that hexagram in that the 'flow' is in hexagram 12 and as such this reflects the need to adapt to that flow and so take-on the properties and methods of 12.
