06/23 Conflict

06 Conflict
Compromising
In a context of containment we utilise singlemindedness

"SUNG : dispute, plead in court, contend before a ruler, demand justice; wrangles, quarrels, litigation. The ideogram: words and public, public disputation."ERANOS p142

Image :

"[With containment comes singlemindedness]. Heaven associates with flowing water, opposing movements. COMPROMISE. One prepares well before one starts."

Class: Differentiating

Commentary :

In hexagram 06, since the people we are dealing with are definitely NOT like minded, we need to maintain balance by avoiding going beyond the half way point - meet them in the middle. Thus an emphasis on reflection and not being too rigid (relaxed structuring) and so an emphasis on compromise.

Goal of 06 - hexagram 25 (or 'how do I 25? - 06')

Five-Phase Relationships : The trigram of Water reflects Consumption. The trigram of Heaven reflects Exchange (through competition, opposition). This relationship reflects competitive exchange in a context of consumption in the form of legal actions and so a focus on compromise.

06 is the goal of 10 (or 'how do I 06? - 10' How do I compromise? By carefully treading the 'correct' path)

Extended Commentary

The raw context from which the situation derives is described by hexagram 47. The base line position is described by analogy with hexagram 58 - Self-reflection/intensity. This passes through hexagram 40 relaxed structuring before reaching here.

The Traditional Single Changing Line Comments:

Line 1: "It is possible to avoid conflict, especially at the beginning, by passing it by; forget it."
Line 2: "When faced with overwhelming odds, withdrawal is advisable otherwise one's whole community my suffer the consequences."
Line 3: "One can avoid conflict by using history and tradition as a form of nourishment (possession) rather than trying to acquire things for oneself and thus facing the dangers that go with materialism (theft etc)."
Line 4: "When one's situation is uncomfortable there is the temptation to change things (through conflict) if one perceives the external forces as being weak. This would be unwise. By changing oneself and persevering a solution will come."
Line 5: "In any dispute, a suitable arbiter/judge can help resolve an apparently unresolvable situation."
Line 6: "A price is paid for continuing to fight until victory, for one now one has a reputation and there are many others who wish to do battle."

Transformative methods

By introducing this hexagram as context, you can change a state described by any other hexagram into a state described by hexagram 47. To make a state associated with another hexagram transform into this state, introduce hexagram 47 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 05 reflects an influence of 06 on that hexagram in that the 'flow' is in hexagram 06 and as such this reflects the need to adapt to that flow and so take-on the properties and methods of 06.
