I Ching Hexagram nr. 29

Kǎn – Gorge, the abyss, repeated entrapment
Øverst	Trigram: K’an The Abysmal, Water
Nederst	Trigram: K’an The Abysmal, Water

Billedet:
Vand flyder på uafbrudt og når sit føl: Billedet af Abysmal gentages. Således den overlegne mand vandreture i varig dyd og driver virksomhed som undervisningen.

Vand når sit mål ved at strømme hele tiden. Det fylder op hver depression, før det flyder på. Den overlegne mand følger dette eksempel; Han er bekymret for, at godhed skal være en etableret egenskab af karakter snarere end en tilfældig og isoleret begivenhed. Så også i at undervise andre alt afhænger af sammenhængen, for det er kun gennem gentagelse, at eleven gør materialet hans egen.

The Image
Water flows on uninterruptedly and reaches its foal:The image of the Abysmal repeated. Thus the superior man walks in lasting virtue And carries on the business of teaching.

Water reaches its goal by flowing continually. It fills up every depression before it flows on. The superior man follows its example; he is concerned that goodness should be an established attribute of character rather than an accidental and isolated occurrence. So likewise in teaching others everything depends on consistency, for it is only through repetition that the pupil makes the material his own.

I Ching helt enkelt Hexagram nr. 29 Det billede, hexagrammet K’an viser, er vand: Vand, der falder fra himlen vand, som gennemstrømmer jorden; vand, der samler sig i rene og stille bassiner. Dette billede skal lære os, hvordan vi opfører os i vanskelige situationer. Strømmer vi igennem dem, idet vi forbliver sande mod det rene og uskyldige i os selv, undgår vi faren og når frem til et stille fristed og en gunstig skæbne på den anden side. K’an synes tit at advare om en besværlig tid, der enten nærmer sig eller allerede står for døren, og råder dig til ikke at falde for at længes efter øjeblikkelig og ubesværet løsning på den aktuelle vanskelighed. Når du bliver “følelsesmæssigt ambitiøs” – når du fastholder komfort og ønsker dig fri af livets strømme af forandring blokerer du det Skabende fra at løse vanskelighederne til din fordel. Hvad der er nødvendigt nu, er at acceptere situationen, at flyde med den som vand, at forblive uskyldig og ren og oprigtig, mens den Højere Magt udfærdiger en løsning. Dette vil ikke sige, at du ikke bør handle nu, men at du ikke bør gøre det ud fra frustration, ængstelse, desperation eller et ønske om at undgå situationen. Berolig i stedet dig selv og se efter den lære, der ligger skjult inden i problemet. Ret din indstilling, til den er åben, objektiv og ustruktureret. Opgiv dine mål og forbliv på vejen, hvor du går frem skridt for skridt, arm i arm, med den Vise. De, hvis hjerter og sind holdes rene og uskyldige, forholder sig ret til alle begivenheder, fatter deres kosmiske betydning og gennemstrømmer dem med det rene vands styrke, klarhed og glans. Generelt Først når du lærer fra fare, vil du sejre over det. Kærlighed Du må ikke overreagere på en situation. Sørg for at du ikke tillader et argument at blive voldeligt eller depressivt. Undgå følelsesmæssige udbrud. Forretning Dette er en potentielt farlig tid for din virksomhed og du skal holde hovedet koldt for at løse problemerne. Personligt Brug meditation for at hjælpe med at finde kreative løsninger på de aktuelle problemer.

 

Kommentar From the book I Ching. This hexagram consists of a doubling of the trigram K’an. It is one of the eight hexagrams in which doubling occurs. The trigram K’an means a plunging in. A yang line has plunged in between two yin lines and is closed in by them like water in a ravine. The trigram K’an is also the middle son. The Receptive has obtained the middle line of the Creative, and thus K’an develops. As an image it represents water, the water that comes from above and is in motion on earth in streams and rivers, giving rise to all life on earth. In man’s world K’an represents the heart, the soul locked up within the body, the principle of light inclosed in the dark–that is, reason. The name of the hexagram, because the trigram is doubled, has the additional meaning, “repetition of danger.” Thus the hexagram is intended to designate an objective situation to which one must become accustomed, not a subjective attitude. For danger due to a subjective attitude means either foolhardiness or guile. Hence too a ravine is used to symbolize danger; it is a situation in which a man is in the same pass as the water in a ravine, and, like the water, he can escape if he behaves correctly.

Denne hexagram består af en fordobling af trigram K’an. Det er en af de otte hexagrammer hvor fordobling forekommer. Den trigram K’an betyder en fremryk. En yang linie har kastet mellem to yin linjer og er lukket i ved dem som vand i en kløft. Den trigram K’an er også den mellemste søn. Den receptive har opnået den midterste linje i Creative, og dermed K’an udvikler. Som et billede det repræsenterer vand, det vand, der kommer fra oven og er i bevægelse på jorden i vandløb og floder, der giver anledning til alt liv på jorden. I mandeverden K’an repræsenterer hjertet, sjælen låst i kroppen, at princippet om lys omsluttes i mørke – dvs. grund. Navnet på hexagram, fordi trigram fordobles, har den yderligere betydning, “gentagelse af fare.” Således hexagram skal udpege en objektiv situation, som man må vænne, ikke et subjektivt holdning. For fare på grund af et subjektivt holdning betyder enten dumdristighed eller list. Derfor også en slugt bruges til at symbolisere fare; Det er en situation, hvor en mand er i den samme pasning som vandet i en slugt, og ligesom vandet, kan han slippe, hvis han opfører sig korrekt.

Six at the beginning means: Repetition of the Abysmal. In the abyss one falls into a pit. Misfortune.

By growing used to what is dangerous, a man can easily allow it to become part of him. He is familiar with it and grows used to evil. With this he has lost the right way, and misfortune is the natural result.

Giver du efter for en dårlig vane, uanset hvor lille, falder du til sidst i et afgrundsdybt hul. Læg det ukorrekte bag dig nu.

Nine in the second place means: The abyss is dangerous. One should strive to attain small things only.

When we are in danger we ought not to attempt to get out of it immediately, regardless of circumstances; at first we must content ourselves with not being overcome by it. We must calmly weigh the conditions of the time and by satisfied with small gains, because for the time being a great success cannot be attained. A spring flows only sparingly at first, and tarries for some time before it makes its way in to the open.

En farlig afgrund ligger åben foran dig. Dette er en tid, hvor du bør følge den Vise opmærksomt og tage små, forsigtige skridt.

Six in the third place means: Forward and backward, abyss on abyss. In danger like this, pause at first and wait, Otherwise you will fall into a pit in the abyss. Do not act this way.

Here every step, forward or backward, leads into danger. Escape is out of the question. Therefore we must not be misled into action, as a result of which we should only bog down deeper in the danger; disagreeable as it may be to remain in such a situation, we must wait until a way out shows itself.

tekst

Six in the fourth place means: A jug of wine, a bowl of rice with it; Earthen vessels Simply handed in through the Window. There is certainly no blame in this.

In times of danger ceremonious forms are dropped. What matters most is sincerity. Although as a rule it is customary for an official to present certain introductory gifts and recommendations before he is appointed, here everything is simplified to the utmost. The gifts are insignificant, there is no one to sponsor him, he introduces himself; yet all this need not be humiliating if only there is the honest intention of mutual help in danger. Still another idea is suggested. The window is the place through which light enters the room. If in difficult times we want to enlighten someone, we must begin with that which is in itself lucid and proceed quite simply from that point on.

tekst

Nine in the fifth place means: The abyss is not filled to overflowing, It is filled only to the rim. No blame.

Danger comes because one is too ambitious. In order to flow out of a ravine, water does not rise higher than the lowest point of the rim. So likewise a man when in danger has only to proceed along the line of least resistance; thus he reaches the goal. Great labors cannot be accomplished in such times; it is enough to get out of the danger.

tekst

Six at the top means: Bound with cords and ropes, Shut in between thorn-hedged prison walls: For three years one does not find the way. Misfortune.

A man who in the extremity of danger has lost the right way and is irremediably entangled in his sins has no prospect of escape. He is like a criminal who sits shackled behind thorn hedged prison walls.

Hvis du fastholder upassende opførsel, når dit hjerte ved, hvad der er korrekt, vil du blive håbløst fanget i vanskeligheder. Ved at følge det gode og forblive tålmodig, redder du dig selv og vender tilbage til lyset.
