I Ching Hexagram nr. 55

Fēng – Abounding, abundance, fullness
Øverst	Trigram: Chên The Arousing, Thunder
Nederst	Trigram: Li The Clinging, Flame

Billedet
Både torden og lyn kommer: Billedet af overflod. Den overlegne mand beslutter derfor retssager og udfører straffe.

Denne hexagram har en vis tilknytning til Shih Ho, Bidende Through (hexagram nr 21), hvor torden og lyn på samme måde optræder sammen, men i omvendt rækkefølge. I Bidende Through, er love fastsat; her de anvendes og håndhæves. Klarhed (Li, hexagram nr 30) inden gør det muligt at undersøge de faktiske omstændigheder, præcis, og chok (Chen, hexagram nr. 51) uden sikrer en streng og præcis udførelse af straffe.

The Image
Both thunder and lightning come: The image of Abundance. Thus the superior man decides lawsuits and carries out punishments.

This hexagram has a certain connection with Shih Ho, Biting Through (Hexagram no 21), in which thunder and lightning similarly appear together, but in the reverse order. In Biting Through, laws are laid down; here they are applied and enforced. Clarity (Li) within makes it possible to investigate the facts exactly, and shock (Chen) without ensures a strict and precise carrying out of punishments.

I Ching helt enkelt Hexagram nr. 55 Hexagrammet Fêngs billede viser torden og lyn, der fylder himlen. Det betegner en periode med enorme kræfter, der – som alle sådanne øjeblikke kun varer en tid. Her instrueres vi om, hvordan vi kan vide, når øjeblikket er inde, og hvad vi bør gøre, når det ikke er. Vor indflydelse i verden er naturligt præget af ebbe og flod. Det ene øjeblik er andre fulde af mistro, og bevægelse fremad er umulig. I det næste, ved urokkeligt at fastholde det sande og gode, genopvækker vi deres modtagelighed, og vækst kan finde sted. Kun ved nøje at notere os disse cyklusser – andres åbenhed/tillukkethed i henseende til vores indflydelse – kan vi opnå storhed. For at kunne dette må vi opøve denne tilstand af uafhængig agtpågivenhed. I denne tilstand af stille observation åbner vi vore hjerter for den Vises hjælp, hvilket så på sin side åbner vore øjne for, hvad der er muligt og hvad ikke. Denne klarhed gør os i stand til at bevæge os med styrke og ynde, når tiden er ret, og i dette opnår vi overflod. Fêng fortæller os også, at indflydelse ikke kan vare for evigt; som solen står op, må den også gå ned. Når modtageligheden bøjer sig for mistillid, og vores indflydelse begynder at svinde, bør vi ikke kæmpe for at befæste eller forlænge den. Beskedenhed og objektivitet kræver, at vi accepterer dette skred. Ved at lade det forbipasserende øjeblik falde og gå ind i det næste med en korrekt og afbalanceret holdning, sparer vi os selv til en mere gunstig tid. Generelt Sørg for at tænke på fremtiden, selv når du er på toppen af succes. Kærlighed Nyd og fejre succesen med dit forhold. Forretning Selvom du er i øjeblikket har stor succes, skal du sørge for at lægge planer for fremtiden. Personligt Dette er en meget vellykket tid for dig. Sørg for at din succes giver varige fordele.

 

Kommentar From the book I Ching. Chên is movement; Li is flame, whose attribute is clarity. Clarity within, movement without-this produces greatness and abundance. The hexagram pictures a period of advanced civilization. However, the fact that development has reached a peak suggests that this extraordinary condition of abundance cannot be maintained permanently.

Chen er bevægelse; Li er flamme, hvis attribut er klarhed. Klarhed i, bevægelse uden-det producerer storhed og overflod. Hexagrammet viser en periode med avanceret civilisation. Det forhold, at udviklingen har nået et højdepunkt tyder dog på, at denne ekstraordinære betingelse af overflod ikke kan opretholdes permanent.

Nine at the beginning means: When a man meets his destined ruler they can be together ten days and it is not a mistake. Going meets with recognition.

To bring about a time of abundance, a union of clarity with energetic movement is needed. Two individuals possessed of these two attributes are suited to each other, and even if they spend an entire cycle of time together during the period of abundance, it will not be too long, nor is it a mistake. Therefore one may go forth, in order to make one’s influence felt; it will meet with recognition.

Muligheden for et indflydelsesrigt forbund er til stede. Oprethold klarhed og balance, hvorpå du bør handle energisk, når vejen åbner. Når den lukker sig, træk dig da tilbage uden modstand.

Six in the second place means: The curtain is of such fullness that the polestars can be seen at noon. Through going one meets with mistrust and hate. If one rouses him through truth good fortune comes.

It often happens that plots and party intrigues, which have the darkening effect of an eclipse of the sun, come between a ruler intent on great achievement and the man who could effect great undertakings. Then, instead of the sun, we see the northern stars in the sky. The ruler is overshadowed by a party that has usurped power. If a man at such a time were to try to take energetic measures, he would encounter only mistrust and envy, which would prohibit all movement. The essential thing then is to hold inwardly to the power of truth, which in the end is so strong that it exerts an invisible influence on the ruler, so that all goes well.

Mistillid og misundelse gør det umuligt at øve indflydelse. De mindreværdige elementer vil spredes, hvis du holder godt fast i indre sandhed.

Nine in the third place means: The underbrush is of such abundance that the small stars can be seen at noon. He breaks his right arm. No blame.

The image is that of a progressive covering over of the sun. Here the eclipse reaches totality, therefore even the small stars can be seen at noon. In the sphere of social relationships, this means that the prince is now so eclipsed that even the most insignificant persons can push themselves into the foreground. This makes it impossible for an able man, though he might be the right hand of the ruler, to undertake anything. It is as though his arm were broken, but he is not to blame for being thus hindered in action.

Dit seneste succes er overskygget af et hurtig bevægende element, som kan snuppe tøjlerne fra dine hænder. I den efterfølgende forvirring, der selv ubetydelige mennesker få magten. Dette gør det umuligt for dig at udrette meget lige nu. Selvom du ikke er skyld, kan en tid med tab og vanskeligheder godt følge.

Nine in the fourth place means:The curtain is of such fullness. That the polestars can be seen at noon. He meets his ruler, who is of like kind. Good fortune.

Here the darkness is already decreasing, therefore interrelated elements come together. Here too the complement must be found-the necessary wisdom to complement joy of action. Then everything will go well. The complementary factor postulated here is the reverse of the one in the first line. In the latter, wisdom is to be complemented by energy, while here energy is complemented by wisdom.

Når en mørk skygge har midlertidigt passeret over et land med velstand og succes, en urolig fornemmelse er stadig bagefter. For at forhindre et midlertidigt tilbageslag i at blive en permanent tilstand, skal der gøres en indsats for at finde komplementære styrker, afstive din position.

Six in the fifth place means: Lines are coming, blessing and fame draw near. Good fortune.

The ruler is modest and therefore open to the counsel of able men. Thus he is surrounded by men who suggest to him the lines of action. This brings blessing, fame, and good fortune to him and all the people.

De, der bringer personlig beskedenhed til høje stillinger tiltrække dem, der er i stand til at tilbyde strålende råd. Accept deres råd bringer store velsignelser og højeste lykke. Situationen er ligesom en velhavende mand, der ansætter de bedste investeringsrådgivere, og derefter rent faktisk lytter til dem! De rige bliver rigere.

Six at the top means: His house is in a state of abundance. He screens off his family. He peers through the gate and no longer perceives anyone. For three years he sees nothing. Misfortune.

This describes a man who because of his arrogance and obstinacy attains the opposite of what he strives for. He seeks abundance and splendor for his dwelling. He wishes at all odds to be master in his house, which so alienates his family that in the end he finds himself completely isolated.

Gør du uret brug af overfloden, bliver ulykke resultatet. Stolthed og hårdhed mod andre fik dit hus til at styrte sammen og lod dig stå ude i regnen.
