45 Congregating; Assembling |
Trigrams: devotion to another/others(bottom), intensity in expression (top) : with/from devotion comes intensity in expression [lake over earth]
The mud from which 45 has emerged is best described by analogy to the under-stated qualities of hexagram 25, asserting (stand up to say one's perspective without fear of consequences).
Cooperative format : In hexagram 45 we find a social unit with strong traditional roots remains balanced. These spiritual foundations are celebrated, with the celebration itself acting as a boost to unity; enforcing the strength of the group. In the image, to avoid possible conflicts in these situations, all weapons are banned and, as a result, weapons as a precautionary tool no longer exist. This requires that guards be to be set to warn of possible dangers.
Oppositional format : lake against darkness.
Template format : Expansive bonding in a context of contractive blending. Intense self-reflection in a context of devotion.
Five-Phase Relationships : The trigram of Earth reflects Filtration (through belief, given rules). The trigram of Lake reflects Exchange (cooperative). FIltration (by faith) through Exchange (by cooperation) is expressed as congregating to celebrate that faith - to 'exchange' with one's 'god'.
Goal of 45 - hexagram 05 (or 'how do I 05? - 45' How do I cultivate connections? Through a positive, celebrating crowd)
45 is the goal of 17 (or 'how do I 45? - 17' How do I form a crowd, a congregation to celebrate a belief? By having formed a belief in the first place)
