35 Progress
Progressing(Attracting, Bring into Light)
In a context of devotion we utilise setting a direction (an ideology).

"CHIN : grow and flourish, as young plants in the sun; increase, progress, permeate, impregnate; attached to. The ideogram: sun and reach, the daylight world."ERANOS p397

Image :

"[With devotion comes direction(ideology)]. Light over the Earth. [Attraction]. One uses natural guidance [devotion to] to brighten one's 'Way' (tao)."

Class: Differentiating


Commentary :

In hexagram 35 we find that when one's presence is not yet influencial, one must still persevere. This is done through 'purification' of the self, hopeful for the moment of recognition (8). This progress is noticeable (51) and highly attracting (45). Both in benefit and adversity - (read the line comments.) The focus is this to bring something into the light.

(All four hexagrams (14,35,8,5) deal with issues of potential and actual leadership. And correlate with the generic base trigram feature of seeking balance).

Goal of 35 - hexagram 26 (or 'how do I 26? - 35')

Five-Phase Relationships : The trigram of Earth reflects Filtration (through faith, given rules). The trigram of Fire reflects Distribution. Filtration through Distribution is expressed as bringing something of quality into the 'light' (or as 'the light').


35 is the goal of 21 (or 'how do I 35? - 21' How do I bring things into the light and so make progress? By solving all problems)

Extended Commentary

The raw context from which the situation derives is described by hexagram 16. The base line position is described by hexagram 51 enlightening/arousing. It passes through hexagram 45 Gathering/Massing before reaching here.

The Traditional Single Changing Line Comments:
Line 1
When there is progress there is also restriction. Testing but advantageous times. Loosening one's grip (releasing tension) can lead to enrichment. No harm in this.
Line 2
When there is progress there is also apprehension. Testing but advantageous times. Making peace [but keeping one's defenses up (prepared for future possibilities)] leads to success. A taste of power.
Line 3
In the presence of a loyal crowd one's troubles [appear to be(facade)] over. [Be Warned]
Line 4
Progress attracts thieves. Testing and dangerous times. [Influence of hexagram 15 suggests either - Hide one's true nature through modesty, or, one is affected by the natural influence of evening things out]
Line 5
One's troubles are over. relaxing, one has reached one's goal. But one must move on to actualize all potentials. [A fair thing to do. Do not rest on one's laurels]
Line 6
Pushing one's ideals. One attempts to overthrow the state. Dangerous but acceptable. One has lost one's track. Regrettable.
Transformative methods

By introducing this hexagram as context, you can change a state described by any other hexagram into a state described by hexagram 16. To make a state associated with another hexagram transform into this state, introduce hexagram 16 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 36 reflects an influence of 35 on that hexagram in that the 'flow' is in hexagram 35 and as such this reflects the need to adapt to that flow and so take-on the properties and methods of 35.
