32 / 28 Duration

(51->32->57->42)
"HENG : continue in the same way and spirit; constant perpetual, regular; self-renewing; extend everywhere; the moon almost full" ERANOS p371
"[With cultivation comes awareness].
Thunder, Wind. Persevering (Constancy).
One uses (permanency) rather than continuous change."
Hexagram 32 is the point of balance between the two main hexagrams of transition (51,57). We are as far away as possible from the moment of transition. We experience duration in a social context of an enduring relationship; the idea of commitment. Contextually, we develop from a raw sense of direction (14) that becomes seductive (44), leading to wholehearted commitment.
(The four hexagrams (51,32,42,57) deal with the cyclic nature of transitions. As influenced by their base trigrams).
The raw context from which the situation derives is described by hexagram 14 directing/great possessing. It passes through hexagram 44 Seducing/Persuading before reaching here.
By introducing this hexagram as context, you can change a state described by any other hexagram into a state described by hexagram 50. To make a state associated with another hexagram transform into this state, introduce hexagram 50 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.
