"[With containment comes influence : Dispeling]
In primal times one made offerings to the gods to establish
the temples."

In a context of containment we utilise influence.

Commentary

In hexagram 59 a gentle change can be used to soften any defense mechanism. Once a crack appears the influence strengthens by slipping through the crack and working from within. This form of release is far more subtle and long term than 37/40 and is associated with the conscious (explicit man created) release of 55. It involves the concept of trust and penetrating defenses leading to the ability to clear things away - to dispell illusions. Contextually we combine articulation/standards (60) with establishing uniformity (07) to dispel illusions.

hexagram 59 is the general form of hexagram 34

The Traditional Single Changing Line Comments:

Line 1 -

"[In the beginning one takes advantage of raising one's spirits. Inspirational and favourable.] [Overflowing, fill, raise the level of] ]

Line 2 -

"Disperion: quickly leaving one's table. Any remorse disappears. " [Advancing, 'eat and run?']

Line 3 -

" Dispersing one's [power] without remorse." [sacrificing oneself to influencing all over, like the wind {martyrdom?} ]

Line 4 -

"It is favourable to disperse one's flock. Through dispersal one is alone in one's temple. This is not hiding, one just creates a place and moment for pondering." [Waiting-Nourishment]

Line 5 -

"[One receives an imperial edict]. One cry's out greatly (complains?). Dispersing[/bypassing] the king's residence. No harm in this." [If one's way is blocked, one goes around]

Line 6 -

"Dispersing one's blood. [met: things of value]. leaving, sent far away [but still connected]. No harm in this." [To overcome dangers dispersing assets helps] )

Extended Commentary

The raw context from which the situation derives is described by hexagram 60 articulating/Standardizing (seperate and distinguish). It passes through hexagram 07 Uniforming before reaching here.

Transformative methods

By introducing this hexagram as context, you can change a state described by any other hexagram into a state described by hexagram 29. To make a state associated with another hexagram transform into this state, introduce hexagram 29 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.
