Due to the presence of BOTH/AND states in this hexagram's trichotomous form, this hexagram can share context with hexagram 14.
__ _ __ _______ _______ __ _ __ T26
At all times, the path into hexagram 43 is that of 01 - Persevering, powering. What this implies is that the change of any hexagram into 43 is forced to go through the characteristics of 01
At all times the path out of hexagram 43 is the opposite of the path in - in this case the path described by 02 - devoting, trusting. Thus the process of hexagram 43 changing into any other hexagram has to pass through hexagram 02 to start.
Hexagram 43 finds it's roots in hexagram 44, Seducing, with the emphasis on seducing developing into seeding.
As we progress towards the refined point at the top of the hexagram, so we pass through ever-improving states, the description of which is given by the order of contextual hexagrams. The final contextual state, prior to text and context becoming 'one', is described by the line 5 influence - hexagram 14, directing.
For hexagram 43, the contextual hexagrams sequence from the base line through to the top is:
At a finer level of analysis, the contextual hexagrams encapsulate the behaviour of a hexagram pair - where one is connected to the unchanging line and the other to the line when it changes.These pairs are shown below, with The layout format described here
