Due to the presence of BOTH/AND states in this hexagram's trichotomous form, this hexagram can share context with hexagram 42.
_______ __ __ __ _ __ __ _ __ T12
At all times, the path into hexagram 59 is that of 29 - containing. What this implies is that the change of any hexagram into 59 is forced to go through the characteristics of 29
At all times the path out of hexagram 59 is the opposite of the path in - in this case the path described by 30 - guiding, direction. Thus the process of hexagram 59 changing into any other hexagram has to pass through hexagram 30 to start.
Hexagram 59 finds it's roots in hexagram 60, limiting/standardising, with the emphasis on standardizing developing into dispelling illusions, dispersing.
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 07, uniforming.
For hexagram 59, 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
