61. Inner Trust
Inner trust of piglets and fishes.
Good fortune.
It is beneficial to cross the big river.
It is beneficial to persist.
Having confidence like piglets and fishes have. Things go well. This is a good moment for big undertakings. Keep going on.
(Inner trust is trust in oneself: confidence. The natural behavior of young pigs and of fish is with a lot of confidence.)
Line 4:
The moon is nearly full.
One of the pair of horses runs away.
Without fault.
One goes one's own way, in order to be true to oneself. This is a good moment for that. It is not wrong to do so.
(The moon being nearly full, means that the amount of light at night is at this maximum the coming days. Things are at it's clearest now.)
Line 5:
Having a trusting relationship.
Without fault.
A connection to someone where each can trust the other. Nothing wrong with that.
Hexagram is changing to:
38. Estranged
Estranged.
In small matters, good fortune.
Being estranged from someone, there is a sense of being separated. Things that are not too important will go well.
"Almost full moon. The horse team is dead. No fault in this."
[In the position of a minister(line 4) rather than a noble (line 5), the brightest one can become is as bright as the full moon reflecting the light of the noble. To achieve this one has used up all of one's strength.
Be wary of excess (arrogance). One's yielding core can never become more than a full moon

Below, Berkers has a simple and elegant take on the line. ( After many years of consulting Wilhelm, Legge, and Richard Lynn translations and commentary, I now find LIse and Berkers to be more quiet and concise, less political,social,and scholarly. Celestial Dragon is another good one for refreshing pared down elegance. Cannot find it lately, tho.)
Yes, I believe separation can lead to a sort of synthesis: A higher union afterward. H45 is a group thing, yes, although there can be something highly personal within that. I know, wish I were made of $$$, I would have a vast I Ching library--and lofting:
so the idea behind this line is having trust and confidence in breaking away from someone/something. the strength,momentum and direction of a team of horses is gone because the inner truth of the horse makes it go a different direction?
I see lofting compares both 4 and 5. So when received together they are mirroring each other in someway?
hows this. 2 horses were happily running along together in the same direction, then one horse suddenly decides to veer right cos it had a feeling deep inside that there was a lovely big bale of hay the other side of that hill.(4) after legging it across the hill, feeling like it just had to do it for a time, (maybe to build inner confidence in itself?) down the trail he sees the other horse again and after the very important divergence in their mutual paths, learns how to maintain his own independent direction but at the same time both come together knowing their own seperate truth, but with restored trust and confidence in eachother. (5)
what dya make of them apples?
lofting also has 61>38 as celebrating its 'faith' by means of hex 45.
interesting, cos i just asked what my position should be towards him and got 45.4>8.
45 isnt very personal though is it? its about a big group celebrating something spiritual, right?, not just 2 people ? and 8 is a big group hex too innit?
i want all the boooks!!
could you give me details on lynn, berker and celestial dragon? I havent heard of these translations before. Thanks a mill yet again foxx!
Bests,
