12. P'i - Standstill [Stagnation]

          -----
         -----     above     Ch'ien The Creative, Heaven
         -----
         -- --
         -- --     below     K'un   The Receptive, Earth
         -- --

    The Judgement

         Standstill. Evil people do not further
         The perseverance of the superior man.
         The great departs; the small approaches.

    The Image

         Heaven and earth do not unite:
         The image of Standstill.
         Thus the superior man falls back upon his inner worth
         In order to escape the difficulties.
         He does not permit himself to be honored with revenue.

    Changing Lines

         Changing yin at the bottom means:
         When ribbon grass is pulled up, the sod comes with it.
         Each according to his kind.
         Perseverance brings good fortune and success.

         Changing yin in the second place means:
         They bear and endure;
         This means good fortune for inferior people.
         The standstill serves to help the great man to attain success.

         Changing yin in the third place means:
         They bear shame.

         Changing yang in the fourth place means:
         He who acts at the command of the highest
         Remains without blame.
         Those of like mind partake of the blessing.

         Changing yang in the fifth place means:
         Standstill is giving way.
         Good fortune for the great man.
         "What if it should fail, what if it should fail?"
         In this way he ties it to a cluster of mulberry shoots.

         Changing yang at the top means:
         The standstill comes to an end.
         First standstill, then good fortune.

Presentation Discussion

By Matt -
I figured we'd want to start a discussion for when to do our presentations. I figured we could start Friday during normal class hours and then finish up around 2. I think everyone should all respond in the comments with our thoughts. Remember if you don't use your voice you have no right to complain about the schedule after it's made.
