Breakthrough
Hexagram 43 of the Yi Jing · 夬 Guài
The figure
The Lake above Heaven: five solid lines pushing the last broken one toward the outside. The image of breakthrough, of what must finally be said or cut.
What this figure illuminates
Breakthrough lights up the moment of resolution, when something long ripened must be named or cut. But decisive force calls for uprightness: you carry it by clarity, not by violence.
For a decision, the figure questions the move to act: “what I must finally face — how do I carry it plainly, without lowering myself to the means I reproach?”.
A question to keep
What you must finally face — how do you carry it with uprightness?
