Influence
Hexagram 31 of the Yi Jing · 咸 Xián
The figure
The Lake above the Mountain: joy resting on the immovable, water answering the hollow. The image of attraction, of what comes into resonance.
What this figure illuminates
Influence lights up the beginnings of a bond, the still-subtle pull between two beings or two possibilities. What truly moves us passes through availability, not pressure.
For a decision, the figure questions the rightness of an attraction: “does what draws me right now put me in resonance with something true, or only in motion?”.
A question to keep
Does what draws you put you in resonance with something true?
