No. 59, Dispersion / Dissolution

Dispersion. Success.

"The king approaches his temple.
It furthers one to cross the great water.
Perseverance furthers."

Another hexagram received without changing lines. This Dispersion is likely to take awhile. Something is separating you from those with where you should be joined. It is likely a rigid attitude - probably yours, but possibly someone else's.

To achieve the Dispersion necessary to enter this "new era," the Yi advises "cooperation in great general undertakings that set a high goal for the will of the people; in common concentration on this goal, all barriers dissolve . . ." [Wilhelm] What "great general undertaking" can you join in?
