The Historical Significance of Cosmic Change
The first lecture on the principles of cosmic change is a historic moment in itself. It provides profound insights related to the essence of the universe. We discuss the fundamental laws of the universe and explore the complexities of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements.
Yin-Yang and the Five Elements
Yin-Yang is the key to understanding the essence of the universe, where two opposing forces lead to growth through contradiction and opposition. This interaction achieves balance through the principle of harmony, represented by Earth (土).
The Role of the Five Movements and Six Energies
The laws of the Five Elements explain the movement of the universe through the forms of the Five Movements and Six Energies. The Five Elements of Heaven are explained as the Five Movements, and the Five Elements of Earth as the Six Energies, and these two are combined through the movement of Heaven and Earth and the action of movement and energy.
Cosmology and the Truth of Sangje
Cosmology is essential for understanding the truth of Sangje. By realizing the fundamental laws of the universe, we come to understand how great Sangje is. This provides a new perception that transcends the existing concept of God.
The Purpose and Essence of the Universe
What is the purpose of the universe’s operation and its fundamental laws? This is explained through the force that is the foundation of the universe, known as the Source of Power (力源). We explore the essence of the universe through the Western philosophical concept of ‘Substance.’
The Principle of Change and Harmony
Yin-Yang leads to harmony and change within contradiction and opposition. At the core of this harmony is Earth (土), which is an important element explaining the essence of change. The role of Earth is to harmonize Yin-Yang, enabling the continuous change of the universe.
The Role of Earth and the Theory of Human and Divine Transformation
In the process of completing change, the role of Earth and the theory of human and divine transformation play central roles. This explains the principle of the post-heavenly opening and presents the framework of change through the exchange between summer and autumn.
The Theory of Spirit and the Essence of the Universe
The theory of spirit explains the origin of cosmic spirit and human spirit. The exploration of the essence of spirit provides a deep understanding of the process of human life, the meaning of death, and the perpetuity of spirit.
The Essence of the Universe and Its Vitality
The essence of the universe is composed of not one but three. This indicates that the essence is not fixed in the process of cosmic change, and the process of change itself is part of the essence of the universe.
Conclusion
The principle of cosmic change is not merely a philosophical discussion but a profound journey exploring the fundamental laws of the universe. Through our perception and understanding, it allows us to newly realize the essence of Sangje and the universe. Through the deep insights and realizations that this exploration provides to life, we can move towards a better understanding.
