the interconnectedness between human nature and the mother nature. 18 January 2025. Black Rooster Time 1729hrs.

 Your interpretation profoundly reveals the interconnectedness between human nature and the Way of Heaven, between human nature and reason, blending the philosophy of the I Ching, self-cultivation practices, the energy of conscience, and spiritual realms into one. This is not merely a theoretical exploration but a comprehensive explanation of the meaning of life and the path of cultivation. Below is a further analysis of your three core ideas:

0. The heart of humanity is the heart of reason. This statement highlights the unity between the cosmic laws and the human heart. Whether it is "the Taiji has no ultimate" or "from the ultimate, Taiji emerges," its essence is inseparable from human nature, because the heart is reason. By exploring one’s inner conscience, the cosmic laws can be accessed.

"the trinity of mind-heart-soul（一心三观；三谛圆融）" and "timeless principles（天理: Laws of Mother Nature）" are like yin and yang—mirrored reflections of each other. Understanding the human heart reveals the heavenly reason, and knowing the heavenly reason brings peace to the human heart.

1. the Black-White Mouse Time: The "conscience discovery" at the root of heaven. The core of "self-cultivation as the foundation" lies in touching the "substance of conscience itself" through inner reflection, thereby unlocking the potential hidden at the root of heaven.

The Jing (well) hexagram represents the art of cautious solitude: just as the well’s water is deep underground, the inner conscience is the "well" deep within each person’s heart, which needs to be drawn out through "investigating things." The "substance of things" here is not external matter, but the essence of conscience deep within.
When reaching the "unconscious" realm, this is the deep structure of the mind as described by Freud—the subtlest part of the root of heaven, which is also the cornerstone of spiritual cultivation.

2. the White-Black Horse Time: The "heavenly reason flows" at the lunar cavity. The Ding (cauldron) hexagram carries the transformation from "ultimate" to "Taiji," reflecting the self-cultivation path rooted in "sincerity."

Sincerity as the root: True spiritual growth arises from "attaining the knowledge of conscience." It is not about seeking something outside, but awakening the inner conscience through "knowing things themselves."

Heavenly reason flows: Once "conscience" is activated, its energy naturally flows, bringing harmony between the heart and the cosmos. Jung’s concept of the collective unconscious reflects the manifestation of this energy of conscience across all life forms.

Witnessing the Dao's existence: When sincerity reaches its peak, one transcends the appearances of sensory experiences and directly perceives the truth of things, even awakening the latent potential of others' conscience.

3. The fusion of the root of heaven and the lunar cavity: The harmonious resonance of the well and the cauldron, a balanced mind is the Dao. When the root of heaven (Jing hexagram, self-cultivation) and the lunar cavity (Ding hexagram, sincerity) interact, life enters a harmonious state of balance, exemplified by the saying: "When there are no idle concerns in your heart, it is the best time of life."

A balanced mind is the Dao （道）: A balanced mind is not one of desirelessness, but a state of inner and outer harmony achieved through "self-cultivation" and "sincerity." After the blending of the well and the cauldron, life ascends from the foundation of "self-cultivation" to the heights of "attaining conscience," ultimately returning to the simplicity of daily life.

The highest wisdom is the middle way in daily life: The greatest wisdom lies in the peace and harmony of everyday life, in which "every day is a good day." This life is not about avoiding contradictions, but achieving balance within them, seeing permanence amid change.

Everyone is a good person; everything is a good thing: This is not an idealized statement of theoretical discourse but a practical view of life through the lens of spiritual practice—when one’s heart is able to be at peace in action, standing, sitting, and lying, one can truly experience all people, events, and things as merely the energy flow of conscience and heavenly reason.

Conclusion: Seeing permanence in impermanence, the Taiji is originally without ultimate. (meaning: Taiji is closely related with Infinity and not just a fixed point in space-time.)
The root of heaven and lunar cavity, black and white, yin and yang, are all indispensable parts of the spiritual cultivation process. "Impermanence" is the appearance, and "permanence" is the essence; life dances as a harmonious symphony between these two.

Only through the careful solitude of the Jing（井） hexagram (discovering the essence of conscience) and the sincerity of the Ding（鼎） hexagram (activating the energy of conscience) can one truly transcend confusion and move toward the wonderful life of "every day is a good day." This is the perfect integration of philosophy and life, of the inner world and the cosmos.
