As people grow desires and passions surge forth, and the Yin elements will gradually dominate over the Yang Elements.
The Lou writing state comes into being the After Heaven state of our Heart-Mind.
In the Lo writing, we find the Yin elements in the superior position and dominant;
a counterclockwise circulation whereby each element conquers the other.
This chart can give us directions and the method to return back to the Original Innate Nature state we observed in the He Drawing.
If we take the Elemental numbers we find in the Lo Writing, we may list them as such:
Conquering of Yang Elements by the Yin Earth (Deluded Thoughts and Desire).
As one Yang is conquered, it changes to its corresponding Yin Element moving in a counterclockwise fashion Yin Earth (Deluded Thoughts and Desire) conquers Yang Water (Enlightened Wisdom), and it transforms into Yin Water (Delusion and Sorrow); then the Yin Water is able to conquer the Yang Fire (Social Harmony). This circulation of dominant Yin Elements continues on, as finally the Yin Wood will continue to conquer the Yang Earth, allowing the deluded thoughts and desires to dominate once again and continue the cycle of suppression of Yang and dominance of Yin Elements.
In this representation, we must realize that in the state of the Lo Writing, the Wu Earth or Heavenly Five the state of True Intention - has become obscured and dominated by Jia Earth or Earthly Ten the state of Desire and Deluded Thoughts.
To begin our journey back to regain our Original Innate Nature, we must begin with the practice of Meditation and Discipline of the Heart-Mind.
We must cultivate the power of Yang Earth, using True Intention in our meditation practice to conquer Yin Earth; stilling the Heart-Mind and conquering the Deluded Thoughts and Desire.
Reversal of the course - Return to the Original Innate Nature
Through the power of using True Intention in the practice of Meditation The Yang Earth shall conquer the Yin Water (Delusion / Sorrow), transforming into Yang Water (Enlightened Wisdom). Yang Water will conquer Yin Fire (Cleverness and Enjoyment), transforming into Yang Fire (Social Harmony). Yang Fire will then conquer Yin Metal (Evil and Anger), transforming the Yin Metal into Yang Metal (Righteousness). Yang Metal will then conquer Yin Wood (Abundant Joy), transforming the Yin Wood into Yang Wood (Benevolence). Yang Wood (Benevolence), will continue to conquer the Yin Earth (Deluded Thoughts), giving rise to the Yang Earth again (True Intention) returning to the harmonious wave of Qi that we found represented in the He Drawing returning to our Original Innate Nature
When storing up both Innate Nature and Life Force,
Ceaselessly tempering them into one,
Can you keep them united, avoiding separation forever?
When focusing upon the cultivation of Qi to attain a high level
Of serene comprehensiveness,
Can you achieve the state as an infant?
When cleansing the Heart of all stray ideas and desires,
Can you keep the Heart from any disturbances?
When cultivating Jing, Qi, Shen and the form of body,
Can you settle the Mind-Will in the emptiness without letting it touch one thing?
When the Heart is involved in alternate motion and stillness,
Can you keep the Heart still, falling into deep emptiness?
When the Heart stays in serene comprehensiveness,
Can you be free of any consciousness?
