(Kun, Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen), fundamental principles of life.
The trigram consists of three horizontal lines, located one above the other. Each of the lines can be a whole horizontal line” – » (strong line, “nine”, “son”) or a horizontal line interrupted in the middle "– -" (weak line, “six”, “daughter”).
Let’s introduce the digital designation of trigrams, which is convenient for converting numbers from binary to decimal. Let us designate in the trigram the whole horizontal line” – » (“nine”) as “1” (“phallus”), and the horizontal line interrupted in the middle “– -” (“six”) as “0” (“vagina”). In the numerical designation of the trigram, for example “011”, the digit on the left “011” indicates the lower line of the trigram, and the digit on the right “011” indicates the upper line. Then the designation of eight trigrams will look like:
000 (Kun, mother);
111 (Qian, father);
110 (Dui, third daughter);
101 (Li, second daughter);
100 (Zhen, first son);
011 (Xun, first daughter);
010 (Kan, second son);
001 (Gen, third son).
Names of trigrams are given in parentheses.
The eight instances of the psyche, studied in octanalysis, uniquely correspond to the eight trigrams of Fu Xi:
0-Source / Kun, mother;
7-Imagination/Qian, father;
6-Subconscious/Dui, third daughter;
5-Soul/Li, second daughter;
4-Heart/Zhen, first son;
3-Irratio/Xun, first daughter;
2-Ratio/Kan, second son;
1-Mind/Gen, third son.
3. The dominance cycles of Fu Xi Trigrams
In the harmonious, impeccable, natural, top to bottom, 07654321-hierarchy of the eight instances of the psyche, the instance (trigram) 0-Source / Kun (mother) is in the first place, and the instance (trigram) 7-Imagination / Qian (father) is in the second place, which reflects the deep meaning of arrangement of Universe. Introversion, turning attention inward, is characteristic of mother. Extraversion, turning attention outward, is characteristic of father.
In the human race, the biological mechanism of immortality (childbirth) is carried out by the mother’s womb. The Universe’s mechanism of human immortality is carried out by the instance of the psyche 0-Source (Unified Consciousness) – the trigram Kun (mother). Instance 0-Source/Kun (mother) is a cornucopia from which emanations come and what we call the Universe is created.
