Superior Virtue (the highest level of virtuous cultivation) acts purely through naturalness and non-interference, requiring no meticulous and fine discernment or probing. Inferior Virtue (the next level of cultivation) engages in conscious effort and deliberate practice, its functions operating in endless and tireless motion. When the upper aperture is closed, it is called "Being"; when the lower aperture is closed, it is called "Non-Being." By nourishing the "upper" with "Non-Being," the upper aspect then possesses Spiritual Virtue (the luminous radiant awareness) dwelling peacefully within it. This is what is known as the "Method of the Two Apertures" — the sublime functioning of the upper and lower orifices—whereby the Gold Energy (primordial, prenatally pure vital force) becomes interwoven and mutually nourishes and sustains the two.
Know the "white” yet abide in the “black" — the white is the Essence of Gold (the original Yang generative essentiality), and the black is the Foundation of Water (the primordial basis of Yin-essence). Water is the chief pivot of the Dao; it transcends all numerical designations, bearing the name “One.” At the inception of Yin and Yang interplay — within dark, fathomless obscurity is brewing Yellow Sprout**(the incipient arising of the unified primordial energetic breath)**. The overlord of the Five Metals is the Northern River Cart (the pivotal rotational mechanism for governing, augmenting and permeating the Yin and Yang vitalities). Therefore, lead appears black on its outside while being infused with metallic luster within — just as one swathed in simple coarse garments yet harboring precious jade; seen externally, seemingly unconventional like an unconstrained and wondrously free-hearted person.
Metal is the mother of water: the mother conceals herself within her son's womb; water is the offspring of metal, and the son, subsequently,cocooned and harbored deep inside the mother's recessed encapsulations. When turned inward one alchemically reveals face-to-face operative wholeness: in this enclothic a literal physiological ‘primordial directorally orchestrated vessel to existential dimension he callings? that shadowy True Person’s essence no function apart, inherently integrated states, across ever. is a thing called True Person (the intrinsic energy of primordial Oneness supremely mysterious, simultaneously reflective substantiality with not since, ether & condensation bordering) Here somnambulant within ult adis beaute within from span wide enough be cloud-flux vast abysmal silts, swiftly toward heavy with though visible cloof infuses will arise..
