IN QUEST OF THE WAY TO BE HEALTHY

Underpinning the Onnuri medicine is the body of principles common to all philosophy, notably the Homo-Hetero theory, Triunit theory (Neutro, Hetero and Homo), Six-Origin theory (Six-Ki theory, emotion and reason theories), Eight-Origins theory, and H-particle theory.

By virtue of the fact that the word ONNURI intrinsically carries the meaning of what can be described as the «whole world*, the notion of the Onnuri medicine would involve any number of therapies developed on the basis of the above mentioned theories.

First of all, this is the Homo-system of the human body, developed to cover any correspondence system to be found in it. These are fingertoe correspondence systems and their therapy (acupuncture); hand and foot correspondence systems and their re-flexotherapy and acupuncture (Su Jok Acupuncture). Besides, there are auricular correspondence systems and their therapy (acupuncture), head correspond-ence systems and their therapy (acupuncture), limbs correspondence systems and their therapy (acupunc-ture), trunk correspondence systems, their therapy (acupuncture). All of them stand as the Homo-system embodiment.

Second, the conceptual interpretation of the bodily energy system — as viewed by the Onnuri medicine — will rest on the theory of the Diamond energy system that embraces the fundamental laws governing all creation.

This Diamond energy system has the capacity to link all dimensions of energy systems together to form a single, unified framework incorporating the core meridians, chakras, border meridians, energy gateways (external chakras), 12 meridians of the body and their energy gateways (points).

On the strength of this integrated energy system it has become possible to deal with a diverse range ofconditions using the body acupuncture (therapy) along with chakra acupuncture (therapy). Moreover, the said energy system has given rise to the energy-flow therapy, and profound therapeutic effects have become achievable through the use of each correspondence acupuncture (therapy).

Third, constituting a separate subdivision of the Onnuri medicine will be other types of treatment, including that with herbs, homeopathy, pharmacological therapy, and naturopathy.

In an effort to achieve the greatest efficacy of treatment in a most natural way we should — while applying the therapies of choice to certain diseases — follow the order of nature, which is the main governing force in any unit of existence.

Ever since the basic theoretical concepts of the Onnuri medicine were built up, the scope of the relevant data has been showing a rapid and steady growth. In this context, it is essential that the practitioners consistently keep abreast in the ever-advancing knowledge and a wealth of information being accumulated.

I am most happy to know that the «Onnuri medicine* magazine will come out on a regular basis for the benefit of the sick patients, and that it will find its faithful readers among medical practitioners and healers else-where and everywhere.

I am bringing my heartfelt thanks to the Moscow-based Su Jok Academy that spares no efforts for the development of the Onnuri-medicine and Su Jok acupuncture, to the Academy where the publication of this new magazine is underway.

Let the Spirit of Onnuri be always reigning in this magazine, and let the magazine stand as a useful guide to all people, sustaining them in their drive for a serene and insured harmony of life.

HOMO-SYSTEM OF THE BODY

Prof. Park Jae Woo (Seoul, Korea) President of International Su Jok Acupuncture Association

<Homo-force stands as the main factor set to create all types of correspondence systems in the hody>

With our Universe constantly expanding, the process of evolution carrying on, and the sciences always speeding up in their advancement — medicine will unavoidably keep pace with the overall progress. Thus, one of the novel medical approaches involves treatment through the body's Homo-system.

Any phenomenon you may come across in the Universe would result from the interaction of two dia-metrically opposed forces called Homo and Hetero. The Homo-force will tend to unite everything, to make it unchangeable and fixed and to reduce it to its initial Oneness. This force would act with a view of limiting the wide range of different things, therefore everything to be found in the Universe will follow a single principle and will act in compliance with general laws of nature. Conversely, the Hetero-force causes the changes, variability, separation and disconnection. Since the Homo- and Hetero-forces are known to act simultaneously, this would ensure a harmonious development of the world we live in, and would manifest itself in the unnumerable examples of the similarity — the all-round principle underlying the organization of the Universe.

The this world has come to be from the non-existence (or in association with the null state), or Homo; then something different emerged — Hetero — as a result of a change that took place. All the subsequent Hetero phenomena that have the common origin will be similar to each other in varying degrees. And it is due to the presence of the similarity factors — which are actually Homo-factors — the Hetero-phenomena would get involved in the process of Homo-correspondence. The more Homo-factors there are between things and phe-nomena, the more intimate is their cross-correspondence, the stronger their connection and interaction. In point of fact, the Homo-correspondence of individual elements of a system is a single dominating contributor of its integrity. It is the Homo-interaction which acts to guarantee the preservation, stability and further development of the system.

It should also be noted that forming part of the processes that occur in the system of Homo-interactions of all existence will be the Homo energy system that exchanges and carries the information needed for further development. In this doing, the unified, harmonized and orderly Homo-system of the world will be formed.

Correspondence does emerge as one of the phenomena essential to Homo-system, where by all the units of Homo-system would be more closely connected. This will result in the more sustainable conditions for their existence being improved.

At the same time, the Homo-system would provide and sustain the Hetero-existence. Basically, all the phenomena do exist as an unfailing integrity due to the said system, thus contributing to the supreme control functions being fulfilled and the goal of any existence being achieved.

Backed up in its potentiality by the Homo-origin, Hetero-force will have the ability to create things noted for all differences, yet containing similarities between them. Although always striving to oppose any changes, Homo-force would fail to avoid them because the world around us is already that of Hetero.

It is due to the impact of Homo-force set to minimize the differences and the capacity to bring changes that there would emerge in our world the identity and similarity phenomena. This very mechanism is being organized by Homo-force and will result in the Homo-system of the Universe being established. Homo-force will tend to make all objects and phenomena most efficiently manageable. This is achieved by setting up the Homo-system.

On the other hand, the Homo-system has proved quite indispenseble for the continuous and sustained existence of the world we live in. Basically, it is the correspondences involving the homo-factors shared by different units of existence which is another important factor in strengthening their unification and contributing to their stable existence.

The prerequisite condition of the units of existence having adequate strength and capacity to withstand any hardship in order to survive will be their forward development, ability to provide for a wide range of varieties, multiplication of their numbers and the expansion of space to be occupied. This does seem to be one of the reasons behind the fact that the Homo-force has failed to preserve its original form and made it possible for the Hetero-force to create this Hetero-world.

This world is permeated with the correspondences energy set to maintain the identity helpful in securing their unification. It is quite natural, therefore, that the Homo-system would play an important role in

Page 5: SuJok Therapy
Page 6: SuJok Therapy

the human body which benefits from it very much — while the availability of a great number of correspond-ence systems in it would guarantee good health and maintain our living.

Indeed, the Homo system of our body has proved essential for all kinds of bodily activities and is by far conducive to keeping our body and mind viable. Without this system — as without the air — there can be no life whatsoever.

The human organism forms an integral part with the environment and is in permanent Homo-corre-spondence with it, based on the processes involving the exchange between energies, information and sub-stance. The organism represents the combination of functional systems noted for a variety of hierarchic dimensions, among which the Homo-system is of primary and most fundamental importance. This system, forming part of the Universal Homo-system, would combine spirit, thoughtful mind, emotions, the systems of organs, tissues, body parts, cells, etc. into a single whole, and would play an important role in the vital activity of the body by maintaining the processes of self-healing and the consistency of internal medium.

The human Homo-system has been organized in line with a number of specific principles. Incorporated in the Homo-system of the body there are two dimensional categories designated physical and metaphysical homo-systems.

As to the physical homo-system, it would include the chemical elements homo-system, substance homo-system, cell homo-system, organ homo-system, bodily-system homo-system, functional homo-system, embodiment homo-system, axis homo-system and

physical energy homo-system. On the other hand, the metaphysical homo-system would embrace the meta-physical energy homo-system, interest homo-system, emotion homo-system, reason homo-system, and spiritual homo-system.

The present article will be mainly focused on certain aspects of the embodiment homo-system — all against the physical background of the human body.

The embodiment-related Homo-system, which forms part of the body Homo-system, will be organized

so that each body part notable for functional or structural integrity would — owing to the processes of Homo-correspondence — contain the information on the status of the whole body or some of its parts. This information is represented in the form of specific metaphysical copies, or correspondence systems, capable of reflecting not only the anatomical organization of the body but its functional state as well. The cited

Page 7: SuJok Therapy

information would be available throughout the body, including the limbs, head and trunk. It is to be found in the skin, muscles, bony structures, and internal organs (fig. 1).

The body or its individual part correspondence will occupy the whole individual structure of the body, mimicking the size and outline of that structure. Indeed, any correspondence system would preserve the proportions of the body, organ or body part being represented (fig. 2, 3).

The existence of similarity between certain parts of the body or its organs and the whole body, be-tween minor parts of the body and its major parts (take, for instance, a finger bearing resemblance to the arm and trunk by the number of constituent parts running into three) — has led to the formation of the process of vertical Homo-correspondence. Illustrating the case are the correspondence systems in which the entire body would be represented on its certain areas,

Eg. 4. The auricle-of-ear correspondences to the body «head-up»

or the systems in which individual organs (body parts) would be projected onto the whole body (fig. 4).On the other hand, the similarity characteristic of certain constituent components of the body (head re-

sembles the fist, foot resembles the kidney, etc.) will provide a basis for the existence of horizontal Homo-correspondences. In this context, all the elements of the body Homo-system would have their correspond-ence not only with regard to the entire body, but also to its parts, internal organs, parts of organs, and so on (fig. 5).

The concurrent presence in the Homo-system of vertical connections (existing between the structures of different hierarchical dimensions) and horizontal connections (existing between the structures of one dimension) would give rise to the microsystems, mac-rosystems and isosystems of correspondence. As to the microsystems, the body or its parts projections would appear scaled down, in the macrosystems of corre-spondence the object to be represented will be of larger size, while in the isosystems the object to be repre-sented and the object's projection are quite similar in size. For instance, the tongue correspondence to heart is a microsystem, the kidney correspondence to heart will demonstrate an isosystem, while the heart corre-spondence on the trunk would form a correspondence macrosystem. Thus, the current recognition of the cor-respondence systems as solely representative of the microsystems does appear to be inadequate in terms

Fig. 5. The auricles-of-ear correspondences to the cerebral cortex base and sagittal section of the brain

Page 9: SuJok Therapy

of the processes going on in the Homo-system of the human body (fig. 6).On the strength of the hierarchical organization of the organism, any part of the body would form a cluster

of similar structures related by the commonness of functions and the oneness of their origination. With the correspondence system of its own, a body part would form a constituent part of a larger bodily structure, which is the seat of a larger correspondence system. The said structure is, in turn, broken down into integral individual parts having the correspondence systems of their own — but of a lesser scale. Accordingly, the Homo-system of correspondences will be noted for superposition of correspondence systems of different levels (fig. 7).

Another characteristic of the Homo-system structure will be evident in the fact that each individual structure of the body can boast not a single, but a great number of projections from the body or its part being represented. In relation to the three major axes, these are the vertical type (upper-lower), sagittal type (front-back), and frontal type (left-right) correspondence systems along with a number of intermediate systems. Incidentally, they are best presented in those body parts which are rounded in shape, or in what is described as the round correspondence systems (fig. 8).

The same phenomenon is responsible for a great number of the correspondences to be found in the body or its organ which would correspond to the body or its organ proper (designated the internal corre-spondence systems). The existence of internal correspondences will represent those processes of active

Page 10: SuJok Therapy

Homo-correspondence that are always taking place between the areas, zones and points inside every in-dividual structure.

The human body is known to have eight reflecting axes (fig. 9). What we call the «axial» correspondence systems will be formed as a result of their influence. The «axial» systems are notable for the fact that the basis for correspondence will be formed by means of the relevant reflecting axes. The said basis would facil-itate and intensify the interaction, or correspondence, between internal organs and body parts even in those cases when the signs of similarity are but slightly pronounced.

From among the axial correspondence systems the symmetrical (left-right) correspondences share the most identical property together with the most similar structure between them; they are responsible for

Page 11: SuJok Therapy

providing a close communication between the paired organs and bodily symmetrical structures. Thus, avail-able to the left kidney is the correspondence to the right kidney, and the right-eye area has its correspond-

Page 12: SuJok Therapy

ence to the left eye. The left parietal bone has the right parietal bone projected to it (fig. 10).Commonly found in the body there are also the diagonal correspondence systems. To name but few is the

left foot correspondence to the right hand, the right kidney correspondence to the left lung, the left ovary correspondence to the right kidney, the left mammary gland correspondence to the right ovary, and so on.

Apart from the symmetrical and diagonal correspondence systems, the bodily Homo-system can also boast the front-back, upper-lower, in-out and other types of axial correspondences. So we can see from the above that the activities performed by the reflecting axes would appreciably add to the number of cor-respondence systems in the body, thereby providing the basis for the wholesome and stable way of life.

Page 13: SuJok Therapy

Along with the individual correspondence systems in which the whole body or its organ view would be found on an integral anatomical organization — the so-called united correspondence related to one half of the body or one half of a body part — whereas the other paired formation would be corresponding to another half of the body or its part. The united correspondences can also be categorized as the vertical type (upper-lower), sagittal type (front-back), frontal type (left-right), etc. (fig. 11, 12).

Thus we can see that the human body is notable for the concurrent presence of a great number of en-ergetically interconnected correspondence systems. In the long run, any point of the body would correspond to any other point in it. And this is how the existence

of the body as a self-acting single entity of integral nature is secured and its health is maintained.But how the knowledge concerning the essence of the cited functional system could be applied in clinical

practice? And what are the guiding principles in trying to localize the most effective treatment points of the

Page 14: SuJok Therapy

greatest potential Homo-correspondence with a diseased area?Here the aid of paramount importance — which is most helpful in an effort to choose the adequate

correspondence system and the relevant treatment points — will be a measure of similarity. The more pronounced is the similarity, the stronger is the Homo-connection and the more amenable appears an affected area to treatment underway. As a matter of fact, the said similarity could be expressed in terms of the identity of form and structure (hand correspondence to body, foot correspondence to kidney, ear correspondence to stomach, etc.), in terms of the commonness in functions (treatment of the lungs using the nose correspondence systems, of the intestines using the oral cavity correspondences, etc.). The above similarity could also be expressed in the Homo-disposition (the brain is likely to undergo efficient treatment through the ear correspondence systems, the heart and lungs may be provided treatment using the chest correspondences, the arm could be healed through the hand correspondence system, and so on). At the same time, the lesion area and that of the treatment application can bear similarity in terms ofspecific nature of the response (for example, in case of Coldness disease in the heart when the patient's hands are cold the therapy of choice would be one involving the hand correspondence to heart; (the sen-sation of heat in the head is associated with the feet toes hyperemia — the way of managing the condition will be the stimulation of correspondence points to be found on the toes, etc.A further aid in establishing the effectiveness of a correspondence system will be the area occupied, lo-calization with respect to the body center, and the degree of functional activity of the body part which is the seat of the correspondence. Since the permanent cure of a patient is supposed to alter his status, and given that all the relevant alterations will be influenced by Hetero, the more preferable for treatment are correspondence systems of those body parts where the presence of Hetero-force would be most clearly manifest. These correspondences are in fact small in size, and notable for distal or superficial location to be found on the functionally active and protruding parts of the body. There is the compelling evidence to point out that the smaller correspondences are faster and more efficient to deal with disease than the big-

wig. 13. The diagram characterizing the body correspondence systems (the farther from the center of the body, the more manifest the presence of the Hetero-force which is the fastest and most influential force to generate changes leading to health restoration)

Page 15: SuJok Therapy

ger correspondence systems — localized deep inside, proximally to the center of the body and at those its parts which are far less active in their potentialities This is largely associated with the fact that the parts distal from the center of the body will be noted for Hetero-characteristics, whereas those close to the body center will demonstrate Homo-characteristics (fig. 13).

Indeed, with the hands, feet and their digits being notable for the most vividly manifest similarity to the human body in as far as their anatomical organization is concerned, notable for a higher degree, of functional activity and smaller size, and also for their distal and superficial disposition — in theory their correspondence systems really do appear to be one of the most efficient in the Homo-system of the body. The high efficacy of the hands, feet and digits correspondence system have been amply confirmed following their practical application (fig. 14, 15).

The correspondence system theory came in as a result of an effort to search for something integral and

Page 16: SuJok Therapy

fundamental showing itself in a living organism as an essential part of all being. Accordingly, a penetrating, persistent and systematic study of this theory is likely to become the most potent way to improve the outlook for patients suffering from a wide range of diseases and disorders.

When the Homo-system becomes intimately involved in our medical practice — this would appear as one of the ways to follow the laws of nature our efforts will be rewarded by nature's assistance in our ability to provide the more effective treatment. <^

EIGHT-ORIGINS THEORY (1)- FUNDAMENTAL ORDER OF NATURE -

Prof. Park, Jae Woo, (Seoul, Korea)

The comprehension of uniform, fundamental laws that lie at the heart of the mystery of our existence has appropriately led to the empirical facts pooled being adequately systematized. What is more, this com-prehension does emerge as the largest contributor to the more rapid accumulation of fresher knowledge.

At this distance of time, the humankind has succeeded in accumulating a wealth of newer knowledge — the huge body of factual data, the sound judgement of which solely in terms of specific philosophy and theories including the Yin-Yang law and the Five-Elements theory would prohibit certain aspects of the information obtained from being explicitly absorbed. This, as in the case of the dim and distant past, has inspired the drive and determination to ponder again over the most fundamental, primary laws of nature. The relevant efforts have in the long run proved efficient so as to provide the rationale for the existence of the Homo-Hete-ro law and to make the Eight-Origins theory a reality.

In fact, it is the availability in nature and the coexistence of two forces — Homo and Hetero — that are responsible for the phenomena of similarities and differences with which the real world is permeated.

Homo-force is trying to arrest any change and to keep original form. As a result, its goal is to simplify things elsewhere and everywhere, and make them uniform; this force tends to maintain everything same and in orderly stability. Conversely, Hetero-force seeks to produce diversity in everything, to make things self-contained, highly developed and sophisticated. The Hetero-force goal is to bring change to everything in its search for the newness.

Where the Hetero-force appears to be predominant, the objects and phenomena (or events) will undergo intense changes, get multiplied, and new units of existence will emerge. With the Homo-force prevailing, the processes that promote the forward development of things are slowed down, which con-tributes to their changelessness in the form and content, to keeping them stable.

Immutability is one of the main characteristics of Homo-force. This characteristic would bring about three major phenomena, including the slow-down, circulation (spin and repetition) and identity (similarity).

Page 18: SuJok Therapy

First of all, because Homo-force will tend to resist any change, the changing speed initiated by Hetero-force is bound to be slowed down owing to the effects generated by Homo-force.

Secondly, the Homo-force seeks to preserve everything in its original form, therefore any change caused by Hetero-force would return to the original point, eventually coming full circle, and Hetero-force gets it moving (change) again. This is the way the mechanism of circulation and repetition would operate.

Finally, the Hetero-force would contribute to an ever-increasing number of objects and phenomena in

its drive to bring on the multiple variability and differences. In this hetero world the Homo-force will fail to entirely stop the multiple changes going on. Instead, the Homo-force would rather try to enforce the identity to each multiplied number and bring about less changeable effectiveness (such as cell division). In this way, identity and similarity phenomena would be occurring which will contribute to the establishment of the Homo-system of the Universe.

The processes of an ever-lasting movement, evolution and formation of new phenomena will be set to motion through the combined functioning of Homo-and Hetero-forces.

In the course of progressive evolution any hetero phenomenon has as its origin its starting Homo-point. An embryo would develop from a single cell, a plant — from its seed, a leaf — from the single point in the space.

Page 19: SuJok Therapy

The original Homo of the existing world might be assumed to mean the absolute Homo (null state), in which the time, space, or any other entity are non-existent whatsoever.

Underlying each branch of the evolutionary tree will be the original ancestral Homo-forms. Once a new Hetero-phenomenon has come to be, it will immediately become a new starting Homo-point with the inherent Homo-property for the phenomena to come (fig. 1). Furthermore, the regular patterns manifest in the ancestral form (original Homo) will be transmitted and retained through the action of Homo-force in all the successive generations of the daughter — or branch — phenomena. It should be pointed out that the earlier the original Homo makes itself felt in the process of evolution, the greater is the number of the objects and phenomena expected to follow its regular patterns. Considering the atom that predates appearance of the cell, it can be seen that the atomic structure is characteristic of both the animated and inanimate nature, whereas the cellular structure would be only found in the living organisms. This is indicative of the fact that the comprehension of the fundamental laws embodied into any existing object or phenomenon calls for the studying of the characteristics and regular patterns of the Hetero-entity which is the first to come from the absolute Homo.

Given that mathematics has the capacity for simulating the phenomena, the image of the primary entity will be most conveniently constructed in the geometrical terms. Now let us have a good look at the primordial form of being and its inherent regular patterns.

Basically, the primary and tangible Hetero coming from the absolute Homo will be found under an extreme influence of Homo-force. Therefore the primordial form is bound to possess the clearly pronounced Homo-characteristics, which are: the invariable stability working its way into the symmetry of form; the simplicity of structure (while the complex ity and diversity are the indicators of Hetero); and the equation, sameness of the structural elements. Moreover, the primordial form is supposed to represent a three-dimensional figure, in as much as the three-dimensional space is an integral part of our being.

The said forms occur naturally as crystals or viruses; in geometry they are known as regular and semiregular solids, and were given a thorough study by Theaetetus, Plato, Euclid and Pappus.

The influence exerted by Homo-force is most vividly evidenced in Plato's regular polyhedrons or solids. These regular solids are noted for equal angles and are bounded by a single-type regular polygons (with all their sides equal and all their angles equal). Incidentally, the semiregular polyhedrons or Archimedean solids will be distinct from the regular ones by the fact that they — though bounded by regular polygons — are notable for the latter being of several types.

The interesting thing is that Euclid's «Elements» were written to begin with the description of how the con-struction of regular triangle can be carried out, ending in the studies of five regular polyhedral solids and the demonstration that there are but five regular polyhedrons. These are: the tetrahedron, with four triangles as faces; the hexahedron, with six quadrangular faces; the octahedron, with eight triangular faces; the dodecahedron, with twelve pentagonal faces; and the icosahe-dron, with twenty triangular faces (fig. 2).

A regular polygon of the simplest type is the equilateral triangle. In this context, one of the three Plato's solids noted for triangular faces — the tetrahedron, octahedron or icosahedron — could be approached as the primordial form.

However, even the tetrahedron — the simplest type of geometrical structure from among Plato's solids — will beyond doubt fail to meet the condition of being symmetrical in form about any sectional plane passing through its center, and will loose the perfect Homo-status as the origin for further developmental potentiality. Meanwhile, the number of the icosahe-dron's faces would run into twenty, which is too many for a fundamental structure. Thus we are led to conclude that out of the five regular polyhedrons available it is the octahedron that can boast the more clear-cut Homo-characteristics.

This does mean that the first thing to come from the infinite and invariable Homo (the ultimate) is the octahedron which, viewed in its geometrical aspect, has eight faces oriented to different sides. These faces

Page 20: SuJok Therapy

Fig. 3. Eight Tetrahedrons in Octahedron that symbolize Eight Origins

each represent one of the tetrahedrons forming the octahedron. A tetrahedron has three exposed angles and one hidden angle. It is these eight tetrahedrons in the octahedron that have come to symbolize Eight Origins — the basis of all creation (fig. 3).

From this point of view, the tetrahedrons are the basic units of Eight Origins and will be integrated into one unified form of the octahedron.

In the three-dimensional development process of first existence, the primary thing coming to be from the one point is the vertical line only to develop into the frontal line, thus creating two-dimensional plane.

Eg. 4. Appearance of Octahedron in the process of three-dimensional development to the First existence

Page 22: SuJok Therapy

This is finally followed by the sagittal line giving rise to the three-dimensional existence with practical vol-ume of space (fig. 4).

These three-dimensional axes will produce the primary geometrically structured form — which is octa-hedron in this hetero world around us. At first the center point — Neutro — is developing to form two angles, one at the top and another at the bottom, representing two polarities. Then four more angles would emerge, which are designated left, right, front and back. In fact, the six angles of the octahedron are indicative of the existence of pre-origins. Subsequently, one center-point of the octahedron and its six an-gles will form eight tetrahedrons which are tantamount to Eight Origins. In this way six pre-origins will trigger the formation of Eight Origins.

This means that the octahedron consists of eight tetrahedrons which are the simplest polyhedrons with minimum angles and faces.

As pointed out above, each tetrahedron has one hidden angle which is unified at the center-point, and three exposed angles. From among four faces of the tetrahedron, three of them are also exposed, with one face hidden at the bottom (the tetrahedron actually rests on it).

Because of these hidden factors, such as hidden angle or face in the tetrahedron, we can usually see but three factors in the objects and phenomena.

This regular pattern of tetrahedron is essential to each and every unit of existence, and has come to be known as the Three-Unit Order. It should be emphasized, though, that subsequent upon this Order there are virtually four factors to be taken into account, with the fourth being the hidden factor of crucial (controlling) importance.

For example, forming the atoms are three types of particles: protons, neutrons and electrons, and there is also an additional subatomic group such as neutrinos, etc. A proton consists of three quarks and gluon. Our arms and legs consist of three parts connected by

Page 23: SuJok Therapy

three joints, with the trunk standing as the origin of extremities and greatly influencing them.Thus there are four different characteristic factors inherently present in the Three-Unit Order, including Neutro, Hetero, Homo, and Neutrio (it is the spirit of Neutro by which the other three factors would come into being).In this context the Three-Unit Order will have its own fundamental base and will provide, along with Eight Origins, the one basic order to this hetero world we live in. This Three-Unit Order theory will be dealt with in another article later on.At the same time the cube (hexahedron) — another type of a regular polyhedron — consists of six faces and eight angles. As we connect the center-point of the eight triangles to be found in the octahedron, there still emerge the pure and simple cube. By providing connection of the center-points of six squares in a cube we would have the octahedron. In effect, there is a cube in the octahedron and an octahedron in the cube. In this sense, a cube with its eight angles must be another form of the fundamental geometrical structure implemented in all units of existence (fig. 5).In the realm of polyhedrons, only cube can be divided into smaller cubes of the same scaled-down proportional shape. As a result, a total of eight smaller cubes will be formed at any time. So the cube is likely to be infinitely divided in the similar way thereby representing the Eight-Origins hierarchy system. Con-sistent with this system, the tetrahedron in the octahedron can likewise undergo a successive division of the cited type (fig 6, 7).

Thus, the tetrahedron, octahedron and hexahedron will stand as the main simplest geometrical structures whose intrinsic qualities would contribute to maintaining the most fundamental orders and secrets of all existence.

Page 24: SuJok Therapy

This geometrical phenomenon involving the feasibility of sequential division of regular polyhedrons into eight would imply that there is the Eight-Origins framework in every dimensional unit of existence. This framework is preserved and handed down to the development stages to come as an unchangeable fundamental order, so that all objects and phenomena have to follow this order — the prerequisite of their continuous and stable existence. All existence units emerging subsequently from the primaryHetero entity that stands out in the Universe as the origin of all creation will become consistent with that Eight-Origins framework. Furthermore, the Eight Origins symbolized by the octahedron shape would thereafter constantly and firmly influence all units of existence to maintain that regular pattern to be followed by next generations.

And Hetero-force will have to follow this absolute intentional message from Homo-force, which con-tributes to its existence and finding itself meaningful in the hetero process of development.

In fact, the Eight Origins do indeed appear to be very close to the absolute Homo in their ability of demonstrating such characteristics as harmonious simplification and stability, consistency and invaria-bility. This is why all the objects and phenomena currently in existence would be either notable for their corporate identity in terms of their Eight Origins-based structure, or would develop forward to acquire it in the long run; these objects or phenomena might also come together and form the groups set to build up the eight-elements structures. This will enable them to become the constituent units of the Homo-system of our world. Otherwise, they would fail to have support from the ultimate Homo, which is bound to bring about their isolation, and eventually — their disappearance. Therefore, it is the quest for the structure of Eight Origins (in an effort to make provision for the soughtafter consistency and stability) which becomes the driving force for the development processes.

The case in point is how chemical elements spurred on by this very quest would make their bonds by combining into molecules. The chemical bonds would accordingly be responsible for filling the external or-bitals of the atoms with eight electrons. Where a single unit of existence is not potent enough to make an Eight-Origins formation, it is highly likely to find appropriate partners to set up the Eight-Origins framework in order to provide for their stable and continuous existence. Chemical elements are forced to bond in this manner to produce all sort of molecules (fig. 8).

It is noteworthy that representing the structure of the crystal lattice of the most invariable and the hardest Homo-crystal — the natural diamond of 10 in Mohs' scale — is the pure and simple octahedron. Moreover, according to the crystallography science the harder a crystal, the more its form tends to show the

Fig. 7. Eight-Origins Hierarchy system in the Octahedron divisions

Page 25: SuJok Therapy

geometrical pattern of octahedron. Given that contraction is one of the most typical Homo-characteristics — the more powerful Homo-force is applied in the material level, the harder substances are formed under the impact. In this context, the diamond would

Page 26: SuJok Therapy

Fig. 8. The mechanism whereby the water molecule is formed. Its stability is ensured by the Eight-Origins framework

Page 27: SuJok Therapy

contain the Homo-spirit of greatest purity and its shape is bound to be octahedron embodied by inspiration of the absolute Homo. The Homo-force predominance would thus reveal itself not only in the realm of Homo-characteristics, but in the Homo-form as well — which is actually the form of the octahedron.

Although the Eight Origins do stand as an integral system and always come in together, each of them will be noted for individual properties of its own. Our present notion of the characteristics specific to the Eight Origins can be inferred from their physical and metaphysical manifestations in the form of visible material objects and phenomena of the external world (fig. 9).

The basic characteristic of AH-Origin (and this is where the Hetero-properties are most clearly pro-nounced) lies in its capacity for producing diversity, causing separation and sophistication. This Origin serves as the basis for variability, and provides for the appearance of new units existence related to different dimensions of their organization. Each and every unit, in its turn, would represent a multidi -mensional system.

The characteristics of UM-Origin (notable for Homo-properties) are those of simplification, unification and immutability. The UM-Origin would reveal itself in the phenomena of integrity, similarity, and cyclic recurrence typical of all forms of existence. This Origin will be instrumental in having all existence united into a single system of oneness.

As to MA-Origin, it possesses the characteristics of moving and activation. As a matter of fact, transition of things from the latency and potentiality status into Hetero-status would call for a certain amount of

Eg. 9. Characteristics of Eight Origins

Page 28: SuJok Therapy

energy. The MA-Origin will stand for the source of all kinds of energy that come into life.LA-Origin has the ability for expansion and dispersion. It is responsible for the creation of the space

entity, which is the indispensable basis, the reservoir for both the manifest and non-manifest existence.HA-Origin — the closest in its characteristics to AH-Origin — has the ability to bring everything to

perfection of fullness and differentiation. In effect, it is the source of the time entity capable of changing all and sundry.

ARM-Origin has the capacity for manifestation and gathering and brings about the appearance of fac-tors. The notion of the factor in its narrower sense is the unit of individual information.

SUM-Origin will be noted for integration and sys-tematization. The processes of unification and the set-ting up of links are carried out under its influence. Underlying the orderly systems of the world around us is

the SUM-Origin. These systems will be responsible for bringing together and having all factors combined, thus providing the ground to create the order, law, principle, or formula— which is a harmonious whole. Furthermore, the said systems will make provisions for the information exchange.

Contraction and realization stand as characteristics of OM-Origin, nearing UM-Origin (Homo) in its potentialities. It is due to the OM-Origin that the process of unification is enhanced, which would eventually lead to the emergence of the material world.

Eg. 11. Progressive repetition of Eight Origins

Fig. 10. Circulations of Eight Origins

Page 29: SuJok Therapy

Eight Orders of the Eight-Origins

Essential to the Eight-Origins, there are eight reg-ular patterns which stand as the fundamental princi-ples set to maintain order in this hetero world.

The knowledge and adequate interpretation of these eight patterns would allow for the more systematical approach to the objects and phenomena of different dimension, and make it possible to classify them into their appropriate position according to their intrinsic qualities and specific properties.

1. The Circulation and Repetition Order.Eight origins have the capacity for circulating, and

are noted for their repeating patterns. There are two types of circulation (fig. 10, 11):

a) Spin or wave type. It is responsible for all typesof cyclical changes (e.g. spin, seasons, life cycle, ets).

b) Progress type (e.g. musical scale, range of colors,embryo, ets).

Eg. 12. Cross Axes of Eight Origins

Page 30: SuJok Therapy

2. The Axes Formation Order.All the Origins have their own pair of axes.Establishing an axis between origins means that they are united and would share similar Homo properties

(like a married couple). They would provide for the phenomena of polarity, capacity to form pairs and harmony of origins connected by a single axis.

There are three types of the axes, including cross type, vertical type and horizontal type.a) Cross type Axis (e.g. DNA molecule structure

and internal organs location) (fig. 12).b) The Vertical Type Axes. These would entrain

the arrangement of internal chakras in the body, rainbow colors, sounds in the musical scale.

Eg. 13. Horizontal Axes of Eight Origins

Table. 1. Functional status of Eight Origins

c) The Horizontal Type Axes (e.g. chemical elements to form a molecule) (fig. 13).

3. The Eight-Origins Functional Order.Each and every origin has its own functional role in the Eight-Origins framework.There are two functional groups of the Origins, namely: individual (or harmony) function group and

control (or extreme) function group.The Origins HA and OM can make part of the set of Origins noted for the harmonizing function

(table 1).Sometimes the control function origin factors are not easily detectable. The UM-Origin is deemed to be

Fig. 14. Interactions of Eight Origins

Page 31: SuJok Therapy
Page 32: SuJok Therapy

the most hidden and secret, and next is AH-Origin followed by HA-Origin.

4. The Eight-Origins Interaction Order.Each origin is interacting with the other, thus

contributing to a communication and integration of each Origin as one unit (fig. 14).

Eg. 15. Diagram of the Eight-Origins hierarchy system

Page 33: SuJok Therapy

5. The Hierarchy Corresponding Order.Eight-Origins would form a highly sophisticated

hierarchy system. Each and every origin would correspond to the higher dimensional pre-origins and to the subsequent lower dimensional post-origins. They are freely communicating with each other in this Eight-Origins hierarchy system.

Eight-Origins are noted for their messenger role, since they are set to deliver the messages of pre-origins and absolute Homo for realization of its master-plan, and vice versa (fig. 15).

6. The Constitution Formation Order.Another principal contributor to multiplicity of the existing world will be the capacity of the Origins to

form a constitution. The same would account for the ability of the seemingly disparate objects to become united, and for the fact that any phenomenon or object — including human being — would possess their own constitution.

Eight origins are being divided into two groups in keeping with the constitution formation order. There

Eg. 16. Constitution Axes of Eight-Origins

Page 34: SuJok Therapy

are specific formulas set to get the Origins united into groups according to the Homo-Hetero law. There are eight kinds of standard axis constitutions (fig. 16, 17).

7. The Triple System Order.There are three major leading forces in the Eight-Origins, namely: Hetero-force, Homo-force and

Neutro-force.The role played by each of the Origins, as well as specific nature of the Eight Origins' regular patterns

would depend on which type of force is being predominant.Where only two forces — Homo and Hetero — are found to be dominating, the dual system order would

emerge.The triple (or dual) system orders would work their way into the circulation, direction and loca tion,

the function, polarity and axes, the development, interaction and constitution.

8. The Management order.Each and every Origin is involved in activating and supporting the cited orders or regular patterns to

make sure that they are efficiently implemented in the hetero world.Unfortunately, what still remains to be adequately interpreted and thoroughly studied is the relationships

between different orders, the ways they are to be implemented, the best priorities established with regard to the regular orders, and the general mechanism of management functions.

The Trigrams theory, which describes the phe-nomenological reality with eight symbols, would also point out to the presence of eight sources of existence.

According to the Book of Changes (I-Ching), each of the Trigrams would have specific properties that are symbolically represented in its sign. Based on the cited characteristics, the eight trigrams can be put into cor-respondence with the Eight Origins (fig. 18).Each Origin, in its turn, would represent an eight-element system. In this way we can tell about 64 branch Origins, each of them consisting of subbranch Origins, and so on (fig. 19). On the other hand, the eight different paired combinations of the eight trigrams are known to form 64 hexagrams. The developmental sequence of Eight Origins would also generate 64 branch Origins which could be helpful in describing the basic architecture of the whole world (fig. 15).The diamond eight-element structure, as sustained and preserved by the Homo-force, would form the basis of the orderly arranged unity of multidimensional units of existence. Indeed, whatever existing phenomenon of different nature we choose to consider, we are sure to find the hierarchical multidimensional eight-element system embodied in it.The Chinese Five Elements have symbolized Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water, epitomized in the Origins MA, LA, ARM, SUM and OM, respectively. All of them, however, would exist in the air environ-ment. In this eight-elements system the air represents the sixth element and is to be referred to the category

Page 35: SuJok Therapy

of the HA-Origin. Available to the cosmic space is also the ether, which is even more difficult to cognize (it is categorized as the seventh AH-Origin). Where there can be found nothing at all, the issue of vacuum would arise, epitomizing the eighth UM-Origin. An especially hard problem to resolve is the exposure of the UM-element, because it has to do with the original point of development, nearing the non-existence. Characteristic of it is the greatest degree of contraction, non-manifestation, latency and isolation. Not infrequently, the UM-element will fail to be manifest

in the physical systems, or it is likely to be expressed somewhere else in some unusual or hidden form; its presence could sometimes only be established theoretically on the strength of its properties (such as in the case of a black hole).

In the event the manifestations of the Origin UM are becoming comprehensible, and the presence of the eight-elements structure is unveiled, this means that the phenomenon under consideration could be interpreted fairly adequately. As a result, we are likely to understand the individual features of the phenom-enon being examined, to find out the stage of its development and visualize the way it is expected to undergo changes in the future.

Much time has elapsed since the chemical scientists succeeded in virtually substantiating the eight-elements architecture of the material world. This is evidenced by the fact that the atomic properties of chemical elements have been given a thorough study, which made it possible to have them systematized. There can be no more than eight electrons found in the external orbital of the atoms. It is this outermost shell structure of the atom which will govern the availability of precisely eight groups of chemical elements in the periodic system of Mendeleev. The Periodic Table of chemical elements would form one linking part of the Eight-Origins hierarchy system and would be classified in the Eight-Origins Table pertaining to the World of Nature (table 2).

The Eight-Origins system as the Homo-factor of origin is also most vividly expressed in the structural pattern of the DNA molecule — the basic genetic material carrier. There are eight structural elements in the molecule, which are: four nitrogen bases, deoxyribose residues, phosphate groups, the matrix and daughter chains of the DNA. The phosphate, as the lightest in weight, will correspond to the Origin HA, while the deoxyribose — to the Origin OM. The pyrimidines in the form of thymine and cytosine would represent the manifestations of the Origins MA and LA, whereas the purines — adenine and guanine — would represent those of the Origins AM and SUM, respectively. As with the Origins AH and UM, which are responsible for the supreme control functions in the DNA molecule, these would work their way into the structural elements of another dimension, namely: the Origin UM will be related to the DNA matrix chain, while the Origin AH — to its daughter chain that has been synthesized in the course of replication (fig. 20, table 2).

Given that the Eight-Origins structure is to be found in all the things around us, the Eight-Origins theory may well enjoy wide application for medical purposes.

On the strength of the Eight-Origins theory it has become possible to put together the concepts of the

Page 36: SuJok Therapy

Fig. 20. Eight-elements structure of the DNA molecules

remote past concerning the energy system of the human body as an integral system of chakras and merid-ians. Furthermore, drawing on the diamond pattern of the Eight Origins, we managed to discover the body Core meridians notable for their Homo-properties, as well as the body Border meridians with their clear-cut Hetero-properties. Both the types of the meridians would make up the Metaphysical Diamond system of the body, whose existence has been clearly borne out in practical terms. The octahedron is considered to be the first geometrical structure to emerge in this hetero world. Its Homo-characteristics — strongly manifest due to this polyhedron standing as the full-fed and true source — would therefore result in all the subsequent units of existence becoming notable for their metaphysical Diamond system. The latter will also be present in the human body.

Once a great variety of the phenomena and their elements under study have been adequately categorized with regard to the Eight-Origins theory, the missing links in the chain of the process of cognition have been brought to light. Besides, the most appropriate conditions for establishing connective entities or exerting the intended therapeutic effect have become a reality.

The objects and phenomena that fall into the category of a single Origin would possess the common homo-

Page 37: SuJok Therapy
Page 38: SuJok Therapy

factors and correspond with each other. It is the presence of the common homo-factors which makes them highly responsive in their interactions and capable of co-existing with the least energy losses.

It has been recognized that in the human body its parts, functional systems, organs, cells, mole-cules and atoms related to the category of one and the same Origin would «speak the same language* — which is why they would enjoy especially strong correlation's between themselves and with respect to similar elements of the existing world as well (table 3).

All the systems of the human body organs can boast the eight-elements structure, therefore their functional activity and their diseased condition would be directly dependent upon the impact generated by the Origins concerned (fig. 21, 22, 23).

Our present-day coherent understanding of the Eight Origins principle has afforded a new insight

Page 39: SuJok Therapy

into the human organism. Indeed, it helped to disclose the mechanisms of deep-seated correspondence existing between all the body's elements, and to provide the opportunity for conducting a systematized search for the most efficient and selective therapeutic modalities. The Eight-Origins theory may well serve as the basis for the application of treatment with herbs, homeopathy, special food stuffs for diet, physical therapy, and all other therapies and medical techniques to be found in the Orient and in the West.

Besides, standing out as the ultimate law, the Eight-Origins theory may well find its succesful application in a variety of our human knowledge systems. By incorporating some of its concepts, much better inter-pretations could be given to the existing phenomena or events. And hopefully it is this theory that might one day provide us with the decisive clue in our quest for the true meaning of existence. ^

NEW APPROACH TO TREATMENT AND DIAGNOSIS FOLLOWING THE 6KI PRINCIPLE

taken from lectures delivered by Prof. Park Jae Woo at the Moscow-based Su Jok Academy in November 1998, and in Mumbai, India, in January 1999

The earlier approaches to the art of diagnosis and treatment techniques as seen in the 6Ki Theory were worked out in terms of the hierarchic structure of the bodily energy system.

In order to produce the intended effect during a disease that involves Coldness (in case, for example, of the blind gut cancer), a number of transitions should be made, such as from the individual AH-Dryness, through the branch Wind, and only afterwards to the subbranch Coldness. In the course of the transitions, the Homo-correspondence with the Coldness energy is likely to be somewhat weakened.

Therefore, there is another, or what has become known as the second, approach to the therapy which enables the doctor to maximize his determination and attention in an effort to affect the energy whose pre-dominance has triggered the diseased condition.

Consider, for instance, dystonia or dyskinesia that stand as a Wind-related disease irrespective of its localization. Given the energy-producing characteristics of Wind, though, the dystony is likely to manifest itself in any area of the human system. Where Wind is noted for Humidity characteristics — its excess is likely to manifest itself in the stomach. If Wind possesses the properties of Heat — this could be a contributory factor to vegetovascular dystonia, etc.

As a matter of fact, any inflammatory processes would be associated with the Heat energy. Wherever the body is found in excess of Heat with Humidity characteristics, the inflammation could work its way into the pancreas or the stomach; if Heat has some Dryness properties, a disease is likely to develop in the lungs or the large intestine.

Now let us illustrate how these conceptions can be applied in medical practice. If we choose to follow the first approach cited above, in case of hepatitis we should try and sedate Heat by manipulating the UM-Wind meridian or chakra (fig. 1).

Page 45: SuJok Therapy

However, all the Heat-related diseases are known to be associated with the impaired energy flows in the meridians and chakras of Heat. Therefore, given that Heat noted for Wind characteristics would have its damaging effect on an Yin-organ — the Liver, the necessary treatment is to be provided via the UM-Heat meridian (chakra).

Treatment involving the byol-meridians dimension should be performed thus. The first needle, by applying sedation technique, will be inserted in the Heat point of the heart byol-meridian. The second one placed in the heart byol-meridian will be inserted athwart at the Wind point (in case the liver has been afflicted). Then we go over to the UM-Wind byol-meridian to once again sedate Heat. Moreover, using the same byol-meridian we would provide tonification of the Dryness energy (based on the axes rule). The control points will be those corresponding to the disease's predominant energy and located in the King meridians or Sahasrara chakra. In the example under consideration the Heat energy will be sedated using the Conception byol-meridian.

When the technique of choice in dealing with hepatitis (disease caused by Heat) is the Second-type approach, it would call for five needles to be applied. It is noteworthy that three needles out of five are to be inserted using the sedation technique at the Heat points related to the heart, liver and conception me ridians. In this way a significant potential of the therapeutic effect on the dominant Heat energy is achieved (fig.2).

Consider the second type treatment to be provided for yet another Heat-associated disease, which is pneumonia. Since the thing under consideration is the lungs (Yin-organ), the treatment will be conduct-ed through the UM-Heat byol-meridian or byol-chakra. The first needle is inserted into the Heat point of the UM-Heat byol-meridian (byol-chakra) by sedation technique. The second — into the Dryness point (lungs) athwart, with the same byol-meridian being involved. Afterwards, sedation of Heat and tonifica-tion of Dryness is to be carried out in the UM-Dry-ness byol-meridian (byol-chakra). The last needle will be inserted, using sedation technique, into the Heat point located on the control byol-meridian (byol-chakra) (fig. 3).

An inflammation process occurring in any Yang-related organ will be controlled by the AH-Heat me-ridian or chakra. If Heat is noted for the Humidity-energy properties, an inflammation is likely to reveal itself in the stomach. Second type treatment of gastritis will be provided in this case (fig. 4).

Duodenal ulcer can be categorized as the disease associated with Dryness notable for the Heat-energy

properties (the duodenum will be controlled by the AH-Heat energy). The treatment blueprint may be pre-pared based on the subordination function (fig.5).

The large intestine cancer can be regarded as the disease of Coldness in combination with the Dryness-energy characteristics (the large intestine is afflicted). This disease manifests itself in a Yang-organ. The treatment blueprint involving byol-me-ridians is prepared based on the countersubordina-tion law (fig. 6).

Varicosis will be associated with the disease of Humidity marked by Heat characteristics (veins disorder), and it is revealed in an Yin-organ. The byol-

meridians-oriented blueprint of treatment will be prepared in accordance with the axes theory (fig. 7).As to pernicious vomiting, it could be treated as the disease of Wind noted for Humidity phenomena

(stomach is affected). It will develop in an Yang-organ. The treatment blueprint involving byol-chakras will be made up based on the countersubordination law (fig. 8).

Type 2 treatment could be provided, apart from the branch level, at any other one, including sub-

Following the regional diagnosis, the lower lobe of the right-lung will come under the Coldness category. Type 2 treatment involving byol-meridians at the substructure level, in line with the axes theory, looks like this (fig. 9).

In conclusion it can be stated that the second type of approach towards the diagnosis and treatments described in this paper does have a capacity for producing most efficiently the intended effect on a pathology-generating energy found in excess, and for concentrating on it alone the doctor's attention and intention. Given that the diagnosis was made quite adequately, this particular approach will add to the value provided by the metaphysical treatment. Besides, it is rapid and highly effective in its action.

Once the knowledge of the method under consideration has been attained and appropriately mastered, the potentiality of practical devices possessed by Su Jok acupuncture experts will be by far enriched and extended, ^j>
