HANGUL, The Cosmic Philosophy · p.143 / 428
The five initial sound groups react to this influence by
becoming either clear or turbid in sound. In this way,
Heaven (medial sounds) sets the principle, while Earth
(initial sounds) realizes that principle to complete the sound.
The initial sound thus formed can also serve again as a final
sound. Korean syllables begin with an initial sound and end
in response, creating a cyclical structure in which the initial
sound becomes the final sound. This mirrors the natural law
where all things emerge from Earth and return to Earth.
Cosmic principles: Hattangsa, BalkIEo, Daum
In Hangul, each syllable is formed by the harmonious
combination of initial consonants, medial vowels, and final
consonants. This structure symbolizes the interplay of
movement and stillness, as well as the continuous
transformation of BalkIEo(Balkeum Ieum Eodum, Yin-
Yang).
Movement represents the role of Hanul 하늘(Heaven), while
stillness represents the role of Ttang 땅(Earth). The
connection and balance between movement and stillness is
the role of Saram 사람(Human). Hattangs 하땅사 stands for
Hanul(Heaven), Ttang (Earth), and Saram(Human). Heaven
