Cycle of BalkIEo

    Eo (Eodum, Yin)
    transforms into Balk (Balkeum, Yang),
    and Balk returns to Eo.

    This follows the natural principle
    where movement and stillness
    serve as each other’s foundation,
    circulating in harmony.

    The initial sound
    signifies the beginning of a new sound,
    reflecting movement
    that originates from Heaven’s creative force.

    The final sound
    corresponds to Earth,
    where Eo manifests as stillness,
    marking the point
    where the sound settles and comes to a stop.

    A syllable is completed
    through the role of the medial sound,
    just as Human acts as a mediator,
    facilitating harmony
