Descending path

A descending melody from leadership to wisdom — the path from external to internal. Seven leads to soul depths, six teaches compassion, one gives will to change. Root five liberates from illusions.

七起六流一元 (qī qǐ liù liú yī yuán) — ascent through smooth flow to unity. Descending stream as meditation: from contemplation (七, qī) to smooth movement (六, liù) and pure beginning (一, yī). The sage's path.
