“Then, are such truths, awesome powers, and methods of practice contained in the shape of the Il-Won-Sang diagram itself?”
The Founding Master replied,

In the same way, a practitioner must discover the true Il-Won through the model of Il-Won-Sang, guard Il-Won’s true nature and practice Il-Won’s perfect mind. Then, the truth of Il-Won-Sang and our lives will mesh perfectly.”
