If the CANON OF SUPREME MYSTERY maps the I CHING hexagrams to the tetra
then the cosmology ought to be as conveyed below...
If it maps, then it maps.
If it maps for you, then it maps for you.
One may produce a map showing various features mapping
a territory and notice how the map is not the territory.
Some interpretations of Tao Chia may suggest how the map
is never the territory, words are unable to convey Tao.
Be that as it may, texts were written and some readers
might get a sense of the Zone and do-without-doing, wei-wu-wei.
Cook Ting, for example, cared the most for what he called Tao.
Hunchy Bugcatcher knew he had Tao, a Method, a Way.
https://terebess.hu/english/chuangtzu2.html#19
<< begin quote from above >>
When Confucius was on his way to Ch'u, he passed through a forest
where he saw a hunchback catching cicadas with a sticky pole as easily
as though he were grabbing them with his hand.
Confucius said, "What skill you have! Is there a special way to this?"
"I have a way," said the hunchback. "For the first five or six months
I practice balancing two balls on top of each other on the end of the
pole and, if they don't fall off, I know I will lose very few cicadas.
Then I balance three balls and, if they don't fall off, I know I'll
lose only one cicada in ten. Then I balance five balls and, if they
don't fall off, I know it will be as easy as grabbing them with my
hand. I hold my body like a stiff tree trunk and use my arm like an
old dry limb. No matter how huge heaven and earth, or how numerous
the ten thousand things, I'm aware of nothing but cicada wings. Not
wavering, not tipping, not letting any of the other ten thousand
things take the place of those cicada wings -
how can I help but succeed?"

Wuji can be quite the unlimited limitless infinite concept.

You are rambling
It's w'hats eye dew!
Daily practice of a dao
might make for an art form
as well as perfect many forms.
Having faith in one's practice,
knowing it was perfected,
could be to be near Ting.
Ting, as you may recall, carved the bull.
Thousands of oxen and his vorpal blade
stayed ever-sharp after a few years.
Ting didn't practice per se, as you may recall,
unlike a student who practiced sitting and forgetting
after which he'd forgotten everything and was
one with the Great Thoroughfare, aka Dao.
Techniques vary.
Woodcarver Ch'ing, Hunch Bugcatcher,
mention has not been made of the Wheelwright
nor of the swimmer who took a dive of Lu Liang Falls.
Each of their Tao may be viewed as different.
The swimmer said he didn't have Tao, he simply
grew up around water and followed the current.
Up above, in the Subject line it suggests
lessons on faith with daily pracitce of the dao.
A reader may wonder, what dao?
Does a follower of Tao need faith?
Faith might be more of a Confucian way.
How does some body, some individual, practice a Way
or, practice, the Way, assuming there is one and
only one and not various or many Ways?

So, Jane English gave you permission.
Looks as if you've got the entire version she used

After Gia-fu shed his skin

Your daily practice on faith
appears to be making a statement

to an increase in your unity apperception.

To answer the question: yes.

Its like a compass by which one might chart a course.
To stay on course, following Tao, for me
is to simply go with the flow naturally.
Be as liquid water. No need to check to see
if a stream of thought enters a notion.
To be in the present as the present unfolds
is a wonderful gift floating my Way.
Other paradigms, such an Abraham's God view,
with reality being a ceramic creation of a Creator,
or a Hindu Brahman/Atman, dramatic view, with a Self
who sees out of all eyes, a more pantheism or pan-

<https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/xunzi/>
<< Xunzi (third century BCE) was a Confucian philosopher, sometimes
reckoned as the third of the three great classical Confucians (after Confucius and Mencius).
...
Famously, Mencius argued that the xing of human beings is good (shan
善), by which he meant that all human beings have the capacity to become good, even though, in reality, not all people are good, because they
fail to exert themselves sufficiently—or even take the obligation seriously.
...
In Xunzi, “Human Nature is Evil” is framed as an argument with Mencius (who was probably long dead), and takes the view that the xing of human beings is the very opposite of shan, namely e. The basic meaning of e is close to “detestable” (as a transitive verb, wu 惡 means “to hate”) ... >>"

THE JADE EMPEROR (Chinese: 玉皇; pinyin: Yù Huáng or 玉帝, Yù Dì) in Chinese culture, traditional religions and myth is one of the
representations of the first god (太帝 tài dì). In Daoist theology he is the assistant of Yuanshi Tianzun, who is one of the Three Pure Ones, the three primordial {ie. HEBREW: ALEPH - U(SHIN) - MEM / #451 - Y-M-T-A} emanations of the TAO.
ALEPH: Yuanshi Tianzun (Chinese: 元始天尊; pinyin: Yuánshǐ Tiānzūn, "Lord of Primordial Beginning") is also known as the "Jade Pure One" (Chinese: 玉清; pinyin: Yùqīng) or "Honoured Lord of the Origin".
SHIN (JESUS OF NAZARETH): Lingbao Tianzun (靈寶天尊, "Lord of the Numinous Treasure") is also known as the "Supreme Pure One" (Chinese: 上 清; pinyin: Shàngqīng) or "The Universally Honoured One of Divinities
and Treasures".
MEM: Daode Tianzun (道德天尊, "Lord of the Way and its Virtue" or "Honoured Lord of the Tao and the Virtue"), also known as the "Grand
Pure One" (Chinese: 太清; pinyin: Tàiqīng) or the "Highest Elder Lord" (太上老君, Taishang Laojun).
It is believed that Daode Tianzun manifested himself in the form of Lao
Tzu. Daode Tianzun is also the treasurer of spirits, known as the Lord
of Man who is the founder of Taoism.
“THE HOUR IS COMING, AND IS NOW HERE, WHEN THE TRUE WORSHIPERS WILL
WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH, FOR THE FATHER IS SEEKING SUCH
PEOPLE TO WORSHIP HIM. GOD IS SPIRIT, AND THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM MUST
WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH.” [John 4:23–24]
The Jade Emperor is known by many names, including Heavenly Grandfather (天公, Tiān Gōng), which originally meant "Heavenly Duke", which is used by commoners; the Jade Lord; the Highest Emperor; Great Emperor of Jade (玉皇上帝, Yu Huang Shangdi or 玉 皇大帝, Yu Huang Dadi)."
