Did the Immortal Jesus Really Die on the Cross? Book Review
This is the book cover of a different book by author Michael Morgan, called the Emerald Covenant. I’m posting it because fits well with Cracking Open Cosmic Egg theme. Author told me he changed this cover because it was too scary for a lot of people….:) Book Review by Michael Winn Pontius Pilate and his Gospel of Jesus: A Tale of the Christ by Michael E. Morgan. 249 pages. Available on Amazon. I met Michael Morgan 34 years ago at Mantak Chia’s first Greater Kan & Li retreat in 1983. He made his living as a scientist, was a serious practitioner of several esoteric paths, who by accident later became the best full trance channel I’ve ever met. His Healing Tao training may have helped open him up to receive teachings from a Western Immortal from the time of Atlantis, 50,000 years ago. I interviewed this Immortal over a 6 year period and plan to publish that book of interviews after I publish my Primordial Tai Chi series (really!). I have drawings done for it by Juan Li. Michael shifted away from channelling and now uses his considerable psychic skill to read what is popularly known as the “akashic record”. This is the aspect of the Life Force that holds total memory of everything that has ever happened in any dimension of this Cosmos. Michael supplemented this with extensive historical research as well. Naturally, there are a variety of perspectives recorded in the Akasha, so Michael’s history also involves his subjective editing. But I consider his skill sufficiently good to move this Easter tale far beyond the realm of an “imagined” historical novel, and know that his Atlantean guide previously confirmed many of these details of the life of Jesus when asked. This story is about the last three years of Jesus’s life. It is told from the perspective of Pontius Pilate, the brutal Roman governor of Judea, who tracked Jesus closely as part of his job to maintain order amongst the rebellious Jewish population. Pilate employs Paul (formerly Saul of Tarsus) as a spy, who penetrates jesus’s inner circle and sends him reports. Pilate becomes intrigued by Jesus’s obvious powers, as a military man who respects any display of power. He meets with Jesus several times, and secretly becomes an admirer of his teachings. But historical forces – Roman law, an angry King Herod, and Jewish jealots who dislike Jesus’s breaking of their temple taboos – all combine to force Pilate to condemn Jesus to death by crucifiction. But Pilate plots to save Jesus’ life by partly faking the crucifiction. Jesus is given an Essene drug that induces a coma for three days when he is given a sip of vinegar while nailed to the cross. He is left for dead, but is later revived and taken away by Joseph of Arithemea. Pilate arranges for Jesus to be hidden in Egypt’s Luxor Temple, where he continues his ministry (mostly by astral projection) for another 40 years. The story is plenty gory; the dark forces at the time were very strong. All of Jesus’ disciples are portrayed as fairly spineless whimps who end up being brutally murdered by the Romans. Mary Magadalene, Jesus’ pregnant wife, is sent off to southern France. There both her children and her sister Martha are murdered by Roman agents; she much later dies, broken-hearted and alone. By curious twist only the brutal Pilate lives out to his natural old age, perhaps redeemed by his saving Jesus. So why did God allow Jesus to go through so much suffering, even if he did NOT in fact “die for our sins”? In this telling, God (an oversoul aspect of Source) overshadows Jesus for three years only, to demonstrate the potency of the Life Force when applied compassionately. Then God withdraws the empowerment, and leaves Jesus to fend for himself, in order to more deeply experience his own vulnerability and develop true compassion for those who suffer. It also allows for the expression of free will (as love) by Pilate and others involved in the drama. The church founded by Paul – confirmed in this telling as homosexual, phobic, and treacherously selfish – later becomes the Roman Catholic church, and has little to do with Jesus’ original ministry focused on divine love rather than martyrdom, death, and suffering. From my own investigation, I believe that Jesus spent much of his “missing” 18 years being trained in the alchemical arts by the Egyptian priesthood at Karnak, then the major center of learning. Karnak was unfortunaely corrupted by dark forces. Part of Jesus’ work was to challenge that darkness and attempt to prepare the energy body of planet earth for ascension. He failed, as the contraction of the dark side was too strong at the time. The era we modern people live in is witness to the liberation of the planet, due to the spiritual work of many on Earth in the 2000 years since Jesus’s vain effort. Christianity, like many religions, has had two millennia to become an accumulation of both light and dark human thought-forms in the astral mid-plane. Historians have documented that the Romans used Christianity to replace a hodgepodge of other cults of the time, most prominently Mithraism. In both religions the power underlying the Christ is the Solar Logos or Solar Deity at the heart of life in this solar system, and reflected in every human heart. Mithraism’s mythos also included a divine child and redeemer. I follow the Taoist alchemical path beause it removes all the dogma and confusing layers of mid-plane religious thought forms and myths, and goes directly to empower the adept’s human virtues with that of the natural deities of the sun, moon, earth, and stars. I accept that Jesus was a highly achieved Western immortal serving the whole as best he could in the difficult circumstances of his day. I have given a thumbnail sketch of Michael Morgan’s book, but suggest you read it to get his skillfully woven details and authentic feel for the dynamic events of that time. For those uncomfortable with the meaning implied by the term “God”, I suggest replacing it with the Taoist notion of the Original Oneness (Tai Yi). This a 3-in-1 Trinity that alchemically would be defined as Original Spirit, Original Breath, and Original Essence (yuan shen, qi, and jing).

The 8 Extra Vessels connect the inner and outer Qi (chi) field, and allow you to “dance” between
your inner and outer life. The Wudang Mountain version of the macro-cosmic orbit will also be taught as the
most powerful internal method I’ve found for integrating the 8 Extraordinary Vessels into a continuous flowing
circuit.
This Wudang Mountain version of the macro-orbit lays a foundation for opening chi flow between the 8 Original
Forces of Universe (I Ching trigram-tones). A powerful “8 Extraordinary Vessels” qigong form makes this practice
simple to remember. It heals deep psychic imbalances not reached by acupuncture. Many mysterious chronic illnesses
can be healed at this deep channel level, much faster than using acupuncture or herbs working on the 12 regular
meridians.

psychic abilities. These abilities are simply the result of having clear channels for communication between the

Sexual Energy as Taoist Alchemical Elixir
for Healing, Love-Making & Secret of Immortality
Sexual energy is the key driver of deep attraction between humans. Yet it’s paradoxically the cause of psychological confusion, disease, power struggle, and is mythically linked to the Fall of Humanity.
Michael Winn has spent four decades sorting out both the theory and practical methods needed to effectively apply sexual energy as the secret Taoist alchemical elixir.
It’s also called the Golden Elixir, the Luminous Pearl, and Pill of Immortality. Ancient Taoist texts claim it accelerates healing, deepens sexual love relations, increases longevity, and advances meditation. Don’t allow your potent sexuality to sit buried in your subconscious. Attend this talk by a pre-eminent western Tao adept and get a clear map of what is possible.
Sat April 29 10 am -5 pm New York Open Center 212 219-2527
Tao Cosmology & Essential Tools for Self-Cultivation:
Inner Smile and Red Dragon Micro-cosmic Orbit
Tao cosmology offers a clear map of how we came into a body, and where we can go from here. It’s the story of how Qi (chi) flows from Source into matter, then returns. Humans embody this Qi. We have a unique power to harmonize and accelerate this Eternal Cycle of Qi Flow. Having this clear map is essential. But its not enough to extract humans from the sea of suffering and confusion they are drowning in. We need methods that allow us to navigate our chosen cosmology map. Come learn two essential tools of Tao self-cultivation of Qi. One is Way of the Inner Smile – the most simple yet powerful meditation ever devised.
Learn how to smile “inside” our body-mind to unify our Qi, and connect us back to Source. This can dissolve physical pain, mental & emotional suffering, and harmonize our personality’s 12 vital organ spirits with soul. We’ll also learn to smile and embrace the “insides of what appears to be outside”. The second method is the Wudang Mountain Red Dragon Spinning Pearl Micro-cosmic Orbit. In 1982 Michael Winn wrote for Mantak Chia the first practical book on how to circulate the Orbit. He’s spent 36 years exploring many orbit methods. The lineage Wudang Method is only transmitted orally. Winn says it is 100x more effective and long-lasting than other methods, as it penetrates into the jing (substance) level of the body. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to receive this transmission.

Equinox ceremony doing Primordial Tai Chi at sunrise atop Silbury Hill in England, thought to be an ancient pyramid now buried in dirt. Things to consider when creating an Equinox Ceremony 1. CREATE A SACRED SPACE. Keep it simple. Find or create a sacred space where no one If you can face the rising sun, fabulous. Sunrise is a perfect mini-equinox moment that matches spring. Especially good with morning sun rising in the east, but sun any time adds powerful Qi to your ceremony. 2. FOCUS INTENT and CLEAR LANGUAGE. Get a clear intent as to the ONE thing that is most I focus the ceremony on calling in the Green Dragon to amplify and broadcast the intent of each participant in the ritual. Do this facing east with spontaneous qigong movements. 3. WHAT TO ASK FOR. Don’t feel guilty about asking to GROW material things if they truly Or grow a specific spiritual quality in your inner body-mind space, such 4. RITUALLY COMMUNICATE WITH SACRED DIRECTIONS. After you have established the clear intention, face EAST (direction of Spring, sun bringing new life). Do your movement ritual, which may involve facing and gathering energy from all the directions. If you don’t have a qigong or a short piece of a tai chi form, do spontaneous movement. After you finish, face east again. 4. RELEASE INTENTION TO COSMOS. Infuse a booster shot of yuan QI Your specific desire polarizes the Qi field. You then release your personal request to the larger cosmic Qi field. This field acts like a cosmic lubricant to broadcast your need. The field of Yuan Qi at Equinox will spontaneously attempt to balance your polarized desire. Nature now knows EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED. Because of the focus given by your ceremony, it now has an easy path with little resistance to deliver what you truly need. 5. BE PREPARED TO ACCEPT CHANGE. A lot of people forget about this part of I wish you a powerful ceremony and the power to digest what you invoke! Omega Super Qi Summit May 26 -29 (Fri-Mon)

Paris Daoism Conference May 17-20
Creativity and Diversity Nanterre, France, May 17-20, 2017 I will be teaching in Romania during this conference, but if you are nearby it should be worth your time. I have presented at many similar conferences. The focus is more academic than experiential, but qigong trainings will be available. It’s a chance to talk with top Taoist scholars in person. Continuing the tradition of international conferences on Daoist Studies, this year’s meeting is hosted by the University of Paris at Nanterre. It’s very low cost. Its theme is “Creativity and Diversity.” The focus is on the artistic and specific local expressions of Daoist worldview and practice, both in history and today. Panels and presentations—in English, Chinese, or French—focus particularly on anthropological studies and interactions between Daoism and art, music, ritual, theater, literature, martial arts, medicine, and various skills.
