Kundalini, Soul Sex & the Quest for Spiritual Orgasm

Topic: TaoNews
Author: Michael Winn

 

Kundalini is often symbolized as a Serpent Rising around 7 chakras.  For Taoists this could be seen as alchemy process of activating a spiral of Dragon Qi to accelerate Change. In Tao numerology, 7 is the Number of Humanity.

Highlights

1.New video “How I awakened my Kundalini” using a Tantric breathing method.

2. A fascinating podcast-video on “Kundalini, Astral Sex, and the Quest for Spiritual Orgasm“.

3. Index to my top five articles on the mystery of Why Sex is the Hidden Driver behind our Spiritual Evolution.  These go way beyond reproductive need.  How Splitting of the Sexes into male-female bodies is humankind’s Number One Trauma. Each of us has been incarnated to help resolve. it

WHAT IS KUNDALINI?

It’s a Hindu term, of uncertain origin. commonly ascribed in Tantric schools (from 9th cen. AD) to a “coiled snake” at the base of the spine. It begins to spiral upwards based on breathing practice, yogic postures, mantra, or other meditation. Some link the term to “chandra”,  the rising full moon pulls the shakti upwards.

From my Taoist perspective, it is simply Qi rising up a core energy channel at an accelerated rate, causing shifts in perception and effecting deep transformation. It could flow around the Micro-cosmic Orbit, or shoot up vertically in the thrusting channel, expandout the crown into a torus (donut) that recirculates around our aura.

There is no fixed way to measure “kundalini”. My definition includes a multi-dimensional awakening, as opposed to an extreme yang or fire Qi rising uncontrolled within one’s current bodily reality. In TCM, this is called False Yang.

I have helped many dozens of clients manage their  over-intense energy. Some are disoriented by an authentic multi-dimensional kundalini, other suffer from False Yang  imbalances that causes insomnia, hallucination, or trigger emotional trauma.

One of the most common causes of “False Yang” pseudo-kundalini is from people trying to stimulate and circulate their sexual energy without proper preparation and grounding.

This is why I ALWAYS warn students to first learn the Inner Smile, Six Healing Sounds, and Wudang Spinning Pearl Orbit (Qigong Fundamentals 1&2) BEFORE they try to circulate their sexual energy. But many are too impatient, and suffer as a result. Or they use less effective Orbit methods, that do not regulate the sexual energy  (Jing Qi) but only more superficial Qi in organ channels.

This problem is aggravated by some Tao teachers who use sexual energy to force open the Orbit. This is a HUGE and potentially DANGEROUS mistake in my very seasoned opinion of 40 years of teaching (20,000. hours in retreats alone).

Yes, sexual energy is very volatile and can stimulate rapid change and movement of Qi and Jing. But it is also “sticky” and if it goes into the wrong channel or organ it can get stuck there, and become very hard to get out. Especially if it bonds with unconscious emotional patterns, i.e. anger, guilt, victimhood.

I learned this the hard way, early on. I pulled up sexual energy into my head and got a bad head ache for three days that nothing would cure. I had to burn up the energy slowly.  The sex energy did not CAUSE the headache, it AMPLIFIED existing mental tension already in my head from stress.

Alas, some Tao “masters” lack deep understanding of and respect for the cosmic power hidden within sexual energy. They don’t know their students are being injured. Sexual energy is not a quickie “spiritual fix” nor “relationship fix”. It has to be integrated into whole body-mind-soul processes.

Inner alchemists use sexual energy (Jing Qi) as an “elixir”  to initiate transformation, but it must be done in a safe, controlled combustion chamber created within the adept’s Energy Body. This is the progressive training I offer, and my students have NEVER once had an uncontrolled explosion (called “kundalini psychosis”) that damaged their health or derailed their spiritual path.

Fabulous & Fun New Video!!!

Chinese Dragons are watery creatures who spiral around a fiery Pearl, symbol of Pure Yang and primal combustive fire of the first moment of Creation.  This dragon path spirals in an internal vortex crystallizing in a spirtual center of gravity, vs. a vertical spiral up the spine, expanding out into undefined space.

KUNDALINI, SOUL (ASTRAL) SEX,

AND THE QUEST FOR SPIRITUAL ORGASM

This is a n “outside the box” frank sex talk between Shashi Solluna (founder, LiveTantra.com) and Michael Winn, who strips bare his juicy and very active sex life in the astral plane. Makes clear that Energy Body or Soul Sex (“spiritual orgasm”) is far superior to physical “friction orgasm” sex.

Friction sex is NOT the trigger for energetic sex. You can grow your  ability to have “soul sex” by self-cultivation with sexual qigong and inner alchemy (water & fire) meditation.

HOW TO SAFELY AWAKEN  YOUR KUNDALINI

King Tut’s mother’s death mask, with the Uraeus – the Pharoh’s Royal Serpent – rising out of her Third Eye. Kundalini Serpent power is an archetype that links many ancient cultures, including the spiral dragons of imperial China and the “serpent swallowing its tail” , the Oroboros in Greece. The Taoist Orbit is the completion of  the Dragon-serpent power circulating its full Heaven-Earth cycle.

You may find it interesting that it was my use of a Tantric breathing method that triggered a dramatic Kundalini awakening in me in 1979 while I was working as a journalist in Africa. My trying to ground the Kundalini led me to explore Taoist methods, and to help launch Healing Tao and writing seven books with Mantak Chia.

I describe this breathing technique in my Medical and Spiritual Qigong Fundamentals 3&4, and use Tao terminology to explain why it works, but this video below is the most in depth sharing of it. The last 15 minutes are my teaching Deep Earth Pulsing Qigong as the best method to ground either authentic rising Kundalini or False Yang Qi.

Super Charge Your Orbit2: Wudang Red Dragon Spinning Pearl Orbit

Topic: TaoNews
Author: Michael Winn

L: Fish circling is symbolic yin-yang equivalent of Tao micro-cosmic orbit.   The fire Qi (spine) and water Qi (chest) channels can be guided to merge together  to unleash powerful internal energies latent in the core channel.  Otherwise, water and fire Qi in the body separate with age, dissipate our Life Force, and eventually lead to premature death.

Dear Lovers of Effortless Flow of Dragon Qi in your Body,

The Microcosmic Orbit is the most famous Taoist method of Inner Alchemy meditation. It is part of One Cloud’s First Alchemy Formula, so it is foundational. The Chinese call it “the Small Heavenly Round” (xiao hou tian). It has other names, like Embryonic Breathing, Warm Current, etc. It was first written about over 2000 years ago to described a method of bringing sexual essence up the spine to recharge the brain.

Let’s cut to the chase. I have been testing various versions of the Orbit since 1980. I’m promoting one particular method from Mt. Wudang, a famous Taoist mountain, called the Red Dragon Spinning Pearl Orbit.

Question #1: Why do we need a “new model” of the Taoist Micro-cosmic Orbit meditation?

Answer #1: I wrote the first book in the West on the Orbit  for Mantak Chia in 1983. His English was poor; so he must depend on others to write his books.So he’s actually what they call a “book packager”. I used his oral methods and wrote the entire book, based on my own practice.

This 1983 book Awaken Healing Energy Through the Tao started the revolution of Taoist inner alchemy  unfolding in the West. It’s Orbit method became the  standard orbit taught in the West. But it took me a decade of teaching it to realize its defect. It was  like Henry Ford’s Model T buggy. It got you there much faster than walking or on a horse. But compared to modern day cars, the Model T is clunky, slow, and gets poor mileage.

The main problem with this “standard model Orbit” is that (using breath, touch, and visualization) it runs on Post-natal Qi, the same Qi that runs our personality and its 12 organ meridians/ body spirits. Once the “driver” (ego) shifts its attention away from the Orbit meditation to some other worldly activity, the Orbit suddenly “runs out of gas”. It dissipates, because the Post-natal Qi of our personality requires constant “re-fueling” using visualization, breathing or movement methods. So adepts are constantly having to “re-start” their Model T Orbit to keep it flowing. I saw this in my own practice, and in my students. Everyone got benefits from it, sometimes very dramatic at first. But over time the effects were diminished.


Mantak begged me for years to write an “upgrade” to the 1983 orbit book, but I didn’t feel was necessary. I knew his real motive was commercial – the first book was published by one of his students, and he wanted 100% control over the rights. I was also concerned that he would make the orbit in a new book too complicated. He agreed to give me total editorial control, so I edited this 1993 Awaken Healing Light of the Tao. I kept the Orbit method very simple in my final draft. But Mantak broke his promise and turned each of my simple 3-step instructions into 15-step procedures. That is why I stopped writing books for him. He made the practice seem very heady and difficult. Tao is about simplicity. For this reason I don’t recommend this book, except to read the chapter descriptions which are very good reference material. Just ignore the complicated meditation instructions.

But this all happened before I learned the Wudang Orbit in 1998. Since then, I tell my students to learn the Wudang Spinning Pearl orbit from oral instructions. The Wudang tradition prohibits the Red Dragon Orbit’s written transmission, which is why I only make available an audio recording of it (my Qigong Fundamentals #2 Audio). Reading the two “standard model” orbit books I wrote for Mantak in 1983 and 1993 is useful as background information, but not the best method of practice.

I reluctantly taught the Wudang Orbit to Mantak Chia in 2011. I had concerns he would modify it and make it more complicated – which he promptly did, spinning the pearls in multiple directions at multple dantians. This complexity, like  many other “experiments” of his, prevented the widespread adoption of a far superior orbit method.  Mantak’s commercial success has become an impediment to his students progress. Who has the time to navigate their way through 40 books and 50 DVDs that he “packaged” – all focused on Post-Natal Qi?

 

Calligraphy expresses the circularity of orbital Qi flow. Note the neutral space in the center = core channel of our personal Energy Body.

This core issue of simplicity is why I’ve long separated my inner alchemy teachings and my clarification of One Cloud’s formulas from Mantak’s teachings over the last 25 years. This is a normal generational evolution that happens in many traditions. I appreciate his tireless efforts to promote Taoist alchemy in the West; he deserves pioneer status. I support his overall mission. But I frankly haven’t seen high level instructors of One Cloud’s alchemy formulas emerge from his global empire, filled mostly with beginner and mid-level Tao practitioners. I believe it’s because his students don’t evolve past the limitation of cultivating Post-natal Qi  – a seed that is planted with the Model T Post-Natal Qi  standard orbit.

iIn my system of internal alchemy, harmonizing Post-natal Yin-Yang Qi is the  foundational step. Then once has to couple Pre-natal Yin-Yang Qi forces to begin crystallizing a pearl with an increasingly higher percentage of Yuan Qi. That is the path of Returning to Origin. You gradually track Original Breath back to its place of Origin. Deep within the core of your body is a portal to the heart of the Cosmos.


 Question #2: What are the other Orbit methods besides the “standard model Orbit” presented in the books you wrote for Mantak Chia?


Answer #2:  There are many. Some Taoists “sing” the orbit around. You can use qigong movement – I created a special form just to do this, and it is extremely effective in kick-starting the flow of Qi. Some martial artists claim standing for hours on end will activate the flow of Pre-natal Qi in the Orbit, but I have seen little evidence of this. For Westerners, the Qi that arises from standing does come from the earth (i..e. beyond the body-mind). But it mostly just goes up to the head, and does NOT descend downward to complete the orbit unless guided to do so. I’ve had a number of clients whose standing practice led to Qi getting stuck in their head, with insomnia resulting. It’s probably because the head is mostly where Westerners tend to live in this Information Age. Maybe it was different for Chinese farmers, who comprised the bulk of most traditional Taoists, who had a deep connection to the earth.

For my Western students,  the Model T Orbit helped them, just as it helped heal many clients with “kundalini syndrome” of too much Qi in their head. So the Post-natal Qi flowing in the orbit is useful. But the Taoist ideal model of super-efficiency is to imitate Nature. That’s because Nature’s Qi flow never  gets tired, stays in Yin-Yang harmony with itself,  and never runs out of fuel. Over the  eons, over many geologic ages, the seasons just keep on rolling by in eternal cycles with overall undisturbed equilibrium. Nature’s flow of Qi does not need Humans  to “push the river” to keep the seasonal Qi flowing. The Orbit should imitate this effortlessness.


 

Orbit as Perpetual Motion in Nature


Question #3: What effortlessly fuels Nature, and the flow of Qi into Post-natal Qi forms over the eons — as stars, planets, mountains, oceans, bugs, human beings and birds?


Answer #3: Pre-natal Qi. Also known as the subtle breath of Early Heaven.


Question #4: What is Pre-natal Qi, and where does  it come from?


Answer #4: It is patterns of living energy, called “formless or subtle forms” stored in a vast dark ocean. The dimension holding this dark ocean is a “halfway heaven”, called Early Heaven,  that mediates between Origin and physical plane (Later Heaven). These  subtle forms  of “dark light” flow into visible light shapes and colors which define the birth all Post-natal forms we call Nature.

This ocean of Pre-natal Qi originates in an invisible, completely formless Primordial Heaven known as “The Mother of All Things”, or tai yi, lit. “Great Oneness”. Beyond tai yi is wu ji, the Supreme Unknowable. Chinese Buddhist-influenced academics often (wrongly, in my opinion) translate wu ji as emptiness. If it unknowable, we cannot know it is empty. A better Taoist translation would be “pure openness”.


Question #5: How do I hook up to the cosmic fuel pump that delivers Pre-natal Qi?

 

Answer #5:  Simple spiritual technology upgrade. You invoke the spinning force of Nature, seen dramatically in tornadoes and hurricanes, known to ancient Taoists as Dragon Qi. The upgrade method is called the Wudang Mountain Red Dragon Spinning Pearl Orbit. There are dozens of different methods to move Qi in the Orbit that have been developed in the last 2000 years in China. I’ve tested many of them over the last 40 years, on myself and on my students.

The Spinning Pearl Orbit is the best I’ve found. Nothing else comes close to it. It moves a deeper frequency of Qi + Jing, subtle breath + blood/sexual essence, and doesn’t dissipate like other Post-natal Qi models of the Orbit. It’s because the “spin” eventually concentrates Post-natal Qi until it is condensed enough, like a collapsing neutron star, into a tiny pearl. This pearl, aka. the Elixir, can easily flow into higher dimensions. When you do this method for a long time within your own body, it causes your entire personal Energy Body to gain fluidity and the ability to shift into the Pre-natal dimension or Early Heaven. Additional neidan training is needed to navigate that realm, and learn how to harness it higher level of causality.


Question #6: What exactly is Dragon Qi? Are there real dragons?


 
 
Spinning dragon guarding a Pearl, from my collection of Chinese silk paintings. The dragon’s spin causes the “shen” – the felt spiritual qualities of the surround field – to magnetically condense down into a super powerful form of “jing” called the “elixir”. It has a precious potential to speed up our spiritual evolution.
 

Answer #6:  Ignore Hollywood’s popularized dragons. These are the mythical archetype of Western dragons. These dragons have wings and swoop down from the sky, often representing dark forces. It’s part of the  Western patriarchal “sky gods rule the earth” model.

Chinese dragons occupy a different mythic space within the greater planetary psyche. They serve a nearly opposite cultural function. The Chinese dragon archetype, like Taoism, is matriarchal and earth centered. Chinese dragons don’t have wings. They emerge twisting and spinning from the ocean in the spring, circulate above for six months and then descend underground in the Fall. When the spinning Dragon Qi is internalized through spiritual practice, it is a sign of Self-rulership over the forces of Nature that shape human destiny and our personal body. Traditionally, there are five dragons, each a different color and arising in a different direction, representing control over the five elements or phases of Nature’s seasonal Qi flow.

While dragons abound in Chinese arts and literature, there are very few methods I’ve found for bridging the gap between one’s personal reality and the mythic reality of dragons. I never really believed in dragons until I had the spontaneous experience of BECOMING a fire-breathing dragon. By this I mean that my personal Energy Body (functional layers of the “soul”) morphed, in broad day light,  into a dragon. I had just finished a round of spinning movements of Taoist Bagua Zhang, a circle-walking form that entailed “dancing” and invoking the Eight Pre-Natal Trigram arrangement.
It was a shock, in a full waking state with eyes open, to see flames and steam billowing  from my mouth. I wasn’t sure how to get back into my human form, but eventually I did. After that, I never doubted the reality of dragons. But it’s taken me a while to evolve a reliable practice where I can invoke Dragon Qi. The Wudang Red Dragon Orbit I’ve evolved (over deaces of practice) so that Dragons instantly arrive to work with me energetically to accomplish some spiritual task.


I have incorporated the Wudang Orbit into the Inner Alchemy Formulas of Wandering Taoist One Cloud. Over the past 38 years I’ve evolved them far beyond the seminal but limited transmission I received from Mantak Chia in the early 1980’s. This has been a gradual process of expanding my personal Energy Body to embrace and merge, step by step, with the Cosmic Energy Body. The Wudang  Spinning Pearl Orbit, and a variation I call the Pre-natal Orbit, have made it much easier to manage Dragon Qi as a natural part of connecting more deeply to Nature.

Medical & Spiritual Qigong Fundamentals 1 & 2
by Michael Winn and wife Jem Minor


Day 1: Inner Smile, Five Animals Qigong, Six Healing Sounds, Taoist qigong & alchemy theory.

Inner Smile is a universal image in art.

We will  smile together silently,learning how to relax from the “heart-mind” (xin) or personality level of smiling in the body until the deeper “inner heart” or soul (ling) level of smiling spontaneously arises from our core.


I will facilitate the Inner Smile with a transmission of that frequency of unconditional acceptance at the soul level. This is one of the most important and simplest self-cultivation practices you can learn and apply simply to daily life. Increased peace, self-love, and acceptance of others are the reward, with secondary benefits of healing all kinds of illness that is stress-caused. Much of the Inner Smile’s effectiveness arises from it shifting Qi from the personality (the “outer smile”) to the soul ‘s “inner smile”. The soul is the gatekeeper between Post-natal and Pre-natal Qi.


The Inner Smile will be integrated functionally into the two oldest qigong forms recorded in Chinese history: the Six Healing Sounds and the Five Animals Play.

Day 2: Guided Wudang Red Dragon Spinning Pearl Orbit with invoked Dragon Qi, and my custom form: Open Qi Flow in the Orbit Qigong.



The Orbit unifies all three dantian energy centers (or seven chakras if you are coming from yogic tradition) into a flowing whole. Process is made simple and physically tangible with the powerful “Open Qi  Flow in the Orbit” movement qigong. Qi transmission is given to help you open Qi flow spiraling in an orbit around your torso.


Includes oral transmission of the three phase training in the powerful Wudang Mountain “Red Dragon” internal method of circulating the orbit (NOT taught in overseas Universal Healing Tao curriculum).

 

THE WUDANG MTN ORBIT IS THE MOST POWERFUL & EFFECTIVE ORBIT METHOD I’VE FOUND – during my 38 years search. Included is my method of invoking spiralling Dragon power, concentrated within a Pearl. This supercharges the orbit meditation to amplify its power and effortless Qi  flow.


BENEFITS: Good for self healing, spiritual centering and balance of all yin-yang meridians of body, and balancing blood and chi. The orbit is also the main pathway used for cultivating spiritualized sexual energy as you progress in your practice.

Wudang Mtn. Red Dragon Spinning Pearl Orbit trains us to crystallize an Inner Pearl that, when combined with other inner alchemy methods — matures into our Inner Sage. Grow your own inner spiritual guide – it is the most reliable Way to navigate your Way (path).


More info on Fundamentals 2 (Orbit): http://www.healingdao.com/ckf2.html


These two days are packed with powerful practices that can make major shifts in your health and energy level. They are Lifetime Treasures, simple enough to easily share with family and friends.


Workshop is open to everyone.

This course is THE main pre-requisite to Fusion, Healing Love, Tai Chi, Kan & Li. This is the best course to begin with, but also suitable for advanced adepts or people from other traditions wishing to go deeper or investigate this system.

Superior Benefits: Wudang Spinning Pearl Dragon Orbit

Dragon spiraling inside a bagua (octagon)

I spent decades studying the many Orbit variations in China. I am confident my evolution of a version from the famous Taoist Wudang Mountain is the most powerful orbit method available. One reason I am so confident is because I’ve not only tested dozens of different orbit methods on myself, but also on thousands of Western students, and observed their positive response. I’m a spiritual scientist, and favor “what works now” over “what worked for someone else in the past” – a trap that lineage chasers sometimes make.

When you do a practice long enough, it reveals deeper secrets to you. Experimentation is at the very heart of the alchemical process. Inner Alchemy is just a way of describing our human power to speed up our evolution. Alchemy keep things simple by working directly with the 3 streams of the Life Force. Negative, positive, and  neutral; or yin, yang, and yuan Qi in Taoist language.

Two things are required to master this new orbit method: the mechanics of the method itself, and a transmission, which is essentially my guiding you to feel it. The transmission, which I give on the second day of my workshop on Medical and Spiritual Qigong Fundamentals 1 & 2, involves inviting in a dragon spirit to inhabit and spin inside one’s personal elixir, or Inner Pearl. So you first need to know how to form that Pearl, and make it real. I reveal those methods as well.

But inviting a dragon spirit inside one’s body? Dragons in Western mythology are generally regarded as extremely dangerous creatures. Most Western adults make them “safe” by not believing dragons are real. That is partly because their childhood power of imagination was beaten out of them by adults concerned for their ability to conform to social norms.. The culture does that in order to make kids grow up into well-behaved social and economic robots.  Perversely, many in Western culture DO believe in the Devil, as it wants you to sell your soul in exchange for a few creature comforts.

Personally, I acknowledge that both dragons and demons have reality. But you won’t find them in the physical plane, by looking under a scientist’s microscope. They exist in the astral plane, the dream plane you fleetingly visit at night. If you want to deal with them consciously, you have to awaken your natural multi-dimensionality.

Six Reasons the Spinning Pearl Dragon Orbit  is so Effective

1. Everything in Our Universe is SPINNING

I know for myself that dragons are real; they just aren’t “physical”. Like most spiritual beings, they live in the astral planes, invisible to ordinary sight. But pretend for the moment that “dragon” is a metaphor for a “natural spinning force”. Even the most nerdy scientist can observe that the spinning force is the dominant power in this Cosmos.

Electrons and protons spin around neutrons. The earth spins on its axis. The planets spin around the sun, the sun spins around the zodiac, and the zodiac spins around some hidden super-galactic center, whose mega black hole spin is so powerful it swallows all gravity and light even as as it burps back out 100 trillion stars.

 

Electron microscope photo of egg & sperm. Photo fails to show the collective force of hundreds of sperm spinning the egg, readying it for implantation by the lucky sperm. There is a physically measurable burst of light emitted at the moment of fertilization.

Men and women spin around each other, in endless sexual play. When human sperm fertilize an egg, they must first gang up and get the giant (to them) egg spinning rapidly, so the incoming soul can “spin into matter”. So spin is the key to fertility (hint: if you’re having trouble getting pregnant, a spinning orbit may help). Spinning is THE process necessary at the moment of conception, beyond all the egg-sperm chemistry. The vibratory spin of your soul is your signature, so Source can track you. “All the world’s a spinning theatre”, to paraphrase a famous bard.

But how many of us ever figure out where that spinning force comes from? Or why there has to be a still space of “no spin” in the center of it? If you did, you’d get the Nobel Prize for figuring out perpetual motion. Nature is not stupid; it spins for a good reason. Some meditators foolishly dream they can stop the spin, but Creation seems to keep on spinning despite their ambitions to achieve an Absolute Emptiness. If you could capture the spinning force, you would have the greatest power in all Creation at your “psychic fingertips”. Hopefully you would apply this spiral power to spreading love, balance, and harmony.

For a lover of Tao, learning the Spinning Dragon Orbit simply means you are empowered to EFFORTLESSLY create deeper harmony and balance in your life. That’s my experience. You don’t need to effort with your everyday mind to cause the spin. The spinning Dragon force, once you get it going, is effortless, alive and intelligent. It naturally keeps spinning.

The Taoists call this spin the True Qi, or Original Yin-Yang force. Its balanced spinning Qi silently overflows into your health, your relationships, your career. It deepens your spiritual path by internally grounding you. It guides your destiny like an internal spinning gyroscope. The orbit supports your unique virtues and your soul’s natural loving presence to flow in graceful spirals out into your everyday life. It flows into your life via the 8 Extraordinary Vessels, which overflow into your 12 regular meridians.

If you are into the yogic model, you know that “chakra” means “spinning wheel”. The Spinning Dragon Orbit method creates a Unified Super-Chakra whose spin embraces and balances all the other chakras simultaneously. I taught kundalini yoga for many years, and loved it. But I find that opening a single whole-body orbit is far more efficient than trying to “open” each individual chakra.

Or consider the metaphor of a car. Once you get it started, it drives wherever you steer it, at whatever speed you choose. The difference between a car and the Orbit is that now you are driving the “car of your Energy Body”, and the fuel source, the Life Force, is free and infinite. Your rate of internal spin determines how much Qi you will draw in from the greater field. You don’t need to pay for gas or new tires. The spinning Qi is a free gift from the Tao.

What could be more valuable than this? Do you treasure your personal Energy Body vehicle as much as you love your metal & plastic-molded automobile? Unfortunately, a lot of people treat their car better than they do their Energy Body. But it’s never too late to wake up and enjoy a life of increased spiritual power.  Are you open to receiving assistance from powerful, harmonious dragon spirits, and to effortlessly spin your Way to health and happiness?

 

2. ORBIT HARMONIZES ABOVE & BELOW.

Tao Cosmology holds as one of its primary principles the correspondence between Micro-cosm and Macro-cosm. There is a famous alchemical maxim that sums this up nicely: As Above, So Below. The orbit links Heaven and Earth within our personal Energy Body.

This means that if we can get our Qi flowing in an orbit pattern locally – IN OUR BODY – that we will be in harmony with the flow of Qi in the larger BODY OF NATURE. Our body and nature’s body are mirror images of each other, a balanced micro-macro cosmic relationship.But if we are energetically asleep the forces in our subconscious can act out in wild and disturbing ways.

The Fire Path Orbit flows from our navel down into the perineum, the Yin Gate of Earth. Then it flows up the spine to the crown of the head, the Yang Gate of Heaven. On its continuous pathway between Heaven and Earth, Qi flows through key points that nourish our Human life – our sexual center, navel, solar plexus, heart, threat, third eye/pineal gland.

The Water Path Orbit runs the opposite direction – up the chest, over the head, down the spine and back to the navel.

Both the Fire and Water paths embody a model of INCLUSIVE-NESS within a process of continuous CHANGE. That is a pretty good summary of the essence of following the path of Tao.

3. ORBIT CIRCULATES SEXUAL ENERGY, ENHANCES CREATIVITY

 

Historically, scholars believe the orbit may have originated over 2000 years ago in a sexual practice  described in ancient texts. This method was to bring sexual essence from below to nourish and enliven the brain above. This Spinning Dragon Orbit method penetrates into the “jing” or substance level much more so than orbit methods that rely on breath or visualization only. The spinning pearl literally digs into deeper levels of our Energy Body, freeing trapped creativity.

If you do this method, at some point the “above” feels full and it spontaneousl overflows and intiates a downward flow. In Taoist alchemy, sexual energy is the secret alchemical agent that is needed to stimulate and raise our vibration to a higher level. This orbit version blends all the hormonal energies and concentrates our sexual essence and blood, making it possible to more quickly transform slower, more habitual organ pathways that can dominate our personality.

4. ORBIT IS SHORTCUT TO BALANCE  YIN-YANG Qi FLOW WITH 8 EXTRA-ORDINARY VESSELS

 

The Orbit Meditation activates two primary deep channels in the body which help control the balance of yin and yang Qi flow. These two channels are part of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, which is best understood as the SOUL CHANNELS that flow into the 12 BODY-MIND ORGAN CHANNELS.

The yang fire channel in the spine is known in Chinese medicine as the Governor Vessel, and the yin water channel up the center line of the torso & chest is called the Conception Vessel. Linking these two allow our personality to effortlessly shift from spirit into matter and back. The Spinning Pearl Dragon Orbit creates the ability to shift between Jing-Qi-Shen levels more quickly. Jing-Qi-Shen is the continuum of awareness from substance (Jing) to subtle breath t(Qi) o broad field of expanded awareness (aka spirit).

These “8 Extraordinary Vessels” control the yin-yang balance of the 12 meridians that regulate the 12 vital organs and bowels. So by opening and nourishing the flow in the orbit, we in effect leverage the harmony between the fire and water channels to influence simultaneously all 12 of the organ meridians that govern our health and personality. So instead of trying to “fix” things on the outer level, we balance the flow of yin-yang Qi from within, on a deeper level.

5. UNIFIED CHAKRA MODEL OF A SPINNING WHEEL

If you are a student of yoga, you might re-frame this to say that the Orbit is adjusting the flow of prana through all the chakras. So instead of trying to “open” a particular chakra, you are opening the faucet so the Qi (prana) pressure is increased and flows like an unstoppable river activating the spin of ALL the chakras. The Orbit thus creates a Unified Chakra that integrates all the other chakras into a single dynamic spinning wheel of life.

6. ORBIT IS FOUNDATION FOR CULTIVATING ORIGINAL BREATH.

 

Our deepest human instinct is to search for our Source. The orbit open the inner space in which we cultivate Yuan Qi (Original Breath). It offers a stable yin-yang egg-shaped vessel, where our inner embryo of our immortal soul can safely gestate.

A lot of students think that it’s enough to just balance out the flow of yin-yang Qi. This is generally the viewpoint of our personality, which is controlled by the tension between our left and right brain hemispheres.

Many have not yet awakened to the reality of a third kind of Qi that is NOT yin-yang polarized. It links us to our soul and over soul. It is known as Original Breath, or Yuan Qi. It is the energy of the Primordial Tao, the source of all creation’s many forms that we call Nature. The orbit flows around the center line of our body, exactly in between our left and right brains. In short, inner alchemy grows our CORE SELF.

Once we have balanced the yin-yang or fire/water Qi flowing around our micro-orbit, we can take the next step and begin to cultivate and grow our Yuan Qi in the core channel. This is called the chongmai, or Penetrating Vessel. This Qi flows in the center of our body, running from perineum to crown. It’s also known as the taiji pole, the spiraling axis between heaven and earth.

The outer path of the micro-orbit around our torso creates the shape of an egg. When we cultivate our Yuan Qi, it’s like we are nourishing the yolk of the egg deep inside us. That is what Taoists call the Immortal Embryo. When we shift from the outer orbit pathway to the core channel, we graduate to a deeper level of internal alchemy, the science of re-birthing our soul and making it tangible.

 

 

 

SUMMARY:  SPINNING PEARL ORBIT IS PRACTICAL AND EFFORTLESS ONCE SET IN MOTION

I’ve integrated the Dragon Orbit into the One Cloud’s system of water & fire internal alchemy. It kicks the alchemical process into super-high frequencies and speeds up one’s progress. It is like graduating from “dial-up” to “broad band” internet – easier, faster, and more fun.

Even if you’ve learned other versions of the orbit from other teachers, I encourage you to study this version live or by home study. Consider it a “spiritual technology upgrade” that will change the trajectory of your Qi cultivation pathway, which is Taoist “energy-talk” way of saying it will change your life.

HOME STUDY ALTERNATIVE.

Grow PSYCHIC ABILITY by Expanding Your Energy Body

Topic: Taonews
Author: Michael Winn

Where does our brain get its psychic powers from? According to Tao inner alchemy, the majority of brain information comes from “gut intuition”, i.e. the 12 internal organ and bowel spirits. The brain is classified as a “Curious Organ” with special functions to interpret and manage the Five Element  and Yin-Yang Qi  flow of information from the “whole body antenna”.

A core principle of Taoist cosmology is the vibrational resonance between the Micro-cosmos of the human body and the Macro-cosmos of Nature’s body.  This is why the Micro-cosmic Oribit is such a famous, foundational practice going back 2000 years.

Most people have not heard of the Macro-cosmic Oribit practice, which links together the two fire-water channels of the Micro-Orbit with six other deep channels in the body.  These deep channels are all vibrating with the larger Qi field of Nature’s body, which means they are constantly downloading information from the larger field. Our DNA double-helix spirals are part of the “resonate-and-relay” system built into our biology AND our Energy Body.

This Qi information flows into what are known as the 8 Extraordinary Vessels,  which then step down the Qi flow into the 12 “regular” organ and bowel meridians that govern our personality (xin, heart-mind).  This is how cosmic information is stepped down into our body, alerting us to changes in the seasons and, if we are sensitive, they alert us as to our “near future” experiences that are about to happen. The energy of any event can be perceived before it actually manifests – and we can change its shape..

So the simple secret to becoming more “psychic” is to expand our Personal Energy Body (12 organ spirits) and use the 8 Extraordinary Vessels to function like antenna gathering information from the Cosmos. The Cosmic Qi energizes and shapes especially the 5 Yin organ spirits – heart,  spleen-pancreas, lungs, kidneys, and liver. These 5-Elment Organs feed the information into the “Curious Organ” of our brain, which interprets the signals.

If you only focus on expanding your Third Eye and downloading more information direct into your brain, there is a risk of overloading your brain circuits (including pineal & pituitary glands) because you cannot ground the Qi information into the rest of the body. This is why One Cloud’s Inner Alchemy Formulas for Cultivating Immortality build your Energy Body from the bottom up, starting with bones and vital organs, not from op down (brain first).

Grounding, Grounding, Grounding – the sure path to good health and Self-mastery.

I have worked with many professional psychics who came to me for healing. They generally have one of two problems:

1) lack of energetic grounding, which they substitute physically by eating more food and holding water. Hence many psychics are fat.

2) poor boundary between their Personal Energy Body and that of their client’s.  They cannot be certain if information is coming from the client or from their own body.-mind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most psychics don’t fully understand their gift. They don’t know that their organ spirits are talking to the organ spirits of their client, and downloading information unconsciously held  by organs spirits of their client.  Most psychic s are not spiritually developed enough to gather the information from the greater Qi field directly. So you are hiring a psychic to tell you information that you  could easily gather from within yourself – IF you had a method to access it.

The Inner Smile and Six Healing Sounds begins the process of connecting to your organ spirits. The purpose of Fusion of the Five Elements is to take that deeper. See the 9 Major Benefits of Fusion 2 & 3 practice below.

What I love about Taoist internal alchemy is that it is a well-tested energetic science. The Qi science is well proven ove rmany centuries. You don’t have to pray to God in the sky to get guidance, you systematically cultivate Qi pathways within and the information is yours.  This Qi cultivation  is ultimately an act of Self-Love, Self-Trust,  and Self-Empowerment. Practically speaking, “psychic ability” is not about reading other people’s mind. It’s about developing a ken, sensitive intuition about how we can best respond to other people or events in order to sustain our path of harmony and balance.

Fusion is foundational, yet still a transitional step in merging our personal self with the Greater Cosmic Self. Beyond Fusion 1-2-3 is Inner Sexual Alchemy (“lesser Kan & Li”), the coupling of inner male and female soul forces. This results in the spiritual birthing of our immortal embryo, our quintessence that will survive physical death.  The highest alchemy formulas guide us to merge into the very heart of the Cosmos. That is a process of alchemical coupling Yin-Yang polarities (sun-moon, Pole Star-Vega, Heaven/spirit-Earth/matter)  in multiple nested dimensions

If you cannot make the Fusion workshop May 1 -2, consider getting the audio. You can take Fusion 2-3 before Fusion 1, but it’s important long term to ground 2&3 with Fusion 1 . These courses lay a good foundation for managing your emotions, getting in touch with Original Feelings of Cosmic Self-Love, and expanding your Personal Energy Body so it becomes a finely tuned antenna to communicate with the greater Qi field of Nature.

Fusion of Five Elements 2 & 3

          Psychic & Soul Alchemy

Open Wudang Red Dragon MACRO Orbit – 8 Extraordinary Vessels

fuse into a single spiral flow of love from Origin.

The 8 Extraordinary Vessels of Fusion 2/3 Macro-cosmic Orbit were originally mapped out in the 8 Trigrams (= Cosmic Winds) of the I Ching (“Book of Changes”.

 

The 9 Major Benefits of Fusion of the Five Elements 2 & 3:

  1. Build a more powerful Energy Body by making conscious the deep energetic structure of your body-mind. You become far more powerful energetically in all spheres of your life. Everyone needs more energy; few understand where to find it and how to keep it balanced. Fusion 2/3 offers a template for a dynamic, flexible, grounded, and continuously flowing Energy Body.

  2. Activate the relationship between your 5 body-spirits and the 8 extraordinary vessels. Fusion 1 develops the pearl as the integration and purification of ego consciousness. Fusion 2/3 moves the pearl through the 8 channels. These 8 channels are the deep pathways the 5 inner “body spirits” of our heart-mind (“xin”) use to energetically manage our biology, our psychology, and our spirituality. Cosmologically, this is equivalent to hard wiring 5-phase and 8-trigram/8-cosmic force theory into one.

  3. Open chi flow internally in the Macro-cosmic Orbit. The Micro-cosmic orbit taught in Qigong Fundamentals 2 balances internal yin-yang chi flow. The Macro orbit adds in the arm and leg channels, which balances the chi flow between the environment and our body. It functionally integrates the chi flow between our inner self and our outer self/world. The macro orbit creates a wonderful feeling of deeper harmony with all that is around us. This Fusion 3 practice is made simple and easy-to-embody by use of the unique 8 Extraordinary Vessels Qigong form, which I custom-developed from years of practice.

  4. Gain a powerful tool for self-healing, especially chronic illness and “mystery illnesses” that don’t respond to other treatments. Since the healing with the 8 Extraordinary Vessels occurs at a deeper level, it dissolves chronic diseases that are hard to cure, and stubborn mental-emotional patterns that do not respond to standard medical or psychological techniques.

  5. Learn to tap into the most effective secrets of Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM). TCM (“Traditional Chinese Medicine”, invented about 50 years ago) does not use the 8 extraordinary vessels. It’s because the 8 Extraordinary Vessels are deep meridians, mostly below the skin level, thus not easily accessible to acupuncture. These 8 deep ‘reservoirs and canals” feed the 12 superficial (vital organ) meridians. If the 8 deep channels are balanced, all 12 of the regular channels will automatically self-balance.

    Private studies show that 8 Extra treatments work faster and have a higher success rate of healing than regular 12-meridian acupuncture. 8 extra acupuncture treatments are slowly becoming known in the west, using ion-pumping cords and master-coupling points where the channels begin and start. But these channels are much more powerful when opened internally and in conjunction with pearl of inner will refined in Fusion 1.

  6. Grow deep wisdom with “psychic alchemy”. Fusion teaches you to become a “Living I Ching” (Book of Unchanging Changes, 3000 year old classic that is foundation of Taoism). Learn the connection between the 8 deep core channels in your body and the 8 trigrams of the I Ching as symbolic system for mediating the 8 cosmic forces that hold form in place and dictate all patterns of change.

    This pattern of “8” is not just some Chinese myth – it is found in biological cell division, in DNA structure, and in sacred geometry of the 8 points of the cube/earth element. The 8 trigrams of the I Ching are used for divination. When you activate 8 deep channels awareness in the body, you become a highly intuitive or psychic person. You begin to spontaneously receive more information from the larger chi field of the environment.

  7. Supercharge the spinal cord, its physical nerve plexus and its subtle energy wiring with the Fusion 2 method of wrapping the spine with golden light (chi) of your inner pearl. This intense practice is like changing your body’s internal communication system from slow dialup to high speed internet.

  8. Learn numerous practical ways to interface your physical body and your Energy Body. The two most important are using the belt channels for grounding and psychic protection, and activating the left, right, and center thrusting channels to clear internal blockages and extend your awareness deep into earth or high into heaven. The pearl can be extended like an antenna above the head or below the ground to receive cosmic chi frequencies without static. When core channels flow in continuous yin-yang circuits, they form an energetic torus (donut shaped aura) that is self-recharging.

    The purified chi of your pearl can clean your aura and spine if used to “slice” through energy blockages. Pearl is also used to rejuvenate your senses (especially helpful for eyes of computer users) with internal figure-8 spiraling techniques.

  9. Open pathways of communication between your Original Spirit, pre-natal self and your post-natal (physical) self. The pearl and the 8 Extra Vessels are like half-way meditators between your physical body and your formless inner self. Thus Fusion internal technology can be used to heal trauma that occurred in your mother’s womb. It facilitates downloading whatever our body-mind needs from the infinite, formless sea of chi within. Every human being was born from this dark ocean of potential energy. But more important is to realize we all carry that ocean of chi inside of us, and learn how to use it.

What is the “Meaning of LIfe” for a Taoist?

Topic: Daoist Scholars
Author: Michael Winn

R: Plasma spiral of galaxy mirrors Yin-Yang symbol. Both express flow of Nature as two equal polar forces spiraling around a neutral third center – the same principle as DNA double helix. Two strands spiral around an invisble central axis.

How does this relate to our search for the  Meaning of Life? Read essay below.

What’s the “Meaning of Life” for a Taoist?

by Michael Winn

Chuang Tzu, a central figure of classical Taoism, argued that language could not completely express meaning, thus a linguistic “meaning” could not fully attain Tao.  – Jana Rosker, Semantic Development… in Chinese Thought (paraphrased)

In my Taoist view, “meaning” is a culturally or linguistically constructed CONCEPT. Both Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu saw language as a limited reality created in our mind, but not to be confused with the deeper underlying reality of the Way.

We must look beyond conceptual meaning. “Life” is the most important word in the question, as it’s more tangible. The implied question is really: “what does it mean to be fully alive?”.

Your life IS your path, your Way. Chuang Tzu says our Way arises with each step we take.

That is why it is useless to follow someone else. You can learn from others without following them.

LIFE is the direct, lived experience of our personal Way. Our Tao (Dao) is whatever spontaneously arises on our path. We either accept it or resist it. We love it or we struggle with it. But our response does not define nor limit LIFE itself. It simply becomes our co-creative contribution to the “lived meaning” of that moment.

The totality of our our conscious and unconscious EXPERIENCE of Life in any given moment is the “meaning” itself. Life cannot be reduced to a concept, our “thought” about life. Nor can it be reduced to a memory of one especially intense moment. LIFE is too vast.

In my self-cultivation process, I’ve come to understand that memory is not stored in our physical body. Rather its held in the layers of our subtle Energy Body, which is vibrating in deep resonance with the greater Qi field. This field pulses and changes, a multi-dimensional dance of spontaneous equilibrium in an eternal Present Moment. The speed at which our  human life pulses to these Yin-Yang rhythms we call Time.

The cosmic pulsation is not linear. Its a yang spiral expanding out from a neutral Source into physical form, then a yin spiral back into its original formless energy. It’s our cosmos’ learning process, and each pulsation happens in nano-moments too fast for human senses to grasp.

Past (including past lives) and future are illusory stories our mind creates to contain and explain the mysterious, multi-dimensional Yin-Yang Qi pulsations. These vibrate, organize, and record the evolution of everything, from tiny atoms to hhumans to vast galaxies. Lao Tzu calls this process the “spontaneous self-arising” (ziran) of Tao. LIFE arises from WiTHIN, it does not descend by fiat from ABOVE.

Our “life memories” are one tiny stream of personal  Energy Body patterns dancing in the flowing Qi River of the Cosmos. Our mental explanations are just a surface description. Spoken language cannot fathom the vast depths of life’s ultimate “meaning”.

What is the Meaning of Qi?

Calligraphy for Qi.

Because Qi infuses and shapes all life, we could just as well ask, “what is the Meaning of Qi?”

This a more fruitful question, but needs to be focused. I consider Qi to be the language of Nature. Insects, animals, plants, and planets all “speak Qi” effortlessly. Children are taught to UN-learn it. We re-learn to “speak Qi” through qigong and any modality that relies on Qi – energy healing, TCM, martial arts, etc.  “Gong” means “skill”, but its more than a fighting or healing or enlightenment skill.

At root, all Qi skills are language skills that enable us to communicate with and activate the Qi field.  Nature’s Qi language will take us much deeper than human language and mental concepts. Direct conscious connection to the Qi field is like sucking milk from Mother Nature’s breast.

If we track Qi back to its Origin, we encounter the notion of  Yuan Qi, literally the “original subtle breath” of the cosmos. Yuan Qi arises from the Great Oneness (taiyi), what Lao Tzu calls the Mother of All Things. Moderns might call it the “heart of the cosmos” or its “central sun”, medieval astrologers the Primum Mobile, philosophers the First Mover. Religions call it Most High God or Goddess.

Why did the One breathe itself into the Many, into our perplexing human existence? Would not its Original Intent define the ultimate “meaning” of all life?

Taoists believe this question cannot be answered. Taiyi arises from wuji, the Supreme Mystery, which by definition is the UN-knowable. They do not say wuji is an Absolute Emptiness (unlike Chan Buddhists). Wuji is rather a dark mysterious portal holding the function of Pure Openness, a meta-cosmic womb whose impulse is to unceasingly nourish the Great Oneness.

Thus the Taoist cosmos is inherently mysterious. We cannot know the “meaning” of why Supreme Mystery birthed Great Oneness, or why in turn the One births the Many of the 10,000 things, including our personal life.

In this sense the “meaning of life” can be known only by our playing and dancing with the Qi field, loving its Great Mysterious Beauty, even if at times it is a Terrible Beauty filled with suffering.

Love  the Meaning Hidden in Our Inner Body Space

There is one solace. We don’t need to get on a rocket ship to Outer Space to explore this mystery. The meaning we seek is in our Inner Body Space. If the Origin of this cosmos is a mystery, then our human body is a fractal pattern containing that same mystery. We carry the Great Mystery within our personal body-mind-soul as a Small Mystery.

Can we love the beauty of life’s mystery within our body? The very act of loving the scary unknown and its infinite Pure Openness within our own body can give us the meaning we seek. It is practical, and  can empower us to transcend our fear of living our life fully. The FEAR of truly opening our hearts to LOVE all forms of embodiment may be far greater than our fear of Death. Life is the expanding spiral of Yang, Death is the return journey, a Yin spiral back to our formless neutral Origin.

The “meaningful life” we humans seek is really about our ability to love embodiment. Can we love our body, the body of lovers, family and society, the body of the planet, the body of the sun, moon, stars, the body of Space itself? That love will merge our Energy Body into the multi-dimensional Yin-Yang pulsations of the Qi field. It will inspire us with awe, and dwarf our petty concerns about the lack of meaning in our social Little Life.

Loving all the subtle Qi levels of embodiment, and living and co-creating in harmony with the Qi field as per our unique destiny  — this is the very purpose of Qi arts and sciences.  Qigong grounds us and opens awareness of post-natal Qi flow in the 12 organ meridians and in Nature all around us. Neigong (‘inner skill”) quiets our mind and activates pre-natal Qi flow in the Eight Extraordinary Vessels.

Neidan gong (inner alchemy) allows us to sexually couple volatile forces in ourc ore channel “the cauldron”. This couples our soul level inner male and female, matter and spirit, pleasure and pain, good and evil, cosmic water and fire, and any pair of  polar essences within Heaven and Earth. This sexual coupling in our Inner Body Space grows an Elixir of True Yin-Yang-Yuan Qi, thereby restoring our original immoral human nature.

These “Loving Energy Sciences” are a spiritual tool kit for quickening our evolution. When we grow Yuan Qi in our core, it matures into an Inner Sage with neutral detachment to the suffering caused by dark forces (as seen in this pandemic).  Yet it simultaneously radiates Pure Love from Origin to all beings, animate and inanimate. Experience of this inexhaustible Pure Love is the hidden “meaning” I believe everyone is seeking while they navigate their highest  worldly destiny.

This is no easy shortcut or escape path. We still have to love the pandemic profit-driven Fear drama, in order to heal it. But we don’t have to let it define the meaning of our life, which rests safe and secure deep in our Inner Body Space.

Loving Energy Science has  has added more “meaning” to my life than anything else I’ve experienced in my short sixty-nine years on planet Earth. I look forwad to sharing it with you.

Why Does Life Feel So SAD?

Mankind has endured hundreds of pandemics as part of its normal evolution. They sweep through, kill the weak, then herd immunity restores balance, and life goes on. Infectious diseases like TB and pneumonia have IDENTICAL symptoms and GREATER RISK of infecting others than COVID . They kill 4 million  people EVERY year — without lock downs, masks, or loss of liberties.

What happened to the “normal” cycle of Yin-Yang Qi in the last year?  Was there some “artificial” political-medical-media tinkering on a global scale?

A lot of people are feeling sad, depressed and bankrupted, some suicidal, by lock downs. They are exhausted by a media-hyped, Big Pharma profit-driven campaign of fear, designed to enroll the human race as foot soldiers in an unwinnable war against Nature. They suppressed free speech about effective natural healing from Vit. C and D, zinc, selenium, TCM + qigong,

There is the safe drug alternative ivermectin, already given to 3.9 billion people for anti-parasites. It has zero side effects and a 99% effective rate vs. COVID. (https://covid19criticalcare.com/medical-evidence/ivermectin). It costs about $1. a month.

Instead the Greedy Ones  are are pushing antiquated 200-year old germ theory and risky experimental genetic mRNA devices that failed for 10 years to pass FDA safety tests when used vs. cancer. These non-biologic “vaccines” have caused 912 deaths and over 12,000 injuries (CDC VAERs, Feb. 19,2021).

Your odds of being vaccine-killed or injured are DOUBLE the risk of dying from alleged COVID infection. CDC gives an incredibly low global Infection Fatality Rate (IFR, those who die from infection) of less than .2%, similar to the common flu in a normal year.

The CDC earns $35 billion a year from vaccines, a motive for its  complicity with Big Pharma in suddenly changing a 17-year old standard for recording death certificates in March 2020. without legally required public hearings. This caused COVID death statistics to skyrocket 94%, from what would have been 16,000. deaths up to 350,000. deaths in 2020..

The “6% COVID only” death statistic is a new CDC “PIC” category, which does not distinguish between Pneumonia, Influenza, and COVID deaths. Coronavirus infections are upper respiratory, and most people are clearly dying from pneumonia lower lung congestion. This, plus the average alleged COVID death is age 80, plus the fact that all-cause 2020 death statistics (not yet complete)  are  a small fraction of 350,000., it is safe to assume COVID death statistics are heavily inflated.

Most would have died of other causes anyway. Since there is “no viral isolate” of COVID-19 (confirmed by both CDC and Wuhan Lab), there is no way to accurately test if ANYONE actually died from Covid-19 alone. More science fraud.

It gets worse. CDC appears complicit with WHO, who also makes billions from vaccine distribution, in setting PCR tests at 40 to 45 cycles, causing a 92% false positive reporting of “COVID cases” without medical symptoms. A PCR test cannot “diagnose disease”, nor distinguish between a dead RNA viral fragment from the flu ten years ago, and a live viral load today.

Ex-Pfizer chief scientist Dr. Michael Yeadon says the pandemic ended last April 2020, but PCR tests perpetuates harmful lock downs. The intentional medical fraud and public harm is staggering.

The only HAPPY NEWS is what the media fails to report. Famed Johns Hopkins doctor Marty Makary noted cases are down 77% over the past six weeks. The number of cases is “plummeting because natural herd immunity is far more common than can be measured by testing.”

Still, given the widespread Chaos and seeming collusion of dark greedy forces, it’s a natural time to ask the question:

What’s the “Meaning of Life” for a Taoist?

by Michael Winn

Chuang Tzu, a central figure of classical Taoism, argued that language could not completely express meaning, thus a linguistic “meaning” could not fully attain Tao.  – Jana Rosker, Semantic Development… in Chinese Thought (paraphrased)

In my Taoist view, “meaning” is a culturally or linguistically constructed CONCEPT. Both Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu saw language as a limited reality created in our mind, but not to be confused with the deeper underlying reality of the Way.

We must look beyond conceptual meaning. “Life” is the most important word in the question, as it’s more tangible. The implied question is really: “what does it mean to be fully alive?”.

Your life IS your path, your Way. Chuang Tzu says our Way arises with each step we take.

That is why it is useless to follow someone else. You can learn from others without following them.

LIFE is the direct, lived experience of our personal Way. Our Tao (Dao) is whatever spontaneously arises on our path. We either accept it or resist it. We love it or we struggle with it. But our response does not define nor limit LIFE itself. It simply becomes our co-creative contribution to the “lived meaning” of that moment.

The totality of our our conscious and unconscious EXPERIENCE of Life in any given moment is the “meaning” itself. Life cannot be reduced to a concept, our “thought” about life. Nor can it be reduced to a memory of one especially intense moment. LIFE is too vast.

In my self-cultivation process, I’ve come to understand that memory is not stored in our physical body. Rather its held in the layers of our subtle Energy Body, which is vibrating in deep resonance with the greater Qi field. This field pulses and changes, a multi-dimensional dance of spontaneous equilibrium in an eternal Present Moment. The speed at which our  human life pulses to these Yin-Yang rhythms we call Time.

The cosmic pulsation is not linear. Its a yang spiral expanding out from a neutral Source into physical form, then a yin spiral back into its original formless energy. It’s our cosmos’ learning process, and each pulsation happens in nano-moments too fast for human senses to grasp.

Past (including past lives) and future are illusory stories our mind creates to contain and explain the mysterious, multi-dimensional Yin-Yang Qi pulsations. These vibrate, organize, and record the evolution of everything, from tiny atoms to hhumans to vast galaxies. Lao Tzu calls this process the “spontaneous self-arising” (ziran) of Tao. LIFE arises from WiTHIN, it does not descend by fiat from ABOVE.

Our “life memories” are one tiny stream of personal  Energy Body patterns dancing in the flowing Qi River of the Cosmos. Our mental explanations are just a surface description. Spoken language cannot fathom the vast depths of life’s ultimate “meaning”.

 

What is the Meaning of Qi?

 Because Qi infuses and shapes all life, we could just as well ask, “what is the Meaning of Qi?”

This a more fruitful question, but needs to be focused. I consider Qi to be the language of Nature. Insects, animals, plants, and planets all “speak Qi” effortlessly. Children are taught to UN-learn it. We re-learn to “speak Qi” through qigong and any modality that relies on Qi – energy healing, TCM, martial arts, etc.  “Gong” means “skill”, but its more than a fighting or healing or enlightenment skill.

At root, all Qi skills are language skills that enable us to communicate with and activate the Qi field.  Nature’s Qi language will take us much deeper than human language and mental concepts. Direct conscious connection to the Qi field is like sucking milk from Mother Nature’s breast.

If we track Qi back to its Origin, we encounter the notion of  Yuan Qi, literally the “original subtle breath” of the cosmos. Yuan Qi arises from the Great Oneness (taiyi), what Lao Tzu calls the Mother of All Things. Moderns might call it the “heart of the cosmos” or its “central sun”, medieval astrologers the Primum Mobile, philosophers the First Mover. Religions call it Most High God or Goddess.

Why did the One breathe itself into the Many, into our perplexing human existence? Would not its Original Intent define the ultimate “meaning” of all life?

Taoists believe this question cannot be answered. Taiyi arises from wuji, the Supreme Mystery, which by definition is the UN-knowable. They do not say wuji is an Absolute Emptiness (unlike Chan Buddhists). Wuji is rather a dark mysterious portal holding the function of Pure Openness, a meta-cosmic womb whose impulse is to unceasingly nourish the Great Oneness.

Thus the Taoist cosmos is inherently mysterious. We cannot know the “meaning” of why Supreme Mystery birthed Great Oneness, or why in turn the One births the Many of the 10,000 things, including our personal life.

In this sense the “meaning of life” can be known only by our playing and dancing with the Qi field, loving its Great Mysterious Beauty, even if at times it is a Terrible Beauty filled with suffering.

Love  Meaning Hidden in Inner Body Space

There is one solace. We don’t need to get on a rocket ship to Outer Space to explore this mystery. The meaning we seek is in our Inner Body Space. If the Origin of this cosmos is a mystery, then our human body is a fractal pattern containing that same mystery. We carry the Great Mystery within our personal body-mind-soul as a Small Mystery.

Can we love the beauty of life’s mystery within our body? The very act of loving the scary unknown and its infinite Pure Openness within our own body can give us the meaning we seek. It is practical, and  can empower us to transcend our fear of living our life fully. The FEAR of truly opening our hearts to LOVE all forms of embodiment may be far greater than our fear of Death. Life is the expanding spiral of Yang, Death is the return journey, a Yin spiral back to our formless neutral Origin.

The “meaningful life” we humans seek is really about our ability to love embodiment. Can we love our body, the body of lovers, family and society, the body of the planet, the body of the sun, moon, stars, the body of Space itself? That love will merge our Energy Body into the multi-dimensional Yin-Yang pulsations of the Qi field. It will inspire us with awe, and dwarf our petty concerns about the lack of meaning in our social Little Life.

Loving all the subtle Qi levels of embodiment, and living and co-creating in harmony with the Qi field as per our unique destiny  — this is the very purpose of Qi arts and sciences.  Qigong grounds us and opens awareness of post-natal Qi flow in the 12 organ meridians and in Nature all around us. Neigong (‘inner skill”) quiets our mind and activates pre-natal Qi flow in the Eight Extraordinary Vessels.

Neidan gong (inner alchemy) allows us to sexually couple volatile forces in our core channel “the cauldron”. This couples our soul level inner male and female, matter and spirit, pleasure and pain, good and evil, cosmic water and fire, and any pair of  polar essences within Heaven and Earth. This sexual coupling in our Inner Body Space grows an Elixir of True Yin-Yang-Yuan Qi, thereby restoring our original immortal human nature.

These “Loving Energy Sciences” are a spiritual tool kit for quickening our evolution. When we grow Yuan Qi in our core, it matures into an Inner Sage with neutral detachment to the suffering caused by dark forces (as seen in this pandemic).  Yet it simultaneously radiates Pure Love from Origin to all beings, animate and inanimate. Experience of this inexhaustible Pure Love is the hidden “meaning” I believe everyone is seeking while they navigate their highest  worldly destiny.

This is no easy shortcut or escape path. We still have to love the pandemic profit-driven Fear drama, in order to heal it. But we don’t have to let it define the meaning of our life, which rests safe and secure deep in our Inner Body Space.

Loving Energy Science has  has added more “meaning” to my life than anything else I’ve experienced in my short sixty-nine years on planet Earth. I look forward to sharing it with you.
