Sorry I have give quick response. Hun and Po are apart of the Heart-mind(xin), that is birthed from the Trinity or some times called Binary soul aka Vesica Pisces. The hell part is a Buddhist influence as there are no hells in Taoism just different Heavens. Most of the Buddhist and Confucian influence was all about anti yin earth or women. They even said that the energy body was all yang and that was the goal. Like you can ever divorce the two. Reincarnation was another Buddhist influence. The Taoist and also western mystery schools have a concept of micro and macro cosmos as well and the concept of over souls (large collectives) Aka all things have souls. So you can connect with the soul essences or Jing Chi Shen of your knee and ask it to heal its self and you can provide the unconditional love that it needs or the allowance for change. Feng Shui is a an art for the dead, if your ancestors rest well then they will influence you in a positive manor. The bones/jing of the dead still resonate strong with there living relatives. I would read these. http://www.healingtaousa.com/pdf/39.pdf http://www.acupuncturetoday.com/mpacms/at/...le.php?id=28516 http://www.acupuncturetoday.com/mpacms/at/...le.php?id=28537

First there was Alchemical Taoism, the Alchemical Taoists hypocritically where anarchists yet at the same time wished to control the info and process. Thus the people having little tools for self empowerment(embodiment of the Tao) or inner guidance they demanded outer guidance and the market for Taoist/Buhdist religions and Confucianism was born. Same happened in the west but possibly a slight more Elitists taste to it. Most religions are groupings of common folk cults and shamanism, with just enough Alchemy for the priest to play with. Hope my perspective helped.

What most like Jordan Maxwell are pointing out is that Christianity like most major world religions are a grouping of older traditions and stories edited together. There is a heavy Greek influence in Christianity so you have worship of Christos the Sun logos or western immortal. Was Jesus the sun immortal? Allot of humans got deified like Asclepius the archetypal image for Jesus. Thats why he looks like a white Greek guy instead of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bedscha.jpg . Satan is the collective darkness around all our hearts. Lucifer represents the empowering of humanity with outer and inner technology, but its negative aspect is mainly represented by todays over use of outer technology/alchemy, Fuxi could be considered Lucifer of Asia. Hope that helps.

Children are great teachers/mirrors and can speed your process. The primordial gave birth to the yin and yang and the yin and yang gave birth to the primordial in the form of yuan shen, chi, jing. So remember we often give birth to our parents. Parenting is the highest virtue. Good luck. Congrats.

My impression was that the practices in his view where producing false yang. Not enough neutral space for water and fire to find balance, this also relates to time(aka how fast or slow- past and future integration). In this around 55:00 minutes Valery Uvarov also talks about this.

Just to clarify my personal perspective on lust is that it is a condition of un grounded sexual energy and often excess yang(often driving one to search out yin to balance) other ways this can play out in the five elements. At first I would recommend inner smile practice, microcosmic orbit and progression through iron shirt 1 & 3. You may also feel healing sounds & fusion practices important to release, recycle, and return emotions no longer serving you. Such as chronic guilt and anger. In grounding you may find ancestral issues related to the sexual polarity between your female and male ancestry. That should be a great start. Sorry if I repeated any one I did not read all the posts. Check out www.healingtao.com http://www.healingtaoretreats.com/

I want to find a nice Ting Sha Gong set and a singing bowl any help in this would be appreciated. I found this site http://www.thesingingbowls.com/ and they have bowls made with seven metal? Thanks in advance.

This area is often very block from all the lying we do and the kundalini(serpent) or jing(dragon) turning into shen(phoenix) can not get through, after awhile you get a hunch back, also important is the jade pillow or cerebellum. I use the micro cosmic orbit as well as other practices to clear this area. It is a very powerful focal point, and smiling from this center to some one us wish to harmonize with is very powerful. It can also be missed used thus this point is often missing in western alchemical tree of life. But the point I believe is call Da'at.

I think you might enjoy this book it gives a nice over view along with practices if you like. Shows how western/Atlantien Alchemy develops a soul star and brings this down cooking the jing, it is a top down approach.

These are western immortals. Some are what in the west they call logos like the sun logos Christ. The sun is an immortal being that embodies in all sorts of forms just to give you an idea.

Most ancient or even just old cultures west to east considered money or current-sea to be related to the water element as well as jing. One could spend jing and emotional energy on all sorts of activities Taoists choose to put there inner wealth toward spiritual evolution same with there outer wealth. If a pure trade and barter system were to arise again I am sure taoist would adapt but still this would not be "free" but a win win sharing. You would not want to be parasitic would you?

Here is a talisman made for me by a Taoist monk on Huashan Mountain. If some one could translate it that would be wonderful. Are the folds done in a special way as well?

My understanding of the ancient way of viewing this in the west is that there are not twelve strands of physical jing dna but 12 levels used as a teaching tool to describe what in reality is like multi dimensional clouds floating in and out of each other. Most of the ancient legends tell of the first cooking of humanity coming from energies from the pleiadians often called the seven sisters, they helped humanity integrate into the physical world later cookings of humanity came from lumaria which is associated with the the seven eighth and ninth levels the last three is the sacred trinity the holy of holies. Thats what I can remember. Hope that helps.

Michael Winn uses some of the forms from his Kuan yin form in his fundamentals class. The transmission of inner smile I found to be the important part. Jesus sitting Gigong mixed with inner smile nei gong from Michael I have found to be very powerful. Like turbo said I would select one form or pieces of forms and work it, to many forms will split your focus and chi. I would also recommend live study. He is truly a beautiful person.

Forgive me if I am repeating people. I have not read through the posts here but felt my perspective might help. In my opinion creation is about process or relationship. Thoughts like anything else in nature come from the the process or communications of heaven and earth yin and yang. You choose to claim or identify with certain thoughts just as you can claim a peace of land. Humanity rests between haven and earth or divinity and biology if you like, one foot in each. This is why I say control is illusional and its attempt is draining, most of the general communication I see is an attempt to predict and manipulate, not communicating freely our ling or true self this drains us. That is true freedom, freedom of expression like in a dream. If I had to pick one thing we control, it is how much we wish to open and create space for this process of the life force. The rest is relating to family. I hope that makes sense and helps.

You can try to fallow the sound see where it leads you, you may receive a healing from this. You can also give this sound a vessel a gold round ball and bring it down into your lower tan tian.

The key here is not retention but opening. Make non semen or non energy loss a symptom or a gauge of success in your cultivation. If you are single, find a mirror look your self in the eyes and start saying to your self I love you and accept you. Also do this internally, I highly recommend audio guided meditations found here. If in a relationship (I highly recommend this) look into each others eyes and open your hearts to each other and accept each other and see your self in each other. Let your partner help you to experience opening up and making weakness your greatest strength. Let the tears come form this deep sexual healing. Alchemists move in the direction of returning, and our function is weakening. Follow your yin or female aspect in this time, if you have a female partner let her guide you and help you get in touch with your female self your multi full body orgasmic self. Grounding, detoxification & cleansing of the body, and later the orbit and fusion practices will make for a good foundation. Be careful of the illusion of control, focus on honest communication, trust and acceptance. If you feel resistance to being in a relationship in general then be in a relationship until the resistance or fear has gone, you will have to work at it. Always work what feels like you have the most resistance to. If you fear or have resistance to being alone try being alone until there is no resistance or fear. This will make all your days very productive and you will feel more grounded in your essence that never changes regardless of your shape or mask. hope my perspective helped

No need for muscle testing if you have a deep relationship with them. It is about learning to listen/feel subtle communications of the life force, to be in a relationship. For instance if you perceive an agitation at a subtle level you can adjust before it be comes some thing like out right anger or depression. If you ignore these communications for to long you will eventually have disease that you will have to pay attention to, well hopefully. In the alchemical process our movement is returning, our home is very subtle and is no place. If you need more feel free to ask. I will do my best to answer.

Body spirits, grounded or housed if you like in our vital organs. Lung/metal/po kidney/water/zhi liver/wood/hun heart/fire/shen spleen/earth/yi(as in yijing).

The daily external alchemy I enjoy is Primordial qigong , big dipper qigong, omega-3 fish oil, Goji juice (if you by from here it is a tax write off) Power 4 mixed with Tonic Alchemy carrot, cellary, apple all juiced, ginger, chayanne pepper Immortal drops, and longevity tea. I would drop all the other stuff and keep just the qigong forms if I had to choose. I do not mix in the tea or the drops into my juice shakes but you could. It is cheep if you replace meals. I also make tonic soups in a croc pot.

Toaist practice of balancing all the Chakras (12x12 not just seven, nor 2d) and all yin yang meridians, as well as balancing sexual energy is the Microcosmic Orbit. I ussualy recommend cleaning house and practicing self acceptance(inner smile) first. This helps the body mind intergrate, making your inner practices actualization not just visualization. You will not want to stay in your body if it full of garbage, and the inner smile practice can start to return chi back to its original state of flow thus healing. Try just looking at your self in the mirror right in the eyes and just keep saying I love you or a accept you, it is a great simple practice, the tears(metal element) will come signifying the recognition of self and a refinement of your metal element. Toaist use sounds and herbs to cleanse as well. If your interested I recommend the DVDs/audio CDs and seminars found here http://www.healingtaousa.com/ you can also look up local teachers on this web site. Taoist also start from the base seeing the yang inside the yin and realizing top down control is illusional (for every manipulation there is a counter manipulation yin,yang) . It is about relationship and honest communication of the ling (true self) not control. I was watching the dog whisper a TV show in which a man helps people with there pets. I found it interesting because he ends up showing people that the pets mirror for people their own em-balance so if they fixed their em-balances the pets shift in responce. Such is our animal matrix, such is the process of relation and communication. I hope my perspective helped.

The yijing in my opinion does not predict the future but reads the greatest potential or potentials at the moment. I agree (if I am reading you right) that one should not confuse a discussion or scholarly understanding of process with experience. Reading about process should enhance experience not replace it. Its is good there are allot of books as there are allot of different interests or branches and stems of a taoist life, as well as perspectives.
