Ascension thru inner power

[templetao]

My point in starting this topic is to help anyone who is unsure about this subject matter.

 

I have to get that demon out of your ear and help those find a path that leads to ascension(those who have ears to hear let them hear)

 

Also to prevent them for paying hundreds of dollars for something that doesnt lead to a high attainment.

 

Inner power when outwardly expressed is called ging or jing.

 

There is a natural alchemy thru this over time but it is not always so if a few things are not understood.

 

Alchemy for the most part is about purity. The more pure your chi is the strong it will be.

 

Some methods focus on fire or yang chi because fire is the only element that cant be polluted. Fire is used to burn the impurities away.

 

Other methods use a higher level of energy or a heavenly chi. heavenly chi makes your body more pure without making you so yang. Due to this new purifty and new vibration level your body mind and spirit will go thru a cleansing and the transformation will start to take place.

 

 

 

This transformation is just the derbis being removed so the diamond or real you can be revealed.

 

A higher vibration in the alchemic sense doesnt just mean frequency. There is meaning or message in that signal. The more pure that signal is the more clear the message is.

 

To increase your signal without making sure the message is clear is to only increase the static that you produce. - Understand.

 

The heaven essence is a more refined than fire chi. Being such the heaven chi will cause your body to produce more essence.

 

But understand fire is lower heaven and heaven chi is heaven so you need earth chi.

 

Without this your internal power and body will cancel each other out.

 

meaning this. The vibration in your body is a yin manifestation feed by yang chi. Your yin organs have to process and filter the energy running in your system. Meaning that if your internal power doesnt grow with your yin chi your body will burn itself out to feed the vibration. This leads to kidney probelms and so on. So if this develops but some how you can still train your inner power wont grow as it should because your yin isnt strong enough to make it grow your running behind the eight ball so to speak.

 

That issue will keep you from restoring the original power.

 

This original power is beyond yin and yang. The way of the taoist is back to the source.

 

So your yin and yang have to be balanced for you to even be able to touch this original power.

 

Remember this.

 

The mind is a reflection of the spirit and the body is a reflection of the mind. So you have methods of absolute purity that deal with stilling the mind.

 

but in higher states of stillness this mind is like a laser and when this state is reached and focused on the lower dantian it can burn away impurities and cook the ldt and awaken the power.

 

This is basic ascension this not the high level stuff.

 

Now heaven chi being finer than fire chi condenses easier than fire chi for fire chi's nature is to expand so isometric movements with yi is needed to condense it. Heaven chi will condense on its on in time given the natural movement of the ldt.

 

In all of taoism the highest alchemy has always been to connect to the original source of power in the body and thru that connect to the tao, wuji and so on.

 

Now in the martial circles you can stop on the ascension path and focus on martial things and so on.

 

But

 

The higher attainments hold more power. Remember the more pure your chi is the more powerful it will be.

 

During this ascension this purification. You start to become a vessel of purity.

 

This Yuan chi is beyond yin and yang for it came before yin and yang. It is the power the life force that spread to the inner and outer to balance yin and yang. its representative on this planet in the elements is air.- Understand

 

When this power is tapped into it holds the original message the original signal. It will send this signal thru your entire body like a pulse this is the thunder the lightning is the vibration that will come from being made whole and yin and yang is balanced and was able to fully manifest.

 

Now the alchemy is not over. Not even close. Remember this Wuji was the original force it went to yin and yang to balance them and this was the third force. because of this yin and yang can go back to the source. The truth is there is no such thing as yin or yang they are just states but thats all they ever were there is only wuji. This also means that yin and yang strengthens the wuji.

 

The only real power in heaven or earth is virtue.

 

let me take a break to explain this. When you project your chi your only projecting yourself. Your ability to project is directly related to your expanded awareness- the ability to extend your mind beyond yourself.

 

Then the spirit

Then virtue

 

You only project out to control what comes back to you for in truth your projection will always remain connected to you like threads.

 

So your projections go from just energy coming out of your hand till it becomes energy and mind. Then it will transmute and become energy and spirit. Then finally it transmutes into pure virtue.

 

So when your doing a healing on someone in the future. You will be able to project your chi into them and see and feel. To know the condition of the persons energy mind body and spirit. They will describe it as feeling a divine current running thru their body- Understand.

 

Ok so back to the alchemy.

 

Now that the original power is restored. You must connect it to the source from hence it came. You must open the gate inside your self and tap in a higher power.

 

This is to go into higher and higher levels of virtue and to continue up the ascension path.

 

That is a high level of virtue. You can radiate with your own virtue but then there are masters that can radiate with heavenly virtue and just out shine you.

 

The wuji or original chi methods of chi is the way to go. So if you are searching look for something like this that goes deep into its training.

[templetao]

if your noticing a connection between purity and power then your on to something.

 

fire element represents individual will.

You left virtue hot as fire. We return as light which stands for awakened spirit or purified fire.

 

Thunder and lightning on earth happens do to an imbalance of heaven and earth chi. The thunder lighting is the third force coming to balance them.

 

When this happens = thunder and lightning- So it represents awakening you to your original nature/self.

[templetao]

Only the awaken shen can awaken the original power.

 

Ill bring up this point. When the gate is fully opened then you will stay in a permanent state of balance.

 

So when you awaken your original virtue. At first it wont radiate all the time. You will focuse on your dantian and it will charge you up and send a powerful buzz thru out your whole body. In time this will get easier. So you will strengthen this power feeding it.

 

to explain this i have to explain what dantan is.

 

Dan means fusion of sun and moon -aka original virtue

Tien means field

 

The ideogram for this looks like a candle.

 

The flame is dan and the tien is the wax.

 

Meaning the field feeds or fuels the flame.

 

So when the dan is awakened it is fed by the tien or chi field that comes from continuing to practice.

 

Now this is done so your Virtue can handle the difference of power the source. When you connect your Yuan chi to the source it is so powerful that you will be barley able to hold on to it. This is the next big thing. So im talking about opening the inner gate keeping it open for as long as you can as pure current from the source.

[templetao]

Now which chikung masters makes it to this level? little very very few due mainly to misinformation.

 

To find a method like this find a wuji method of chikung that deals with bringing energy from the source out. Then train in the one that offers the most/deepest training.

 

A wuji method trains you to be able to handle the energy from the source.

[templetao]

i urge you dont chase yang chi and mistake the stream for the source.

[templetao]

Know this as you brighten as you ascend all the lines connected to you brighten.

 

Know that karma is only the effect of the presence of virtue in the universe.

 

Virtue ascends and attracts those moving towards it will cause those who are moving away from it to repel themselves - it will cause them to move further away from it. =karma - This keeps the pure - pure, only until the those moving away from it decides to return. But Virtue being the force that balanced yin and yang will bring those moving away from it back to itself.

 

We are the yin and yang working it self back to the source. Virtue will reach out to us if we only move closer to it.- Understand.

[templetao]

To move away from virtue is to move closer to darkness but this will cause the light of virtue to shine more brightly as a torch to guide you and to remind you of the path.

[templetao]

A Yuan chi method just restores the original virtue it may or may not reconnect you to the source so if you find a master in this be sure to question the method and find out.

 

The light body technique that makes your body lighter. Is only due to the fact that your body is being rewired to fuel itself from the ldt its just a more pronounced full body power. Now during this training you will get the power of jing dont be confused or concerned by this for these are only blips on the radar along the path.

[templetao]

Now what i said should seem obvious but it is like i said. If you were not looking for the source and moving towards it then it wont reach out to you. Others are more concerned about power or yang chi. Due to either control power or being deluded into thinking that attaining the source is beyond their means.

 

So i guess John Chang was right - we all approach life in a way that reveals who we really are.

 

But know this in the end virtue will find you. It will either purge you by the fire of your desire to burn away the impurties so you hit rock bottom and to make the light of virtue obvious and brighter or for others the choice to go to it will manifest out of the blue like lightning.

[Seth Ananda]

Thanks for all the time you took to write this templetao.

[Jeff]

Thank you for the guiding words.

 

[GrandmasterP]

Thank you for taking the time to post that information.

[templetao]

Sure anytime thanks guys,

 

Virtue calls us back to the source. So in the way of the same practitioners do so as well. It is Tao's work. - Tao Gong

 

but this goes into things like a taoist priest extending his virtue to heal the sick and so on. The Yuan chi came before yin and yang.

 

It can bypass duality (yin and yang) remember karma is the presence of virtue in the universe.

 

Understand that once one chooses to ascend and decided to follow the path of heavenly virtue he leaves karma behind. You cant ascend thru the karma path like some seem to suggest unless you have enough good karma to do but even then if you were going to explain it like that that is just the tao reaching out to you.

 

let me explain

 

Virtue is beyond yin and yang. For it came before. It is only thru virtue that the ascension can take place. So unity fusion and so on is all the same thing it is just the removing of that which keeps you form the supreme ultimate. What did god tell John Chang in the magus of Java he said that he wasnt clean enough to come to him. You must be pure in body mind and spirit this holds true in all inner traditions thru out the world.

 

The tao is the wuji that came to balance yin and yang. So for life and things to manifest and for yin to transmute to yang it must pass thru this network. For anything to have a balance of yin and yang and to hold on to it or maintain it it must have this virtue or part of this network in it for it is the wuji the balance of yin and yang before it separated

 

Time is the force that lets you be you. Time is of yin yang (duality) Virtue is beyond yin yang so it is beyond time. - Understand

 

Taoism is about holding onto to your virtue after death for this virtue is life.

 

I wanted to make this point before i forgot it. You cant come into contact with virtue and remain unchanged. You can either connect to it or not.

 

The path is about going home and stop being the rebelling fire burning yourself out. - Understand

 

Back to alchemy and inner power guys (sorry started to branch off into other things)

 

This is the truth if you can tap into the original virtue in you then you can control and use your yin and yang chi. For it is thru this virtue that yin and yang is balanced organized and controlled. Remember yin cant transtion to yang without passing thru this virtue and they cant remain in balance out this virtue.

 

This is the methods i have seen that you may come across.

 

1. There are methods that restore your original virtue and then thus opening the gate and then work on accessing the power of the tao.

 

2. Others work on opening the gate temporarily bringing energy in from the source and circulating it in the body thus making the body handle more and more energy each time.

 

but understand that each path leads to having fully opening your connection to the source.

[templetao]

The other side of Yuan chi is destiny. It is the destiny of the original virtue to exist forever just like it always has. So you connect to it and share its destiny.

 

I forgot to bring this point up that when yin and yang goes to manifest something they come together when this happens this opens a door to the tao and then the manifestation will come thru via the network of the tao.

 

If you working your way back to the tao via the orignal virtue and if you are having a problem for some reason then it maybe due to the mind energy or spirit isnt pure. So if your mind and energy is right then it may be a matter of the spirit. To fix this you have to have a spiritual connection to your practice.

[templetao]

With the transmutation of inner power has transmuted to the shen level then along with your energy can project your spirit. At the jing level you project your yi at the shen level you can project your shen and yi.

[templetao]

So there is the water method the fire method the air method and the earth method.

 

The air method keeps you in a balanced state, charges you, and purifies you.

 

The earth method deals with connecting to the current of power in the earth and using that to charge yourself up. So you would use the earth to charge you up and purify yourself.

 

Fire burns away the impurities

 

Water cleanses you as well.

 

Every type of neikung deals with an element. All trying to get back to the source.

 

Id also like to make this point as well. Once you connect to your original power/virtue.

 

You are not longer doing methods you may know to generate inner power you are beyond that now you know have to prepare and strengthen your inner power to connect to the source of all power.

[JohnC]

Know this as you brighten as you ascend all the lines connected to you brighten.

 

Know that karma is only the effect of the presence of virtue in the universe.

 

Virtue ascends and attracts those moving towards it will cause those who are moving away from it to repel themselves - it will cause them to move further away from it. =karma - This keeps the pure - pure, only until the those moving away from it decides to return. But Virtue being the force that balanced yin and yang will bring those moving away from it back to itself.

 

We are the yin and yang working it self back to the source. Virtue will reach out to us if we only move closer to it.- Understand.

 

Underlined because of awesome.

[templetao]

I forgot to add to my last post that no matter if your doing a fire earth water or air method the whole goal is to connect to the source.

 

So there are different methods out and it is all good they are all trying to accomplish the same thing.

 

Alchemy and immortality is to share in the destiny of virtue. - Remember this

 

I know out of all that i said that people will only remember what they find important to them at that time. In this way and many others the tao is perfect.

Edited November 10, 2012 by templetao

[templetao]

Internal power as typical as fa jing all the way to virtue of course its listed in the first post on this thread.

[templetao]

Connecting your power to the source of all power basically means surrendering. The power is intelligent so your tapping into this inner intelligence. Yin and Yang must pass thru this power over time. So this brings us to moving meditation. Moving meditation is to tap into this inner intelligence to move in a way that balances yin and yang that strengthens your original power over time leading to connecting to the source. Whether this is spontaneous or not does not matter. Spontaneous movements let the inner intelligence decide the best way to move to balance yin and yang and to strengthen itself. Controlled moving meds are meds that already know how the inner intelligence works.

 

let me make this point clear the inner intelligence once tapped into and allowed to flow will flow in a way to connect to the tao for it is a small piece of the tao.

 

Moving meds are advance teachings that teach you how to tap into the inner intelligence and move with the tao. So moving meds are art of surrendering to the flow of the tao and fusing with it. Like a drop of water returning to the river.

 

Let me explain this a bit better.

 

You do neikung and reconnect to your original source of power. So when you bring your mind to your ldt it charges you up.

 

So now you do moving meditation to better tap into that power and once you can do that it will guide you in your movements. It is now sending a powerful buzz thru your whole body.

 

So time goes on and then all of a sudden your doing the form and something grabs you and moves you as you do in a way like never before this is the beginning... So you continue to practice and this continues to happen then one day out of the blue a jolt manifests from your dantian and goes thru out your whole body. This current is different and not like before. Now this happens as you do the form now but only when you do the form. In time you will be able to manifest the same level of power that you do during the moving med.

So having that covered lets go into immortality.

 

It is the destiny of virtue to exist forever for it came before time before duality.

 

This is about union of the mind and original virtue and your original virtue to source of all virtue.

 

The better your chi flows the stronger of the connection you will have with the virtue. When your chi flow is disturbed long enough your virtue will leave you and you will die.

 

The taoists of old would connect to their original power and become real humans. There minds returned and fused with the original source of all power. Now if the taoist died at this stage of his life. He can follow this virtue back to the source.

 

If the taoist continues to live he will continue to cultivate and connect his virtue to the source and work on fusing his shen to the source. From that point the taoist would work on becoming a vessel of pure tao energy or virtue. Meaning the separation of tao and his body is becoming less and less. if this is achieved this means his whole being has been transmuted into virtue.

 

He can then fade away and enter the tao as himself. His virtue will never leave him he is virtue.

 

So it is achieved in

mind

then spirit

and finally in body

 

So lets take this back to the level of alchemy.

 

this is the ascension

 

1. Connect to chi, balance it bring and it back to the center.

2 Restore the original power.

3.Surrender to the flow and let your power merge with the source of all power

4 let the tao flow thru you and flow with it until there is no separation between you and the tao.

 

The role of moving meditation is to teach you about the tao, to further tap into your inner intelligence, and to turn your whole body into an elixer field so if can feed and grow your dan until you become dan.

[templetao]

if you connect your mind to your original virtue then you can follow it after death and still continue to cultivate virtue.

[Shagrath]

Just to be clear by virtue you mean "Virtue (Latin: virtus, Ancient Greek: ἀρετή "arete") is moral excellence. A virtue is a positive trait or quality deemed to be morally good and thus is valued as a foundation of principle and good moral being. Personal virtues are characteristics valued as promoting collective and individual greatness. The opposite of virtue is vice."

 

Is there any other context of virtue in Taoism?

Edited November 12, 2012 by Shagrath

[templetao]

Virtue has many meanings. But virtue is actually a real something just like yin and yang can be solely concepts but they exist in nature too.

[Shagrath]

Yeah but does virtue in taoism mean exactly the same thing as in for example Christianity or does is have a different meaning like consciousness, flow state, etc? Are they compassion, moderation and humility?
