A DIVINE DANCE UP THE MIDDLE PILLAR

I wanted to share one of my personal meditations with you all to demonstrate how versatile the journey within is. Every single one of us Internalizes wisdom differently. What one person does might not work for someone else. So let’s delve into a mediation on the middle pillar

NEW SCHOOL

-Will (imagination)

-Sex (desire)

-Thought (creation)

These are the modern version \s of a very old idea. Napoleon Hill described them in great detail in his book Think And Grow Rich. I doubt many people grasp the concept of what he’s talking about, but still; you have to respect the man for teaching these spiritual lessons so plainly. He urges people who put this philosophy to use do so with the INTENTION of helping humanity. Intention being more important than action when it comes to inner transformation.

OLD SCHOOL

Sulphur (animal)

Mercury (vegetable)

Salt (material)

Mercury mediates between sulphur and salt. Vegetable works to achieve, or create the mystical experience. This first stage is preparation. 

In the second stage, soft female mercury makes love to hard, rigid sulphur (animal lust). Seed plants a burning desire that salt materializes. The third eye opens and the Kingdom is realized. 

INTERPRETATION

This is what Napoleon Hill calls the mystery of sex transmutation in a round about sort of way. Alchemists refer to it as the chemical wedding.Taoists call it the Three Dantians. Either way this is alchemy at it’s core. The concept is simple enough. We are to transmute our selfish sexual desire into living spiritual practice. Occultists call it the law of the triangle and use it to bend the material world to their will. I personally submit my will to the will of my Heavenly Father and have allowed myself to be renewed in Spirit. 

Once again choice factors in and it’s how we decide to use a particular practice that actually matters. INTENTION is more important than action. As Meister Eckhart said “find the why behind all desires.” Wisdom guided my steps and communing with the Holy Spirit is not something I would deprive anyone of. Go direct to the source or don’t go at all. The choice is yours. Hopefully this nudges you in the right direction. Take care.

TAOIST ALCHEMY

The three Dantians are energy centers in the human body. These energy centers are used to transmute the three Treasures. The Chinese labeled as Jing, Chim and Shen. These three tools are used in the process of inner Alchemy, or in a transformation. The ancient Taoist tradition of purifying the mind, body and soul is much more direct than its Western counterpart. This is due largely to the fact mysticism wasn't accepted spiritual practice in the east as to where Western versions were considered heresy.

Taoist broke down the concepts into two branches labeled Waidan (outer) and Neidan (inner). Neidan or Jindan was often called the Golden Elixir, and is a spiritual discipline used to transmute subtle body energies and ultimately build an immortal spiritual body that survives death. Inner Alchemy transforms our Spirits until they express pure and radiant energy without use of external agents.

I hope this is enough to spark your interest in Taoist Alchemy. Please feel free pass this knowledge on to anyone interested and inner transformation. Thank you for your time.
