3a. Inner Sexual Alchemy (Lesser Kan & Li)

Week 3: July 5 – 10, 2024

(Fri. 7 pm class thru Wed. at noon)

Inner Sexual Alchemy, or Lesser Enlightenment of Water & Fire

is the Taoist Hermit One Cloud’s 4nd formula (out of 9) for attaining immortality. This formula focuses on attaining Human Immortality through the coupling of the inner male and inner female of the adept.

Human Immortality simply means that you are able to complete your worldly destiny, the purpose for which you incarnated on earth. Your accomplishment, however simple but true, will be recorded in Heaven and live on after your death. A primary obstacle to completing one’s human mission is the sexual split in our soul into male and female halves. This practice integrates the two halves into a single functional whole.

This “water and fire” meditation formula is the very core of Taoist alchemy – the inner smile, orbit, healing sounds, healing love and fusion of the 5 elements are all purification stage leading up to this practice.

We gather the Five Shen, polarized male-female “body intelligences” that control our mind. Their love-making in our central channel releases a blissful “steam” of Original Chi (unconditional love) that dissolves our old physical body and personality.

This process repairs vital organ, gland, spine, nerve, lymph and
meridian systems, and births an “immortal embryo” or light body.
Can resolve deep sexual crises, genetic illness, body-mind
splits, recover “lost” soul fragments. Gods Playing In the Cauldron of Original
Chi nei gong (internal qigong form).

Prereq: Fusion 1,2.3 (Winn’s homestudy Fusion training course is accepted). At very minimum, Fundamentala 1&2 + Fusion 1 or Healing Love/Tao Sexology is needed.

9 Major Benefits of Inner Sexual Alchemy Audio

Once the Lesser Kan & Li ignites a special alchemical process within your dantian, you will understand that the entire 1st formula – Inner Smile, Healing Sounds, Orbit, Fusion of Five Elements, Healing Love – is just preparation for the Inner Sexual Alchemy of Water & Fire. The 1st Formula practices are highly energizing and enlightening in themselves – yet hindsight will reveal their limits, once the profundity of inner sexual alchemy is grasped. It is impossible for the intellect to feel what is implied by these words; only direct experience can reveal the truth. It is the experience of a deeper dimension of self where ordinary mind cannot easily function.

We need the foundation of the 1st Formula, it is like our best friend. But the 2nd Formula practice is like our spiritual partner that we marry because we know s/he is the right one to carry our child. It requires a similar long term commitment to raise up our Immortal Child to become an Inner Sage. It is the core process the 2nd formula that ignites spiritual pregnancy. From this orgasmic inner opening spontaneously unfolds the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th alchemy formulas, up to the 7th formula of Union of Human & Tao.

9 Major Benefits of Lesser Enlightenment of Water & Fire:

1. Shift your functional level of consciousness to include your formless soul. The Five vital organ spirits of heart-mind (xin) transmute into the Three primal soul forces (ling). These Three forces – Primal Water, Primal Fire, and Primal Earth – produce the Golden Elixir, the divine seed-egg, our Immortal Embryo, that will mature into our Inner Sage. Learn the difference between mind enlightenment and spiritual immortality. How the five shen continue to function in the post-natal (physical) realm simultaneously while the three soul forces mediate chi flow to and from the pre-natal (formless) realm.

2. Experience a higher spiritual level of sexual practice inside your body: “self-intercourse” between your inner male and inner female. In effect, enjoy as much sex with your “perfect inner lover” as your heart desires. Simultaneously resolve the deep and universal human identity crisis: the split between male and female mind-bodies. Complete lifetime(s) of unfinished sexual relationships – a huge claim to make, but possible when you begin changing yourself at the level of essence (jing). Learn to re-direct the unconscious habit – of suppressing, scattering, or projecting sexual energy – into cultivating your original androgynous self.

3. Practical secrets of quickening the “pregnancy” and rebirthing phase of the true self (“immortal embryo”). Give substance to an authentic self (zhenren) that seems to arise out of nowhere. Embodiment of our true self is initially experienced thru its three-fold power as:

a. Original Essence (yuan jing) – inner steam.

b. Original Breath (yuan chi) – inner light.

c. Original Spirit (yuan shen) – inner sound.

4. Circulate a golden elixir as the “internal medicine” – the true microcosmic orbit. Acquire the power to change yourself at the genetic level of your deep jing (essence) within the bone marrow and blood. Opens possibility to heal chronic illness at the pre-natal (= stem cell) level, including genetically inherited diseases. How to “power steam” the macro-cosmic orbit (8 Extraordinary Vessels of Fusion 2/3). Numerous bio-energetic applications improve heart circulation, strengthen lymph/immune system, and clear deep, superficial meridian, and vital organ blockages.

5. Clarify issues of different time zones (linear, cyclical, eternal) that our different subtle bodies live in. How reincarnation really works, why it exists and why past lives are not important, only the present moment. What can happen at death to our core soul aspects; whether they stay “married” or separate. How to manage hungry ghosts that may show up in our space, attracted by inner light in eye of your kan & li cauldron.

6. Gain the ability to dissolve your worst Inner Demons without any resistance or struggle, using the Black Pearl meditation I’ve developed in recent years. Demons are mostly the shadow side of our five shen. They have no defense from Kan and Li process, which functions at a deeper level of psychic structure. Secret of dissolving demons with permanent results: work from the inside out, and show your demons how to complete their genuine spiritual needs.

7. Transform and refine your innate spiritual powers/virtues. False Yin (self- contraction) and False Yang (over-expansion) can be dissolved by the neutral force released from the reversal of Primal Water and Primal Fire. True-Yin-within-Yang Water and True-Yang-within-Yin Fire emerge from hidden soul layers within our body-mind. Explanation using I Ching trigram symbols. Cultivation of these inner essences allows rapid healing, true soul expression, and gradual development of inner wisdom.

8. Open pathways of communication between three dimensions of the whole self: the Original Spirit, the pre-natal soul, and your post-natal (physical) self. How the human soul is binary in nature: polarized male-female on horizontal plane, heaven-earth or formless-form polarized on its vertical axis. Why a third integrated self – our Inner Sage – must be cultivated to resolve the split between left & right brains/selves. Exercising the Inner Eye/Neutral Observer at different levels of core channel (navel up to crown) makes this communication practical in the physical plane.

9. Gods Play in Cauldron of Original Chi qigong form supports the kan & li process and makes it much easier to initiate spontaneous deep meditation. This powerful six movement form activates the creation and counter-creation cycles, the primal coupling of Fire & Water, and opens the relationship between neutral core and exterior yin-yang aspects of the body/personality.

Praise for Lesser Kan & Li Retreat:

I’ve taken Lesser Kan & Li three times. Within several months of daily practice after taking it the first time, my life was transformed. The cosmic energy field is now a loving friend and ally, no longer an abstract concept or even a hostile, uncaring force. All the other Healing Tao courses that I’ve taken (tai chi, tao yin, iron shirt, chi nei tsang, and the higher inner alchemy formulas) synergistically empower my Lesser Kan & Li practice. JB, Atlanta

I reviewed Lesser Enlightenment of Kan and Li with Michael Winn, and it was a very powerful experience. I even blacked out one morning for the first time in over 12 years while we were doing group Qigong….! So I know the practices were bringing me to a great depth internally, unearthing issues from the past for resolution.

I consider these workshops to be the most powerfully transformative tools available to me. I have the distinct awareness this is the first time in many centuries or millennia, if ever, that my blood line has had access to practices of this nature. I feel blessed to be at a time in the world where I can cultivate myself with such refined tools, without fear of persecution or the need to live apart from society.

The workshop was powerfully transformative. Priceless. I feel like I can tune into the feeling of being in the workshop anytime I need to. I felt a strong sense of community with others at the workshop, and it was a joy to meet others on their road to healing and cultivation. I will be back next summer to review and renew! – B. Jordan
