What a wonderful opportunity.

I’ll be on the east coast during this time, but I would definitely participate if I were closer…

The five element composition I believe can be read as various forces in tension. For instance, a weak day master element will always tend to make you more wealthy.

Can you define some of the terms you use and “how” they relate to the Chinese calendar, which is not the same as the western calendar. And it does not really relate to planets like Western astrology and astronomy?

True. Chinese astrology seems to be guided by the principle Lao tzu mentions in chapter 25 of the Tao Te…[Read more]

“Where the mind goes, the chi flows.”

As for yours second question, vedic astrological tradition is vast. Those more inclined to reduce things to their essences (as I often do in my work) would probably have little trouble accepting the Taoist view of the planets as…[Read more]

The day master represents the stellar resonance of the moon. The location and spiritual vector (direction AND velocity) of the individual astral body within the collective field of stellar mind.

The year master marks where within the “seasons of the human collective” your soul enters the drama (it is defined by the wood-earth…[Read more]

Hi Michael,

Do you have an alchemical explanation for why this is?

You’re pulling up the jing too hot and it’s getting stuck in the head because you’re only circulating chi in the microcosmic orbit.

TIPS:

#1 Try to exert yourself less when testicle breathing. Ideally, the jing hits the occiput (the back of the neck) chilly, cooling the head.

#2 Work on moving the jing…[Read more]

What difference is there between creating one’s own Immortal Embryo, and creating an Immortal Embryo for another?

I suppose the difference would be not the substance or vibration of the body (neutral force, of course, of course) but the centering of the body. The real difficulty would be centering the new golden perfect body at the…[Read more]

From this perspective, time as we experience it in the solar system is our name for the process of the earth and sun vibrating at each other, singing into each other. The sun’s side of the polarity we call the future, the the earth’s side is the past. When gathering and…[Read more]
