PEACE, According to Hexagram 11 (T'AI) of the I Ching
PEACE, According to Hexagram 11 (T'AI) of the I Ching, the Receptive tends to descend and merge with new influences. The luminous principle is within, at the tip of a needle, but accessible within each one. In a decisive position, Darkness exerts influence, but from the outside. While bad elements change for the better and shadows submit to the needle of moments, the body protects itself from such influences and governs itself tantrically in a Bon self-appropriation. 則 zé: “Therefore, then, thus”. 是 shì: “It is, identical (copulation); correct”. 交 jiäo: “Relationship, negotiation; crossing”. 通 töng: “To move freely without impediment; to pass through; to communicate”.The Nine in the second place means: ''A mighty profusion of phenomena. A broad influence of purposes. And also: To bear kindly with uneducated people, To cross the river with determination, To neglect not the distant, To privilege nothing---thus, says the Sage, Even unproductive material can find its use, Even the most severe scruples can ward off partisanship in hours of inhospitable mutations. Then follows the decency of controlled Evil, a certain state of total attention.交 jiäo: “Relationship, negotiation”. SIX in the fourth place: “He flies down without boasting. With others, sincere and without malice. Deep feelings emerge under the pressure of circumstances. Spontaneity thus completes some decrees of Fortune, preventing the use of armies. 裁 cái ‘to divide’. This gloss is 成 chéng: “To accomplish, complete, perfect, achieve”. yí: “Correct, proper, just, to arrange; convenient, to put in order”. / 左 zuô: “Left”. 右 yòu: “Right”.
Nature requires the methods of the middle path, but neither inspiration nor beauty lies in the middle: this means that the middle, as a balance, does not diminish, but affirms the TENSION OF ENERGY. What we call NIRVANA is the same thing, this middle is not a low vibration, but a balance of high tension.

The tension of psychic energy increases the vital capacity!
The text on line 2 says: ‘’THE AXLES OF THE CHARIOT HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF’’. (The Wisdom of the I Ching, Mutation and Permanence, Richard Wilhelm) ‘’and may he be successful who has not killed within himself this force of tension that rejects danger and puts it aside, in order to overcome it. This is a valuable and sacred gift that we should defend, because only he who has not killed this treasure within himself is eternally young. (Richard Wilhelm, The Wisdom of the I Ching) These efforts start from a thorough introspective observation of the processes of life and the factors that promote or limit it. It seems that blood life or the life that flows through the blood plays an important role (IDEM) ‘’For this reason, the secret religions of the East advocate a method whose purpose is to prolong life by revitalizing the blood, freeing it from its impurities, sediments and barriers
ResponderExcluir(IDEM) Chinese alchemy is a psychic technique (IDEM) We know that attention is subject to our will (IDEM) Because, as long as attention is not directed, it lacks strength. Only coherent and directed attention constitutes, when concentrated, a force, something effectively creative in psychic life. And this attention would have to be concentrated in the vital centers within the system of activities that maintain the circulation of the blood, so that these centers react, awaken, set in motion and act; and thus, life begins to flow again’’ (IDEM) In any case, the image that stimulates attention must have the power of attraction. This is the magic of the act of meditation (IDEM)

ResponderExcluirExercising energy is always very useful, because each test awakens a new quality in it. IT IS ESPECIALLY NECESSARY TO KEEP THIS IN MIND. I have already spoken about fatigue and indisposition during the process of energy accumulation. However, the possibility of fatigue resulting from this should not mean that energy redistribution experiments are undesirable, because it is a matter of practice to learn how to exercise energy at a high level without becoming exhausted. Our energy also needs to be exercised, like everything else in life. By practicing the experiments of energy accumulation and redistribution rationally, fatigue decreases. Each accumulation of energy must be tested in action, because it must flow through the practitioner. Even the muscles must be properly exercised, so that people must constantly exercise the energies dormant within them. You must understand this awakening as the highest duty of a human being before the higher worlds. There are many reasons why energies can remain in a dormant state. They can be enumerated starting with the karmic effects, but usually people's consciousness remains dull and atrophied throughout their lives simply because of indolence. This quality is called the soft bed of EVIL.
ResponderExcluirDoubt corrodes everything. Self-pity weakens even the strongest of spirits. Such an introduction to the mysteries should be given as a warning to those who wish to put the psychic energy within themselves into action.

All experiments with psychic energy help discipline. It is necessary to recognize DISCIPLINE as a HEALTHY RHYTHM of interaction with the UNIVERSE.

An experiment of accumulation or redistribution of energy that has already begun can be interrupted. Any compulsion over energy is contrary to NATURE. Let us recall experiments with photographs. If the first photo is not good, the undisciplined consciousness is disappointed. But where there is disappointment, no experiment is possible. Many conditions can interfere with the first attempts. Pusillanimity will suggest that one should not continue with investigations and experiments.
The best service you can render to those who enter experimental philosophy is not to teach them the procedure and the result, but to transmit to them that spirit of divination by which they can suspect, so to speak, unknown procedures, new experiments and surprising results.
ResponderExcluirDenis Diderot, Thoughts on the Interpretation of Nature
Post Scriptum
This spirit of leaving the COMFORT ZONE and seeking what everyone avoids and learning to feel comfortable in activities or situations where the average person would not even dream of sticking his nose in. It can be concluded that we human beings renounce our energetic independence by joining a herd in order to avoid certain things. We spend our entire lives striving to please the opinions of a herd. When someone VOLUNTARILY exposes himself to those things that the herd avoids and seeks to suppress the comfort, the opinions of the herd are put in checkmate and energetic independence no longer seems impossible. It's simple, we just need to look autonomously and independently at the things that the herd has conditioned us to hate and fear. If we do this and manage to maintain a certain constancy and firmness of our conscience in this superior human condition, SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN.
