In days of yore, the Daoists of China met with sages across the world, to formulate a theory, and a set of exercises that would uplift people into a divine state of existence. These teachings were in essence present in all ancient systems of thought, but the perspectives from which it were seen were different. In the assembly held in deep, hidden caves of the Himalayas, the theories and thoughts of the sages were collated.

2 The human being has a soul, which is beyond death, and beyond birth. It always existed. The awareness of this soul is what is sought in spiritual endeavour. The physical body, is one layer of a multidimensional body. All these layers may form and disappear – these atomic bodies, are mortal, while the soul is immortal. The soul in delusion, identifies the formation and death of these bodies as life and death of itself. Spiritual effort forms the body in substance from the soul plane. This plane is described as the UnCreate, in ancient Buddhist thought, the Unborn, in ancient Indian, and the Eternal, for the Daoists. Spiritual effort may also be so directed, that the awareness of the physical is discarded for the awareness of the Unborn, Eternal.

3 These exists a supreme being, described as Ekam, the One, in the Vedas. The ancient India text the Gita, describes the One. The ancient Christian poem, “The Inexpressible One,” in the Apocryphon of John – a highly respected text in original ancient Christianity, describes the One. Amongst the Greeks, the writings of Plotinus, the works of Hermes, all described the One. The One is beyond the Universe, is beyond all being, and yet all that exists, exists in the One.

4 Nature performs all action in the Universe. The Individual Soul, observes, and being in delusion things it is the doer, says the Gita. Different possibilities fall in place, depending on what is observed. And each possibility, is offered by Nature itself.

5 Gong is the name given to several ideas in ancient thought. One, it is a reference to Mercury. The Unborn planes appear as a bright silver flow. Thus, of what is of those planes, is named Gong. The ancient Chinese character for it shows a pillar, symbolizing the spine, and underneath it a flow. The perception often appears at the top of the head, as a Silver Sparkle, it may as well be anywhere in the seven spinal Chakras, the Heart or anywhere in the body. The Spinal is to be filled with the Flow, and the whole body follows. When the perception travels deep into own body, the Gong, or Silver is found.

6 The awareness evolves what it holds. The Silver is thus held in the awareness, and evolved as one with the body.

7 Nature which turns like a while with infinite possibilities, generates in each being the deep and profound push to action. This impulse arises from beyond the plane of emotions. Engaging own Dharma, the Sanskrit word for the Primordial driving of action, sparks awareness of the Silver planes. The awareness is to be absorbed there, in the Silver.

8 Great forms in which the world Evolves such as Love, War, Study are all the Universe in function. Human action sets the Universe in play here- and that action, is the spiritual path. Own Dharma acted on with awareness of the Silver generated, is the path. While Own Dharma forms the path, engaging what is not Own Dharma is destructive. As the universe forms the being in action, the Individual’s own action-impulse is the path of that Individual being.

9 A soulful peace exists as one’s actions are driven by own Dharma. The Dharma impulse arises beyond the matter of the universe, and thus is not driven by an outward idea, the emotional aggregates, etc. The action and sense organs being Naturally in alignment with Dharma, activated in the performing of action, generate the awareness of the Silver. Perception, as it bonds the aggregates of perception with the observing Silver plane, generates awareness of the Silver. Thus, we find ancient statues of the Buddha,, in which the hand gesture has two fingers in touch. The mudras of yoga are for generating the perception. The yoga in itself refers to action, the state in which one is bonded to the Wheel of action, own Dharma, as a whole.

10 In Spiritual endeavor, one protects one’s space. The Vital of the body is to be protected. Vital in joyous upward evolution along the spine, generates perception of the deeper. Marriage, and Family, are Sacred endeavors in form. The vital is preserved in the virtuous form of Love, which manifests as marriage and devotion. In ancient ages the evolved humans never approached a state in which the vital were disrupted. The act of Love, never proceeded to the state of neuroanatomical disruption, which results in the loss of Vital in the surface and deeper human bodies. The act is done such that awareness enters the Silver Soul planes, and does not proceed outwardly into the disruption, and the end of the act of Love. When there is Virtue, then Love forms a path up to a plane.

BOOK TITLE
11 The exercises of any physical practice may be understood as generating the rising fountain up the spine, evolving the Silver, the Mercury up the Spine, and from the absolute into the Human frame. The joining of hands, the overlapping of palms, all are for the purpose of performing seals with the absolute, the Silver. The seal binds body, all perception, Silver, as One.
