动静无偏
Movement and Stillness
without Deviation and Inclination
One should move when time to move, one should be still when it is time to be still time.
This is about the right timing of movement and stillness.
This is called ‘the Gong of Purity, Tranquillity and Non-action’.
When movement and stillness are being inappropriate, then the disaster of Yin and Yang flourishing unilaterally ensues. Yin and Yang will be deviated to one side. This is a hidden danger. The reason is the following:
“When movement is in its extreme one must then form stillness.
If one is not tranquil,
Yang flourishes and injures the Spirit.
When stillness is in its extreme one must then form movement.
If one is not moving, Yin flourishes and injures Qi. “
Always in Wu-Ji the two earths intermingle and turn into the jade tablet.
Wu stands for the thoughts; Ji represents perceptions, the spirit feeling and the sixth sense
It draws up an image of Post-Heaven and Pre-Heaven thoughts unifying, the sixth sense merging with the Post-Heaven thoughts, the Pre-Heaven Spirit and Post-Heaven thinking combine into One, congealing into s sphere or circle.
Movement and stillness are cycling; Yin and Yang are revolving.
Yin turns into Yang, Yang turns into Yin.
Without deviation to one side, one is able to obtain the objective.
The ancient people said:
“The world has sufficient innate-nature Gong,
however the life-destiny Gong is deficient.
Even if one is able to nourish
until the Cinnabar Field’s bright moon,
one inevitably will be unable to refine
until to the turtle shrinks and does not lift anymore.
-This is the practice of the Yin Spirit that is so popular in the West-.
The world has sufficient life-destiny Gong,
however the innate-nature Gong is deficient.
Even if one is able to refine
until the turtle shrinks and does not lift anymore,
one inevitably will be unable to nourish
until the Cinnabar Field’s bright moon generates its splendour.
One’s thoughts will fail to reach a higher plane and
one will still die in the end,
but having lived longer than normal people.
Only double cultivation is without deviation. The Gong of innate nature and life-destiny’s are equal in standing. When one’s Skill reaches this point, it means that Yin and Yang face no danger of being inclined to one side, no danger of being out of balance. Therefore there will be no disastrous consequences. Extreme movement and stillness are repeated over and over. The innate nature is the Spirit; the life-destiny is the Qi. Naturally the horse’s Yin, its genitals, hides in the box and the Cinnabar light generates brightness. The Cinnabar Field as if a luminous as the full moon on the 15th day of the lunar month.
There is a saying in Daoism:
“Only cultivating innate-nature without cultivating life-destiny
this is the first error of one’s cultivation practice.
If one only cultivates the ancestral nature
without cultivating the Elixir,
for countless generations it will be difficult
for the Yin Spirit to enter sagehood.
Male-female cultivation is a mistake and misinterpretation of the dual cultivation principle and must be criticized here. The bed-chamber arts are therefore side doors, the unorthodox Dao, the wicked paths and the crooked road.
With those methods one cannot achieve eternal life. One cannot reach the higher dimensions.
Certainly one must protect the body, life comes first. But no Daoist would dare claim that Daoism equates longevity. This is just the way it is taught to commoners in society. Any Daoist would be heavily criticized for exclaiming this statement.
A word of warning at this point:
Anyone who claims to have high Gong of the turtle shrinking must have lost the biological appearance of a man and a woman. If a woman still has large and voluptuous breast and does not have a flat-chest like a child, she is a cheat. If a man has still large genitals at this stage he is a liar. On this level man and woman must have reverted to ‘Centre-People’, not being man or woman anymore, in order to be able speak the truth about having achieved a high Gong.
Therefore this translation serves as a bright light and as a lamp, hopefully preventing people from being hoodwinked and deceived. It is the objective to rescue people from wandering about destitute or even worse being guided into the absurd, fantastic and preposterous. There are many black racketeers out there.
In terms of religion only Daoism proceeds from form to formless. It is unique in that respect and the physical body is considered a tower to the heavens, a ladder to the heavenly realms.
Without a body where would there be life on earth?
Despite the importance of the body, eventually one must have the attachment to one’s Ego broken. If one pursues longevity, the hospital has methods on offer such as hormones or injecting a young person’s blood. In twenty years time DNA changes might be possible and feasible.
But how could you elevate to higher thoughts through injections?
How can you get the compassion of the Buddhist and Daoist Patriarchs and Founding Fathers?
How could you live eternally?
If chanting the names of the Gods and stern faith were enough
to join the ranks of the immortals,
how come not all later generations of believers
enter through the heavenly gate?
