Biophotonics and Shen, Pt.1
In Chinese Medicine, the term shen is used to refer to what is most often translated as spirit. In Chinese culture, this term, shen, can refer to deities or spiritual beings but also to the light of the stars. In it’s universalized form, it may be more akin to what we might think of as […]
Cell Division and the Four Directions
In Daoist metaphyics, as in Pythagoreanism, the manifest world is preceded by number. As you increase in number, you increase in complexity – moving away from the unmanifest (“Heaven”) and into manifestation. The One, the Two, the Three, and so on represent archetectonic forms into which the manifest world conforms as it is expressed by […]
Jingshen and Biogenesis
Let’s jump right to 40,000 feet. As discussed in the blog (particularly here), the phenomenon of life can be thought of as some sort of macro-scale, structured-water, quantum-information-organizing symphony of light, sound, and electromagnetism. It utilizes the natural crystalline properties of water to extract energy from the ether (“quantum vacuum fluctuations”) in order to live […]
Overlapping Models
Taking two bodies of knowledge, two vocabularies, and performing a synthesis between them is the goal of this blog. The two bodies of knowledge offered up for synthesis here are that of daoist cosmology and quantum biology. This synthesis is then used as a framework to approach the realm of healing. In Daoist cosmology we […]
A Glimpse at Universality
It often occurs to me while studying English translations of Daoist alchemical texts that I am a Westerner who can not read or speak the language in which these texts were written. That said, these texts seem to carry a message that transcends the very language from which they sprang into life, much less the […]
Intentional Healing as Music: Auto-Tuning a Symphonic Field
What models do we think with when we approach the subject of intention? What’s the grammar and the syntax of this kind of work? Does it even matter? In this post, you’re going to presented with some food for thought – in the form of an intentional, musical theory of reality. I’m not necessarily positing […]
Fractal-Holographic Principles in the Secret of the Golden Flower
This article is a continuation of my attempt at syncretism in light of the Daoist mysticism and meditative techniques espoused in the Secret of the Golden Flower and other texts. This project seeks to compare Chinese cosmological and ontological concepts with those found in contemporary fringe science topics – most interestingly the fractal-holographic and fluid […]
“The Light of Pure Spirit”, a poem
The following is a composition of mine in the style of Daoist alchemical poetry. Enjoy. “The Light of Pure Spirit” Begin at the beginning For there is nowhere else There is a tiny light In a great lighthouse On an island In the center of Heaven Do you see it? Relax the body and […]
Xing, Ming, and Turning the Light Around
Let’s start with a little literary history. This part may be exceedingly boring to some of you – but for those interested in reading these texts yourself, take note. For those interested strictly in the metaphysics, keep listening. There are currently three English translations of what is known as The Secret of the Golden Flower […]
Zen and the Art of Biophysics
If you’ve ever wondered what the fine-structure fabric of space-time looks like, take a walk on the beach. (Next time you can.) At some critical point in the evolution of scientific understanding – metaphor ceases to be metaphor. Dr. Mae Wan Ho refers to the work of her fellow scientist and teacher Emilio Del Giudice […]
