TESTIMONIAL 49:

 

Hello Friends,

 

The first time I heard anything about the term Hu Fa Shen was around 3 years ago, when my younger daughter, Galina, shared with me that she had planned to attend an “initiation.”

 

To be frank, my first thought was, what the hell is that, some kind of sect?! 

 

I should mention that we don’t live close together. Galina lives in London while I live in Rome, Italy.

 

As a consequence of certain life events, we were separated and forced to live far from each other, as with her sister, Borislava; a fact which has caused much suffering, at least for me.

 

Back to the initiation. I've never prevented my children from realising their wishes and chasing their dreams, because they're incredibly smart and responsible individuals with open minds, and as far as I'm concerned, there's nothing worse than clipping your children's wings on account of your own fear of flight.

 

Some time after Gali had been paired with her Hu Fa Shen and had commited herself to the practice, we met during a visit she paid me. I asked her then how she felt. I wanted to know if it's real. To know if it really exists; and she invoked her Hu Fa Shen in my presence.

 

Honestly, It was difficult to be convinced by what I was witnessing and I didn't believe it much. It seemed to me like the movements she was making were her own or that she was influenced by some form of suggestion, yet, on the other hand, secretly; I wished that it was true and that there really was a "Guardian Angel", who would look after and over her in those moments when I myself couldn't.

 

And so the years passed. Circumstances happened to change and I found out that a new initiation event is going to be taking place. I decided that it was time for me to also "get" my "Guardian Angel", even though the doubt still existed and I was convinced that all this could be explained as some form of psychological suggestion. I couldn't bring myself to believe that all the things Gali told me about could be true. It simply went against my logic.

 

And so, the day came. I made the journey to London where we also met my older daughter, Borislava, and the three of us together started towards the "place."

 

There were a lot of people. Their numbers had surpassed my expectations. They were intelligent people with pure, good hearts and souls.

 

I made the acquaintance of the masters and teachers dressed in yellow and I met Effi; a wonderful man with a deep mind whose face wore the shadows of sufferings triumphed.

 

And so it began. I don't understand English very well, but I could get the gist of it. I was still in disbelief.

 

They talked. It went on for a while, quite a while. They were beautiful words coming from beautiful teachers.

 

At the end of the day, we got initiatied. I felt very little. I was tired and there was little in me left to muster any belief.

 

When we left the event venue I felt a little dizzy and floaty. It felt like I was "swimming" in the air around me as if I was embraced by a cloud.

 

We arrived home and I decided to try again and see if anything would happen. I invited my teacher and to my surprise he arrived.

 

He began to "move" me.

 

I have a lot of problems with my waist and lower back.

 

He began to guide me into Yoga-esque positions which suited my ailments and were consistent with my problems.

 

I started to believe a little...... 

 

On the next day, I practiced again, the doubt still lingering, but he came again, and again and again.

 

I was happy even thought my adamantine logic continued in its failure to explain what I was experiencing or how for that matter.

 

I was happy and felt peace for the first time in years. Apart from when I was a child, I don't think I've ever felt such peace in my life.

I felt light. I looked at people with love. Nothing seemed to irritate me. I loved everyone and felt a love towards myself. I felt strong and unconquerable. It was an incredible feeling.

 

I feel happy.

 

Thank you to the teachers, thank you to Effi and to everyone who made this experience possible.

 

Thank you to my wonderful daughters who are always by my side, and especially, Gali, who was the first of us to discover this light.

 

Thank you to my amazing partner, also, who supported me in this adventure despite his disbelief. I understand you. 

 

I love you all.

Thank you for existing.

I love everyone.

Please Love yourselves!

DAO YING | LONDON, UK | OCTOBER 2019

 

 

 

Da Jia Xue Dao Hao!

 

Hello everyone.

 

Please help me give a warm welcome in congratulating the 23 new Dao Yu who joined our school this weekend, in London, UK - and inherited The Divine Guidance Art; Dao Yin Shu.

Thank you all for joining us. It was a genuine pleasure to meet all of you, hear many of your stories, struggles, passions and triumphs, and to finally be able to put handshakes and embraces to all your profile pictures : )

 

I'd like to especially commend those of you who put the value of consciousness over matter and exercised such commitment by travelling from lands afar - crossing oceans and whole continents to share a space with us in this common investigation of our multidimensional reality.

 

Thank you also for being patient, because I know that many of you have waited for this event for up to 3 years; and I'm happy and humbled to have witnessed you being rewarded in kind for that virtue during your initiation as you connected to your Hu Fa Shen for the first time, but also in the days that followed, where the strength of that relationship was visibly growing stronger as a result of your enthusiastic practice beyond the walls of the venue.

 

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to manifest the grace of the divine within your lives and to execute the eternal mandate of heaven by supporting the evolution of consciousness and providing you with the tools, guidance and direction necessary to bring yourself closer to the subtlety of the consciousness of the Dao.

You are now inheritors of Dao Yin Shu; The Divine Guidance Art of Daoist antiquity

.

You hold within your hands the very fire of spiritual transformation; and under the guidance of those that have already completed the path to mergence, you will, should you choose to, be guided along a journey that can offer you unparalleled spiritual growth and evolution.

 

When you liangong (practice DYS), empty your mind and keep it open, gentle, loving and all embracing.

 

Dissolve into the nurturing flow of your Hu Fa Shen and let him/her guide your consciousness away from the density of this physical realm. Settle yourself into the ocean of stillness where the primordial energy of the Dao exists in its subtlest manifestation. Habituate your consciousness to resonate and exist within that dimension. Let the purity of these realms, enter you and become you and the structure of your soul will gradually become as that of those who reside there, freed of the egoic passions, vices and the karmic responsibility of human existence

.

Learn to function from within that subtlety of stillness, knowing you are it and it is you, for to the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.

Listen to the tenderness of the Dao not with the ears of the body, but with the ears of the heart and allow its quietude to pour into you from every side.

Be diligent in your cultivation.

 

Practice regularly and always remember to exercise your wisdom (Wu) before all things.

 

Tai Shang Bao Yu!

Quote

After speaking with many different practitioners and thinking about this topic quite a lot, it seems to be quite the conundrum. 

 

 

I collectively direct this message to everyone.

You keep discussing stupid shit instead of practising : )

 

There are two major branches to the approach of spiritual cultivation, be it under the umbrella of Daoism or any other culture.

The first is through a direct connection to a Shen and is how it all began. Here the work is primarily Wu Wei.

The second is learning through books or from a living master. Here the work is primarily You Wei.

 

In Wu Wei systems like Xiantian Dao Yin Shu, we don't have to study theory before practice, because Hu Fa Shen directs every movement of energy in the body, be it the physical body, the subtle energy body or the human/divine consciousness. 

 

Think about all the things you need to take into consideration working on your own;

 

Does the energy need to move into this meridian or that?

How do I make sure it doesn't go into the wrong path?

When does it have to do it exactly?

How much should we push inside?

Should the pressure be light or strong?

Where do we pause the movement along the path?

Does the force have to synchronise with the breath?

How long do we keep it there?

Do we bring it all back or divert some of it somewhere else?

What time during the day/night/year should we do it?

Should we use the imagination for this one or should we wait for our spirit to act spontaneously?

How deep should we inhale?

How deep should we exhale?

Should we pause the breath on inhale or exhale?

For how long?

In which direction do we lift the sphincters and at which of the pauses do we do it?

Where is our attention at this time?

etc Ad infinitum.

 

Knowing all the technical details is something that can be mutually exclusive from executing all the technical details during the practice of DYS.

There are times when we have to voluntarily apply pressure in order to increase the force with which energy is moving in a meridian, but the direction is still administered by the Hu Fa Shen.

 

It is like if you have a car.

 

You wash it.

You change the oil.

You change the fuel.

You take it for regular check-ups.

Maybe change the colour sometimes or buy some cool accessories etc.

 

Inviting Hu Fa Shen is like someone taking the driver's seat in your car, while you relax in the passengers seat (most of the time).

You don't even have to help navigate with a map, because Hu Fa Shen knows the way to his home by heart, but the trip is long, so the condition of the car is important.

The tires have to be pumped, tank regularly topped up and you need to have tools to fix anything that needs maintenance or gets broken.

 

Thankfully, HFS is also a professional mechanic : )

 

Don't get me wrong though. DYS practice doesn't always feel like you're just a feather being taken by a gentle current.

We're dealing with a lot of pure energy here that steps down into the system and stars harmonising, and this can cause a great deal of physical reactions when energy starts flowing and stagnated pockets of energy are cleared. You may experience strong gyrating movements and vibrations, spontaneous crying, screaming, yelling, whaling, grunts, snarls, blowing of air in specific sounds, burning sensations, extreme and near unbearable gravity at specific acupuncture points (particularly when they are activated with primordial qi). Honestly the variety of ways in which a persons individual practice can unfold is an endless list that can be compared in its vastness only to the uncountable multitude of individual consciousnesses that inhabit the Dao. Nevertheless, all development by the Shen is direct along the Divine curriculum of our school, which serves to develop the consciousness of the Dao Yu in a manner that will facilitate its resonance with the dimension of the Dao within which the collective consciousness of Tai Shang Laojun and all the Shen in the role of Hu Fa reside.

 

Things just "happen" when you practice XTDYS - and yes, those "things" match up with the things you read in the modern books and the classics, but you don't HAVE to know them, in order for them to happen. In fact, the less you know the better, as your mind's expectations of what it has never experienced or a place it has never been to, ironically enough, tends to cause resistance.

 

Those that make the fastest progress in DYS are those that are most ignorant of the methodologies of internal alchemy.

 

This is the FUNDAMENTAL reason why our tradition as a whole is not particularly popular in literature and by extension in public, because along the course of its history, there was never any pressing reason to communicate or record anything for future disciples to reference. Either you were initiated and therefore could cultivate under the administration of a Shen or you weren't, in which case you needed oral or written instructions from another school. It's really that simple.

 

Li Shifu was just a teenager when an old man came to him and took him as his disciple.

He would go to the forest to meet him there.

After he inherited Dao Yin Shu and had his own family, he transmitted it to them.

The art was transmitted very selectively since the beginning of time.

Our Shifu was granted authority to share it openly.

Today, DYS has been inherited by over 140,000 Daoists, including government ministers, nobility and priests of the major Daoist sects in prominent temples and organisations around the world.

 

We really don't have anything to prove at this point. We're long past that and at a point where it speaks for itself.

In fact, if anything, we should be asking for people to prove to us why they think they deserve to inherit Dao Yin Shu.

 

Quote

From what I've learned there are basically two different types of systems. Traditional systems and Shen systems. 

 

I always find this misunderstanding quite amusing when I come across it, since forms of early shamanistic practice and Daoist thought were already prevalent thousands of years before the time of Laozi; which is what people tend to consider traditional Daoism.
 

Chinese spiritual practice doesn't start with Laozi or even Huang Di. The consciousness of our celestial headmaster, Tai Shang Laojun, and of others, such as the aforementioned, Huang Di, have been presiding over the development of the earth and supporting the evolution of individual beings since the very early beginnings of this planet, when the most basic forms of energy were still in the early stages of coagulating to form the material organism that could facilitate the growth of consciousness through the process of incarnation ie; the crossing of the bridge between Wuji and Taiji.

 

It reminds me of responses I often receive from persons when I'm discussing something like the Huangdi Neijing, Neijingtu, Cantongqi or the Wuzhen Pian.

They say, look at this non-traditional new age stuff 

 

Anyway. I'm just thinking out loud so please don't take anything personally  - It is just that most people's history doesn't go back far enough to realise that often, their idea of "traditional" IS actually, in many cases, the new-age stuff they are referring to.

 

Nevertheless, I am only making this statement to raise to view the dichotomy of this perspective. In reality, Daoism is an evolving one and during the course of time the Shen have also made adjustments to accommodate and harmonise with the cultural and technological development of human civilisation. They don't just stick to one thing unintelligently.

 

Daoism isn't just what we can read in texts.

It's happening right now, everywhere, and if you continue to look back to the past you will miss what is taking place right in front of you.

 

All the masters whose texts you read and methods you practice to call yourself a Daoist, are alive, still teaching and among us always as disembodied consciousness who enter and exit Taiji to help us draw ourselves closer to them by the condition of our consciousness., in so doing, going deeper into the subtle dimensions of the Dao.

The Shen follow the heartbeat of the Dao and support us all in our evolution. In fact, they are the heartbeat of the Dao.

 

And I'll tell you something funny, many of the Shen do not look upon their texts and produced works with the same religiousity and drunken reverence that we often do.

Some even have said, hmm, I could probably have written that a little better and I'd probably explain that in a different way to the humans of today!

 

Search for the Dao in the present moment which is the most current culmination of all wisdom. It is not in the past.

 

Do you remember when Confucius went to meet Laozi all dressed up fancy with elaborate robes, wanting to have a discussion about etiquette and ceremonial customs; citing those from the past and Laozi cut him off abruptly and told him, all the masters you speak of are dead in their graves, you cannot learn wisdom from the ancients and a swan does not need to bathe daily to remain white.

 

There are some interesting lessons worth contemplating there.

 

Quote

 

The first is the traditional Jing -> Qi -> Shen cultivation path.

 

According to the traditions I've looked into it is based around firstly changing the body to make it a fit vehicle for later spiritual work. For instance, one way of looking at this schematic (in my preliminary understanding) would be something like: 

 

1. Conditioning and preparing the physical body, herein both stretching the body, learning how to hang muscles and align the body properly, how to "sink the Qi" and eventually connecting/changing the entire fascia system. Usually takes many years of work just to get this step right to my understanding. This is a state of vibrant physical health already and there won't be coarse physical issues in my understanding. 
2.  Beginning the stage of jing to Qi, wherein jing is first stilled and consolidated. Usually, in my understanding, the 100 day virgin boy training or also known as the 100 day foundation. 
3. Awakening/building the LDT, which becomes an actual physical structure that moves and twists in your lower abdomen and is now an actual physical structure that also holds immense energetic properties. 
4. Microcosmic orbit
5. Then movement of yang qi and yin qi and the mixing of fire and water
6. Qi to Shen (leading to "white moon on the mountain peak")
7. Shen stage where the yin-shen is created and erupts from the crown and then needs to learn how to move and behave independently from the body. This is said to take a long time before it is fully matured and is done in retreat and away from society. 

 

On the other hand, we have systems that go the completely opposite way. 

 

They say forget about the body, forget about physical body transformation, none of that is really most important part. You should directly work on the Shen stage from the beginning, then everything will follow nicely and your body will remain healthy and even transform to stay healthy. They say that the body is completely impermanent so spending time creating physical structures inside it like a physical dantien is not necessary nor helpful for spiritual cultivation, you're really only interested in getting to the Shen stage so you can begin refining your spirit immediately since that is the only thing that lasts and that you can take with you upon death.

 

On top of this, these types of schools also claim that you're basically skipping decades of hard gruelling jing -> qi -> shen work where every aspect of your physical and emotional nature is changed. According to them, you simply get to the last stage immediately and then everything is refined much faster that way.  

 

So, my question is basically, are they just deluding themselves? Which of the systems is correct? Are they both correct, and if so, how or why?

 

Thanks 

 

 

 

There's no such thing as a Shen only system or a Jing Qi Shen only system. This is an outrageous proposition and I don't know why people say this.

The 3 Bao are interconnected and interdependent within the complex of the human body. Any event that causes some form of partial disconnection, or better yet put, disharmony between them, in any form, while the heart is still beating, are states of disease, unwell, near death or physical death.
 

In Xiao Yao Pai, which I take it you're incorrectly referring to as a Shen only system, the SOURCE of transformation is primordial qi from Wuji, which is received from beyond the differentiated state brought about by the separation of Yin and Yang from the divine one. This is where the Shen reside and when they interact with us during practice, they help to temporarily bridge this energy into our body so it can be absorbed by it. Then, the Shen feeds the Qi and the Qi feeds the Jing, but instead of doing this from a source of turbid energy (the body), it uses the purest energy from the subtle realm and steps it down so you have a clean flow.
 

The energy cannot be absorbed directly initially, because the human consciousness is still weak, the difference in vibration will simply shock the fuck out of it and even damage it or worse. So, Hu Fa Shen bridges it by entering Taiji to a vibration that is safely digestible.
 

By practising Tai Shang Shen Gong within Dao Yin Shu, we eventually create our own internal bridge, or in order words, with time the consciousness adapts certain qualitative parameters that allow it to process the energy internally without. Hu Fa Shen needing to bridge it constantly. So we gradually become more and more independent and this allows us to be able to pull in energy from Wuji to transform our consciousness more efficiently and more independently.
 

Because we start from the top and move down, again, due to the SOURCE of energy (this is our primary difference), our skills also develop first within the subtle dimension.
In other words, the skills we develop initially can be used on a vibration level that is strictly above Qi or Jing, so it cannot affect the subtle energy or physical body at the early stage, but it can directly manipulate the energy of someones consciousness. Some of these are skills inherited, some of these are developed.

 

In order for us to shift that skill into the physical dimension we need to practice Tai Shang Shen Gong, which moves down the system and begins to develop physical power and subtle power. This is essentially our system of Neigong (we don't have Waigong), because it moves from Shen to Qi to Jing and by the time it gets to Jing the internal energy is already at a very strong level of development.
 

With Houtian Xiulian Gong, you can either work on Neigong first, or Waigong - then lead the energy inwards to develop Neigong and from Neigong move to Neidan.

I think you misunderstood what I meant by possession. From what I've learned from @Jeff the possession that takes place is a sort of bond that happens in the higher chakras. This is like a hub on one's own motherboard which allows the Hu Fa Shen to take control when mutually beneficial. It is similar to what is observed in what Jeff calls a "true Guru bond". I'm not talking about possession in a negative way. Perhaps Jeff can share a few more words on what he meant by it. And maybe the two of you disagree on what happens during initiation, a process he has observed before. 

 

Yes, he has observed it, because I invited him.
Maybe its me, but the way you wrote that makes it seem like he came to spy and therefore discovered something we were trying to hide.
No. He was openly and lovingly invited.

 

Every consciousness is individual and independent from one another. We influence each other, but are individual and our individuality remains always.
One consciousness cannot possess another. I do not condone the use of the word possession even if you are employing it in its positive connotation of mutually agreed control, because that still implies that you're handing over control for whatever period of time, which is not how DYS works.

 

Handing over complete control is a direct violation of free will and a violation of the highest law, which even God-Dao does not violate.
What happens is not control, but guidance, you're "guided" (that's why our art is called The Divine Guidance Art) to move or do something at which point you can either follow it or reject it, because you're always in control.

During practice you have to develop your sensitivity to the Shen's energy and feel it when he/she guides you.

You should be able to distinguish your Hu Fa Shen's guiding energy from your own will and no matter the instruction, you can always move in the opposite direction if you wish.

There are no installations, chains, attachments, chip implants or whatever other metaphorical expressions exist : )
It is simply one consciousness helping another consciousness, no bonds are necessary for this.

 

The only one that owns anyone and is superior to everyone is the primordial Dao; for we all exist within its body and enrich it.

 

Quote

Regardless, it is claims and personal experiences of you both. It ultimately comes down to whether one chooses to trust you. There's no way to confirm or deny whether a bond is created if one is not at a level to be able to ascertain what actually happens during initiation. It would be like an alien inserting probes into you on an extremely subtle nano layer of your body, and then you say, "nope, nothing of that sort is happening". I mean, you can't really know. What we can observe is whether the effect is beneficial or not. And according to you and the testimonials, it is beneficial and certainly not harmful so that's good. 

 

No, there isn't a way to know before initiation. You will need to become initiated and cultivate to see it for yourself.

 

Third parties outside of Xiao Yao Pai, don't always see Hu Fa Shen directly. Very often what they experience is their shadow in Taiji because most people can't detect Hu Fa Shen directly in their raw formless state of light. They show themselves only when they wish to be seen and to who they wish to see them.

 

You can have a group of Shen in the room before initiation and nobody will see them until the moment they are initiated, while others won't see them at all (yet) : )

A Shen and a Xian are both a consciousness outside of a physical body.
A Human is a consciousness inside a physical body.

 

Both a Shen and a Human can help another Human, teach him, educate him, energise him, heal his energy etc - and in both instances, no bonding is necessary.

What is it about the lack of a physical body that suddenly makes you think that consciousness must bond with you?

It is just mere energetic interaction.

You go to your patients' home and do your Wai Qi Liao Fa and then you go home.
Hu Fa Shen comes to your home and does his work and goes home too. No strings attached.

 

Moreover, if anybody wants to leave the school, they just face Tai Shang, make a formal request and dissolve the apprenticeship, then they will be stricken off the heavenly register until next life, when they can apply again. Heaven doesn't like time wasters and unserious people, so if you don't appreciate the value after you receive it, then you'll have to wait for your next life, if you're lucky enough to find us.
 

Quote

The way you explained it in the past was better and is how I meant it. Your Hu Fa Shen is cultivating, your masters are cultivating and you are cultivating. The bond the beings make with you and all the other Dao Yu is a mutually beneficial exchange. Everyone cultivates and benefits. That's the way it was explained. Not that the Hu Fa Shens were perfect, nor that the master was perfect, but that everyone is continually refining themselves.

 

I do not always share everything about everything, so if I explained something in the past, it doesn't mean that is all the information regarding the subject.

The mutually beneficial exchange I speak of is not about collecting coins in a purse.

The Shen that have merged with the Dao embody its qualities, power, will and divine directive the deeper they go into the core.

The benefit for such a Shen is in its ability to conduct the evolution of souls within Taiji (The physical universe), using the power of the Dao to do so (or however much of this power it has managed to inherit as a result of the condition of its own consciousness as determined by its resonance with the core values of the Dao).

 

All the Shen desire to do is give themselves.
That is what Love is. Giving yourself endlessly.
The Dao gives itself endlessly to all of its creations in supporting their life and evolution.
The Shen who have drawn themselves closer to the Dao and have merged with it to become one consciousness; and who therefore act both as its body and as their individual identities, also give themselves endlessly. They are incessantly among us here in one form or another, either influencing life directly from Wuji or entering Taiji to more directly direct us in our development.

 

The benefit to you is your own growth in the direction of the Shen and the Dao through the refinement of your negative personality traits, your turbulent emotions and the density of your consciousness to make it light and soft, but also strong so it does not break or diffuse. This is the Yuan Shen that is both Yin and Yang and must be crystallised through proper cultivation. The benefit is love, peace, calm,  happiness, compassion, bliss and freedom from turmoil and incarnation - the same benefits that the subtlest Shen enjoy.

I do not understand the point you're trying to make here at all.

 

Even the Dao is expanding. With every consciousness that merges into the primordial it too is enriched.
With every unique experience we have in Taiji within the physical body; the Dao is too is enriched.

Every Shen that has merged into the subtlest dimension of the Dao. Into is core, becomes the Dao.
It is like a drop jumping in the sea, it becomes the sea and the sea becomes it.

 

In that sense they have attained the highest perfection of oneness, but even within this perfection, there is life and continued involvement with the evolution of the collective consciousness.

 

It is empty but not void (Kong).

Yes, I'm quite aware of all the testimonials, thank you. But there's unfortunately no difference between what is observed and what happens during Zifagong or Shaktipat transmission. I've attended retreats where this exact thing happens, spontaneous movement, visions, all kinds of stuff. Also having the feeling of being guided, at that time, feeling of being guided by the primordially intelligent Shakti energy.  Dakinis or higher immortal beings flying in and taking control of a practictioner's vocal cords (something you also describe in one of the testimonials in the long Xiao Yao Pai thread) and singing a beautiful tune through an unknown language. Problem is that most of those experiences were temporary and didn't lead to lasting change, similar to what freeform is talking about.  

 

Ok, and what are you expecting exactly?
You have to sit down and practice. That's it.

 

Most of those experiences in the beginning serve to convince and assure the disciple that what he is experiencing is genuine.
After that, things calm down as the work moves into the cultivation of consciousness.

 

Sitting in OBLIVION. 
Sitting and FORGETTING.
SILENT sitting.

 

CONSCIOUSNESS. Only the most subtle thing in all of existence, but you want what?
Drum and Base playing every time you sit down to meditate?

Or you want to be woken up by unicorns every time your alarm rings?

 

Some people cant even feel their own physical bodies.
Others can't feel their Qi or believe it exists.
But you're complaining that consciousness isn't perceptible? : )

 

I will tell you EXACTLY why, the people who didn't experience lasting results failed, because as with everything else, they simply failed to persist, thinking that since all the bells and whistles have stopped singing now, things must be finished - no, when the bells and whistles stop, is when you're moving into the cultivation of consciousness. It's a boring exercise meditation. Sitting still and being quiet inside and out.

 

Do amazing mind blowing things happen. Oh hell yes, but if you keep expecting things with your mind, you will always fail.
Moreover, I think most people are too spoilt nowadays.

 

You can be initiated into a system where a Shen comes to teach you personally, to which you can speak to and receive messages and direction, see it, hear it, touch it.
But people still want more 

 

I can't help those ones which will not help themselves : )

 

Quote

What would be very nice to hear is to hear from people that have practiced at least a year or longer and what changes they have observed.

 

Speaking!

Is my testimony too inconvenient or must it come from someone who was a complete virgin in internal cultivation to please you? : )

 

Quote

You come from a Houtian background yourself so your results can't really be applied the same way I don't think. 

 

What?! - Why the hell not?
Are you implying I can't distinguish between when I started practising one system and stopped another and to which I can attribute specific achievements?

Of course I can. How can anybody not! It is not a matter that demands much to be intellectualised!

I've spoken with some practitioners that have practiced for more than 10-15 years beforehand, and have been practicing Xiao Yao Pai for at least 2 years, and they say they are not even sure that they have a Hu Fa Shen or that they are being guided. They say it is so subtle. That it was very noticeable just after initiation, but then gradually it disappeared. 

 

What a surprise. Consciousness, the most subtle energy in the Dao, is subtle...
Common guys, is this even a serious conversation : )))

 

You expect to cultivate your consciousness and everything to keep on feeling physical?
Then you're just cultivating your Taiji energy, which will disperse with the body after death and not your consciousness.

 

Every Hu Fa Shen can read your mind and will treat you according to your stubbornness, arrogance, ignorance, wisdom, ethics, expectations and so forth.
They have an endless ways to test you.

 

Keep looking for palpable experiences and your Hu Fa Shen will make certain that even while you're being refined intensely, you don't get any.
Maybe you'll quit, maybe you'll surmount your ego and on the other side of the hill is a paradise of experiences.

Every Hu Fa Shen will target your weakness for it is that which needs to be refined.

Dao Yin Shu isn't only about energetic cultivation.

 

It's about ethical cultivation, wisdom cultivation, love cultivation, compassion cultivation, power and skill cultivation and it is about emotional and psychological cultivation.
You will be hit on every single one of those levels and you are the only thing that determines if you fail or succeed : )

 

Anybody who thinks that all parts of this practice are easy, just don't bother coming at all.
Better stay at home. Seriously : )

 

Quote

My point being that maybe someone needs to be quite refined and advanced beforehand, to really notice and observe what is going on, and perhaps even to significantly progress through the Path. But perhaps you say it is different in XYP. 

 

NO! For crying out loud. This is absolute horse kaka.

 

We have Dao Yu who didn't even know what meditation was before they got initiated and they are making fantastic progress!

 

NO, stop trying to OBSERVE and UNDERSTAND whats going on.
This is the crux of the problem.

 

You're trying to use information that your mind has accumulated within the span of a lifetime to fathom the unfathomable infinity of the Dao.
It is an inconceivably stupefying attempt of the mind of a frog trying to comprehend the mind of the whole ocean, from within a WELL.

It is always doomed to failure.

 

Yes, it is definitely different, because we are under the guidance of Shen, so they direct us.
Our understanding comes through the act of doing, but we needn't know beforehand what to do or how to do it. It simply burdens the mind with anxiety.

It is like @freeform mentions, the one's he saw that were actually successful in the Shen approach were those that came with a long background of Houtian. If I'm not mistaken you also had before you started houtian a background in martial arts for many, many years. That by itself helps prepare the body for houtian work. It was only after your houtian work where you managed to build the LDT (which is something you now teach to beginners through immediate reverse breathing, squeezing of the perineum and more), that you were initiated into Xiao Yao Pai and began to benefit from that way of cultivation in my understanding. 

Please correct me if I'm wrong though 

 

No, no, Ashino.

 

Many of those who have very successful practice came with no knowledge of alchemy, frail bodies, often sick or weak in some way.

It is not the quality of the body that is the most important thing when dealing with Shen, but the quality of the heart-mind which always takes precedence.

 

ALWAYS.

I think it’s right of you to clarify. But I for one didn’t read it as a form of ‘possession’...

 

In fact in most lineages at a certain stage of getting accepted into the ‘inner door’ of the school, one is initiated into the lineage - and a ‘seed’ is ceremonially ‘stamped’ into the upper Dantien.

 

With any old lineage there is always an immortal being at the head of it. By being aligned through initiation in this way, your cultivation as well as your daily life is to some extent subtly coloured by this attunement to this higher aspect of being.

 

It just sounds that your school starts with this initiation - rather than holding the initiation out for the fully committed ones.

 

Or am I missing something?

 

 

I’m curious - how do these channels function when they are activated at this deeper levels? What are some signs that this has happened?

 

 

They function in a way which facilitates the continued reunification of the spirit within the primordial qi, linking together the water element in the kidneys and the fire element in the heart so the true yang and true yin can invert their places to bring bout the primordial state of being signified by Qian and Kun in their right positions. Then the water of the primordial qi stops flowing down and out and the fire spirit stops flaring up.

 

Once these are inverted and fire is under water, the steam is constantly produced by their union which settles in the yellow court around the Zhong Dantien, from here consciousness starts to expand beyond the chest and physical body and grow in size without limit. You can always determine someones level of cultivation by the size of their consciousness, which can grow to the size of rooms, buildings, neighbourhoods, cities, countries, the planet and up to the size of the Dao which it attains after it dissolves into it completely at the sage of Kong (emptiness; our tradition's highest goal).

 

Once the primordial qi is flowing through these meridians it enables this entire process of refinement, helping the consciousness crystalise into one solid being.

Theses functions are not activated by Houtian Qi flowing through the body meridians which are mostly a product of food, drink and environmental Qi.

 

From the moment we are initiated we are directly absorbing primordial qi into the body which feeds the Xia Dantien and speeds up the whole process of work, which would otherwise have to be performed solely with ones own energy.

 

It's kind of like we plug-in and download the blueprint and the blueprint itself starts to recallibrate us form the inside, while Hu Fa Shen, the engineers, implements and administers the integration of the divine blueprint into the subtle energy and consciousness in a way that allows a steady gradual reversal of the post-natal state (ni).

 

When we move the primordial qi from the Xian Dantien, unlike in Houtian, where we cycle it, we instead  move it up the Ren and up the Du simultaneously, this is around the time the MDT and LDT start to relink together which you will feel sometimes like a stream or a line connecting between them with something like an amorphous ball passing up and down between them.

 

In all our Xiantian Qigong (which is the equivalent of the Houtian Neidan) we only focus on the Xiao Zhou Tian (Micro-CO) - we don't focus on the other Qi Jing Mai (Liu/Six).

Our whole work takes place in the torso between the LDT, MDT, UDT and outside of the physical body.

 

Signs, I've already included above, but the movement of the primordial qi in the LDT standa out for me, which is like a sudden spontaneous resuscitation of live energy. It is like the manifestation of Hun-tun within the body. Something is suddenly born. It feels like you are pregnant with a child that is moving, yet its a kind of weaving, waving, nebulous and serpentine energy, that is wanting to move and do and transform.

 

We also clear the 3 passes going up Du as well.

So we share a lot of similarities with Houtian Xiulian and also have divergences in different areas.

 

Even though there is crossover, it goes something like this:

 

- Xiantian Tai Shang Shen Gong: helps us bridge primordial qi from wuji down into taiji to be used by the body.

- Xiantian Qigong: Our Neidan and our Neigong practice - both of which involve energy work, so we call it Qigong; energy work.

- Xiantian Jing Zuo: here we primarily refine out consciousness to become more subtle by absorbing primordial qi, while increasing its crystalisation so it becomes Yang.

 

Quote

After initiation, what are some of the main practices of the school?

 

Various methods of working with energy, absorbing energy from the sun and moon, spiritual combat and finger weaving, working on converting the spiritual energy into physical to ground it into the body for neigong power, projecting the spirit outside of the body, learning to move the consciousness more flexibly, learning to dissolve into the consciousness of other things, material or immaterial, moving energy consciously in the body.

Oops. Only just saw this.

 

I don’t think it’s superficial necessarily...

 

I think it can certainly assist ones who are interested in different schools and it would help them understand the functional differences before joining.

 

Alrighty then, there you are : )

I was initiated into  XYP in 2016.......never lost conncection with the FFS......but they changed as i requested to be trained differently than the common XYP road.

 

No they didn't.

It is not your choice.

There is a directive beyond your preferences.

They just accommodated your arrogance with a lolly-pop so you would shut your ego up.

Now you are just practising the same thing, thinking it is something else and It's kind of funny, but that is what you deserve : )

 

Our school has its own system, its own methodology, its own curriculum, its own heirarchy of Shen that act as its executors and its own organisational rules in heaven as on earth.

It is for all intents and purposes like a traditional school in any one of our societies.

 

One student cannot come and change the system; this is hubris in its worst form, for a human to think he can send away a God and ask for another like some child who is unsatisfied with his toys, or to imply that he is so special that he cannot be taught in a "common" way and to imply that the school has no alchemy owing to your own limited understanding.

 

A Shen can reject a student, a student can't reject a Shen.

 

I feel dirtied by the self-conceited egocentrism of this sentiment just by reading and replying to it.

 

Quote

I have heard some have seemed to have lost the connection to the ffs but no nothing in more detail. But to me it makes sense that xians do not train all people forever....so when they are not ripe enough they may turn away from them after a certain time.

 

Nobody looses the connection to their mandated Hu Fa Shen, providing they wish to cultivate.

The Shen under Xiao Yao Pai are not volunteers, they are on formal duty and it is their duty to use a way particular to their apprentice's consciousness and ego to advance them.

The assessment of one's "ripeness" is carried out during initiation, when the candidate Hu Fa Shen appear in the room to pick their students, and it is done on a soul level.

 

If one is rejected due to having a malevolent heart.

They are rejected on the spot, no dilly-dallying.

 

The apprenticeship is dissolved only when you dissolve it formally and after death, not before.

I wanted to learn real alchemy and XYP is not that.....it works basically like Effie says.....but that is not real alchemy. (real alchemy is very rare!)

 

So rare in fact that when it is under your nose you do not see it.

 

Physical immortality doesn't exist.

There can only be an extension of physical life through healthy living and good internal work, but all things that are born must die.

 

There are no living physical immortals. Every Daoist and Buddhist school on the planet today that claims they have a lineage of physical immortals, have all buried their former masters in graves, or their founders would still be alive. When you ask them if their masters were buried or not, they all suddenly get very sensitive around this topic.

 

Quote

And i am not saying that XYP is bad or anything like that...but not real alchemy.

 

Please refer to my above replies to the former posters regarding some of the phases of Neidan in Xiao Yao Pai, which you're clearly ignorant of.

You first need to enrich your understanding of the word Dan in Daoism as well as Primordial Qi.

 

Most of your misunderstandings are due to very basic misconceptions in both order of and meaning of things in Neidan.

 

FYI: the process Houtian Xiulian in Neidan is what takes place in many parts of our Xiantian Qigong, after it advances to a phase you obviously haven't reached yet, which is fine of its own, but It is not very respectable to jump to conclusions based on that lack of experience and then go on public forums saying, it doesn't exist because I didn't reach it yet.

 

We cultivate the highest Dan of the Dao and the primordial qi into which our consciousness settles and disperses during Xiantian Qigong and Xiantian Jingzuo practice and we also have Neigong.

 

And before you start saying again that you had a very long 15 minute conversation with one of our Masters, let me just remind you that I've been practising Dao Yin Shu and have been receiving education in this system of work for over 6 years now. 

 

Quote

I am hestitant to talk about real alchemy here though

 

Damn, we dodged a bullet there.

 

Quote

There is in my understanding no shen alone approach.......

 

Such a thing as "shen alone" does not exist and any "real" alchemist or TCM Practitioner for that matter, would spit their coffee out reading that. 

 

 

I just got notified by someone that incorrect information was being shared here again in regards to our practice methodology. 

 

I can't look for it now, because I'm at work, but I'll have a look at it later and make any necessary corrections.

 

If anyone has any specific questions regarding Tai Shang Men - Xiao Yao Pai; feel free to let me know and I'll compile everything and reply later.

 

Judging by what I was told.

It will be very long reply. 

 

In honour of the OP, I suggest we keep any questions in line with the theme of his/her thread, as much as possible.

 

On 09/09/2019 at 7:25 AM, anshino23 said:

 

I think you misunderstood what I meant by possession. From what I've learned from @Jeff the possession that takes place is a sort of bond that happens in the higher chakras. This is like a hub on one's own motherboard which allows the Hu Fa Shen to take control when mutually beneficial. It is similar to what is observed in what Jeff calls a "true Guru bond". I'm not talking about possession in a negative way. Perhaps Jeff can share a few more words on what he meant by it. And maybe the two of you disagree on what happens during initiation, a process he has observed before. 

 

Regardless, it is claims and personal experiences of you both. It ultimately comes down to whether one chooses to trust you. There's no way to confirm or deny whether a bond is created if one is not at a level to be able to ascertain what actually happens during initiation. It would be like an alien inserting probes into you on an extremely subtle nano layer of your body, and then you say, "nope, nothing of that sort is happening". I mean, you can't really know. What we can observe is whether the effect is beneficial or not. And according to you and the testimonials, it is beneficial and certainly not harmful so that's good. 

 

 

The way you explained it in the past was better and is how I meant it. Your Hu Fa Shen is cultivating, your masters are cultivating and you are cultivating. The bond the beings make with you and all the other Dao Yu is a mutually beneficial exchange. Everyone cultivates and benefits. That's the way it was explained. Not that the Hu Fa Shens were perfect, nor that the master was perfect, but that everyone is continually refining themselves.

 

 

Yes, I'm quite aware of all the testimonials, thank you. But there's unfortunately no difference between what is observed and what happens during Zifagong or Shaktipat transmission. I've attended retreats where this exact thing happens, spontaneous movement, visions, all kinds of stuff. Also having the feeling of being guided, at that time, feeling of being guided by the primordially intelligent Shakti energy.  Dakinis or higher immortal beings flying in and taking control of a practictioner's vocal cords (something you also describe in one of the testimonials in the long Xiao Yao Pai thread) and singing a beautiful tune through an unknown language. Problem is that most of those experiences were temporary and didn't lead to lasting change, similar to what freeform is talking about.  

 

What would be very nice to hear is to hear from people that have practiced at least a year or longer and what changes they have observed. You come from a Houtian background yourself so your results can't really be applied the same way I don't think. 

 

I've spoken with some practitioners that have practiced for more than 10-15 years beforehand, and have been practicing Xiao Yao Pai for at least 2 years, and they say they are not even sure that they have a Hu Fa Shen or that they are being guided. They say it is so subtle. That it was very noticeable just after initiation, but then gradually it disappeared. 

 

My point being that maybe someone needs to be quite refined and advanced beforehand, to really notice and observe what is going on, and perhaps even to significantly progress through the Path. But perhaps you say it is different in XYP. 

 

It is like @freeform mentions, the one's he saw that were actually successful in the Shen approach were those that came with a long background of Houtian. If I'm not mistaken you also had before you started houtian a background in martial arts for many, many years. That by itself helps prepare the body for houtian work. It was only after your houtian work where you managed to build the LDT (which is something you now teach to beginners through immediate reverse breathing, squeezing of the perineum and more), that you were initiated into Xiao Yao Pai and began to benefit from that way of cultivation in my understanding. 

Please correct me if I'm wrong though 

 

There are too many misunderstandings here for which I currently don't have the time to reply to, nor any particular inclination, and which of themselves will be corrected once a consistent personal body of experience has been accumulated through practice. 

 

Furthermore, none of this information aids in cultivation. It is merely superficial entertainment for the mind, so I'd rather skip the long-winded and ultimately pointless theoretical philosophy.

 

I only came here to correct the false statements pertaining to our tradition of cultivation. 

 

 

 

 

I just wan to chime in here to correct some of these statements:

 

Quote

XYP uses the contact of what they call a Fu Fa Shen who is allegedly an immortal Xian

 

I often find the word immortal quite undignified, seeing as most souls are not distinguished in evolution primarily by their ability to live beyond the death of the physical body, for that is a common characteristic among all souls, but rather by their state of resonance with the qualities of the primordial consciousness and their level of dissolution and integration with the subtlety of the Dao.

 

Quote

who binds to your higher chakras (basically possesses you in a mutually beneficial contract - like a Guru bond)

 

This is not right. A soul that has taken up the role of Hu Fa Shen under Tai Shang, as a representative of Xiao Yao Pai, is no more "bound" to the soul or energy of its student, than the rays of the sun are bound to the body of the person warmed by it.

 

No form of binding ever takes place, nor is there ever a necessity for an unbinding.

All practitioners of Xiantian Dao Yin Shu are as free as God/Dao made them.

Free in cognition, free in speech and free in action.

There are no contracts and there is certainly no possession.

 

Possession is typically an act of the displacement or suppression of consciousness, which is carried out by a soul whose own degree of evolution and power is less than that of the persons' body whom it wishes to occupy. Due to its inability to do so by force of itself, it must in some way either convince the incarnate soul, or have the incarnate soul convince itself that it should depress its own consciousness to make space for that of the possessing entity, which is then able to assume some level of control over the living aspects of the incarnate being. It is as a result of this lowering of ones consciousness, voluntarily, that when one is in a trance they tend to lose some measure of their cognitive capabilities, fine motor control, appear unintelligible, drool, mumble incoherently and possess the face of one who does not appear to be "present".

 

These are the common symptoms of a person possessed whose consciousness has been lowered to accommodate another.

The possessing spirit's vibration is lower, thus the incarnate being must lower its own consciousness so a handshake can occur to enable a temporal symbiosis.

 

I would strongly advise against these kinds of practices involving possession.

If you're not fully conscious, if you have to enter any form of trance induced by drugs or other influences that displace you, and if every interaction doesn't help your consciousness expand; abandon it immediately.

 

The nature of interaction with a Hu Fa Shen is nothing like the above. 

Firstly, all interaction with Hu Fa Shen is carried out in a completely lucid, conscious and non-trance state.

Practitioners can move against the guidance of Hu Fa Shen, challenge their suggestions and go their own way.

The right of free will is a divine privilege that none can hijack.

 

Hu Fa Shen's consciousness is more refined and subtle that our own consciousness, and it is we that must attune to IT, or, they make themselves denser to interact with us, but we never, ever SHRINK qualitatively in order to attune to HFS; we always expand - and this is done through tranquility, calm and a refined heart which facilitates the connection.

 

The development of the consciousness in interaction with Hu Fa Shen always results in our qualitative and quantitative expansion, not a contraction.

 

Again, please be weary of all this.

Any spirit or soul that demands that you enter a trance, lower your consciousness or reduce yourself to some stuttering, drugged puppet is not higher than you, but lower; and understand that the status of being disembodied or discarnate does not serve as evidence of the degree of evolution of a soul. A low evolution disembodied soul residing in the collective consciousness of a low vibrational realm close to the physical (Taiji), will maintain the same quality of being in its incarnate state after it has entered a physical body. Do not assume that because a soul is not in a body that somehow it is to be indiscriminately revered or respected or looked up to. No. Absolutely not. Be weary of this trap and use discernment by interrogating their ethics and their expression of love, compassion, wisdom and power.

As regards to "mutually beneficial".

 

The benefit for Hu Fa Shen which is in mergence with the Dao is only that it is able to aid in the evolution of consciousness by bringing others closer to the Dao from which, at its level, it acts out of as an integrated particle of the totality; just as a drop of water may act within the sea it has dissolved into. It's will, direction, care and intentions have merged with that of the Dao. This is non-separation from the primordial consciousness where the acquired mind has dissolved into the collective mind of the highest.

 

Quote

and then you -- through their practices -- absorb primordial Qi in through your Baihui which is transduced/filtered down through the immortal Fu Fa Shen. 

 

During practice, our consciousness is enveloped by the sea of consciousness of the primordial within which your Hu Fa Shen resides and of which its own consciousness is an interconnected whole.

 

It is like diving into an ocean and becoming the ocean.

 

Our consciousness begins to condition itself to that of the environment it is surrounded by and so from dense it becomes more subtle.

Our practice is classified as Wu Wei.

 

It is a process of transformation or attunement through direct interaction. In the same way that we may become smarter by sharing conversation with smart people, or wetter by entering a pool. Likewise during practice our consciousness is made more subtle by being enveloped by the consciousness of one with a far more developed structure (Hu Fa Shen).

 

Of course there are more practical details, but this is the foundation. It is a practice of mergence through spiritual synchronisation.

 

Quote

The immortal Fu Fa Shen also allegedly guides you in daily matters, takes control of your body for the exact needs you have for your cultivation, takes control of your breathing when it's needed for neigong purposes, etc

 

The manner in which these ideas are being communicated, continuously express an undertone of possession, which indicates a critical misunderstanding of our tradition.

Practice takes place, when you invite your Hu Fa Shen to practice, not other wise.

 

There are instances when Hu Fa Shen will carry out works of refinement on you outside of a formally requested practice, but these are at the subtle level and do not interfere in anyway with daily activities. You will merely, if you can, feel that Hu Fa Shen has connected and has started to bridging subtle energy into your body. This may be because you need it, it may be to catalyse a time sensitive transformation of energy, it may be to inspire you, it may be to support you in a difficult or challenging situation etc - but it is always a subtle, loving and non-disturbing supplementation and feels blissful, expanding and pleasant.

 

Quote

According to them it's an extremely efficacious and fast system

 

Remarkably so. Primarily due to the ability to directly connect the consciousness to the realm of subtlety of the Dao and bridge the quality of that energy directly into our body to clean out the turbid and coarse emotional states and energetic disharmonies within the body. Think of it like plugging a hose from your consciousness to the pool of collective consciousness where Hu Fa Shen resides and drawing that into the body to augment the condition and quality of your own energy to match theirs.

 

Quote

that jumps over the entire houtian pathway of transforming the body (the hard way, with celibacy, retreats etc.)

 

This is not right.

While there are numerous differences between Xiantian Xiu Dao and Houtian Xiu Dao, fundamentally what differentiates us are several factors:

 

- The quality of the energy source is of the most subtle kind which we funnel directly into our consciousness to expand it by help of Hu Fa Shen who resides in that realm and is able to guide our consciousness into it by helping to change the vibration and density of our own to match its residence in the deeper realms of the Dao.

- The guidance of Hu Fa Shen in practice and their ability to direct practice from a point of view which sees the totality of our being in all its dimensions of existence; physical, energetic and at the level of the consciousness and its associated karmic history.

 

We do not jump over the entire pathway of Houtian, in fact we share many similarities, but also have points of divergence.

Our system is like cultivation from both ends simultaneously, coming from below and from above.

 

Retreats are not necessary, but we strongly encourage group practice as the presence of multiple Hu Fa Shen in one space amplifies the strength of transformation, which allows all the consciousnesses of the practitioners in the group to more easily expand and dissolve into the collective pool of the Hu Fa Shen's own luminousity, and it is a great way to practice expanding ones own consciousness beyond the body to merge with that of those around him of a similar vibration; as this mimics the state of existence within the subtle realms of the Dao which is constructed in a similar way. Other than that, loving-sex is the second best way to practice the union of consciousness within the physical body. That is why our bits are designed in such a way to connect both bodies into one body. All this physical world is just a school for the practice of the state of the union of consciousness and the elimination of egoic self-importance and personal identity.

 

Quote

but instead you just absorb Shen directly which is then transformed and used by the body to open its channels, build the LDT and then eventually even an immortal spirit comes and connects the Du and Ren meridians for you.

 

Correct, except that Ren and Du meridians are connected anyway. If they were not, everybody would be dead.

Rather, we are activating them on a deeper level which is triggered by a particular grade of energy.

In other words, different grades of energy can enable different functions of meridians.

 

Quote

Supposedly it was used only by the Huang Di and was hidden until the 1970s.

 

Yes, Huangdi inherited it from Guangzhengzi, however Xiantian Dao Yin Shu was present in unnamed forms before us since the first growths of consciousness on the planet; we simply carry on this art.

 

Yes, it was in the 70s that Tai Shang granted us permission to share the art publicly, as Shifu sought a way to help his TCM patients cure their imbalances at the root level of the consciousness where they all originate in the form of improper attitudes, emotional disturbances, poor ethics and karma.

 

Quote

They also say that Tai Shang Lao Jun watches over the initiation process and all the immortals. 

 

They are all merged into one sea of collective consciousness from which they come out into Taiji to manifest as individuals to carry out the works of aiding the evolution of denser souls.

The candidate Hu Fa Shen always appear at the initiation to receive their new students. Many people see their Hu Fa Shen immediately at the moment of initiation.

 

Here are a bunch of testimonials if you want to have a look, including some new video ones from the first initiation we had in India in August:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/xiaoyaopaitaoism/permalink/973319889399676/

 

Regards,

*Tai Shang Shen Gong;*
Supreme Spritual Power (Skill).

 

This is one of the three major forms of cultivation used within the system of Xiantian Dao Yin Shu.

 

Through the interaction of Hu Fa Shen with our consciousness, a multidimensional connection is established that bridges us directly to the realm of the Dao's subtlety in which the divine beings associated to Xiao Yao Pai reside.

 

When this bridge is initiated during practice, it facilitates the absorption of the subtle energy present within the deeper realms of the Dao, directly into the body of our own consciousness; reshaping the structure of our own energy to match that of the divine and adopting their positive qualities.

 

It is the most straight forward, efficient and simple methodology of spiritual cultivation, enabled by our ability to connect directly to the source. 

 

By practising Tai Shang Shen Gong, our consciousness naturally transforms from the state of that which is coarse and burdened with negative characteristics (human), to that which is subtle and illuminated by positive characteristics (divine). 

 

Most systems of cultivation today, typically employ an approach of "ascending purification". They purify the turbid energy of the unrefined human consciousness and then cultivate with much effort and difficulty, to gradually transform into the state that matches the consciousness of the divine.

 

This is often why, in such systems, there exists an obligation towards the acceptance of a celibate and monastic way of life, since a lot of energy needs to be harvested from the body to support the continued process of energetic transmutation of the coarse to the subtle.

 

It is as though there were two people who were tasked with throwing a rock by hand to cover a distance of 10,000 meters.

 

One attempts to throw it into the sky while standing on the ground, against the pull of gravity, while the other drops it from 10,000 meters in the air and let's it fall naturally.

 

Which one do you think will cover the distance easier, the one that throws it up or the one that let's it fall naturally?

 

In the same way, rather than making extreme efforts to transmute our energy upwards, as in other schools and often at the cost of our social life and contributed social value, in Dao Yin Shu, we just stand under the waterfall and let the stream of refined energy enter our bodies from above.

~Hu Fa Shen:
A soul (consciousness) that has developed itself in quality to match the condition of the subtlest realms of Dao. It exists in the disembodied, formless state and has taken up the responsibility of guiding students of Xiao Yao Pai in the form of a teacher of the spiritual arts. All Hu Fa Shen of Xiao Yao Pai are representatives of Tai Shang Lao Jun and uphold the highest ethical and moral standards.

 

~Xiantian Dao Yin Shu:
The spiritual guidance art of Xiao Yao Pai. It consists of Shengong, Qigong and Jingzuo; all of which are directed by the consciousness of the cultivator's assigned Hu Fa Shen.

I am so thankful to Master Flyming, Sister Nina, CP and the entire team of Masters for the Initation...
It was a wonderful experience, as soon as the Initation process started, I felt strong vibrations and pull in my hands, and my hands began to move beautifully... I feel heaviness in my head...

I m feeling lucky to be initiated on Master Flyming birthday... 🎂🎊🎉

Now from last 2days there is no movements... 
One more thing after doing Qi Gong exercise, my energy level is superb...

So thankful to Master Flyming and his entire team...

TESTIMONIAL 39:

Greetings,

Got initiated on Master Flyming's birthday. It was a blissfully speechless experience.

I am feeling so light emotionally. Moreover the very next morning after initiation I had a mesmerizing experience.

It was raining heavily and there was water logging at many places, I moved out of house happily self-driving, enjoying music....in midway something within me made me say *hu fa shen* make me reach properly.

I did so and after approximately 10 mins ahead a roadside electric wire got detached from one pole approx 20'-30' height and fell on the front glass and roof of car.

But thanks to *hu fa shen* nothing happened to me or car...not even a single scratch...it could have been a fatal moment in no time, if I would haven't invoked for *hu fa shen*.

During initiation, my movements were very graceful and it felt as if its not me who is moving my body...I was leaning towards back wanted to go more back but didn't coz the chair's back support was holding me from going back further. Also my hands very naturally went on my face and under eye as if some facial massage and today I see my face glowing.

As I said earlier these are blissful moments difficult to put in words 🙏🏻☺

I will forever be grateful to *Master Flyming* and team.

Looking forward to a life full of happiness peace abundance and prosperity in all the fields.

Thank you.

Dear Master and team,

It truly was such a wonderful experience to be initiated by Master Fleming and your school team. 
To feel the energy move in my body was the most beautiful experience to have.

I also feel so blessed just knowing I have my very own Fun Fa Shen to guide and protect me!
A big THANK YOU to Manojkumar for making this happen.

Thank you all for coming to Mumbai and making this possible for so many of us to have access to this powerful practice!

God bless!😇

TESTIMONIAL 37:

 

Greetings Dear ones,

 

I had DYS initiation on 3rd August in Mumbai, India.

 

I had read the testimonials here and actually was a bit skeptical about the involuntary movements... But then i thought, I will see how it goes.. And believe me, I swayed, made mudras while being totally conscious of the experiences...

 

I am really touched by the humbleness of Master Fleming and his team..

 

It was truly a blessing to get the initiation. I am continuing my practice and will share my experience.

 

A big thank you to Xuan Daoji for being pivotal in spreading this knowledge. 🙏

TESTIMONIAL 36:

 

Hello Xuan!

 

Before the initiation, Manojkumar would tell us about his waiting for this workshop to happen. That he had to wait for 3 years was beneficial to us, because we got to be in it.

 

He passed on the testimonials which excited me to no end. Wow feel lead me on.

 

We always learnt from Manoj to heal ourselves first (I always believed in this) and our actions should lead to the greatest good of all concerned. And this workshop is definitely based on that premise but on a much higher superior level.

 

Prior to the initiation, we got such wonderful explanations from you. Thank you for that.

 

Day one , all us divine souls were in the presence of the divine masters. The divine team and their cumulative energies set the tone for the day.

 

Nina started with the slide presentation and we were soon sailing on this journey, listening and soaking the knowledge of how it all came to be.

 

The simplicity and eagerness to impart knowledge and nourish our minds in each member of the team was gratifying.

 

The initiation soon happened! And Wow! I realised that my body could move in all kinds of ways. The first few minutes were excruciatingly painful. Yet I couldn’t move. My HFS held me there for as long as I could take it. I couldn’t come up on my own.

 

I had taken my mother with me. She is 78, and in the morning due to heavy rains , she was wet , cold and flustered. She had been in bed for last 5 months due to a leg surgery and some heart issues. Master CP came to lobby and helped revive her. At the end of day one she was all set to come for day 2 . She does not have her body moving. But she feels her hands tingling, shifting pain etc. so she flows with the sensations.

Day one evening as I sat on the bed, I was knocked down and all moves happened in that position.

 

Day two, at the workshop I have bent backwards almost 90 degrees without falling.

 

Every morning is a different experience. Today I called my HFS lying down. There was no physical movement. We were just moving within. Exploring sensations, pain, within. It was different.

 

Last 3 days have been unique. And to know that we have a higher power to guide us on our journey forward is truly gratifying.

 

A big thanks to Master Flyming, Nina , CP, Manojkumar and the entire team for making this possible.

TESTIMONIAL 35:

 

This is our first testimonial coming out of India, where we recently concluded the country's first ever Dao Ying (Initiation).

 

It's my pleasure to share this and I'm looking forward to more.

---------

The first day of the initiation, when Fu Fa Shen first connected with me I felt an immense hold on my back, such that I was fully bent at my waist while sitting. I couldn't lift my back.

Brother CP had said there were a lot of toxins in my belly area.

 

Immediately after the initiation I felt light.

At night I did the meditation and there was a free flowing movement guided by Fu Fa Shen.

 

The next day of the workshop, again we connected to Fu Fa Shen and again Fu Fa Shen guided my body with certain exercises, where my legs were being spread. At times I felt I would fall but I could balance myself.

 

Brother CP observed my stomach had gone softer from the previous day.

 

At night after the workshop I again meditated with FU FA SHEN and since I was tired, there wasn't much movement.

 

Today I was feeling exhausted; probably because of all the toxins being flushed out of my body. I've been feeling very sleepy, which is usually a sign that my body is adjusting to the subtle changes taking place within.

 

There's a distinct calmness and quiet within.

Looking forward to connect each day with Fu Fa Shen and learning of Dao each day.

 

Thank you

Regards,
Abdetaiyeb Motiwala

This is a Taoist altar from our school, in one of our temples in Indonesia:  吉祥宫 Ji Xiang Gong .

 

The being in the middle is Tai Shang Lao Jun (Laozi's consciousness). He is our school's highest spiritual Master in the immaterial realm and the one who bestows Hu Fa Shen (Instructor Spirits) to new Dao Yu (Initiates).

 

It is by his authority alone that we can perform the initiation necessary to connect the student to the sea of consciousness that constitutes his realm of subtlety and that of his appointed representatives. 

 

The being on the right is: Er Lang Shen (The Truth Seeing God of Protection)

 

The being on the left is: Jiu Tian Xuan Nu (The Goddess of The 9th Heaven)

 

All three of these immortals are teachers in our school.

 

Er Lang Shen not long ago became the Hu Fa Shen (pronounced Fu Fa Shen) to one of London's recent initiates.

 

The symbol in the middle of the altar is the character that represents our clan; Tai Shang Men (Grand Supreme Gate), Xiao Yao Pai (Carefree School).

 

It looks very old, perhaps seal script Chinese or even earlier, so it is around 4 to 5,000 years old at least. (Historians correct me). 

 

It means Tai Shang, so you could say that the translation of Tai Shang Men Xiao Yao Pai, if you wanted to translate them both together, is something like:

 

The gate that leads to the supreme in a carefree and natural way.

 

That is a core principle of our school and basically constitutes the essence of Daoism.

 

A little bit about the altar.

 

The 5 fruits represent the five blessings: Wu Fu (五福); and our desire for wealth, health, longevity, a virtuous life and a natural death.

 

At first sight, this may appear to be an altar of religious worship, but in actuality, the practice of Spiritual Daoism places no significance, emphasis or requirement for the worship or religious following of deities. However, in Chinese culture, it is common to venerate those people of high morals, personal and collective achievement, and to erect statues or monuments in their likeness, as a way to show respect, acknowledgement and a sincere appreciation of their influence; and the positive impact they've had and continue to have, on our lives and the lives of others.

 

So, one can if they wish, even set up an altar to venerate their parents in thanks for bringing them up, for guiding them, and supporting them throughout their life.

 

Fundamentally, Spiritual Daoism is non-dogmatic and non-religious. So always remember that, if you see an altar like this in any of our temples, It is not a place of worship, but a place of respect, appreciation, love and spiritual sanctity. It is somewhere where one can find clarity and give thanks to the most important and influential people in their lives.

Warm greetings everyone.

I hope you are keeping well.

 

On behalf of the Tai Shang Men | Xiao Yao Pai School of Spiritual Daoism and courtesy of the Indonesian Daoist Association,

It's my distinct pleasure to formally announce that we will be conducting the 4th European initiation event in London, UK, this year.

 

The purpose of the event is to introduce and share our school's ancient art of spiritual cultivation called, Xian Tian Dao Yin Shu; translated in short as, the Divine Guidance Art.

 

The Divine Guidance Art or The Spiritual Guidance art, as it is sometimes called, is a precursor to modern day Qigong, Taiji and Houtian Neidan (Internal Alchemy) -

and represents the core of Daoism in its spiritual state, as existing before the later formation of its philosophical and religious branches.

 

This is a secular form of spiritual cultivation, which offers a rare methodology for the development of consciousness,

that can be employed universally by practitioners, regardless of their current belief systems. Our art is not to be considered in any way a replacement of your adopted values, but a gentle catalytic supplement towards the unfolding of reality that will aid you to expand in your most natural way in the direction of oneness.

 

The ultimate goal of Dao Yin Shu, thus, is to facilitate the expansion of awareness as regards the multidimensional nature of our reality, to encourage the nurturing and propagation of positive moral, ethical and humanitarian values, to support the development of spiritual independence through the cultivation of subtle energy, and to guide practitioners in the blossoming of their transcendental wisdom with the aim of achieving the absolute perfection of emptiness (kong); or if you will, to achieve complete mergence with the fundamental nature of the Dao/God/Existence/Quantum Reality.

 

Xian Tian Dao Yin Shu is considered to be one of the oldest known Chinese systems of spiritual cultivation with roots dating back to the Yellow Emperor of China: Huangdi - and his legendary master; the Kong Tong mountain hermit, Guangzhengzi.

 

For nearly 5,000 years our school has preserved the ancient art and disseminated its teachings to those ready to embark on the journey of their self-discovery.

 

Why would you want to learn Dao Yin Shu instead of the many other systems of spiritual development available today?

 

Dao Yin Shu is uniquely different to other methods of cultivation. This is primarily due to its inheritance of the progenitor arts of Daoist transmission, which were used to pass information down from the ascended spiritual masters to the student, through a direct and personal medium of communication.

 

To help you understand why and how this is important, and to comprehend the differences between some of the traditions of Daoist cultivation practised today, in comparison to how they were approached in the past, I'll need to give you a little background.

 

There are basically two forms of Dao Yin (Daoist Yoga) that exist today, which encompass the full breadth of Daoist cultivation.

The two methods can be distinguished by their prefix.

 

The parent art is called Xian Tian Dao Yin Shu, while the child art is referred to as Hou Tian Dao Yin Shu.

 

If you look up the word Dao Yin today, you will find a common description stating its meaning as something akin to "guiding" and "stretching". It is assumed that under this terminology and practice, that the limbs of the practitioner are stretched in varying directions and movements to create forms, like those we see in Qigong and Taiji. The aim being, in cultivating and guiding the body's electromagnetic energy along the network of meridian channels, that run throughout the body - so that the physical matter (Jing), subtle energy (Qi) and sprit (Shen) can be invigorated and strengthened to produce hightened states of psychoemotional, energetic and spiritual awareness.

 

This method of Dao Yin is considered "Hou Tian" (Post Heavenly Cultivation), and can be compared in many ways to the varying traditions of cultivation that have survived across the wide selection of spiritual schools present today. This method however, does not retain the "root" of the ancient art.

 

While on its own, the practice of cultivating and manipulating the body's internal energy has been well established for millennia, and is also present in the traditions of other cultures spanning the globe. In Hou Tian, the words "guiding" and "stretching" have been severely misinterpreted on account of a lack of information.

 

The parent art of Xian Tian Dao Yin Shu, that comes before the modern Hou Tian idea of "guiding" and "stretching" the limbs, defines Dao Yin in a very different way.

 

Under this particular definition, the form is classified as Xian Tian or Pre Heavenly Cultivation - and the term "Yin" is actually denoted here as "guidance" (of a teacher), as opposed to "guiding" (of the limbs and energy). The reason for this remarkable difference can be found in the way the teachings of our school were traditionally passed-on in contrast to other Daoist schools, but more importantly, "who" or what carried out the process of passing the information on throughout the apprenticeship of the practitioner.

 

Unlike Hou Tian Dao Yin Shu and the spiritual practices present in many others disciplines, the practitioners of the progenitor form of Daoist cultivation, Xian Tian Dao Yin Shu, could receive the school's complete curriculum only after they partook in a spiritual initiation ceremony, where they were initiated by an authorised Daoist Master of a higher order. During this event, the Master would purge negative energy from the body of the practitioner to clear their vessel and then attune the disciples' higher mind (Yuan Shen) to enter the subtle and higher energy realms of consciousness that resonates with the vibration of our school; in essence, augmenting their ability to perceive information beyond the range of their natural senses.

 

In this state of supernatural perception and vibrational attunement; a resonating harmony is introduced and an opening for a two way connection is established so the master can formally connect the disciple to the celestial branch of their lineage, where the practitioner could be taken under apprenticeship by an authorised immortal spirit (Xian Shen) / ascended spirit existing in the discarnate state.

 

Under the official duty of a guide to an authorised school, the Daoist immortals were referred to as Hu Fa Shen (Pronounced Fu Fa Shen). Their sole purpose in this role being to instruct the disciple on the path of spiritual cultivation; giving them advice, guidance and practical direction to ensure that the delicate internal transformations of the subtle body are nurtured and developed to a reliable standard in accord with the great Dao.

 

Through such an inheritance, the student could rest assured that the knowledge and wisdom received on the path of their cultivation, came from a recognised, approved and officiated spirit under the status of a guide, who had already, fully walked the path.

 

With that clarification, I hope that now you can understand the original meaning of the "Yin" in the phrase "Dao Yin". It is the "guidance" of a realised ascended teacher and not the "guiding" of energy in the meridians.

 

The many forms of Dao Yin Shu which have proliferated in Daoist culture today and are the basis for the teachings of most Daoist schools; have lost this ancient root and the privilege of a direct transmission in the old art of the Dao. As a result of this, if you wish to learn about Neidan and Dao Yin today, you must physically visit a teacher and have them transmit their experience to you in person, and worse yet, you might have to practice alone, only with the direction of books to aid you.

 

The downside to this is that we usually have to pay some form of monthly fee and we are always limited by the teacher's experience; unable ourselves to verify the authenticity of their knowledge until we have applied it to our own bodies and often yielded unfavourable results, sometimes detrimental to our health and well being. After all, they are also too, just learning.

 

Contrary to this, when someone inherits Xian Tian Dao Yin Shu through a spiritual initiation; their assigned Hu Fa Shen will be there to guide them indefinitely. You needn't travel to class daily or pay a monthly fee. Every disciple can connect to their Hu Fa Shen, anytime, anywhere and journey-on the path of their cultivation of the Dao.

 

This is an invitation to consciousness.

 

If you look inside yourself and you find room to bring new experiences into your life. I welcome you.

If you've always believed there is more to existence than this material reality and the pull towards the unknown has always sang to your soul. I welcome you.

If you wish to make the world a better place through your knowledge and elevate the consciousness of your fellow beings. I welcome you.

 

If you've always wanted to learn directly from a realised teacher, I extended to you this humble invitation to the exploration of spiritual consciousness in the tradition of Daoism and offer you to join us on this revelation of a most mysterious and illuminating dimension of phenomenal experience.

 

This can be a journey unlike any other and It is always my honour to be able to connect all adventuring souls to the treasure of the old arts.

 

The event will be held in London, UK on the 19-20th of October, 2019.

The Venue Address: 4th Floor Studios, 255-259 Commercial Road, Shadwell, London E1 2BT

 

It will be a two day weekend event including talks on Daoism, The History of Xiao Yao Pai, Physiognomy, Palmistry, Feng Shui, Practice Methods, open Q&A sessions and a spiritual initiation in the tradition of our school to inherit The Divine Guidance Art (Dao Yin Shu) and be paired with a Xian (ascended master) to guide you in our curriculum of spiritual cultivation.

Dare I say, that an imperfect understanding of emptiness is a perfect understanding of emptiness : )
 

Quote

It depends on the the traits of different schools and philosophies. 

 

Most definitely so, and I'd say this is FROM a very NARROW, Daoist perspective and from a very NARROW Buddhist perspective.

Hi Ark,

 

The next initiation for UK and potentially US is due for 2019.

We're very active in Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia and have had over 10 initiations already between Malaysia and Singapore in the last year alone.

 

We're busy with a lot of different projects and have a large community to take care of, but that's not always apparent online, and it needn't be.

You can keep up to date with initiation announcements on our FB group.

 

Have a wonderful Sunday.

I'd like to share some photos from our recent initiation. We welcomed 66 new Dao Yu into Xiao Yao Pai.

People are always quite curious about what takes place in the first moments following each students pairing to their assigned Fu Fa Shen.

 

As you can tell from the photos, everyone's physical movements are usually specific to the disciple and prescribed by Fu Fa Shen after their initial diagnosis of your body's spirit, energy and physical conditions. Not all movements are visible to the eye, but all can be perceived by the senses of the practitioner, in particular those that are of a more subtle nature as constituted by refinements of the middle (qi) and core energies (shen).

 

The sensations involved in direct interaction with Fu Fa Shen, especially during physical movement, often resemble to the senses, a form of cloudy vaporous energy enveloping the limbs and drawing the body to move via a palpable magnetic force in a predetermined direction. Since our tradition allows us the benefit of retaining complete lucidity while intermingling with Fu Fa Shen, it means that we can always exercise the insuperableness of our providential right of free will - to move against the indication of the guiding energy and under the direction of our own mind. In the early days of practice investigating and playing with the volumetric organisation of this energetic envelope is a good way to build rapport and establish a "feeling" for the distinguishing qualities of energy which separate that of your body from that of your Fu Fa Shen. Other common sensations are perceptions of cold, usually experienced by most Dao Yu (initiated), firstly at the crown of the head (Bai Hui) after the initiation has taken place. It were as though a cold stream of water begins to pour into your head, mouth, ears and move through your body.

 

I've noticed that the stronger the determination of your Fu Fa Shen to interface with your low vibrational matter, the colder the sensation; to a point where it can almost feel freezing during the direct employment of the disciples physical faculties; such as when in the presence of others, usually close family or friends, Fu Fa Shen, wishes to impart certain advice or assistance to them; they might speak directly through your body by using all the organs involved in producing speech. The mouth and lips and tongue during such expressions feel quite cold, but localised temperature change is always temporary and the organs return to normal immediately thereafter.

 

After a completed session of Xian Tian Shen Gong (One of three of our tradition's practices), which usually includes choreographed movements of the physical body, respiratory mechanism, subtly energy and spirit - the end of the session is regularly marked by a heaviness in the arms. After prolonged sessions, I've felt like I had two bricks tied to my hands; such can be the sensation after Fu Fa Shen communicates the finality of a guided regimen. On the other hand, the completion of a Xian Tian Jing Zuo (guided seated meditation) session, is sometimes followed by a feeling of a body within your body expanding beyond the limit of your skin and dispersing back whence it came.

 

Xian Tian Qigong practice is probably the most entertaining for bystanders, should you choose to share your session with someone else; for Fu Fa Shen's conduction of your respiratory mechanism, often produces laughable and impolite noises, accompanied by exertions and releases of spontaneous bursts of energy in sharp snapping motions to correspond with the inhalations and exhalations. This is usually done to clear more pronounced blockages within the subtle energy network and it is common for cycles of the same configuration of physical movement and breath movement to be instructed repetitively, sometimes for months, until the energetic impedance of the meridian is neutralised and transformed. When all major blockages have thus beeng cleared, the movements start to normalise and become more homogeneous, until they finally stop; this cessation is an indication that the subtle body has been purified sufficiently and Xian Tian Jing Zuo (guided meditation) can be initiated; through the process of which we continuously funnel energy from Wuji directly into our body with Fu Fa Shen acting as a bridge to "step down" the frequency of the primordial vapour so that it does not damage the physical matter of our body. After our energetic system has developed sufficiently, the functional service of the bridge becomes an integrated attribute of our own personal energy, allowing us to directly absorb Wuji Qi into our system to nourish our spirit, independent of Fu Fa Shen. Many other properties are also acquired in a similar fashion, as a result of ongoing practice, and become adopted as part of our personal tool set, whenever our energy, wisdom and morality reach the prerequisite sufficiency demanded of the respective skill and the responsibility which follows it.

 

Happy Holidays

Xuan Daoji

 

Welcome back, Thelearner. Thank you for your service.
