word that signifies the natural way of life. Each of you must find
your Tao, open your channels and essentially make your system.
When you are the least bit successful in this endeavor you will
realize how truely priceless such knowledge is. You will learn how
to pity the very people who might have caused you great anguish,
as much by your own interpretation of their action as by their un-
written display of their own troubled minds.
In first level work we learn how to relax to a much deeper de-
gree than we are ordinarily able to. Here we learn to ‘smile’ to the
heart and to fill the heart with ‘love’ and then let that ‘love’ radiate
throughout our whole system. You have to know how to love your-
self. You have to know how to love your organs. If you can’t love
your organs or yourself, how can you be able to love others?
It is best that everyone in a household practice. Then they can
all improve. If there is just one practitioner, he or she would pro-

there were just one breadwinner in the house and everyone else is
living off of him. Were they all to work, they would all share equally
and all prosper equally.
The foundation for all subsequent practice is the Microcosmic
Orbit, Seminal Ovarian Kung Fu, Iron Shirt Chi Kung and Tai Chi
Chi Kung. Seminal Ovarian Kung Fu is important in sealing the
lower centers as the front door and the back door, the reproductive
organs and the anus, to prevent a leakage of energy. The Fusion of
Five Elements prevents further leakage through the five sense or-
gans. Iron Shirt Chi Kung is important in storing energy and Tai Chi
Chi Kung helps bring energy to your hands and legs. You can see
that what I teach is an entire system.

was not until the late 1960’s and 70’s that attention began to focus
on the higher stages of yogic development in which a phenom-

is the sudden release of vast untapped reservoirs of creative en-
ergy that transports an ordinary human being into states of higher
consciousness and bestows upon him or her unique creative pow-
