Cosmic Healing II

Chapter III

Chinese Astrology and the Laws of the Universe....................................................

As human beings we are the highest manifestation of the Cosmic light which has its origin

directly in the Tao, the oneness. The life we lead now originated from this source. From

this one unlimited intelligence a process of densifying/materialization or multiplication has

led to your individual incarnation or manifestation in the physical realm. Taoist philosophy

describes this process as ‘the one giving birth to the two’. The interaction between the

two, further differentiates into the world of phenomena. To connect to the spiritualizing

spiral of true intelligence that we are, will strengthen the connection to the Tao. This

process will deepen through astronomical information (observation) and meditation (ex-

plained further, later in this book).

In Chinese cosmology and philosophy the world of duality yin/yang, gives birth to the

triple unity. This triple unity we find in the three basic energies in the universe (universal,

cosmic and earth) and the interaction between heaven, man and earth. In the body, the

interaction of heaven and earth forces (two) gives birth to the three Tan Tiens.
