Patience and Prolonged Practice are the only keys

"...patience and practice are the keys to success and in the meantime you should focus on the journey, not the goal."

"Sexual potency is absolutely indispensable to spiritual progress, for sexual energy is the key for making all the breakthroughs on the spiritual path. A sexually weak or impotent person has no hope whatsoever of reaching the higher stages of spiritual development, because he can not muster sufficient energy. He or she must first fully restore sexual vitality through detoxification, proper nutrition, breathing and exercise, and well-regulated sexual intercourse, then use this enhanced sexual potency as bottomless battery of power to propel the spirit to ever-higher realms of experience on the wings of pure vitality."

"During love making, partners may intersect their Microcosmic Orbits by touching tongues, and if the man retains his semen, they may inter circulate their energies internally. This completes de circuit of "dual cultivation", causing Yin and Yang energies from man and woman to flow from one into the other and back again, with their linked genitals forming the lower terminals and linked tongues forming the upper terminals of their enhanced Microcosmic Orbits."


"Just try to keep the mind as light and empty as possible, while leisurely exploring the inner channels for energy, and above don't worry about "results". It requires many words to describe this, but in actual practice it all occurs spontaneously, nonverbally, and totally intuitively. Patience and prolonged practice are the only keys that can open the gates of the Microcosmic Orbit."


"Shut off the three external treasures of hearing, sight and speech in order to cultivate the three internal treasures of essence, energy and spirit."


"True cosmic wisdom transcends all arbitrary human knowledge with direct, overwhelming awareness of Tao. This awareness and wisdom can be achieved only by transmutting ordinary spirit into cosmic spirit, a long and difficult process in which the adept gradually peels away layer upon layer of illusion and sheds ordinary knowledge until he uncovers the precious pearl of original spirit."

"As a child grows older and becomes socialized, this shining pearl gets buried ever deeper in the mental morass of education, obscured by passion and desire, dulled by the dust of illusion, and drowned in the murky waters of discursive thought. It is our most precious possession and our most uniquely human attribute, but due to our infatuation with the external physical world and its passing phenomena, most people go through life without ever realizing its existence, though everyone gets a glimpse of it at the moment of death.
The purpose of meditation is to peel away the layers of illusion, passion and conceptual thought so that the precious pearl of original spirit can fill our consciousness with the lustrous light of cosmic insight. The precious pearl of original spirit is our one and only immortal link to the universe. It is the immortal spiritual seed that is released from the flesh at death and replanted in the womb when new life is conceived."


"The generative force changes into vitality when the body is still; vitality changes into spirit when the heart is unstirred; and spirit returns to nothingness because of immutable thought."

"The lower Elixir Field under the navel is where generative force (essence) is sublimated into vitality (energy); the middle Elixir Field in the solar plexus is where vitality is sublimated into spirit; and the upper Elixir Field in the brain is where the spirit is sublimated for its flight into space."


"Let the Void be your cauldron; let Nature be your furnace; for your primary ingredient, take stillness;   for your reagent, use quietude; for mercury, take your vital essence; for lead, use your vital energy; for water, use restraint; for fire, take meditation."
