TAOIST DEVELOPMENT LINE

Through the Universal Tao practices, this peak state can be maintained and even improved upon during the following decades. Getting older does not have to mean getting weaker. Many Taoist masters become more fit as they grow older, which has been confirmed by Western doctors. For Taoist practitioners, advancing in years means advancing in experience, intelligence, and wisdom, and integrating greater energy in the body. When the sun and North Star connections are open, your whole life will be inspired and guided by the unlimited wisdom of the universe. The connection with the light will enable you to lead an active but peaceful life. You will still experience the growth of the soul through the more emotional influences of the planetary spheres, but the spiritual connection will allow you to observe this process, see the deeper reality through the ups and downs of emotions, and integrate these energies within the physical body.

In this way the energy of our experiences is integrated to nurture our consciousness. Rudolf Steiner said that the goal in life is to balance the planetary qualities to reach the highest state in the solar system, which he called “the sun awareness.” During excarnation, the soul will move again through the planetary world and will be purified from all earthly, materialistic, and emotional experiences. The fruits of the life just completed are harvested and condensed to form the seeds for the next life. This process is continued outside the planetary sphere in the world of stars and the immaterialized realm of vibrations.

In the Universal Tao, the “fusion of the five elements” practice is used to balance the qualities of the five elements in the body. This practice is also called internal alchemy. (See the Universal Tao publication Fusion of the Five Elements for a detailed explanation of this ancient Taoist practice.) After strengthening and purifying the body through the basic practices and fusion practice, the energy and virtues of the five vital organs (kidney, heart, spleen, lungs, and liver) are cultivated. (See Taoist Cosmic Healing, Inner Smile Practice.) These energies are gathered in collection areas (the pa kua collection points) around the navel. From these collection points, the energy is blended, purified, and stored in the lower Tan Tien.

Through these practices, the energy is condensed until it becomes a radiating pearl, located at the original meeting point where the information of the first cell and basic spark of the body is kept (in the area of the small intestine). Taoists use the metaphor of the “pearl” or “crystal” to refer to this highly concentrated, purified energy. The pearl is cultivated and slowly transformed into spiritual energy. It becomes the house of the soul and spirit body as well as one’s balance, control, and universal connection point.

Once the pearl is cultivated, it can serve to open different energy channels in the body and enable one to travel, via one’s consciousness, outside the physical body into the worlds of the planets, stars, and vibrations. The pearl has the
