Resonance And Transcendence With Great Nature: A Guide For Understanding The Mind, Reality And Enlightenment

Resonance and Transcendence with Great Nature is a guide book for understanding the essence of material existence and consciousness, the relationship between materiality and mentality, and the path of enlightenment according to Taoist internal alchemy practice. Primarily serving as a preface for the book Discourse on Chuang Tzu, this book appears separately due to its wide coverage of Buddhist and Taoist theory, as well as modern physics concerning the compositional structure of materiality. Emancipating the mind from bondage constitutes the first step for enlightenment. By taking this first step, and allowing the miniature universe of the human body to resonate with the great nature found in the Mysterious Pass, people can walk along the correct path of enlightenment. In doing so, they may attain Oneness, where Jing, Qi and Shen are unified, thereby transforming consciousness into enlightening wisdom, gaining transcendence from the mundane world, and attaining release from the bondage of encumbrance and afflictions. This book provides clear and thorough explanations of terminologies and processes in Taoist transformative meditation, illustrating a sort of internal cultivation and purification practice based in the foundations of the I-Ching (the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams). It offers theory that students receive from meditation teachers in the Taoist mountains of China, to keep them on the right path in their self-cultivation, and explains the many correlations between Taoist, Buddhist, Confucian theory and practice. This guide also prepares readers for the book Discourse on Chuang Tzu which people may not have known about but have been waiting for! It includes esoteric explanations of Chuang Tzu's many puns and uses of poetic language, detailed histories of the many obscure characters and events within these stories, and revelations of passages which may seem almost arbitrary to readers without author's insights into Taoist practice, history, foundations, terminologies, etc., unfolding the poetic tapestry of meanings within the Chuang Tzu that only a Taoist adept of author's background and experience could explain.
