Chinese Alchemy

Chinese Alchemy Victor. Arturo. Cabello. Reyes.🌹 "We must learn to understand and contemplate the All from the point of view of the ALL." (GOBIN) The Master Dragon Alchemists of the Golden Flower are ancient brotherhood and millennial brotherhood of light, dominating solar forms of the cyclic Great Dragon-Uroboros Energy Flow. They, Master=True Man=Chén-jén, walking the path of the sacred Elixir of GOLD=jindan zhido and who eagerly seek the Primordial substance from the mouth of the spermatic liquid of the solar dragon=jin-i. It is substantially the same internal alchemical foundation of the knowledge system of The Dance of the Dragon of Celestial Jade = Daoyin or movement that guides the serpentine Flow towards the alchemical purification of the Jade Heart and which agrees in its essence and content with the Light of Heaven-Heart of Heaven. All this, through the private and sacred acquisition of the soft and purifying Perfume of the germinal substance of The Golden Flower through the Divine Art. Therefore, it is likely that there is that same essence of the ALL=Arche-Azoth, flowing in endless spirals as the starting point of the WHOLE= Moist and mercurial basic substance trapped in the Sulphurous Fire Sphere of the Dragon's Mouth Florido and Ouroboros. (Olympiodorus in Codex Marciannus, Library of Venice) The Mysterium is to succeed in "suffocating the alchemical Dragon". Thus, for example, in the germinal vesicle there is essence or consciousness = sing and ''life'' = ming. (Secret of the Golden Flower, 41) The Dragon and Flower Masters recommend: "Unless the head has integrated the Dragon's Tail, All Substance is Nothing. Take the Dragon's Head; but beware of the Tail'' ''Le Serpent ou Dragon qui se mord la queue (ouroboros) est plus significatif encore: c'est le symbole de L'oeuvre, qui n'a ni commencement ni fin''. (Manuscript: Ms 2. 250, Fol. 45. Marcelin Berthelot, Les Origines de l'Alchimie, Paris, 1885, p.p.58-59, 114) And, indeed, it is the well-known sublimation-distillation of Drakos-Draco-Drakon = the majestic dragon serpent. Interestingly, that quintessential Chinese Dragon and custodian looks hungry... or better... As the Greeks called their fiery gaze of the spirit = 'derkesthai' = looking or casting fleeting glances. Cosmological guardian and repeater of the cycle, the Cosmogonic principle is the Uroboros = The ONE, THE ALL - bites its tail, teaching the cyclical renewal of the whole and alchemical Operation that proceeds from the One and Returns to the One. However, it is the case, of being vital substance, milk or juice = Celestial dew and draconic-mercurial wet principle. ''Alchemical ideas appear to have arisen in China as early as the fifth century B.C.,and alchemy is said to have been actively pursued in that country from 300 B.C. onwards'' (Journal of Chemical Education, Science Society of China, Y.Y.Tsa'o) It is the moist basic substance or basic matter originating from the starting point of the Universal Principle of ALL = Arché. Primordial aqueous alchemical substance: maternal-paternal and sphere of celestial fire. Marie Louise Von Franz says: "The <> word in Greek is theios, which also means sulphur, so it can be translated as divine water..., or sulphurous water, since sulphur was considered a divine substance. It is water, the liquid of the divine substance. (Alchemy p.148 ) Similarly, The Mysterium Coniunctionis that Jung dedicated to sulfur as an active part of the psyche and a very important component of the alchemical work. The dragon-sulphur-serpent of life flows between the opposite principles between the primitive antagonistic forces of the masculine + solar - sulphur and feminine - mercurial lunar. Three Dragoons guard the square courtyard of the Louvre – Paris. (Bernard Roger, The Secret Enigmas of Alchemy p.248) Thus, the mythos-anthropology of ancient and millenary China has come down to us in an impoverished state and fragmented among its most traditional sources and in its main historical and reconstructive attempts. There are multiple documentary-archaeological or thematic fragments that abound in fragments and varied texts. The First Dynasty of the Hsia is subtly hidden remotely underhanded and almost lost among the whims of Chinese historians and moralists. They could not see, much less delve into, those stories and documents. They understood that they were too fantastic, magical and wonderful, not truthful. Thus, ignoring and rejecting the valuable and complex ancient stories. We see, the great and currently reconsidered Shu-King that relates Legends of the Lineage of Sages. Lineage of the Ancient Dragon-Sage-Old Yao, spiritual receiver. Or, the 'receiver' of Sacred Tradition, Shun. Dragon Masters of the GOLDEN FLOWER🌹 = Light of Heaven, who seek the life-giving gnosis underlying the "germinal vesicle" principle of periodic, alchemical and internal astrological synchronicity. They are the Divinities of the Sacred Dragon, who incarnate in historical characters of the millenary tradition, between Five Sacred Mountains = Heng-chan, Song-kao, Hua-chan, T'ai-chan and Heng-chan. It is part of that rich spiritual legacy that they left hidden and guarded from the Original Wise King Dragons, whose historical tradition is evidenced, between the end of the fourth and third millennium. "The Ancient Masters were subtle, Mysterious, Profound and Sensitive. The Depth of His Knowledge is Unfathomable. Since He is Unfathomable, the only thing we can do is Describe His Appearance." (Book of the TAO) It is the Lion Dance = Purification for the Heart by generating The Pearl of Energy. Chi-Chi=Form-Energy-Mind=Three Treasures of the dragon master's intimately fused to the Path of the Tao. Chinese Alchemy = Lien Tan = Transformation Pill. Currently, the incipient Chinese archaeology is busily looking for firm, solid and forceful evidence that can shed new light on the enigmatic dynasty; Hsia (2205-1776 B.C.??) Recent evidence and fundamental studies of 'archaeological' documents are found that we can date back to millennia 5 and 6 BC. After 1776 B.C., the matter will be verifiable, and perhaps we will be able to touch solid wood. The Dragon-Wise Man = the one who contemplates the Cosmos and within it identifies with Him, since he bestows the (wai-tan) Wisdom and rejuvenates in active longevity. "If life is prolonged, we can meet the Immortals" (Li Shao-Chun, 2nd century B.C.) The adept is prepared and enabled to be able to correctly walk the Path or Path of the Celestial Dragon as a powerful and True Celestial Naut. They are Masters who come down from the mountains = (Plateau of Tibet), and who enter -originally- 'carrying the wrappings' of Wisdom of the Sacred Bird and Dragon. Wise astrologers-astronomers-mathematicians who, according to ancient tradition, were four brothers Ho and Hi. Knight warriors of the Wisdom of the Dragon and the Sacred Turtle, spiritual motif of Chinese alchemy. ''If you regulate your body and unify your attention; The Harmony of Heaven Will Descend upon You." (Lin Yutang) Extremely rigorous observers of the cycles of constant becoming and Spiral of the Celestial Dragon. They knew what in ancient times was told from generation to generation that had happened on the Sacred Turtle Mountain from where the Yellow Monarch and the Wise Men had to face the Great Firestorm. We follow the ritual Epiphany of the consecration on the Sacred Mountain. Yi, hunter of the moon, in the Heavens seeks to steal the elixir, the divine Wai-Tan. But is transformed into a frog, and then the 'rabbit'-hare magically prepares on the lunar disc. The Holy Elixir = Wai Tan = outer elixir and Nei Tan = Inner Elixir. Mircea Eliade, regarding these influences of Chinese prehistory: "It is equally plausible that protohistoric China received numerous cultural elements of Western origin, spread throughout Siberia and the steppes of Central Asia." (History of Religious Beliefs II) Documentary evidence and village traditions lead us to the Dragon Lords of The Golden Flower = Chanes. "The Flower🌹 of GOLD is the Light, and the Light of Heaven is TAO... "reveal the Secret of the Great ONE's Golden Flower" (C. G. Jung and R. Wilhelm, THE SECRET OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER) Chang Ti is lord of the High and Ti = organizer of cosmic cycles and atmospheric phenomena. In the Sacred Magic Time of Yao... The Giant P'an Ku emerges from the original duality of the Primordial Egg of the Cosmic Turtle. Its head resembles a 'Sacred Peak' of the beautiful Feathered Green Bird- Cosmic to which shine stars in its luminous eyes = Sun and Moon. The cosmic tree-Kien-Mu will be the central place where the Sacred Green Bird-Green Dragon settles. Sacred tree, which unites in its trunk the regions below and above. Heaven and earth = Yang and Yin. Inner concentration of the Light of consciousness emanating from the personal solarization of the Logos spermatikos. Sacred waters of the Dragon's Gate! ''The Dragon breathes with the Tiger and the Tiger receives the spirit from the Dragon. They mutually inspire and benefit. They eat and devour one another''. (Wei Po-yang, Ts'an T'ung Ch'i) Ancient fight against the cosmic monster Kong-Kong. Water-earth-air-fire are solidarized with planetary analogies potentially embodied in the circulating Energy of the Green Dragon=Chi. Always purifying the center of the lion's dance = Coronary purification to generate the Great Pearl of Energy and Source of the birth of the celestial Jade Dragon. 5 elements that must be in TOTAL harmony in the body of the adept = Body-Mind-Spirit in balance that is subtracted from the "energy of EVERYTHING that grows". Tao = Wisdom of Cosmic-Human Harmony that arises from the natural alchemical composition of the fluctuating relationship and interrelation of Heaven-Earth = kuie-shen. The most recent archaeological discoveries of the site of Siao T'uen yield new evidence - voluminous - in inscriptions and in archaic characters written on the "turtle shells". By the Wisdom of the Turtle Shell beads the Chinese sages had a complex system of astronomical-astrological-calendrical and divinatory beads. The Chinese Draco guards the original tree of Ancient and Ancient Wisdom. "Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know'' (Lao Tzu🌹) ''We must learn to understand and contemplate the Whole from the point of view of the ALL'' (GOBIN🌹) The alchemical tradition of the masters of the GOLD flower develops in rhythmic binary combinations evidenced in their set of opposing qualities yang = luminous, hot-positive, formative, dry-active and odd and yin = cold-negative-feminine, wet-passive and even. It is the Way of the Sky Fire Dragon is possibly the Arcana of Ching Chi = sexual energy. Purity-Integrity-Humility as a Way🌹 and Way of Life. The Chinese ORAL Tradition is based on Treatises to produce the alchemical long-lived elixirs that are sustained by the constant dual alternation between two cyclical and Universal principles of Yin and Yang. Let us remember they are two sacred elixirs wai tan = outer elixir and nei tan = inner elixir. (Wei Po-yang, An Ancient Chinese Tratise on Alchemy, 142 B.C.) "If you don't know how to sit still in this CRAZY World, you'll be dragged into all sorts of unnecessary troubles. You will lose your vision of the Path and, ''when you realize it'', it will be too LATE, since by Losing the way, you will have lost yourself too''. (Book by Lie Tzu)\ Blessings galore to ALL. Let's go to JADE's Dragon Dance! Victor. Arturo. Cabello. Reyes.🌹
