Daoist Magic at the Temple
Dr Rev Dennis Alexander
with Dr Jerry Alan Johnson, Executive Director of the Overseas
College of Medical Qigong, Henan University of Traditional Chinese
Medicine in Beijing, China.
The Sentient Temple is currently offering to the public a unique
opportunity to study and practice this ancient, powerful art of
Chinese Mysticism.
Liu An,
Prince of Huai Nan, liked to surround himself with magicians (Fang
Shi) who all distinguished themselves with various magical skills.
Some of these sorcerers could make a river flow simply by drawing a
line on the ground; some could gather up earth to form mountains and
precipices; other sorcerers could use their breathing to influence
the temperature, inducing winter and summer at will; still other
sorcerers could, by simple sneezing and coughing, create rain or
fog. In the end, the Prince eventually disappeared with those
magicians.” Book of Records Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-220 A.D.)
The understanding of Daoist Mysticism in the West has been hampered
by the lack of accessibility to the true knowledge of ancient
Chinese magic. This esoteric information only survived through
centuries of secrecy, traditionally handed down from master to
student.
Even in China today, the general public has no true awareness of the
incredible power hidden within the secret art of ancient Daoist
Mysticism. Unless specifically sponsored and initiated as a Dizi
(disciple), most individuals who wish to study esoteric Daoism only
have access to monasteries that commonly perform ceremonies
popularized by "Religious" Daoist sects (which are sanctioned and
controlled by the government).
The theory and
practical application of ancient Chinese Sorcery is really no
different in training than other popular schools of esoteric Magic.
For example, there are nine levels of ranking, each level requires
the mastery of specific Alchemical Transformations, Magical Skills,
and Magical Tools, etc.
Ancient occult magic was never intended to replace orthodox
religion, but rather to complement it in its quest for a deeper
understanding of esoteric spirituality. Through the alchemy of
prayer and meditation, an individual can be transformed into an
enlightened or “awakened” state of consciousness.
Several of the ancient meditation practices, magical techniques and
Shengong exercises described herein are currently practiced within
the secret societies throughout the world, including the Peoples
Republic of China, Tibet, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Indonesia.
We at the Temple of the Celestial Cloud are currently offering to
the public a unique opportunity to study and practice this ancient,
powerful art of Chinese Mysticism.
