The Importance of Cleaning the Subtle Bodies
“The voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices of other people’s expectations.”
~Julia Cameron
Keeping our subtle bodies clean is very important for the flow of our vital energy. The assembly of these bodies composes what we call our Energetic, or Auric, Field. Our Energetic Field feeds on vital energy. This vital energy is called Prana, or Qi or Chi, and feeds certain corridors of power that exist in and nourishes these subtle bodies.
The cleaning of the chakras, or centers of emanation and centrifugal energy, is of fundamental importance to metabolize these perfectly. With the Light that passes through them, with the flow through the magnetic axis, it literally feeds every cell in the body. The specific cleaning the Emotional Body is essential in order not to accumulate dark energy that can produce psychosomatic dis-easies.
Before we can heal ourselves, we must first be true to ourselves. The energy of emotional purification will help you forgive yourself for making choices that you did not fully understand at the time. From the moment you are free of regret or sorry for yourself, you can begin to heal, and then will automatically heal everyone around you with radiant unconditional love.
The blockages we often encounter around our Auric field can be called implants, or seeded attitudinal conducts, thoughts and behaviors.
Emotional implants can be of various natures, from implants that represent collective karmic patterns that have been externally imposed through social conditioning and expectations, to ones of personal nature of different life conditions and experiences that we are not emotionally mature enough to process and heal. Some implants, however, can be acquired through your genetic bloodline.
Some of these implants are the karma of our soul that we carry from one incarnation to another. Once incarnated on this 3D planet, the implants are activated and they will continue with the battles of duality, or the Game of Shadows and Light.
The implants can be assimilated in different ways, from many different timelines, locations and situations. There are many different types of implants as they have different purposes.
The last manner in which an implant can be integrated is through associations with different spiritual organizations of a negative nature. On the astral plane, these organizations create an Egregore. This includes any civil, social, or religious institution, and also cults that use mind control and fear to strengthen control over its members. They produce and perpetuate a “monolithic vibration”, as a standard energy signature, that overrules the manifestation of diversity proper of Human nature. Many of these vows of fidelity and service remain until consciously revoked. This is energy that needs to be transmuted.
The clearing of implants from our emotional body is a sensitive process that takes us all from the dualistic timeline of a 3D perspective to multidimensional perspective, to a point where we can safely transmute the emotion and release them away of our physical and emotional levels. How can we begin to “cleanse” the emotional charge that conditions us? A more direct approach would be to look inward with sincerity and recognize the energetic knots that are indirectly and directly preventing us from achieving our best, as programmed before this earthly experience.
After the procedure, your body will become able to sustain a higher energy levels since these embedded programs, which can be tiny energy-dense patterns stored in many energy centers of the body and which are passed on for generations without end, block and make difficult the expansion and upgrade of the level of experience we can gather through the manifestation of our Divine Purpose.

Throughout history, the number 108 has held a multi-dimensional meaning. In geometric terms it is a natural division of circle (108=36+72=9 X 12). In the Eastern part of the world, different traditions talk about the108 navamsas. The Shiva malas[1], or rosaries, both Tantric and Tibetan[2] are composed by 108 beads. The number 108 is also one of great significance inside of the Rosicrucian order, since it exemplifies the time-frame of some of their cycles. Interestingly enough, a leap year displays 366 days and 3 x 6 x 6 gives 108.
The number 108 is considered sacred in many Eastern religions and traditions, such as Hinduism[3], Buddhism, Jainism[4], Sikhism and connected yoga and dharma based practices. Even the pre-historic monument Stonehenge is 108 feet in diameter. 108 is a number known to be referring to spiritual completion, and it is no surprise that the early Vedic sages were renowned mathematicians and in fact invented our number system. 108 is a Harshad Number, an integer divisible by the sum of its digits. Harshad in Sanskrit means “joy-giver”. 108 was the number of choice for this simple reason: 108 represent the whole of existence. There are said to be 108 types of meditation. Some say there are 108 paths to God. Indian traditions have 108 dance forms.
Another interesting example, Hindu deities have 108 names, whilst in Gaudiya Vaishnavism, there are 108 gopis of Vrindavan. Recital of these names, often accompanied by the counting of the 108-beaded Mala, is considered sacred and often done during religious ceremonies. The recital is called namajapa. Accordingly, a mala usually has beads for 108 repetitions of a mantra.
In some schools of Buddhism, it is believed that there are 108 defilements. In Japan, at the end of the year, a bell is chimed 108 times in Buddhist temples to finish the old year and welcome the new one. Each ring represents one of 108 earthly temptations a person must overcome to achieve nirvana. Likewise, Zen priests wear juzu, a ring of prayer beads, around their wrists, which consists of 108 beads. The Lankavatara Sutra[5] has a section where the Bodhisattva Mahamati asks Buddha 108 questions.
In modern Gnosticism, through the teachings of Samael Aun Weor, it is believed that an individual has 108 chances, or lifetimes, to eliminate his egos and transcend the material world before “devolving” and having the egos forcefully removed in the infra-dimensions. In other words, each one of us carries the reminiscent memory cells of at least 108 previous incarnations, which constitutes the body of our incarnational selves. Inside of this essentially holographic template is stored the repository of the emotional and spiritual involvements that your Soul may have experienced and have retained the impression of, but that needed to be cleansed and integrated in order to continue the spiritual evolution.
The Buddhism tradition talks about the 108 earthly desires in mortals, 108 lies humans tell and 108 human delusions[6].
The esoteric presence of the number 108 can be seen in various spiritual practices and theories: In Kriya Yoga, the maximum number of repetitions allowed to be practiced in one sitting is 108. Also, 108 Sun Salutations in yoga practice is often used to honor change, for example the change of seasons, or at a time of tragedy to bring peace, respect and understanding. It is said that if one can be so calm in meditation practicing pranayama to have only 108 breaths a day that enlightenment will come.
Energy Points[7]
There are said to be 108 energy lines, or nadis, converging to form the heart chakra. Marma points are like Chakras, or intersection of energy, with fewer converging energy lines. On Sri Yantra, the Marmas have 54 intersecting energy lines where three lines intersect. Each has feminine, or shakti, and masculine, or shiva, qualities. 54 X 2 = 108. Therefore there are 108 points that define the human body and the Sri Yantra or the Yantra of Creation. The same rule is observed in the Sanskrit language, with its 54 letters, both representing the two genders and they are also called Shiva and Shakti respectively; again, 54 X 2= 108.
Importance in Astronomy and Astrology
The earth cycle is supposed to be of 2160 years = 20 x 108. The distance between the Earth and Sun is 108 times the diameter of the Sun. The diameter of the Sun is 108 times the diameter of the Earth. The distance between the Earth and Moon is 108 times the diameter of the Moon. The universe is made up of 108 elements according to ancient texts. The current periodic table claims a few more than 108.
There are 12 constellation and 9 arc segments. 9 times 12 equal 108. The 9 planets travelling through the 12 signs constitute the whole of existence. 9 x 12 = 108. The 27 nakshatras or lunar constellations spread over the 4 elements – fire, earth, air, water or the 4 directions – north, south, east, and west. This also constitutes the whole of existence. 27 x 4 = 108.

Author of the best-selling translation of the Tao Te Ching
By Carol Ann Wilson
A student, the son of an influential banker, flees mainland China for Hong Kong during the Chinese Civil War and begins a journey that will ultimately lead him to America and the counter-cultural revolution. His story, chronicled in 300 pages of a forgotten biography, was passed down to a virtual stranger who made it her mission to remember the life of Gia-fu Feng.
Born to a wealthy, traditional family in Shanghai, Gia-fu lived through tumultuous periods of exponential change in China. After leaving his homeland for graduate studies in the States, he found himself stranded on the other side of the world with the home he knew crumbling before the world’s eyes.
Landing in the mid-1950s at San Francisco’s American Academy of Asian Studies, Gia-fu unexpectedly found a niche, a place from which to explore who he was. Within a decade, his path took him to Esalen in Big Sur and the human potential movement of the 1960s. Gia-fu went on to found Stillpoint, a Taoist community of families living simply and honestly with each other in nature.
Teacher, translator and Tai Ji master, Gia Fu-Feng is remembered for his colorful life in which he learned and taught alongside some of the twentieth century’s greatest writers and thinkers, including Jack Kerouac and Alan Watts. Through his life and work, he sought to bring the ancient wisdom of the Tao into the modern world. His translation of the Tao Te Ching has sold over 1,250,000 copes and is widely considered to be one of the most readable and influential translations of our time. His translation of Chuang Tsu: Inner Chapters, now published by Amber Lotus in a 35th anniversary edition, has sold over 150,000 copies.
Still Point represents thirteen years of research by dedicated author Carol Ann Wilson, sister to Gia-fu’s heir. Using Gia-fu’s biographical notes and numerous outside sources, Wilson has given us the extraordinary story of a rogue Taoist sage. To catch up on her current projects, visit her at her website.
Still Point of the Turning World: The Life of Gia-fu Feng interweaves the life of translator, teacher, Taoist rogue Gia-fu Feng with the tumultuous historical tapestry of 20th century China and the United States. From Chinese warlords, Japanese occupation, and World War II to 1950s disillusionment, the Beats, Esalen and beyond, the story traces major events and personalities on opposite sides of the world. In the mix is Gia-fu and the Stillpoint community’s best-selling translation of the Tao Te Ching, the ancient Chinese classic that is the most translated book in the world, next only to the Bible.
Told from the perspective of someone who never knew Gia-fu but who became his heir through the untimely death of her beloved sister, Still Point of the Turning World tracks a life that began with external privilege but culminated in the gradual discovery of the still point within.
This book is about far more than the life and times of well-known 20th Century Taoist teacher and author Gia-fu Feng. As in the very best biographies, the reader identifies with the joys and sorrows, the strengths and weaknesses, the challenges and lessons. Gia-fu becomes a mirror for the reader’s own life and soul. Wilson’s work brilliantly explores and juxtaposes critical periods in Chinese and American social and political history—the Japanese invasion of China and the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Communist Revolution and the Beatnik Movement.
And what a cast of characters, from Chairman Mao to Alan Watts! Gia-fu reconciles the contradictions of his age through his radical Gestalt therapy-like approach to life—uncompromising honesty that flies in the face of the Confucian social decorum with which he was raised, spiced with a healthy dose of humor and rascality. His love of nature and the Tao eventually lead him to the still point between yin and yang and to creating an American community in which others can join him in the search for a truth beyond words. I highly recommend At the Still Point of the Turning World. Filled with wisdom and compassion, you will be engaged and entranced by Carol Wilson’s beautifully written book. –Kenneth Cohen
Carol Ann Wilson Biography
Born in the Florida panhandle, Carol Ann Wilson has lived primarily in Colorado. She graduated from Golden (CO) High School in 1962 and continued her education at the University of Colorado in Boulder. There she earned a B.A. in English Literature, M.A. in Social Foundations of Education/Philosophy Emphasis, and Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction.
Carol’s professional life has centered on education and schooling. She taught English at Arvada High School, was an assistant principal at Arvada West High School, and principal at Wheat Ridge High School. During her tenure as principal, her school received the U.S. Office of Education Secondary School Recognition Award and was named one of the top U.S. high schools by Money Magazine. Carol was also named Woman of the Year by the local newspaper, the Wheat Ridge Sentinel. Carol’s service through education continued as assistant superintendent for curriculum in Adams County. She also served as regional coordinator for the National Network for Educational Renewal (NNER), a national collaboration of school-university partnerships.
Beginning in 1984, Carol directed the Colorado Partnership for Educational Renewal (designed to renew schools and teacher education programs), and grew the non-profit organization from six school districts and two colleges/universities to include 16 districts (more than 600 schools) and eight higher education institutions. Building on her work in the humanities through education Carol helped develop a number of national initiatives. These ranged from community engagement, diversity in teaching and teacher education, and teacher leadership. As she was ending her seventeen-year role as director of the Colorado Partnership, she received the University of Colorado’s Alumni Leadership Award from UC Denver.
During the early 1990’s Carol co-founded Stillpoint: A Center for the Humanities & Community to promote a sense of community through the humanities. Programs sponsored by the Center have included poetry readings, author talks, musical events, writers’ workshops, and a visit from Gia-fu Feng’s brother in China, as well as fund-raising efforts for special projects in Poland and Kenya.
Inspired by the visions of her late sister, Margaret Susan Wilson, and Gia-Fu Feng, Carol along with her life partner David Chrislip has been instrumental in not only preserving the 166-acre sanctuary that is Stillpoint, but also supporting the evolution of a legacy begun by the Taoist teacher and countless others who helped create this oasis of peace. Stillpoint presently serves the community in numerous and varied ways, including activities of groups such as Odyssey Expeditionary Learning School, Naropa University’s Wilderness Therapy and Environmental Leadership Programs.
Carol’s role in the world community, like that of Stillpoint itself, continues to grow and evolve. In 2009 the biography of the self-described “Taoist rogue” and author of the best selling translation of the Tao Te Ching, Gia –Fu Feng was published by Amber Lotus Publishing. The book titled Stillpoint of the Turning World is a finalist for two book awards, ForeWord Review’s Book of the Year Award, and the Colorado Authors’ League Top Hand Award. Carol is currently at work on a book about her mother, tentatively titled About Earline.
After a shattering near-death experience, Joyce Whiteley Hawkes left her career as a biophysicist and embarked on a study of indigenous healing practices.
Living and working with priests and shamans in the Philippines, South India, and Bali, she explored the previously uncharted territories that divide biology from spirituality — and discovered that emotional, mental, and spiritual feelings can have a profound and positive impact on our bodies at the cellular level.
Cell-Level Healing shows how our thoughts change the functioning of our cells to repair and renew the body. With profound yet simple exercises, this book provides a guide to tap your innate healing abilities by showing that healing is a basic part of human nature.
Filled with thought-provoking stories and photographs, free of jargon, and thoroughly grounded in Dr. Hawkes’s decades of experience in laboratory science and practical, hands-on healing, Cell-Level Healing invites you to explore your intrinsic powers of transformation and regeneration to attain new levels of spiritual and bodily health.
Questions & Answers
with Joyce Hawkes, Ph.D.
The body is sacred, filled with molecules created in the same sacred way as the universe, according to Joyce Whiteley Hawkes, author of Cell-Level Healing: The Bridge from Soul to Cell. A biophysicist for 15 years, she changed careers in 1984 after a near-death experience opened a bridge to accessing a natural state of compassion.
Q. Society often wants a magic pill to cure illness. But when our body heals naturally, it’s often not a quick cure. Our expectations of healing seem accelerated.
A. There are times in the mystery of all this where healing can occur unexpectedly or instantaneously — I’ve seen it happen. But most of the time, however, it is a healing process that runs with the dimension of time within the body. So cells have certain time dimensions in which they work when they are producing hormones, when they’re creating energy for the cells from breaking down glucose, when it’s time for them to divide for renewal within a particular organ.
And yet, consciousness seems to be without time. So on occasions we touch that quantum level, which also is part of the cell itself and things can happen very quickly.
It is an expectation that we’re going to say the right word, think the right thoughts, wave our hands in the right paths, and all of a sudden everything’s fine and we’re completely healed. I’ve seen a few of those, but mostly my experience has been that it’s a disciplined journey where we have to work with the body, with the timing of the body.
One of the things that’s helpful to know is that your body is healing all the time. In every second you breathe, you have 3 million brand new red blood cells, so the body is geared for healing and it’s natural to it. Some of the work is to relax into the natural tendency of the body to right itself, to come back to that harmonious state.
Q. How are blockages created in the body and how are they released?
A. Blockages occur in lots of ways. There could be a blockage that came with you when you were born, some congenital issue. There are blockages that come from large traumas or the small everyday kind of hurts, pains and difficulties that all of us experience as we grow up and go through life. And those seem to have some kind of a cellular or body memory that keeps people locked in a loop.
So clearing those kinds of blockages at whatever large or small level is really important for healing to penetrate deeply so that you’re not trying to reheal the same thing over and over again.
Blockages can cause specific illness or they can be more systemic where stress is created throughout the body rather than one specific location. You’ve got a generalized response that could be stress related or you might have a specific localized response.
I think in our modern culture, probably many of these are non-localized. They’re general throughout the body because of the many biochemical substances our body creates when we’re stressed.
Q. So if you’re under stress and you’re creating chemicals and hormones, what is the body’s natural response?
A. The response is the classic fight or flight. All of a sudden your blood pressure goes up and you are ready to run, or you’re ready to stop and fight. When we pump ourselves with those kinds molecules day after day, it’s exhausting to the body.
It can lower resistance to illness or it can be as simple as being so focused on what the problem is, you miss the traffic light that’s changed and you inadvertently set yourself up for a car to plow into you because you’re in the wrong place in the intersection.
Our bodies are so resilient and redundant in that they’re created as sustaining and healing temples. It’s repeated problems that bring us to the point where the body suddenly breaks down or it seems sudden. And then we’re ill.
Q. You talk about how most people need a downward flow of energy for good health.
A. You open the crown of your head and invite the universal energy to flow down through your body, down your spine, out your arms, across your hips, down the legs and out the feet. The universe is unlimited and abundant so you don’t have to hang on to the energy. You can let it move through your body and out, and in that sense, it flushes out what you no longer need. It keeps a flow of life consciousness, juice energy for you available all the time.
Simply imagine the spirals of universal energy. Take a deep breath and invite in spirals of universal energy. Imagine it flowing through the whole body and that the body is just soaking it up and embracing it. With the in-breath, invite in the spiral and with the out-breath, sink into your body and into that place. Or take three or four breaths that are focused simply on bringing in the energy.
Q. It’s funny how spiritualism can be very head oriented. Surrendering to the body and tapping into your inner healer is a challenge.
A. The inner healer is not accessed by cranking through the gears of the mind. The inner healer arises somewhere else. It feels like it rises out of the mystery. It feels like it’s deep in the body, somewhere between my heart and my solar plexus. It’s as if the thoughts actually block being closer to it.
Q. Cell-Level Healing shares many tools for healing diseases. Can you recommend a practice for increasing energy and vitality during life’s daily stress?
A. I meditate on the four functions of each cell. First you focus on the information in the cell and ask that all information be encoded correctly. Second is communication between cells, which is crucial to our good health that communication move smoothly.
Third is the power pack of the cell, which creates all of the energy that keeps us alive. Without it, we’re gone. And that’s one of the places that stress hits us the most. It’s in the organelle called the mitochondria. So to work with energy flowing deep inside each cell to these power houses, that they may be working smoothly without damage, is incredibly important. Fourth is the action part of cell where proteins are made for the structure of the cell, for all the enzymes of the cell – focus on that aspect of our cell function not being blocked and moving smoothly.
The biochemistry of stress blocks many of the normal, healthy functions of repair in the cell. We want to clear out whatever those molecules of stress are so that the body can function completely healthy with these four main functions.
Q. You had your brainwaves mapped by neurological researchers. What did they find?
A. They found my brain works weirdly. Most of us run beta waves just walking around – that’s our thinking mind. When we’re peaceful and happy, and we see something beautiful, we run alpha waves. Delta waves occur in the brain of people in deep states of sleep – they’re not usually found in a waking state. My brain runs beta, so it’s alert and aware and thinking, and delta in a waking state at the same time.
That has been found to be the case in Tibetan monks who have meditated 50,000 hours or more. It seems to be a product of compassion meditation. And I live in that state – it’s not just when I’m doing healing work or meditating, but I walk around like that now.
What I experience in myself is a sense of well being and listening. It’s as if my alert mind is listening for guidance or aware of the larger reality all the time. And it’s been consistent – I was tested in 2002, 2005 and 2006 so it’s not an anomaly.
Q. What is your daily meditation practice?
A. I meditate for half-hour to an hour in the morning, and on and off throughout the day. I stop for a minute and I’m so grateful for my life and what I get to do. Then I stop to simply make a connection and allow energy to flow through my body. When I’m working with people, I’m in a constant state of experience of that flow.
We all sit down to have a cup of tea or coffee. In those moments can be a moment of mediation, appreciation and blessings.
Q. If the body could give us a message, what would it be?
A. I have a sacred gift from the creator of the universe. I bring the resources of consciousness to you. You can trust me. I am a natural healer.

Dr. Hawkes is the founder of Healing Arts Associates and maintains a private practice at her office in Seattle. She keeps a busy schedule of teaching and conference presentations in the Seattle area, across the the US and abroad.
Joyce’s fascinating science, stories and rapport with audiences has made her a popular radio and television guest. She has been a featured guest of Art Bell on Coast to Coast Radio and George Noory. Joyce was featured on a national TV special with Diane Sawyer (seen on Turning Point and on Good Morning America), She was also filmed in Japan in 2005 for a documentary. Her brain wave patterns were tested with EEG recordings during meditation (see image upper right) and while doing healing work (lower right) The results were quite unusual, according to Dr. Akio Mori, of Nihon University, Tokyo, Japan. “I’ve never seen anyone with as highly focused brain patterns as Dr. Hawkes,” he said.
The Biology of Intuition with author Joyce Whitely Hawkes, Ph.D. A scientist turned healer Joyce reveals the tremendous power being generated by the body at the cellular level and offers insight into the nature of intuition, healing, and protection in the human experience. Joyce is the author of Cell-Level Healing: The Bridge from Soul to Cell.
In Ken Cohen’s Qigong: Traditional Chinese Exercises for Healing Body, Mind, and Spirit, you will learn ancient techniques for harnessing the massive power of qi literally, the vital breath or energy of the universe. Thousands of years before the establishment of Western medicine, Chinese masters perfected a system of gentle movements and meditative postures that can channel qi into the body for detoxifying, energizing, and healing. Ken Cohen, preeminent qigong master in the West, presents authentic practices on Qigong. Using easy-to-follow language and dozens of demonstrations, Cohen shares a complete four-part workout you can practice any time you have a few minutes and enough room to stand and stretch.
The veiling of Tao wisdom allows our assumption that we are only now discovering life energy and all of its marvelous potential. May you enjoy the wisdom of Tao and open the door of your own life energy to find the wonders that await you.
Each one of us is endowed with a piece of the one original energy, the Tao. This energy, through a series of transformations, becomes our Chi. Our body is made of dust (material), which is amassed and propelled by the invisible force and activities of Chi.
When you see the physical form of a friend, you are not seeing the real her, but only the material from which she is made. Have you had the experience of attending a funeral or wake? If you were able to gaze upon the corpse of the person you once knew, you could easily see that “they” were no longer there. The force that animated their body held the real person you knew, not the lifeless material in the casket.
Similarly, you might claim to have seen a tornado either in real life or on television. But actually, you did not “see” the tornado. What you saw was merely the debris that the tornado churned up and held together in form. The actual force we call a tornado was the invisible part you could not see that held the whirling debris together and gave it power.
Similarly, it is our Chi that holds us together, animates us, and makes us who we really are. It is our True Self. It is the source of consciousness, awareness, and life. Without it, nothing lives.
While our invisible life force signal, Chi, is in orderly action, life thrives and well-being abounds. Conversely, when this signal of the life force, Chi, is in decay, becoming weak, or in the process of disintegrating, the “life” of the material body is in a chaotic state. When Chi deteriorates, suffering predominates, even leading to death.
Since this life energy signal is composed of the memory of the cosmic force, it can behave only according to the law of its nature: it is always in motion, transient, and dynamically playful. These are the same characteristics of the one universal energy from which your Chi came.
Because of its likeness and affinity to the original cosmic force, our life energy signal is capable of harmonizing with that original cosmic force. Our life energy can tune into the signal of the original natural force and follow its direction.
It can harmonize with the One-chi in order to continue, to multiply, adjust to changes, to fine-tune itself, to adapt and “survive.” Your Chi will always seek to harmonize itself, and will always seek balance as best it can. It will cause you to take action that will bring harmony and balance to your life and body.
The degree to which your Chi signal can maintain its integrity and clear reception of the original One-chi signal, is the extent to which your Chi is able to succeed in maintaining harmony and the force of life within your body. The degree to which your Chi signal is confused, weakened and off-balance, is due to factors that muffle and block the signal from the One-chi.
Why You Can no Longer Feel Your Life Energy
Ironically, it is a natural process for the continuing momentum of Chi to move toward imbalance between its two opposite forces. In our lives, Chi imbalance is virtually inevitable. There are three primary causes that push our life energy signal, the Chi, to move toward imbalance.
One of the biggest factors leading toward Chi imbalance is the use of our mind. When Chi, the life energy signal, converts into a mental signal, it is gradually depleted and weakened. Paradoxically, the use of our mind is a natural and necessary part of the human life cycle, and part of our growing up and our survival.
A second way that our Chi becomes imbalanced is our increasing involvement with the artificial world. As we involve ourselves in the world of man-made ideas and concepts, we divorce ourselves further from our original natural feeling.
Finally, negative signals from the environment also constantly bombard and assault the human life energy signal. These negative signals interfere with, contaminate, and otherwise disrupt the balance of Chi. When a person has a confrontation with a strong negative signal, Chi can be knocked off-balance. Sometimes negative signals can damage Chi so severely, they can disable the signal of life energy or cause the person’s total destruction. Let’s look at these causes of Chi imbalance one by one.
The Detachment between Life Energy and Mind Energy
While we are growing up, we must “learn” how to respond to the outside world to stay alive, to thrive and to multiply. To “learn” is a process. Through interaction between a living entity and its surroundings, that entity records and accumulates useful outside information. Humans also learn how to “think”—to make choices based on values. This ability to make choices based on values spawns the creation of a complex artificial world in both our individual mind and in our collective society as a whole.
Artificial symbols and mental concepts are useful tools to improve the odds of survival and to secure better physical living conditions. For example, language, laws, currency, customs and social structures are merely agreed upon values. But no one can question that they all contribute to our survival and civilization. Yet these artificial activities come with a very high price tag. Why? Artificial mind activity wears out our life energy.
Consider a newborn baby. She need not think or worry, she simply feels and lives by her life energy. She cries, smiles, sleeps and plays, simply following the natural flow of her Chi, nothing else. But as soon as she “learns” how to respond and communicate joyfully with her mother, her Chi migrates quickly to her brain to fuel such mind activity.
Previously, her life energy was powered simply by its own pure and natural signal.
Her Chi, completely self-sustained, originally fine-tuned, in harmony, had no need of any outside input to stay in balance. But after her introduction to and interaction with an outside message, her mind activities gradually become more predominant than her life energy activities. Instead of reacting to life energy, Chi, for life activities, she learns to respond to an artificial signal with her mind…
