Taoist cultivation guide for ordinary people to open their apertures
paulpeng
Heaven and earth have apertures that give birth to all things. Ordinary people open their apertures and connect with heaven and earth.
When the mind is empty, nature is calm. When nature is calm, the aperture opens. When one's nature is ethereal and empty, the aperture opens and has capacity. Thus, it can respond to all things and there is a correspondence between the inside and outside.
The nature of ordinary people is originally empty and void. Once it enters the post-natal state, it turns into solidity. When it is solid, the aperture is blocked and there is none. It is difficult to pass through. Therefore, there is a separation between humans and heaven. People are born and die, and it is difficult to transcend. For those who practice cultivation, they must cultivate their nature to make it empty. The aperture is reopened and returns to the pre-natal state.
The pre-natal aperture is precious when it is alive and not when it is dead. If it is dead, it is difficult to form all things in the post-natal state. The aperture is " jiǎo" under the acupoint. When the pre-natal essence is full, the aperture moves. When the pre-natal qi is sufficient, the aperture opens. When the pre-natal spiritual powers are manifested, the aperture unfolds.
When the three flowers are satisfied and the spiritual aperture is formed, when one aperture is opened, all apertures are bright. If there is a connection in the heart, it is understood with a single touch. If one is as dull as a block of wood, one is completely ignorant. If one is completely ignorant like chaos, it is the unity of heaven and man. If one is clever and has all seven apertures connected, heaven and man are distinct.
The Kan water is full and solid. The Li fire is hollow and empty. When it is empty, the aperture opens and the mysterious pass appears. When emptiness forms an aperture, this aperture is not an ordinary aperture. It is opened by the true fire of pre-natal true nature.
It is neither the mind nor the intention. Therefore, one must not use one's thoughts recklessly. There is ingenuity hidden in clumsiness. It can be observed with the pre-natal illuminating mind. It is difficult to obtain with the post-natal deluded mind.
The mysterious pass is an aperture in the void. It is an extremely clear aperture. It is formed by the light of nature. It is a pre-natal aperture. Since it is not post-natal, it does not fall on the physical body. It is difficult to find its trace on a person.
However, this aperture is not far from the human body. It is just the separation between the pre-natal and post-natal. For example, if one looks for leaves on a seed, it is impossible to obtain. One must first make the seed germinate, and then there will be leaves.
However, if one looks for leaves far from the seed, it is also biased. At this time, the seed has no leaves, but the tree formed by the seed at that time has leaves. This is the natural principle, and the principle of alchemy is also like this.
This principle is very clear. How can those who practice cultivation not understand it! Therefore, "Understanding the Truth" says: "This aperture is not an ordinary aperture. It is formed by heaven and earth. It is called the acupoint of spirit and qi. Inside there is Kan.
The mysterious pass is an extraordinary aperture. It is an extremely clear and empty aperture in the pre-natal state. The empty apertures in the human body are connected with the empty apertures in heaven and earth. This is the foundation of the unity of heaven and man. When the aperture is opened and appears, one can connect with the wonderful nothingness in the pre-natal state.
Among the eight gates, the Resting Gate is where the mysterious pass is located. Without obtaining this aperture, it is ultimately difficult to enter the gate of immortality.
Opening the mysterious aperture without thought or action. There is a spontaneous connection to heaven when there is a silent perception. When one understands, everything becomes clear. The mystery of heaven is within. The wonderful connection to all things lies in the mystery within the mystery. When the first yang begins to move, it is the mysterious pass. When the mysterious pass has an image, it is extraordinary.
The true opportunity lies in the latent dragon not being used. The taste of the mysterious liquor is light in the middle of the night. There is thunder underground and the root of heaven is there. There is wind and moon in the sky and one can observe the cave. When one aperture is opened, heaven and earth are obtained. All apertures reflect each other and the sun and moon are round.
The mysterious pass can transcend the ordinary. Clinging to forms is all illusion. Heaven and earth have apertures and can give birth. Ordinary people can connect with heaven when their apertures are opened. The mysterious pass is a pre-natal aperture and cannot be sought in the post-natal state.
The pre-natal is extremely clear, while the post-natal flows with turbidity. The pre-natal is empty and the post-natal is solid. When it is solid, it must be opened in a solid way. When it is empty, it must be opened in an empty way. The ways of opening apertures are different.
In the dual cultivation of life and nature in alchemy, for those on the path of yang, the primary task is to guard the ancestral aperture. Also, use emptiness without falling into emptiness. Guarding emptiness does not mean responding to emptiness. When there is emptiness, there can be capacity. Do not cling to solidity but must use emptiness. Knowing without guarding is the orthodox way. Seemingly guarding but not really guarding is to obtain the truth. In the profound and obscure state, one can naturally connect.
Responding to solidity in emptiness. Seeing the great in the small. The gates and apertures are connected. Empty yet not empty. Isn't the application of this aperture great! Scholars can only glimpse the key to it if they can understand the true mystery within.
