VIGYAN BHAIRAV TANTRA MANTRA MEDITATION TECHNIQUE NO. 41

VIGYAN BHAIRAV TANTRA YANTRA MANTRA MEDITATION TECHNIQUE NO. 41 WHILE LISTENING TO TANTRIC MUSIC, HEAR THE COMPOSITE CENTRAL SOUND AND ATTAIN OMNIPRESENCE.

BE ALERT AND LISTEN TO THE CENTRAL CORE OF THE MUSIC THE BACKBONE OF IT AROUND WHICH ALL THE NOTES ARE FLOWING, THE DEEPEST CURRENT WHICH HOLDS ALL THE NOTES TOGETHER IS THE CENTRAL SOUND, LISTENING TO THE MUSIC, BE ALERT, PENETRATE THE MUSIC, AND FIND THE CENTRAL SOUND WHICH GOES ON FLOWING, HOLDING EVERYTHING TOGETHER. NOTES COME AND GO AND DISAPPEAR, BUT THE OMNIPRESENCE OF THE CENTRAL CORE REMAINS WHEN YOU BECOME AWARE OF IT !

COMMON ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS OF THE COSMOLOGICAL TAIJI ARE “GREAT GRAND SUPREME ULTIMATE RIDGEPOLE “GREAT ABSOLUTE”, OR “SUPREME ULTIMATE GREAT GRAND POLARITY”

THE TERM ‘SUPREME ULTIMATE’ PERFORMS THIS ROLE IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE BOOK OF CHANGES. A METAPHYSICAL TERM ON A PAR WITH THE WAY.

TAIJI 太極 “GREAT GRAND SUPREME ULTIMATE” “ZENITH”

THE WAY HAS ATTRIBUTES AND EVIDENCE, BUT IT HAS NO ACTION AND NO FORM. IT MAY BE TRANSMITTED BUT CANNOT BE RECEIVED. IT MAY BE APPREHENDED BUT CANNOT BE SEEN. FROM THE ROOT, FROM THE STOCK, BEFORE THERE WAS HEAVEN OR EARTH, FOR ALL ETERNITY TRULY HAS IT EXISTED. IT IN SPIRITS DEMONS AND GODS, GIVES BIRTH TO HEAVEN AND EARTH. IT LIES ABOVE THE ZENITH BUT IS NOT HIGH; IT LIES BENEATH THE NADIR BUT IS NOT DEEP. IT IS PRIOR TO HEAVEN AND EARTH, BUT IS NOT ANCIENT; IT IS SENIOR TO HIGH ANTIQUITY, BUT IT IS NOT OLD.

A ZHENREN “TRUE PERSON; PERFECTED PERSON” AND THE TAIJI “SUPREME ULTIMATE” THAT TRANSCENDS CATEGORIES LIKE YIN AND YANG, EXEMPLIFIED WITH THE YINYANG FUSUI AND FANGZHU MIRRORS.

THE FU-SUI 夫煫 BURNING MIRROR GATHERS FIRE ENERGY FROM THE SUN; THE FANG-CHU 方諸 MOON MIRROR GATHERS DEW FROM THE MOON. WHAT ARE CONTAINED BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH, EVEN AN EXPERT CALCULATOR CANNOT COMPUTE THEIR NUMBER. THUS, THOUGH THE HAND CAN HANDLE AND EXAMINE EXTREMELY SMALL THINGS, IT CANNOT LAY HOLD OF THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE SUN AND MOON. WERE IT WITHIN THE GRASP OF ONE’S HAND WITHIN ONE’S POWER TO GATHER[THINGS WITHIN ONE CATEGORY FROM THE SUPREME ULTIMATE (T’AI-CHI 太極) ABOVE, ONE COULD IMMEDIATELY PRODUCE BOTH FIRE AND WATER. THIS IS BECAUSE YIN AND YANG SHARE A COMMON CH’I AND MOVE EACH OTHER.

TAIJI ALSO APPEARS IN THE COMMENTARY TO THE I CHING, THEREFORE THERE IS IN THE CHANGES THE GREAT PRIMAL BEGINNING. THIS GENERATES THE TWO PRIMARY FORCES. THE TWO PRIMARY FORCES GENERATE THE FOUR IMAGES. THE FOUR IMAGES GENERATE THE EIGHT TRIGRAMS. THE EIGHT TRIGRAMS DETERMINE GOOD FORTUNE AND MISFORTUNE. GOOD FORTUNE AND MISFORTUNE CREATE THE GREAT FIELD OF ACTION.

THIS SEQUENCE OF POWERS OF TWO INCLUDES TAIJI → YIN-YANG TWO POLARITIES TAIJI THE RIDGEPOLE SIXIANG FOUR SYMBOLS → BAGUA EIGHT TRIGRAMS.

THE “GREAT PRIMAL BEGINNING” OF ALL THAT EXISTS, T’AI CHI – IN ITS ORIGINAL MEANING, THE “RIDGEPOLE”. “THE SUPREME POLARITY THAT IS NON-POLAR!”.

NON-POLAR WUJI AND YET SUPREME POLARITY TAIJI THE SUPREME POLARITY IN ACTIVITY GENERATES YANG; YET AT THE LIMIT OF ACTIVITY IT IS STILL. IN STILLNESS IT GENERATES YIN; YET AT THE LIMIT OF STILLNESS IT IS ALSO ACTIVE. ACTIVITY AND STILLNESS ALTERNATE; EACH IS THE BASIS OF THE OTHER. IN DISTINGUISHING YIN AND YANG, THE TWO MODES ARE THEREBY ESTABLISHED. THE ALTERNATION AND COMBINATION OF YANG AND YIN GENERATE WATER, FIRE, WOOD, METAL, AND EARTH. WITH THESE FIVE [PHASES OF] QI HARMONIOUSLY ARRANGED, THE FOUR SEASONS PROCEED THROUGH THEM. THE FIVE PHASES ARE SIMPLY YIN AND YANG; YIN AND YANG ARE SIMPLY THE SUPREME POLARITY; THE SUPREME POLARITY IS FUNDAMENTALLY NON-POLAR. YET IN THE GENERATION OF THE FIVE PHASES, EACH ONE HAS ITS NATURE.

WHEN ITS ACTIVITY REACHES ITS LIMIT, IT BECOMES TRANQUIL. THROUGH TRANQUILITY THE SUPREME ULTIMATE GENERATES YIN. WHEN TRANQUILITY HAS REACHED ITS LIMIT, THERE IS A RETURN TO MOVEMENT. MOVEMENT AND TRANQUILITY, IN ALTERNATION, BECOME EACH THE SOURCE OF THE OTHER. YIN AND YANG STAND REVEALED. BY THE TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE YANG AND THE UNION OF THE YIN, THE 5 ELEMENTS OF WATER, FIRE, WOOD, METAL AND EARTH ARE PRODUCED. THESE 5 QI BECOME DIFFUSED, WHICH CREATES HARMONY.

TAIJI UNDERLIES THE CHINESE INTERNAL MARTIAL ART BASED ON THE PRINCIPLES OF YIN AND YANG AND TAOIST PHILOSOPHY, AND DEVOTED TO INTERNAL ENERGETIC AND PHYSICAL TRAINING.
