The Supreme Polarity of Time: How the Xingming Gui Zhi influenced Zhao Bichen’s Manual

Extreme movement results in stillness. This meaning belongs to yin. It is ji-earth. Extreme stillness results in movement. This meaning belongs to yang. It is wu-earth. Refine the ji-earth and achieve the mercury of Li [fire] and the sun. Refine the wu-earth and achieve the lead of Kan [water] and the moon. With lead and mercury returned the Golden Elixir comes together of its own accord. Wu and ji are an image of “earth” doubled.252

  link between the Ming Dynasty text entitled ‘Xingming Gui Zhi’ (性命圭旨) – or the ‘Principles of Inner Essence and Longevity’ – By Yin Zhen Ren (尹真人) and Zhao Bichen’s (赵避尘) famous manual entitled ‘Xingming Fa Jue Ming Zhi’ (性命法诀明指) – or ‘The Secret Cultivation of Essential Nature and Eternal Life’.

  However, a close and careful reading of both manuals suggests that the latter was influenced by the former.  Zhao Bichen’s manual has become a highly influential text in its own right, but it shares many common features with the Xingming Gui Zhi.
So one was written in 1933, aka Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality and the other was written in  Yin Zhenren #|H)\. 1615. Xingming gui zhi sã fisłH (Leading to the Core of Life).

300 years before.

 Wow - so a new website for me! This is the English-language transmission of the Zhao Bichen teaching. Amazing. Back to the 1615 text:
Arriving at the Han, the Perfected Wei Boyang fathered the Scripture of the Golden Cliff and authored the Concordance of the Three, starting to employ the names “dragon and tiger,” “lead and mercury.”
 ............

 Hibernating and returning to the root and leisurely breathing in profound obscurity are the Supreme Polarity of Time. Bearing fruit during pregnancy and conceiving the embryo during copulation are the Supreme Polarity of the True Seed. If a person can protect and maintain the integrity of the two poles without loss, then he can extend life and not transform.344 Why just stop with fulfilling the years and dictating the end345 and that’s it!
 People all know that the Supreme Polarity proceeded Heaven and Earth and the Myriad Things, but don’t know that as soon as there are Heaven and Earth and the Myriad Things each possesses the Supreme Polarity. The Supreme Polarity has Time, has the True Seed. The Supreme Polarity of Heaven and Earth and the Myriad Things is in the xu and hai 346 conjunctions.347 In these two conjunctions the Supreme Polarity has one epoch of Creation-and-Transformation.
 .................

 Black Lead—the Water Tiger—is the root of the emission and development of Heaven and Earth.
Only then is there substance (zhi ) and qi.

Red Lead—the Fire Dragon—is the foundation of the emission and development of Heaven and Earth.
Only then is there qi and no substance.
 ..............................................

 The whitesoul [hun] is produced in the Wood [i.e., the liver]; the cloudsoul [po] is born in Metal [i.e., the lungs].
 One qi initially differentiates then is ordered as the Two Polarities.
 ...........

 Cantong qi says: “Li-ji [central yang] daylight. Kan-wu [central yin] moon essence.” Therefore Li’s ji is like the dragon’s new moon qi, while Kan’s wu is like the tiger’s new moon qi. For wu and ji are the substance of the Yellow Court-True Earth. Because the Supreme Polarity divided they separately occupy the two substances of the dragon and the tiger.

So it is a free pdf online - it was a M.A. thesis translation into English with commentary in 2009.

Lots of info!

  This is a special function of the eyes, that is directly linked to the ‘ancestral cavity’ (祖窍 – Zu Qiao), that absorbs the energy of sunlight from outside the human-body – to inside the human-body, which is then dropped into the lower energy self-cultivation centre (丹田 – Dan Tian) area for further refinement.

Exactly - I have done this for sure - where the sunlight activates the third eye and amazing colors are seen - and this energy recharges the jing. When I have fasted - I discovered I could recharge energy from taking in sunlight.

It can be said that the ancestral cavity is the mysterious entrance that humanity must pass through during self-cultivation, but the mysterious entrance is not inside the body, and the ancestral cavity is not outside the body.
