What role does Faith play in alchemical meditation?

Faith actually is from Fey - etymologically - it means "light" - so in Daoism that is shen also called fire in Daoist alchemy.
So meditation turns the light that goes out of our eyes - and visualizes it at the base of the spine - this is the Daoist process.
Then as you go deeper into meditation then so called "exceptional human functions" develop.
So evil is based on the light being low frequency - in the body - as the intention of the spirit.
So this is why the chakras are based on the color of light as frequency - so then as the light opens up the third eye then you see yellow light externally. This is called the Earth spirit light - you start to see yellow auras around people or trees, etc.
As you open the third eye more then you see more lights externally - more colors.
As you focus the light in the body more then then color turns more gold - this is light from the future - superluminal virtual light called the "golden key." So the Daoist hermits develop the golden light - called the Yang Shen.
For those of deep faith - they do a 49 day cave meditation - no sleep - just full lotus yoga meditation the whole time.
Then Lao Tzu can appear to them as a Yang Shen - a golden immortal body - and touch them.
And such immortal ancestors can then help a person do healing - so you can call on the master's energy to join your own energy.
You can read the book Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality for details - just search it online. It take a while to understand the book. haha. But that gives the instructions for the meditation practice.


The Yi or intention is from the heart as spirit or shen based on frequency. Since light has no rest mass it does have "relativistic mass" which means that the medium that light travels in is the Emptiness itself that creates the charge as Qi energy - this is called virtual photons or virtual information field.
 
So our intention or Yi is subconscious with our eyes open - it is controlled - the light goes directly to the emotional heart instead of the source of the light from the Emptiness. When we close our eyes and listen - we can listen to the source of the light, faster than we can see the light.
 
So this means that our thinking mind can not be trusted with the eyes open - so that we need to harmonize the body with the mind - to open up the energy channels. So this is why sitting in full lotus meditation is a good foundation to the training because if you can't do it then that means your body channels are not open.
 
So the Yi or intention has to be turned around to no left brain thoughts and then visualize internally to turn your Jing from the Shen under the Jing into qi.
 
So the "faith" is actually a science of complementary opposites of the energy channels of the body and mind.
 
This all starts with the eyes because ONLY the eyes in the body are yang - which means your Yuan Qi from the heart and your Yuan Shen from the heart - your spirit-qi - goes out of your eyes when they are open. For example Poonjaji - if you read his biography "NOthing Ever Happens" - he describes how by looking into people's eyes he then can see their past lives. Chunyi Lin has also mentioned seeing people's past lives but he rarely tells them unless it will help in their healing.
 
So this is why celibacy is necessary since - the energy is lost out of the eyes and also your spirit interacts with visual images - 2 dimensionally. The light as Faith does not experience space nor time on its own but it has to be powered by the Qi as the Mother of the Spirit.
 
So Qi is the Mother of Faith - because faith is from Light. This is called Con-Fidence or With-Faith. Because as you build up the qi energy then the light or shen increases.
 
So at first people see light internally - but this is called the  Relative Void - since it is just your Yang Qi from celibacy increasing the light released from your cells. Science calls this biophotons.
 
But with the eyes closed - if you visualize light then science has proven this increases the amount of light emitted internally. So this light originates from the Emptiness - from the virtual photons as relativistic mass - the light turned back around internally is bending spacetime as the Emptiness.
 
So this captures the faster than light or superluminal momentum or energy based on frequency - it is energy from the future.
 
So the Faith is then called - by existentialist Christians - a "Leap of Faith" - as Kierkegaard called it. This means that you can only logically infer the source of the light by listening to it.
 
You can not see the source of the Light - but your conceptual mind as the Yi Intention can go back to the source of the light but turning the light around and as the Qi energy builds up then the light increases. Eventually the light is so bright that you have no sense of self as ego anymore.
 
So the Jing is like the Wax that powers the light - it takes a lot of wax to make the light brighter and stronger. But the "space" between the wick and the flame of the light is considered to be the Ether - this is the "flicker" of the light that has to be maintained as a harmonized energy - this is the Qi that creates both the Jing and the Shen.
 
So then a qigong master can embody the Qi and then create "original spirits" or "yuan Shen" from the Emptiness that is impersonal - and these spirits are individualized for each person being healed. And so if the person's intention is purified to be healed with their Yi turned back to the source of the light - then they can receive this Yuan Shen and so be completely healed back to their original spirit state.
 
This is when the Jing is at its fullest - like a 16 year old - and so the qi can be accessed through the Yuan Shen - this is called the Yuan Qi that only happens once the body energy channels are open and filled up with the jing - from the alchemical process of putting the Light or Faith - or spiritual Fire into the Earth as the bones of the body - to turn the Water or jing into Air as Qi.
 
So this ancient Bronze age alchemy is from all over Asia and goes back to Africa - the original human culture - the San Bushmen.
 
To have Faith means to build up your Con-Fid-ence - since Fid is from Fidelity which is another word for Faith as Light.
 
So for example if I meditate in full lotus 8 hours a day - which I did from people paying me $20 donations. So someone would pay me $20 through paypal and so I promised to meditate 8 hours in full lotus with my eyes closed. So as I did that then my qi increased and so I saw more light or Shen - and so I built up my Con-Fid-ence - since I know that meditation can restore the light.
 
But most people lack faith and so think that if you sit in your room alone for 8 hours a day then something must be desperately wrong. haha. So in our modern world - we lack true Yi or proper intention - which is really to take the "Leap of Faith" - to listen to the source of the light.

A leap of faith according to Kierkegaard involves circularity insofar as the leap is made by faith. In his book Concluding Unscientific Postscript, he describes the core part of the leap of faith: the leap

 
So this is also a type of love - because the heart has to open up - and this is the source of the light. It is the "Cauldron" that the fire of Faith - the spirit goes under - into the Sacrum and so the cauldron of the heart opens up - and this creates the "steam" as the Qi energy.
 
So a person could be in love - which is a type of faith - and if the male is pure and celibate then this love will open up the heart and as the heart gets very hot - this will then open up the third eye for visions of light - and you can see your whole life in review based on all the karma of life. In other words - time is not linear - so our future is connected to our past. What we see externally with the eyes open is already there in our soul from the Yuan Qi - the Yuan Qi is the 5th dimension like a black hole.

I feel that the past, and the present and the future is all in one state. They’re operating at different frequency levels. It isn’t the past here, the present here and the future here. We are all at one state. The past, present and future are all here. That’s why some people have deja vu….

– Qigong Grandmaster Effie P. Chow
 
So you can have visions of the future that are MORE REAL than being awake with the eyes open. And so with the eyes open we are actually experiencing the past - because our brain processes the light subconsciously and then filters it and creates an illusion of the present that is really from the past. So with meditation we turn the past into the future - by having the eyes closed we stop the subconscious from creating energy blockages. And then we can heal our future - before it happens - because we access the soul as the Yuan Qi that contains the light of the future and the light in the past.
 
So he no longer tells people what they were experiencing just before the blockage occurred - because that would freak out the person being healed. It is the Emptiness that does the healing and so when the light is very bright - the healing happens on its own.
 
This is like a strobe light that focuses the mind as a laser energy that is harmonized - and so you maintain the focus in the vision and the Emptiness as the Yuan Qi does the healing. This is the Faith - you have Con-Fid-ence that the Qi is the Mother of the spirit.  The spirit is the male but the Mother is the Emptiness that can not be seen or never "unveiled."

The key is being open to listening, that's the hardest thing. If you get five seconds of focus you're doing something. You slow yourself down, to maintain your focus, breathing is an important part, if you can pull the visualization without losing the connection, then it's much easier to shift the energy. If I inhale and exhale and be more objective, not so subjectively pulled into the experience, it would be like taking a snap-shot, looking at the snap-shot, keeping it steady while I was breathing. I could then keep my focus on something for an extended period of time. All I had to do was wait and the energy would shift on its own.
