Universal Mother left the Umbilical Cord of Golden Light: Mongolian Shamanism as Daoism

Minnesota-based Professor Jack Weatherford has a new book on Mongolian religion and Genghis Khan.

Genghis Khan and the Quest for God: How the World's Greatest Conqueror Gave Us Religious Freedom

check out page 28. It's the same as Daoism.
I posted this comment in an interview with Weatherford

I am from Minnesota - also - where Prof. Weatherford is, my dad was a Trustee at Weatherford's college where my dad and grandfather attended. This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rycqVPANBKQ view of Ilarion Merculieff - seems as Weatherford describes the Universal Mother

And so now we have connected - http://peterkingsley.com to Mongolia as the secret source of Pythagorean meditation and now Daoism - and even Native American shamanism - and this all goes back to Africa as well.

“By challenging some of our most fundamental perceptions of early European history, Peter Kingsley pushes out the horizon of the modern world and opens a new chapter in our appreciation of European-Asian relations. His innovative research into the spiritual and intellectual debt of ancient Greece to Inner Asia not only broadens our understanding of the past, but also helps us to understand better who we are today. ”

ﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠ Prof. Jack Weatherford

Dear Professor Weatherford: I have read your earlier books and just listened to your recent podcast interview on Mongolia. Thank you very much for your excellent research. My dad was a trustee at Macalester (William J. Hempel) and my grandfather was an alumni of Macalester. I finished my master's degree at University of Minnesota in 2000 doing intensive meditation with a Chinese qigong master who taught through the community college - http://springforestqigong.com I did it as "self-directed" research through the African Studies department (chaired by Professor Rose Brewer). The teacher, Chunyi Lin, has worked with the Mayo Clinic. He trained in a Tibetan style of meditation visualization that involved a 49 day fast in full lotus at Mt. Qingcheng. No sleep for 49 days. Then I discovered his teacher was Master Zhang, Hongbao who created the Golden Unicorn Society - it was (Zhong Gong) - possibly the biggest qigong society in China next to Falun Gong. So the "Golden Key" secret of Zhong Gong is "yin matter" that is superluminal. After my "enlightenment experience" in 2000 - I read one scholarly book a day while in full lotus - for 10 years. This was to convert my experiences back into Western science, as much as possible.

We have to study relativistic quantum physics and quantum biology and noncommutative geometry to get close to this "golden umbilical" secret of meditation. I had read Peter Kingsley while doing my graduate research in 2000 - and so I quote him in my master's thesis. But still I had not gone "deep enough" to "unlearn" Western logic based on symmetric math. My background was in music training and I studied with a former University of Minnesota music professor - doing private studies while in high school - in ear training, orchestration, and music theory and composition. But I took quantum physics my first year of college at Hampshire College with professor Herbert Bernstein (who is having his quantum teleportation technology tested by NASA). My blog is http://elixirfield.blogspot.com Have you seen this Aleut shaman video on Bioneers - it reminded me of the Mongolian view (which seems very much like Daoism also). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rycqVPANBKQ view of Ilarion Merculieff -  describes the Universal Mother.

So what is very fascinating to me is that every human culture uses the Octave, Perfect Fifth and Perfect Fourth music intervals. But starting with Plato, Archytas and Eudoxus - the noncommutative phase or complementary opposites math was suppressed. For example "throat singing" - Western science has assumed that subharmonics are not physically possible or rarely so. The research on throat singing says how through meditation it is the upper harmonic frequencies that create a subharmonic increase in amplitude, via the vagus nerve, thereby relaxing the throat. I know from experience, when I did lots of full lotus meditation, then I could do throat singing very well. In fact at our cabin at Franconia (Minnesota) during the bustling Xmas holiday, with all the nieces and nephews getting out of control - I used the A-frame wood house to resonate powerful throat singing subharmonics. This immediately calmed everyone down. haha.

So Western symmetric math is really due to the wrong music theory! I have corresponded with math professor Luigi Borzacchini who researched this suppression of music theory as the origin of Western math - for incommensurability and the geometric continuum, as symmetric math. Basically if the Harmonic series starts with "one" as geometry or C and the octave is 2 as C, then 3 is G as the overtone harmonic or 3/2 as the Perfect Fifth interval. But 2/3 is ALSO the Perfect Fifth as C to F, the subharmonic. This is noncommutative phase - meaning G=3=F at the same time. This simple yet radical truth was covered up by the West, creating a "pre-established deep disharmony" to quote math professor Luigi Borzacchini. So this truth is now being rediscovered - de Broglie called it the Law of Phase Harmony when he realized that relativity violates the Pythagorean principle of frequency as inverse to wavelength. de Broglie realized there has to be a 2nd time from the future that harmonizes with the time from the past and this is how the present exists. Fields Medal math professor Alain Connes has rediscovered this music secret as noncommutative phase math for relativistic quantum physics.

So anyway - the problem with Western symmetric math science (from logarithms on up to relativity) - is that it creates entropy while quantum nonlocal entanglement is the 5th dimension as "negentropy." Or as qigong master Yan Xin calls it - "the virtual information field" that does the healing. In the 1980s in China the scientists realized that qi energy requires a revolution beyond the separation of relativity and quantum physics. So this Golden Umbilical "metaphysics" is actually the "highest technology of all technologies" as qigong master Yan Xin calls it. It is too bad the Chinese government "repressed" the mass qigong movements but then the people using qi for mass movements has a long history in China.

But now we have the ecological and social justice crisis of the biosphere on Earth as the "cost" of the amazing power of Western science (with its lack of heart-mind spirit wisdom). So for example even the chinese qigong master, Chunyi Lin, likes to take the Tibetan monks on cruise ships (at least once a year) despite those ships being the most polluting vehicles on the planet. One trip is the same as driving a car for half your life. haha. But then Global Dimming Effect means that the Sulfates from coal pollution have blocked the sun, thereby cutting global warming in half. So even if we switch to renewables, the cleaning up of the air will still warm the planet further. And such is the quagmire of today's materialistic approach to reality. So Master Zhang Hongbao created the "Golden Unicorn" society and he supplemented Einstein's relativity with this superluminal "yin matter" that is golden (as alchemy). Master Chunyi Lin says he knows masters in the mountains of China working on their "yang shen" - golden immortal body. These abilities are possible but require a person to be more like a hermit, something quite difficult in today's times.

Nevertheless I do think this is the "metaphysics" of reality - and so as your book says - as the Mongolians taught - we all have this Golden Umbilical cord in our minds as our birth-rite.

Thanks,

The above IMMEDIATELY bounced back - PRofessor Weatherford MOVED to Mongolia! Wow.

Wow!

Very interesting!

Thanks for the info.

Plausibility isn’t Kingsley’s only problem. The book is seriously marred by his uncritical embrace of all things Mongolian. He does a real service in uncovering part of the dark story of Buddhist Tibet. As his sources bear out, Mongolian shamans and practitioners of Bon were persecuted and slaughtered for centuries by Buddhist monks practicing their own kind of shamanism. Anyone who has accepted the fairytale that often passes for Tibetan history will read this part of the book with a shock, but Kingsley’s account is all too credible.

When it comes to the Mongols, though, he treats genocide very differently. Relying often on Jack Weatherford’s much-criticized Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World, he offers nothing but extenuation. In his view the feared Mongol hordes were a cleansing wind, removing a corrupt world so that a better one might take its place.

I would see we need to "glean" an older tradition from our original human culture - based on music theory.  And then the New York times review:

Now, with “Genghis Khan and the Quest for God” he has taken his thesis still further, arguing with equal fervor and conviction that the Khan, though godless himself, favored total religious freedom for his subjugated millions. While his empire encompassed “Muslims, Buddhists, Taoists, Confucians, Zoroastrians, Manichaeans, Hindus, Jews, Christians and animists of different types” (Weatherford’s passions for lists can sometimes seem like stylistic overkill), he was eager that all should “live together in a cohesive society under one government.” No walls to be built, no immigration bans, no spiritual examinations.

To be reminded of such secular civility is one thing; but what is most remarkable about this fine and fascinating book is Weatherford’s central claim that the Great Khan’s ecumenism has as its legacy the very same rigid separation of church and state that underpins no less than the American idea itself. The United States Constitution’s First Amendment is, at its root, an originally Mongol notion.

 Many might think this eccentric in the extreme, until we learn that a runaway 18th-century best seller in the American colonies was in fact a history of “Genghizcan the Great,” by a Frenchman, Pétis de la Croix, and that it was a book devoured by both Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. Moreover, the quoted rubric of the Mongol and United States laws is uncannily similar: Among other passages, Mongol law forbids anyone to “disturb or molest any person on account of religion,” and Jefferson, after reading its strictures, went on to suggest in his Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, a precursor of the First Amendment, that “no man shall . . . suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief.”

Oh Simon Winchester wrote that review!
