Musing on a line in Chapter 4 of the Laozi Along with a Comparative Study to the Chaldean Oracles.

"Gentle and Overflowing, it always seems to be there” — William Scott Wilson.

"Tranquil! As though having a life of its own." — Dan G. Reid.

Commentary by Heshang Gong: 湛兮似若存。言當湛然安靜，故能長存不亡。

"This is to say that you should find tranquility and stillness at the depths of your nature. Then you will be able to endure and not die."

This whole chapter teaches on the humility of remaining ~empty.~ We make use of the Way by pouring out: emptying ourselves. The Dao is an Empty vessel, never making itself known or displaying it’s merits for creating and accomplishing all things. By doing so, the Dao is never is overfilled, and by remaining empty it creates and is responsible for everything. I think this teaching may be reflected in Xiu Dao practices, where a person statically removes themselves from all worldly concerns and attachments, to cultivate 道. From the videos and things I’ve read about Xiu Dao (Daoist Meditation), it is a process of emptying oneself. Being and remaining empty, keeps us unlimited in our capacities. But first one must asses, and abide in ones own nature 人性 —Zhuangzi 8.3.1, before such emptying can occur — or so I think.

On the topic of “empty.” We see this same sentiment reflected in the Chaldean Oracles fragment 1. Here it is as translated by Ruth Majercik:

"You must not perceive it intently, but keeping the pure eye of your soul turned away, you should extend an empty mind toward the Intelligible in order to comprehend it, since it exists outside of your mind."

(I’m drawing on commonalities, never universalities, which should be the standard for comparative religious studies.)

Here in Chaldean Oracles, we see we must too become an empty vessel and empty our mind for us to elevate our soul to the abodes of the gods — this is theurgy. The elevation of our soul to the gods, to Nous, and ultimately back to The One. It seems to preach a reversion of our mind in order for it to ascend to the Intelligible. A pretty neat commonality in the practice of Theurgy and cultivation techniques found in Daoism! Yet these two practices/spiritual techniques have different goals in mind. One does not “ascend” to the Dao, as one “ascends” to the gods, to Nous and finally The One, as we do in theurgical rituals. In Daoism, we have to embody the Dao and make ourselves receptacles by extreme emptying techniques to be able to receive the Dao’s incomprehensible nature. Emptying is not a big theme in Hermeticism and I can’t find anything related to “emptying” oneself to reach The Good that is The One (God). Only reference I find is in the Chaldean Oracles fragment I have quoted above, which is only kind of Hermetic, as it draws influences from many Mediterranean based mysticisms. Where it is similar is that it follows a platonic notion of “like becoming like.” But how we become like the Dao is different from how we become like the gods and The One. None the less, I find this commonality beautiful and I celebrate and participate in its differences.

You can also read about another commonality I make between Daoism’s “abiding and trusting one’s own nature 人性” and how the god Hebo was able to do such a thing. Hermeticism’s CH I: Poimandres dialogue on paragraph 19 we see how one who recognizes himself, attains the chosen Good, which is God (The One). Here it is. I analyze chapter 17 of the Zhuangzi in this link, and very briefly touch on how this is similar to the concept of “know thyself” in Hermeticism, but give no textual references to such claims in the Hermetica. Those textual references can be found all up and down the Corpus Hermeticum but a good place to start is the Poimandres Dialogue (CH I).

I must remind you all that I have no teacher for these kinds of things. Also, in no way am I claiming that Daoism and Hermeticism/Neoplatonism are universal in their goals or approaches and practices. So any insights and corrections are very welcome here🙏

Each morning I get up and I do a qi gong practice called Gods Playing in the Clouds. I use this practice to wake up my body on all levels of my being:

On the physical level I stretch my body through the movements

On the somatic experiential level I invite the senses to engage the world within and around me

On the emotional level I release the tensions and stuckness I feel so I can enliven myself with the now

On the mental level I quiet the mind and prepare it to receive the experiences of the day

On the spiritual level I acknowledge the presence of all around me and collaborate through my practice. On the energetic level, I enliven my being and presence.

In Advanced energy alchemy we'll be exploring how you can develop an energy work practice that works in the same way and sets you up to manifest your desired outcomes because of how you align yourself to the world around you.

If you've felt blocked in your life, felt tired and fatigued, or given all your energy away, or simply want to level up your spiritual practice, this class is for you.

You will learn a unique system of energy work that I've developed which fuses principles of energy work with somatic experiencing to create an embodied practice of magic that transforms your health, while improving your results and manifestation. You will learn:

How to fuse your internal Qi with the external elemental energies

How to apply somatic experiencing to energy work to raise and focus your energetic practices.

How to achieve consistent results for manifestation by learning how to release internal resistance and turn it into energetic momentum

How to draw upon the environment around you and create energetic systems of support to improve your health.

In this never before taught 4 week class, I'll be pulling back the curtains behind my own energy practices and sharing with you the unique system I've developed, which is a synthesis of my own energetic practices as well as Qi Gong, Dzogchen and Western energy systems.

The class starts on August 10th and runs through August 30th. Comment energy and I'll send you the link
