<strong>Chia</strong> sees his role as simply that <strong>of</strong> a teacher who helps his<br />

students empower themselves through cultivation <strong>of</strong> their chi energy.<br />

He passes chi (or "shakti") to his students only so they will<br />

have a better sense <strong>of</strong> what to cultivate and refuses any dependent<br />

emotional relationships. He describes himself as the lead driver in<br />

a caravan <strong>of</strong> cars. "I can give each student a road map, a set <strong>of</strong><br />

tools and instructions on how to fix his car. We start out together,<br />

and help and love each other as much as possible along the way.<br />

But ultimately everyone has to make it on his own. Some will break<br />

down, get lost, or choose a different route. Some may find a better<br />

road than the one I plotted. As a teacher, there's no kindness I can<br />

<strong>of</strong>fer beyond the map and tools and precise instructions for driving<br />

safely."<br />

The <strong>Taoist</strong> premise is that few men ever penetrate the secret<br />

<strong>of</strong> fully tapping the sexual power that is sleeping deep within their<br />

own body. It is revolutionary for the average man to think he can<br />

enjoy a deep and radiant pleasure in sex that penetrates permanently<br />

to the core <strong>of</strong> his being, an experience far superior to ordinary<br />

genital <strong>org</strong>asm. The kind <strong>of</strong> prolonged "total body and soul<br />

<strong>org</strong>asm" cultivated by <strong>Taoist</strong>s is normally thought to be the exceptional<br />

gift <strong>of</strong> passionate and sensitive women. It has even become<br />

the greatest myth <strong>of</strong> western culture—the woman as passionate<br />

object <strong>of</strong> romantic love, the one who brings love to its real tenderness.<br />

The <strong>Taoist</strong>s taught that men can participate equally in love<br />

through a truly exquisite balancing <strong>of</strong> sexual energies that is as<br />

tangible as any physical sensation <strong>of</strong> genital <strong>org</strong>asms.<br />

How is it possible for a man to so radically transform his<br />

sexual experience and through it his whole experience <strong>of</strong> life? Paradoxically,<br />

this "higher <strong>org</strong>asm" can be discovered only when the<br />

"normal" or genital <strong>org</strong>asm which so preoccupies America's sexologists<br />

is de-emphasized. The beginning three basic stages <strong>of</strong> <strong>Taoist</strong><br />

"dual cultivation" <strong>of</strong> sexual energy for couples are:<br />

1) The male learns to hold the penis erect for as long as desired<br />

and does not ejaculate any sperm.<br />

2) Man and woman re-direct sexual energy through specific<br />

bodily channels into higher regions <strong>of</strong> the heart, brain and glands.<br />

3) Man exchanges his super charged energy with the complementary<br />

energy <strong>of</strong> woman.<br />

For the man, it is opening his feelings and subtle energy channels<br />

to the woman's essence and absorbing it during sex that is the<br />

key.
