Male Sex Energy Is Stored In Its Seed 7
many other fields that would not be discovered by western scientists
until 2000 years later. Nor did they crave exclusive possession
of their potent knowledge. They had their reasons for secrecy, and
their reasons were well-founded at the time. They were custodians
of the doctrine taught to them by their masters, and feared the
misuse of the great force unlocked by the secret principles. Perhaps,
they felt an obligation to protect the public from its tendency
to distort the purest teaching to suit its own base instincts. In rural
China, which was much less populous then, someone with such
esoteric knowledge could easily become a chieftain or a king. A
warrior could use his power to defeat his opponents.
The Taoist Masters thus thought it dangerous to spread their
teachings too widely, and passed them on to only a few chosen
disciples before departing their earthly life. To guarantee that the
formulae not be used for selfish purposes, these Masters often
transmitted to each disciple only a part of the doctrine. Thus, only
if the disciples banded together and shared their learning could the
supreme potencies be unleashed. If anyone selfishly withheld his
learning, they would never receive the whole doctrine. In the
course of many generations, fragments of the innermost secrets
came to be regarded as the whole. My attempt is to reunite many
disparate parts into an organic whole which I believe similar to the
most ancient and complete teachings.
WHY REVEAL THE SECRET NOW?
Why violate the traditional Chinese teaching method and expose to
the general public these powerful principles? The simple reason is
that the historic moment is already late. The human condition is
too desperate to deprive our species of a potentially great infusion
of vital energy. If the human race is not quickly infused with a new
life energy to render it more harmonious than it has been for most
of the last 2,000 years, we are all, earthly Masters and mortals,
threatened with an untenably harsh existence, if not extinction.
There are so many wizards of the computer, stock market,
test tube, and spectator sport, but so few of the art of life. Our race
spends its brief span fiddling with statistics, black boxes, noxious
chemicals, and above all, with meaningless words. A majority of
Americans daily pass more than six hours in a mesmerized trance
induced by a colored shadow dancing in a box of glass. These
