Maximum Longevity
3Modern Scientific Theories of Aging
4- Free radicals and oxidative damage - longevity is
inversely proportional to oxidative damage and
directly proportional to antioxidant defense
activity by-products of metabolism are highly
reactive molecules that damage cells (poor diet,
lifestyle, drugs, smoking, toxins, etc. also
increase free radical damage whereas taking
antioxidants and a better diet counters free
radicals and aging) - Waste accumulation (Membrane theory) - metabolism
waste products accumulate inside cells, producing
toxic conditions, because membranes become less
permeable over time (ex. skin lipofuscin age
spots are the ashes of metabolic fires) so
detoxify the body cells and organs and provide
fresh essential oils to keep membranes permeable - Neuroendocrine theories - failure of hormone
regulatory mechanisms (especially hypothalamus
which controls various hormone chain reactions)
causes homeostatic imbalance (temperature, blood
sugar, internal environment) and death cortisol
(the stress hormone) is a main culprit so take
up meditation to counter stress ... Hormone
replacement therapy
5- Immunological theories - your lifespan is related
to presence of particular immune-system
substances (also affecting the neuroendocrine
system, thymus) that decline over time so boost
your immune system - DNA damage and repair - DNA repair efficiency is
correlated with life span, and repair mechanisms
decline over time (ex. Eat RNA rich foods such as
green powders since it improved cellular repair
processes) - Altered proteins - as aging occurs, proteins hook
together and change shape so they cant do their
jobs properly cumulative errors over time cause
an organism to vary so much from its original
design that it falls apart (Glycosylation cross
linking of glucose with proteins increases as
immune system fails, such as in cataract
formation and diabetes. Membranes become less
pliable and tissue lose their function.
Glycosylation can be seen when apples cut in half
turn yellow, brown and become tough. So cut down
on sugar consumption and exercise.) - Selective Death - Apotosis - programmed suicide
of cells caused by extracellular signals
Phagocytosis - cells have membrane proteins that
mark them for destruction by other cells
(macrophages)
6- Gene theories - changes in gene expression
mechanisms, such as the order of expression,
cause aging and death (ex. Telomerases shorten as
cells divide so over time cells cannot duplicate
themselves correctly, Hayflick limit suggests
cells planned obsolescence in that cells can only
divide around 50 times but calorie restriction
increases lifespan while overfed cells divide
faster - so dont overeat and avoid overweight.) - Mutation Accumulation - over time mutations alter
genetic information so cell doesnt operate
properly (error catastrophes increase faulty
transcription, faulty gene activation repression
mechanisms result in unnecessary proteins, DNA
repairs not perfect and flawed molecules
accumulate over time) - Wear and Tear (Cellular abuse) - ordinary daily
insults/injuries and toxins in diet and
environment wear down cells and organs so improve
nutrition (nutrient bath), assimilation,
circulation and excretion to help improve the
repair process - Metabolic theories - longevity is inversely
proportional to metabolic rate we are born with
a limited amount of energy so dont hasten energy
consumption but calm your breathing (ex.
hummingbird)
7Shakyamuni Buddhas Ten Methods of Super Longevity
8The Surangama Sutra
- Buddhas Surangama Sutra lecture on longevity
- You can cultivate longevity, but its always
involved with spiritual cultivation, i.e. its a
product of meditation! - Examples Methuselah (Bible), Peng Tsu (China),
Sri Sureswaracharya (India), Nagarjuna to
Nagabodhi to Vajrabodhi (Esoteric Buddhism) ... - Today scientists are pursuing a chemical and
genetic means to extend life. They overlook the
fact that all these people were strongly
connected to a tradition of spiritual practice
(meditation, cultivation), and it is this
spiritual practice that played the major role in
their longevity. If you neglect this aspect of
cultivating the spirit, any attempts at life
extension are sure to be failures. - Whats the use of immortality? Shakyamuni said
its not the right way. These guys leave the
world, so theyre not practicing to enjoy the
world more. Theyre actually just afraid of death
(Zen goes beyond birth and death). On the other
hand, he did order 4 students to physically stay
in the world without dying.
9In the Surangama Sutra, Shakyamuni Buddha
Instructed Ananda as follows
- There are people who do not cultivate samadhi a
meditative state of concentration or empty
mind correctly, but cultivate in some special
way that is based on strongly holding onto false
thoughts. As a result, they can perpetuate their
physical bodies and roam in the mountains,
forests and in other places where people do not
go. There are ten kinds of such immortals.
101. Some of these practitioners with unflagging
resolution cultivate through eating special foods
and perfecting the diet of what they eat. When
they have perfected this method of cultivation,
they are known as earth-bound immortals.
- Eat in such a way as to attain and maintain
health. This is encapsulated in the Chinese
practice of eating particular foods for curative
effects. For example, there is the custom of
eating special foods in the winter months to
nourish the body. All of these customs originated
from the Taoist idea of earth primal drugs.
Chinese medicine has all sorts of such foods. - For longevity, a few simple diet rules
- Few grains, little sugar, dont eat to fullness,
eat different colored foods and foods in season,
organic, avoid extremes, ... - Metabolic Typing diet to determine diet makeup
(carbs, protein, fats) - Avoid food allergies and sensitivities (repair
intestine and HCL digestive enzyme) - Cultivating the Earth (and Wood) elements
11The 5 Elements
FIRE Kundalini (bodily warmth)
EARTH Bones, teeth, nails, sinews, muscles
WIND Breath, chi (prana, life energy)
WATER Blood, water, hormones, jing, lymph, ...
SPACE Interstitial spaces, joint gaps, hollow
spaces

172. Some of these practitioners with unflagging
resolution ingest special grasses and medicinal
herbs to preserve their bodies and live a long
life. When they have perfected this method of
cultivation, they are known as flying immortals.
- Supplementing with the Wood element
- Ayurveda - the science of longevity (not just
lifespan but quality of life) says mind and body
must be in harmony the individual cosmos must be
in harmony with the external universe. Indian
Rasayana (the path of juice) focuses on
rejuvenation therapies to replenish bodily
fluids, in particular ojas or hormonal essences
lost with aging. Kaya-kalpa (bodily
transformation) is rejuvenation therapy. - TCM - Traditional Chinese Medicine has scores of
plants and herbs to aid with longevity, some of
which target the organs, hormones, chi or chi mai
(acupuncture meridians) - mulberry - Green powders (ProGreens, Greens,)
Etc.
18Soma - The Immortality Herb
- Their host left and returned in a moment with
herbs and creepers, which they examined
carefully. The leaves on the creepers had red
spots on them. Dvivedi began to explain. These
creepers grow abundantly in this locality. They
are called soma-lata (soma creepers), and there
are fifteen varieties. On the day of the new moon
there are no leaves on the vines, but the next
day, one leaf will appear, increasing daily until
on the full moon there are fifteen leaves, each
marked with one or more red spots. I collect
these leaves and crush them. They yield a kind of
milk which I drink along with cows milk. The
juice of soma-lata will enable anyone to live for
thousands of years. If I select the round-shaped
leaves, I can live for ten-thousand years. This
is the secret of my longevity. I spend most of my
time performing tapas, and I enjoy solitude, so I
have selected this remote cave in which to live.
That is all of my story. -- Maharaj, p. 51

significantly protects chromosomes from oxidative
damage), binds heavy metals, neurotransmitter,
speeds wound healing, helps muscle fatigue,
improves appearance, anti-glycosylation agent
(protects against cross-linking of proteins),
protects neural tissue against dementia (inhibits
amyloid plaque characteristic of Alzheimers
disease and neutralizes particular brain free
radicals), radioprotective, delays cellular
aging, provokes regeneration
213. Some of these practitioners with unflagging
resolution ingest special minerals and stones to
preserve their bodies and live long lives. When
they have perfected this method of alchemy, they
are known as roaming immortals.
- Cultivating the Metal (and Earth) elements
- Most mineral substances are irritating in
nature and act like vitamins they promote a
tonifying yang reaction that promotes sexual
desires (you must cut down on meat and sexual
desire (food and sex) before being able to use
them for transformation). The Taoists who
subscribed to these views therefore refined
mineral drugs such as mercury (cinnabar),
arsenic, sulfur, and other toxic metals and
congealed them into alchemical pills through
chemical processes, and ingested them in the hope
of becoming immortals. This also served to kill
bacteria so as to exterminate the Three Peng.
This medical theory did appear more than two
thousand years ago in an age without the
slightest influence of modern science. -- The
Story of Chinese Taoism, www.meditationexpert.com
22WHY? ...
- If all of the physiological functions of the
human body could be transformed into the nature
of gold and silver, naturally one could then live
a long time. Consequently, Taoists researched the
chemical properties of mineral drugs, and made
copper and iron into gold (most of the so-called
gold of the Chin and Han dynasties was copper
ore and there was actually very little real gold.
It was thus necessary to manufacture these
materials chemically and as a result Chinas
alchemy witnessed the earliest inventions of
smelting technology in the history of world
science. Later this technology was transmitted to
Europe by Arabs). They also utilized the
components of certain natural plants to transform
pure gold into liquid form, and then to gradually
ingest it so that it could be slowly absorbed
into the body. After a long period of time, this
would change all of the physiological functions
into the nature of gold, and then one could
naturally become immortal.
23Siddha Medicine for Immortality
- Kaya-karpam is a drug in Siddha medicine that has
the power of rejuvenating the body and prolonging
life. The kaya-karpam treatment consists in the
following steps - 1. Preservation of vital energy by influencing
internal secretions and blood circulation through
controlled breathing and Yoga practice
pranayama - 2. Conservation of male semen and female
secretion, to use it in regenerating processes
discipline of not losing your jing - 3. Use of a universal salt known as muppu,
prepared by special processes to induce
rejuvenation - 4. Use of (calcinated) powders prepared from
metals and minerals such as mercury, sulphur,
gold, mica, copper, iron, etc. considered
risky - 5. Use of drugs prepared by herbs safest method
- -- The Siddha Quest for Immortality, p. 81
24Mercury and Gold Preparations
Tibetan doctor Khenpo Troru Tsenam at the Lhasa
Astro-Medical Institute (Mentsikhang) This
method of detoxifying mercury is different from
the method of Indian ayurveda. The method is from
the revelation of Urgyenpa, the great siddhi and
Kagyu master. You need mercury, gold, silver,
copper and iron to make. It takes one hundred
people working constantly for one month to make
it. At the start of the process, the mercury is
at first poisonous, shiny, mobile, liquidy. By
the end of the process it has been transformed
and is medicinal, matt black immobile and solid.
Real Taoism As to the five special
minerals and eight precious stones, yes theyre
good but I know that the dharma is emptiness. If
I want to become an immortal, why should I use
external herbs? Theres much better ways. I can
actually produce this wonderful medicine
(ambrosia) life essence in my own body.

264. Some of these practitioners with unflagging
resolution cultivate themselves by mastering
their breath they master certain pranayama
techniques. When they have perfected their chi
and jing, they are known as immaterial space
immortals.
- Cultivating the Wind element (ones prana, chi
or life force) - Hatha Yoga Pradipika has many pranayama
techniques (anapana, qi-gong) - See the 9-bottled wind practice in Twenty-Five
Doors to Meditation A Handbook for Entering
Samadhi - The breathing methods of the Tao school which
spit out the old to bring in the new are like
using a match to ignite the potential energy in
ones body (kundalini) - After you open up the chi mai you can fast by
eating air
27Pranayama Methods
Anapana, qi-gong, kumbhaka, ...
- Alternating between both nostrils,
- Draw in as much air as possible,
- as slowly as possible,
- into your lungs as deeply as possible,
- and hold it inside for as long as possible,
- using as little force as possible,
- and then exhale as quickly as possible.
Patanjali - pranayama is the gap between your
in-breath and out-breath
28Hatha Yoga Pradipika
Therefore pranayama should be done daily with a
sattvic state of mind so that the impurities are
driven out of sushumna nadi the central chi
channel and purification occurs. ... By proper
practice of pranayama, all diseases are
eradicated. Through improper practice all disease
can arise ... According to some teachers,
pranayama alone removes impurities and therefore
they hold pranayama in esteem and not the other
techniques.
295. Some of these practitioners with unflagging
resolution cultivate their saliva the sweet
dew pituitary hormone that descends from the
brain and perfect the way of internal
lubrication. When they have perfected this
method, they are known as heavenly immortals.
- Cultivating the Water element (hormones)
- Fountain of youth, grail wine, ambrosia, amrita,
- The state of Ching-an (lightness and peace,
pliancy) - This is the real Baptism, real Water empowerment
- Modern Hormone therapy - longevity hormones
- Hgh, DHEA, Progesterone, Estrogen, Testosterone
- No hormone works in isolation, you cannot balance
them on your own, measure the salivary
non-protein bound form rather than blood levels
(so most doctors overdose), transdermal delivery
rather than oral, natural rather than Provera - Urine therapy (minerals, steroids, )
30The Pre-Samadhi State of Ching-an
- Hatha Yoga Pradipika The yogi who drinks the
pure stream of nectar is freed from disease, has
longevity, and has a body as soft and as
beautiful as a lotus stem. - Tsan Tung chi (Triplex Unity)
- Wu-jen pien (Understanding Reality)
The sweet nectar pituitary hormone moistened
their skin and flesh Their tendons and bones
became soft and strong They expelled all the
internal toxins from the body And constantly
preserved their true energy Having accumulated
these effects over a long time Their bodies were
transformed and they became immortals
Everyone originally has the medicine of
immortality within However,they have lost their
understanding and thrown it away When the sweet
dew hormone descends, sky and earth will be
joined When the elixir is mature, gold will
naturally fill the room Why need to look for
herbs or burn reeds praying to heaven for
immortality?
31All Genuine Spiritual Schools Recognize this
Hormones Rejuvenating Effects
- Enclose the old man and the tree in a house of
dew, and eating of its fruit he will be made
young. - In the garden of Wisdom stands a tree, which
produces gold apples, - You should take this tree, with our old man
- Let them be locked up in a glass house, wet with
dew, - And let them stay there together for many days
- Then, o wonder, he will eat his fill from the
trees fruit, - So that he, who was formerly an old man, becomes
young again.

www.johnleemd.com -- John R. Lee, MD Medical
Letter
- Estrogen levels drop by 40-60 by menopause, but
progesterone levels drop to near 0 in some women.
So why do we supplement with estrogen alone? This
will cause estrogen dominance (excess estrogen or
insufficient progesterone). When the body doesnt
produce insulin any longer, you give it insulin.
So why, when the body stops producing estrogen
and progesterone, you give it only estrogen?
the body wasnt designed for unopposed estrogen.
Measure it using salivary tests, not blood serum! - Signs and symptoms of estrogen dominance PMS,
hot flashes, miscarriage, infertility, breast
swelling and tenderness, depression- headaches-
irritability- memory loss, fibrocysts, uterine
problems, water retention (bloating), fat gain,
decreased libido, fatigue, blood clotting, hair
loss, acne, thyroid problems (cold hands and
feet), poor sleep, impairs blood sugar control ...
36Estrogen and Progesterone
- Estrogen causes cancer, does not help prevent
heart attacks, interferes with the thyroid, turns
food energy into fat (give it to steers), doesnt
help osteoporosis (except around menopause, then
5-6 years later bone loss declines at same
rate)... - Progesterone calms the mind (brain less likely to
have seizures), treats breast fibrocysts (within
3 cycles), stimulates osteoblast bone building
(reverses osteoporosis, 29 in density in 3
years - the worst the start the better the
improvement), prevents miscarriages (luteal phase
failure), protects against premature birth,
corrects estrogen dominance remember its a
precursor hormone - Theres a great safety range for progesterone -
during pregnancy a womans body makes 350-400 mg
per day and creams are 15-20 mg/day.
Premenopause 15-25 mg/day for 14 days before
menses Postmenopausal 15 mg/day for 25 days of
month. Use creams containing 450-500 mg
progesterone per ounce (1.6 by weight or 3 by
volume), 1/4 teaspoon is about 20 mg/day.
37- Major federal premarin study halted (JAMA July
17, 2002). Taking hormones after menopause
increases risk of - breast cancer
- heart attack
- stroke
- blood clots
- Estrogen does NOT reduce a womans risk for heart
disease. - According to a British review of 22 studies, HRT
does not reduce fracture risk either (JAMA June
13, 2001)! Estrogen has no effect on bone density
(Annals Intl Med Nov 21, 2000). Estrogen does not
improve brain function. - If ovaries are removed or there are hot flashes
that dont respond to black cohosh, estrogen may
be a good idea.
Estrogen plus Progestin Pills Conditions per
10,000 women/year
38Testosterone
- Testosterone affects muscle, mood (depression),
libido (sex drive), energy (fatigue). Ken Wilber
calls it a fuck it/kill it tool Women, when
given testosterone injections, cant stop
thinking about sex. (Please, can you make this
stop?) -- A Brief History of Everything - Estradiol antagonist supplementation should be
made relative to estradiol levels (estrogen
dominance causes breast development and prostate
cancer) - Androgel for andropause- 1 transdermal gel
containing 1 mg of testerone per gram of gel.
Transdermal doses, from from saliva testing,
should be about 1-2 mg for men (.25-.5 mg for
women) - Personally, I dont recommend it. Hormone
balancing is near impossible what is right for
one person is wrong for another. However,
salivary measurement is proper, you should use
bioidentical hormones, focus on hormone ratios,
dont fuse the appetite for sex with the appetite
for aggression/violence.
39Hormone Biochemical Pathways
406. Some of these practitioners with unflagging
resolution make themselves strong by absorbing
the essence of the sun and moon. When they have
perfected the inhalation of this purity, they are
known as unimpeded penetrating immortals.
- Cultivating absorption of Light (energy from
nature) - The essence of sun and moon refers to pure
energies of yin and yang (left-right mai). You
dont visualize these energies but gaze at the
sun, moon and stars to absorb their essences. The
method requires special conditions of time and
place. - Insects and animals (clams) cultivate this method
in the wild - Yuyi Jielin Jing (Sacred Scripture of the Sun and
Moon) make the light of the sun and moon
embrace his or her entire person, reaching within
as far as the corners of the stomach and giving
him the feeling of being completely illuminated
within and without the whole body becomes
luminous and shines brightly.
417. Some of these practitioners with unflagging
resolution use mantras and special dharma
techniques to preserve their bodies. When they
have perfected this means of cultivation, they
are known as immortals of the lesser way.
- Special mantras to preserve their bodies (India,
China, Tibet) - Special ceremonies (Indian yagya, Medicine
Buddha mantra, ...) - Taoist sect of Worship and Prayer - The idea is
to unify the spirit and will through devotional
sincerity to affect changes of the spirit, psyche
and soul (shen, mind, chi). The exact methods are
not revealed. The incantations of shamans of
high antiquity, as well as the supplications
passed down from the time of the Yellow Emperor,
were based on this profound learning, and
although it later evolved into religious rites,
yet the basis was still related to the function
of the psyche of spiritual life and the soul.
In other words, transformations of jing, chi
and shen. -- The Story of Chinese Taoism ,

438. Some of these practitioners with unflagging
resolution master mental concentration and
perfect the way of meditation to preserve their
bodies. When they have perfected their method of
mental concentration, they are known as
illuminating immortals.
- Tao and Longevity, by Nan Huai Chin
- Twenty-Five Doors to Meditation A Handbook for
Entering Samadhi by William Bodri and Lee Shu-Mei
44Meditation
- Cultivate the life essence - chi, prana, qi, ki,
pneuma, wind element (Genesis God breathed
into man the breath of life and he became a
living soul) ... and then shen (spirit) and then
realize true emptiness (the Tao) - Cultivate the meditation stages, absorptions or
concentrations - 1st dhyana, vitarka samadhi, 1st concentration
- 2nd dhyana, vicara samadhi, 2nd concentration
- 3rd dhyana, ananda samadhi, 3rd concentration
- 4th dhyana, asmita samadhi, 4th concentration
- You have to abandon the pull of sexual desire and
food to cultivate these samadhi and access the
heavens in the Realm of Form - If you want to become an immortal, you have to
be ready to die. You have to beat all the random
thoughts to death.
459. Some of these practitioners with unflagging
resolution cultivate through sexual union to
preserve their bodies and live a long life. When
they have perfected this method of cultivation to
achieve harmonization, they are known as jing
sexual energy immortals.
- Cultivating jing and chi (Water and Wind
elements) - the Sexual Cultivation sect considers
that the internal secretions (hormones) of both
sexes possess life-prolonging effects, and when
practiced within normal married life without
confusion or dissipation, through sexual
activities one can realize a sublime spirit and
prolonged life. This school promotes such
practices as internal insight and refinement of
seminal energy (jing) long life through
prolonged insight. - Cultivating hormones, chi and chi mai
- Rules dont catch cold, pleasure but
non-ejaculation - Rest on the sweet spot for chi communication
46Sexual Cultivation
- Slow foreplay is important every time a man lies
with a woman so that the two spirits will be in
harmony. Only after the two spirits are perfectly
moved for a long time should the couple unite.
The man should enter the woman when the penis is
soft and pull it back out when it becomes firm
and strong. He should penetrate only without
ejaculating. He can have intercourse many times
in a single day without letting his essence leak
will increase his lifespan and heal himself of
all disease. -- Twenty-Five Doors to Meditation,
Bodri, p. 97 - Su Nu When a couple practise the Tao of Loving
correctly the male will remain healthy and
youthful and the female will avoid a hundred
diseases. Both will enjoy it thoroughly and at
the same time increase their physical strength.
But if they do not know how to practise it
correctly then love-making can be harmful to
their health. A good guideline is when the
female is completely satisfied and the male is
not yet exhausted. -- The Tao of Love and Sex,
Chang, p. 89
47- The generative force is the most precious thing
for the human body that contains it lives and the
body without it dies because it nourishes and
preserves the root of (essential) nature and
(eternal) life. No worldly men know how to
produce and purify it. If it is exhausted it
should be restored by the reproducing process
this is called restoring the generative force to
invigorate the brain. Vitality is basically
adequate in the human body but dissipates because
of sexual indulgence hence its deficiency. --
Taoist Yoga, Yu, pp. 33-34 - Huang Ti I have heard that men of the great
antiquity lived over 200 years and men of the
middle antiquity lived up to 120 years. But men
of our time often die before they reach the age
of 30. So few men are relaxed and at peace with
themselves these days and so many of them are
suffering from diseases. What do you think is the
reason for this? Su Nu the reason men often
die young today is that they do not know the
secret of the Tao. They are young and passionate
and they emit their ching indiscriminately when
they love. It is like cutting off the roots and
the fountain of their lives How can they expect
to live long? -- The Tao of Love and Sex, Chang,
pp. 92-93
48SWAMI MUKTANANDA ...
The sexual fluid is the source of health,
longevity, and endurance. Though I am an old man,
because of the retention of sexual fluid I feel
very young inside. Sexual fluid is your glow,
your vigor, your radiance, and your contentment.
It also gives strength to your prana and gives
force to your meditation. It is the force of the
sexual fluid which powers ones meditation. If
you were to hold it inside, it would give you
tremendous energy and make you much more
attractive. As a person conserves the sexual
fluid, it begins to move upward in the body. Then
he gains tremendous power. Just as you save some
of your earnings in the bank, you should save
some of your sexual fluid. - I Have Become
Alive, Muktananda, p. 93
49NAPOLEON HILL ...
- I discovered, from the analysis of over
25,000 people, that men who succeed in an
outstanding way, seldom do so before the age of
forty, and more often they do not strike their
real pace until they are well beyond the age of
fifty. This fact was so astounding that it
prompted me to go into the study of its cause
most carefully. - This study disclosed the fact that the major
reason why the majority of men who succeed do not
begin to do so before the age of forty to fifty,
is their tendency to dissipate their energies
through over-indulgence in physical expression of
the emotion of sex. The majority of men never
learn that the urge of sex has other
possibilities, which far transcend in importance
that of mere physical expression. The majority of
those who make this discovery, do so after having
wasted many years at a period when the sex energy
is at its height, prior to the age of forty-five
to fifty. This usually is followed by noteworthy
achievement. -- Think and Grow Rich, pp. 165-166
50Recovering Jing - The Horse Story
- Talking about a horse that would try to move
his back out from under riders as if they were
causing him pain ... It is obvious that he
lacks marrow in the bones of his back. Since the
Marrow Tissue is the foundation of Shukra he must
have a deficiency of sperms, which has kept his
vitality low. I can cure him with just two doses
of medicine. All you have to do after I dose him
is feed him the soup made from one dozen goat
thigh bones, and I can guarantee you a cure. - Dr. Saheb, said Vimalananda smoothly, horses
have no gall bladders, and feeding him something
as fatty as marrow soup will give him colic that
will kill him. - Dont worry yourself in the least, replied
the ever theatrical Dr. Martand. I guarantee
that no harm will come to him. While they
expected calamity, no complications were
experienced and he improved weekly. The goat
marrow had presumably filled his bones. --

51Common Sexual Deviations
- Gathering and supplementing techniques
(gathering yin to supplement yang or gathering
yang to supplement yin), collecting human
placentas, the ingestion of cinnabar and lead
(draining and ingesting the blood of young male
and female children) are all horrible deviations.
Rest is actually the secret of immortality for
this is where the life force comes from from
the extreme of yin arises yang. - Most people confuse semen with jing and try to
steal jing and chi from a sexual partner like a
vampire (i.e. foxes), but once out of the body
its like spit, piss, phlegm or pus. - Modern books non-ejaculatory yoga that tries to
spiritualize lust - Crazy movies with all sorts of deviations - no
chi communication

- Vedic Astrology (Suryanarain Raos Astrological
Primer) - If birth ascendant is Cancer with Moon and
Jupiter, Venus and Mercury are in quadrants and
evil planets are in houses 3, 6 and 11, the
person lives for a thousand years. - If birth ascendant is Leo with Jupiter there,
Venus in Cancer, Mercury in Virgo and the rest of
the planets in houses 3,6 and 11, he lives for
1000 years. - If birth ascendant is Aries, Sun in Cancer,
Saturn in Capricorn, Mars in Libra and powerful
Moon in Pisces, he lives for 2000 years. - No evil planets in trines, no good planets on
quadrants, and no malefics in 8 will give a very
long life. - Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Venus in quadrants to
each other gives long life. - Chinese Calendar of 24 Seasons (tie-in with

54The astronomical/astrological influences,
especially the phases of the moon, have a strong
effect on the subtle body (your chi) ... which in
turn governs the rhythms, cycles and activity of
the physical body. Therefore all Indian sadhana,
which are practices in order to develop siddhi,
prescribe exact times and periods of the month
for their practice. Traditionally the sunrise,
sunset, midnight and midday are most important,
as are the 14th and 8th days of the dark
fortnight. However, there are special sadhanas
for each of the tithis (lunar days). The fifth
day after the menses of the yogini is considered
especially potent for the maithuna sadhana.
Siddhi Theory and Taoism
The Sage takes his signs from the movements of
Heaven and Earth who knows his principles? He
accords with the Tao of yin and yang, and follows
their seasonal activity. He follows the cycles of
fullness and emptiness of Heaven and Earth,
taking them as his constant.

59Shakyamuni concluded
- These people all regulate their minds, but do
not cultivate the right bodhi prajna wisdom, the
enlightened mind. They cultivate some special
principle of life and can live for thousands, or
tens of thousands of years. They retire deep into
the mountains, or live on deserted islands in the
sea and cut themselves off from the human realm.
However, their states of attainment still belong
to the realm of false thinking rather than to
genuine samadhi. When the longevity of life which
is their reward is finished, they are condemned
to return again to the lower planes of existence.

60Taoist Super Life Extension (Longevity and
Immortality) Techniques
61Taoist Beliefs
- The Taoists believed that human wisdom could
make up for the shortcomings of Heaven and Earth.
They believed that the human body, as a physical
organism, had an unlimited potential and that if
a person learned how to tap into this potential,
they could act as an active participant and
supplement the shortcomings of Heaven and earth
to transform their bodies and live forever. - The inherent idea of the Taoists is that Heaven
and Earth, in their regularity, last forever and
the human being can cultivate a similar longevity
that lasts forever as well (to match the
longevity of celestial bodies). Since human
beings could control Heaven and Earth by managing
the laws of nature, an individual could learn how
to control his own life, including its longevity,
so as to reach a state were they were not subject
to the laws of nature. All this was to be
accomplished through the cultivation of his being
and wisdom.
62Tao School Basics
JING Generative force, semen, seminal energy,
ojas, hormones, bindus, bodhicitta, water
element, ching (tamas - inertia) CHI Life force,
prana, ether, biocosmic energy,orgone, wind
element, mind, soul, qi (rajas -
activity) SHEN Spirit, tejas, no-thought, light,
emptiness, illumination (sattva - equilibrium)
63How Taoism Describes the Spiritual Path
- You transform your jing into chi
- You transform your chi into shen
- You transform your shen into emptiness
- You return emptiness to the Tao
Jing, chi and shen are the supreme medicine of
longevity.
64Two Sets of Basic Principles
- When your jing becomes full you wont think of
sex - When your chi becomes full you wont think of
eating - When your shen is full you wont feel like
sleeping
- If you dont accumulate your jing, you will never
experience the state of physical bliss - If you dont accumulate your chi, you will never
experience the stage of internal light - If you dont accumulate your shen, you will never
experience the state of no-thought
65The Time Sequences of the Spiritual Path
66The Pure Cultivation Sect
- You leave the secular life, avoid worldly
affairs and become pure by cultivating the spirit
and chi, eliminating desires and cutting off
ties, and refining body and mind so as to attain
a state of purity, quietude, non-action, and
emptiness. Using the effects of the highest
quietude, you only seek accumulation and do not
become involved any form of dissipation. You
ignite the potential energy in your own body such
as by opening the eight extra meridians including
the conception and governing meridians, then
realize fixing the spirit and accumulating chi,
develop the marvelous function in life, and
create a new life freely and independently. This
is the Pure Cultivation Sect spoken of by the
later Taoist School, and it is also called the
Single Cultivation Sect.
67The Tao School Immortal God of Longevity
- (1) The intestines have become empty and clean
- (2) The chi channels have all completely opened
through, including to the bottom of the feet from
meditation - (3) The chi and hormones have reached a state of
fullness and equilibrium from cultivation
(meditation) - (4) They have achieved a stable level of
one-pointed concentration (samadhi) - (5) Their merit is sufficient (cultivating virtue
and performing 3000 good deeds)
68Summary
- Tao school said
- Tap into the inherent basis for life and
supplement it - Requirements
- Merit Meditation Method Time Result
- Even Taoism relied on internal and external
substances, human and heavenly assistance (mantra
/ prayer)
69The Common Principle is Meditation!
- Whether its Hinduism, yoga, Buddhism, Taoism,
the Bible or whatever, the common factor in super
life extension is not drugs but daily meditation,
i.e. devoted spiritual practice - Taoism explains the physical transformations as
jing gt chi, chi gt shen, shen gt emptiness which
involve transformations between generative
energies (physical matter), vital energies (life
force), and spirit

711. Air - Oxygen
- You cant live without oxygen, so clean air is
your 1 priority. - Dr. Otto Warburg cancer cannot grow in a high
oxygen environment Dr. Stephen Levine oxygen
deficiency causes disease - The air is filled with pollutants that add to our
toxic load. These substances have to be
detoxified or better yet, removed at the start so
you dont inhale them. Breath through a face mask
to see the difference or watch a lung autopsy to
see how they collect in the lungs. Few medicines
can help once theyre lodged inside. Air bubbles
trapped in fossils show 35 oxygen content vs.
20 today. - Allergies, asthma, emphysema, environmental
sensitivities ... - Studies repeatedly show that the air inside our
houses is more polluted than the air outside so
keep your windows open. Also, outgas new
furniture and carpets when you buy them. - Deep breathing exercises promote alertness and
more oxygen
72Particles versus Gases
If you dont know what you want to remove you can
waste a lot of money.
PARTICLES
GASES
- Activated carbon or activated charcoal air
filters - Chemically break down toxic gases, vapors, odors
by exposing them to ozone (O3) made by an ozone
generator - Poorly built units give off Nitrogen compounds
that are harmful - You should never smell it. Turn it on using a
timer when you are not present. - Ozone oxidizes odors negative ions do not
- HEPA filters suck particles out of the air and
trap them with filters - Electrostatic filters
- Negative ion generators put slight negative
ionic charges on dust, pollen, particles and
attract them to precipitate out of the air onto
nonliving surfaces you clean. This mimics the
natural cleaning process of nature (seashore,
waterfalls, storms). Very helpful in cases of
breathing disorders as the ions help our
breathing (lung microfilaments). Asthma !!!

dehumidifiers air too dry use vaporizers
Pet Urine smell - Anti Icky Poo
75Meditation Breathing Methods
- Pranayama Practice - expands the lung capacity,
produces mental clarity, cultivates your chi (the
breath of life), poets did it! - The arising of real chi (kundalini) is when the
breath stops. This is called tai hsi in Chinese.
You practice holding your breath to activate this
prenatal chi that comes along with life. If you
can ignite/activate it, you can clean your chi
channels and prolong your life.
76Miscellaneous Encounters
Oxygen for healing
- All sorts of healing therapies depend upon
increasing circulation (nattokinase, Adaptrin,
Woebenzyme) and delivering more oxygen - H2O2 hydrogen peroxide, ozone therapy, mineral
salts, stabilized oxygen, ionization, Hyperbaric
oxygen chambers - Exercise! Massage
- German ozone therapy,Canadian government
studyshows ozonating blood destroys AIDS
772. Water
- Your body is 70 water, and you need about 8
glasses/day, not including coffee, tea, milk,
juice, soda, - Fereyoon Batmanghelidj - worlds expert on water
- Distilled water - dead water that lacks
minerals - Bottled water - usually contains plastics
(xenoestrogens) - Tap water - flouride, chlorine, heavy metals,
chemicals should be filtered before drinking
you absorb more chlorine through a shower than by
drinking water since your skin is a sieve - Epidemiological and in vivo studies suggest you
want water high is dissolved solids, slightly
alkaline (pH gt 7) and hard - Acid/Alkaline - drink slightly alkaline water
(Japanese hospitals), wash with slightly acidic
78How to Filter Water
- Chlorine easy to remove through carbon/charcoal
filters and KDF - Flouride difficult to remove except through
distillation, reverse osmosis or activated
alumina - Small faucet filters are usually useless since
they lack a sufficient amount of filtering
material - Showers need filters as much as tap water! Your
skin is a sieve your body eats whatever lands on
its skin.
Essential - NSF rating, one lb. of KDF minimum
Doulton, HiTech H2O,...
Usually useless

813. Food
- You are what you eat, drink, absorb, THINK!
- Metabolic Typing vs. Eat Right 4 Your Type
- The few things I recommend (besides organic)
- Avoid food intolerances/sensitivities/allergies
- Cut down on sugar and grains (gluten intolerance,
subclinical celiac disease hits 1/33 or 1/250
people), insulin levels - Multivitamin/multimineral supplement (with
antioxidants so eat lots of fruits,
multi-colored veggies, ...) - Essential oils supplement - good fats not bad
fats (cod liver oil, fish oil omega 3s, olive
oil, coconut oil, butter, ) - Perhaps a green powder (juicing) or immune
supplement or digestive enzymes (temporarily
probiotics, B12 for vegetarians)
82Ayurveda Theory of Taste
According to the theory of taste (rasa) every
food, element, herb or compound can be classified
according to one of 6 primary tastes sweet,
sour, saline, pungent, bitter or astringent.
Combinations of these primary either an
harmonious (healthy) or inharmonious (unhealthy)
reaction in the body humors tridosha of vayu,
pitta and kapha. Thus through the apana-vayu
(taste motility pathway), the threefold
materiality basis can be modified through the
rasayana (taste science) preparations, which are
the elixirs and rejuvenators of alchemical
reference. According to the ayurvedic (science of
life) traditions, which were the inspiration of
Greek and Arab medical science, the three cosmic
essentials of sweet, sour, and saline pacify the
vayu (space air) humor. Sweet, bitter and
astringent pacify the pitta (fire water) while
pungent and bitter and astringent pacify the
kapha (water earth aggregate). Many are the
permutations of this essential relationship.
83Meditation Based on Taste
- Gavampati, a student of Shakyamuni Buddha,
attained samadhi by looking into tasting,
realizing that it was neither a subjective
substance or objective thing, and thereby in time
won enlightenment. - The two Bodhisattvas called Bhaisajya-raja and
Bhaisajya-samudgata who were present rose from
their seats, prostrated themselves at the feet of
the Buddha and declared Since the time without
beginning we have been skilful physicians in the
world and have tasted with our own mouths herbs,
plants and all kinds of mineral and stone found
in the world, numbering 108,000 in all. As a
result we know perfectly their tastes, whether
bitter or sour, salt, insipid, sweet, acrid,
etc., their natural, changing or harmonizing
properties, and whether they are cooling,
heating, poisonous or wholesome. We received
instruction from the Tathagata and knew clearly
that taste was neither existent nor non-existent,
was neither body nor mind and did not exist apart
from them. Since we could discern the cause of
taste, we achieved our awakening which was sealed
by the Buddha who then named us Bhaisajya-raja
and Bhaisajya-samudgata. We are now ranked among
the sons of the Dharma king in this assembly
and because of our awakening by means of taste,
we have attained the Bodhisattva stage. As the
Buddha now asks about the best means of
perfection, to us taste is the best according to
our personal experience. -- Surangama Sutra, p.

85A Rational Gameplan
- Sickness is an imbalance, so correct the
biochemical (or structural) imbalance. You have
to remove the poisons causing harm and open up
the pathway channels of delivery and elimination - Step 1 Stop adding to the problem (allergic
foods, toxic exposure ) - Step 2 Clean out the cesspool - fast, lose
weight, empty the fat cells of toxins, detox,
clean the organs, colonics, decrease acidosis,
... - Step 3 Clean the pipes so things can be excreted
or delivered - chelation, nattokinase, ginko,
cayenne, breathing exercises, castor oil packs,
massage and deep tissue bodywork - Step 4 Increase the blood circulation and oxygen
exposure - exercise, acupuncture (chi), lose
weight, cold/hot therapy, minerals, massage and
body work. Meditation recovers lost vitality. - Step 5 Rebuild, strengthen, nurture health -
good nutrition and supplements to activate,
modulate, bolster the chemistry responsible for
healing targeted modulation (receptor sites)
