Product DescriptionThis book describes the energy centers of the body in terms of Richard Wilhelm's book The Secret of the Golden Flower, Taoist philosophy and terminology, and personal experience, and relates these esoteric visualizations descriptively through graphics based on the authors own exotic experience. Willard J. Lamb analyzes the many disparate and esoteric forces at work that create some of the most beautiful, and at the same time intriguing displays of energy production and use within the human body. These are as the author saw them. Man has often wondered at his place in the universe, and offered many solutions. Willard J. Lamb has proffered some surprising answers to this mystical aspect of human nature. He does this in a manner that seems to flow out of the encounters with some very bizarre, yet illuminating experiences. Man is an ever changing species, we have evolved over time when many species have not changed. We are in a continual process of change, and moving toward some future existence of which we can only surmise. The one thing that characterizes human existence and culture as it advances is that we continually find more and better ways of utilizing energy and increasing our capabilities as humans. There is a direct relationship between man's level of existence and his place in the universe, and his ability to control and use energy. These exotic displays of power may very well be the future. About the AuthorWillard J. Lamb is a 1964 graduate of the University of Kansas with a degree in psychology. He has practiced Taiji Quan for over thirty years, and has researched the esoteric forces inherent in the elusive qi of the internal Chinese martial arts. He has taught the internal nature of Taiji for most of those years, and is author of five books on the subject. The author of this unique documentation and graphic rendering of those esoteric forces takes you step by step through the illumination process and describes, in detail and graphically, those visualizations you will encounter on this journey. His unique approach to the question of our existence and the place of man in the universe will lead you on a journey that few of us can ever attain. He states that it is not our perfection that leads us down this road, but it is instead, our inability to sustain the defenses surrounding our exotic nature that allow us to see what is unseen.
