Cosmic Fusion
Fig. 9.9 As Below So Above
As the lower part of the body and its organs is looked at as
associated with the instinctive animal obscure part, connected with
sexuality, which prevents the mind and the spirit from its upward
vocation, it is ignored and bypassed. The Taoist approach fully honors
and recuperates the dignity of the body as a whole. The Tao
recognizes the belly and its organs, connected with our sexuality
and water energy which is the source of creative power from which
all energy transformations flow. By getting in touch with our most
intimate parts, we also gain access to the source of our creative
powers.
In that sense, the Fusion Practices invite us to reconnect with
those parts of ourselves, both physically and psychically, which
have been the focus of repression. This repression is not only in
most of our cultures but also within ourselves, as we internalized
what we learned and accumulated in our culture, at home, in school
and though the media. In order to reconnect and truly get in touch
with our organs, we need an instrument which is capable understanding
them.
