Reversing the Light
Hello,
In Taoism there is an expression that says ''reversing the Light''. This expression can be found in many books among the famous book translated in English: The secret of the golden flower. The technique of reversing the Light is pretty simple and is the essence of all spirituality. When looking at an object there is a ray of light coming into your eyes. Instead of looking at the object reverse the light and be aware of who is looking. As simple as that to realize Who you are. Enjoy! |
Hey Legrand!
Great coincidence, I think I figured it out just last week. When in Samadhi trance, I could project my awareness out of body. Then, as you state, the trick was to reverse the awareness along that same path to look within me. And it worked! Thanks! |
That is great news!

Gee, I never heard this particular phrase.
Of course, what the phrase actually means is very common. Yup :thumbsup: Oddly, when I was 5 yrs old, ah, I remember everything about the scene: My mind was suddenly 'altered' and from inside me, behind my eyes I experienced this, (to a 5yr old 'this person', an adult male feeling), looking out of my eyes witnessing everything in a 'neutral, unemotional, non-judgey ' place. I had another consciousness in there ...and it was no 5 Year Old! At 8 yrs old, my 'altered states' really took hold. (That one I was shown everything our eyes see is fake, unreal, made of dreamstuff.) Explanation? - I was probably a devotee, meditator in past lives. |
It takes a lot of time to become young, said my father :smile:

Thank you Sky,
They added a nice picture in chapter four of this internet version of the secret of the golden flower. Just love it, the language of the birds... |
To me reversing the light is turning to look within instead of out, reversing where consciousness looks for answers.

This is the key I used this morning, that's just great, it starts to really make sense!
