The Temple's work with the Oriental Commission of spirits at the beginning of 2020 is paying off, and maybe in a way, I could never have imagined. I make it no secret that I am a longtime student of a family lineage of Baguazhang linked with the Hop Sing Tong Benevolent Society headquartered in Los Angeles, China Town, California. I have also received harsh tutelage in both Northern and Southern Mantis schools, admittedly more Southern than Northern.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 hoax (I predicted in 2018 with the clearest and most accurate prediction there ever was within that context HERE), my professional workload became a sort of continual nightmare. I work in the health field, but directly with people, which means I am not dancing for Tik-Tok videos at empty hospitals, coding every death as COVID-19, or getting $39,000 for each flu victim hooked up to a respirator. Fucking shameful. My usual 8 to 9-hour workday turned into 12-14 hours. I barely had time to sleep, let alone visit with people who follow my work.
However, very recently, when an actual Daoist lineage holder from Northern Californa said he'd be in Tucson and wanted to share knowledge on Baguazhang, I could not pass it up. What he did not tell me until we met, is that is Master, a Priest who lives on Wudang Mountain, had a similar prediction about a "Black wind" blowing from China to the United States. He proceeded to tell me that he found my work on YouTube when he stumbled across the New Years Oriental Commission video. He was curious about why I was burning Hellnotes while practicing Voudo.
He read more about the Oriental Commission and the 21 Commissions of Puerto-Rican Voudou, Sanse. Once he saw the global nature of Sanse as well as the work of the Temple, he wanted to meet me. It was a true gift to have a friendly sparring match with someone else with his level of true martial skill. His lineage of Daoism is exceptionally refined and clean. He could not learn my method of Baguazhang because a fighting Tong (the training hall of a clan or gang) had engineered it, and he felt that it contained too violent a spirit. Instead, he transmitted to me the first, second, and third sections or "palms" of his lineage's Baguazhang. In a few years, I can see if I am ready to inherit more.
We talked metaphysics, and he gave me something he wanted me to share, a contribution of his own to the Temple's cause of global slave revolt. He was surprised to learn that in Sanse and Spiritism, each person has a spiritual court consisting of many spirit guides but that 3-5 act as the spokespersons for the rest, and the principle guide, or sentinel spirit, speak for all. These spirit beings meet and discuss how best to help you at the top of your head, or "crown." African religions like Voudou and Ifa (all Loa or Orisha based religions) understand the crown of your head, and the crown of God is the same.
He told me that, unsurprisingly, Daoism has the near exact framework. However, he said that on the 14th of every month, the highest level and most benevolent beings (Daoist Gods and Immortals, etc.) gather to discuss the state of the world. This meeting is projected in miniature (microcosm) on the Bai Hui point (crown or highest point on the top of a person's head) of every person in the world. Each person's spirit guides are invited to sit in at that person's particular projection of the meeting and ask questions specific to that person, for that person's highest good, of these Daoist Gods and Immortals.
I had chills, and then he proceeded to make hand signs or mudras over the top of my head so he could transmit that knowledge upon me. Not since my first Godfather bestowed his lineage of Voudo and Occultism to me, or the night I got scratched into Palo Mayombe, has person to person energy transmission been that intense.
We will be keeping in touch for sure. The Oriental Commission, which continues to be a major force in the Temple, has made another incredibly significant contribution by making inroads to this lineage of authentic Daoism.
To actively sit in on this meeting the 14th of every month, you must wait until at least 10 pm. You need to be very clean. Bathe, put on clean white clothes, have fasted since noon, and washed out your mouth. Light a white candle and a stick of incense. Bring a cup of clean water. Sit on the floor, or a pillow, legs crossed for meditation.
Announce yourself, state your name, and that have come to listen in on the tremendous heavenly gathering. State that you light this candle, burn this incense, and offer this water has a contribution to the celestial court.
Now focus on the smoke rising from the incense stick and let it lift your awareness and spirit, filling your head. Focus your attention on the very topmost point on your head, and you will see an entire congress of little spirits gathered and discussing the state of the world. Now get very still and listen as intently as you can while remaining as relaxed as possible. When you find your mind has wandered off three times, you have finished. The more meetings you sit in on, the clearer you will be able to hear what is said.
There is a special mudra or hand position to use, but it is not necessary, and I will share that only with Temple members as well as other things which are now officially Temple tradition.

Gen or the Mountain trigram expresses both the energy and birth order of the youngest son. He is outwardly the least active of the sons. He is often considered introspective and obstinate. His act of defiance is the action of seemingly non-action, holding firm, and planting himself in one spot. The youngest son possesses elemental attributes of wet and solid earth. Muddy and heavy, draining the energy out of anyone trying slog past him or thick and impassable, becoming a massive wall that cannot be scaled.
The youngest son has the size and incredible strength of his father the Lion but not Lion’s aggressive manner. While he is unquestionably stronger than his two brothers, he does not have Dragon’s stellar athletism nor Snake’s fluid speed. The youngest son hopes his size and strength will deter attackers. However, when pressed, he is a formidable opponent capable of utilizing his inherent nature with fantastic skill.
In the physical dimension and Chinese cultural context, his traits culminate in the Bear. The Bear is a resilient creature who prefers to be left alone, But if need be, Bear roots himself between his enemies and victory. Bear will never budge or give an inch, no matter what. He is the giant rock all others will eventually break themselves against.
The Gen or Mountain trigram of the I-Ching is comprised of one yang line supported by two yin lines. Comparing Mountain trigram to the human body, the upper yang line expresses an exceptionally fixed and uncompromising mind. The two lower yin lines show an upper and lower body, which are loose and soft but also dense and powerful.
The invisible middle pillar of the Mountain trigram is the spine flanked by ribs. Bear trains how to develop a stable and robust backbone, not unlike a central pole holding up a giant circus tent. He teaches us to allow our flesh to hang from our skeleton as a thick heavy leather coat hangs from a rack. Such practice eventually thickens one’s bones increasing health and vitality by packing energy into the body’s deepest hollows and then moving outward. Our outward expanding energy field is linked to our consciousness. Bear can become movable but also so acutely perceptive he boarder lines on pre-cognition.
Bear’s military strategy is consolidation and fortification. He is not a conqueror like his father the Lion or his brother the Dragon is; neither is he a highly maneuverable skirmisher like his brother Snake. Bear is a fortress. He holds his ground and defends, waiting for his opponent to overreach. Bear is like carrying a fly swatter and waiting for the wasp to land. When the window of opportunity presents its self, Bear unleashes devastating, and quality of life-altering, attacks.
Bear enjoys blocking his enemy’s progress as well as their escape. He likes to lean on them, crushing them with his size and stature. Bear exhausts his opponents, wears them down, and breaks them. His attacks jar, and rock his attackers breaking their bones and collapsing their internal cavities. Bear’s strikes have the nasty habit of seizing up the lungs, stopping the heart, rupturing eardrums, or the spleen or the liver and fill the stomach cavity with bile and blood.
Bear’s attacks are sudden, harsh, and stiff. He favors mid and short-range attacks with his hands. Relying on swatting, backhanding, and thrusting techniques. He is an outstanding wrestler, mauling his opponent like his father, the Lion. Bear tactics are sealing his enemy’s windpipe with throat grabs which is a step up for hip tossing or bull-rushing (called pancaking in America) — stepping on his opponent’s foot when he knocks them backward causing significant pain and injury to ligaments. Also, “turning the back” methods, a way to generate torque in close quarters fighting but not losing your ground. Bear excels in using hip tosses, body locks, and trips. Bear looks to overcrowd the aggressor while jamming and stuffing their attacks.
Like his father and his brothers, Bear is heavy-handed, but instead of limbs, he like Snake seeks to pulverize the opponent’s body. However Bear, like Dragon, is an adept counter striker. Bear stomps and stamps on his attacker’s feet and ankles seldom kicking higher than the knee. Bear demonstrates his power in how, like his father the Lion, he violently strikes to collapses the windpipe, temples, orbital bones, chest or stomach cavity of his attacker, and then crashing down on them as they lay gasping for air or crippled with pain, to finish them off.
Bear dominates space with frightening efficiency. Using Bear strategies, I control fights with Boxers (Western and Thai), as well as MMA fighters employing superior ring or cage tactics. The Bear doesn’t chase his opponents. He stalks them down or forces them to go on the offensive. Mountain trigram is about stubborn obstinance. Eventually, opponents get tired of running and are forced to advance, or maneuver themselves into a corner, and I give them no way out. When the opponent is stuck, exhausted, and frustrated, turning them into hamburger is a very reasonable request. Upon taking an exceeding stiff shot to their solar-plexus, finding themselves cornered with their lungs seizing up and me coming down on them like an avalanche, smart fighters concede rather than risk me ending their careers or worse.
Excellent Bear shape and a SNAZZY dresser!
Holding the Bear shape, while integrating it with circle walking, creates a robust blood-oxygen mix, circulating blood and energy throughout the major channels but in particular the spleen, giving benefit to the whole body, sending power throughout the limbs, adding color to the face and significantly increasing overall vitality, promoting youthful air and appearance.
In the spiritual dimension, practicing the Bear summons forth greater tranquility and intuition, as well as the beneficial attention of this easy-going but protective creature. The upper body shape is both a specific frequency and transmitter, while the duress in the legs acts as the power to broadcast said particular frequency. Daoist circle walking creates a portal by defining the radius of the wuji or void within the physical world.
Holding the Bear shape and meditating on its qualities while circle waking, entices the Bear spirit to draw near, thereby making it aware of you, and placing yourself in its amazing purvey.
Those who have found Bear’s favor (through sustained and committed practice) will discover that the progress of their enemies halted, they will find themselves enjoying more excellent stability and inner peace as well as steady increases of health and creature comforts. Lastly, both demons and harmful ghosts will find their path to you fraught with obstacles and unable to reach you unless you invite them first.

What circle walking metaphysically looks and feels like.
For an esoteric principle to be valid and therefore authentic, it must work on all levels. It needs to resonate across and cause response from all dimensionalities. There is no such thing as purely mental or strictly physical techniques within legitimate esoterism. The mechanic of the principle is required not only to invoke but involve the holy trinity- mind, body, and spirit.
Directing our attention to the Wudang Mountains, we find the Daoist holy lands, comprised of 72 peaks (an auspicious number to be sure) and launch pad for the ascension of numerous immortals, deities and other supernatural beings. Here we enter a secluded world of authentic mysticism, and within its vault of secrets, the practice of Daoist circle walking (Baguazhang’s signature training method) is one of its most prized treasures.
Wudang Mountain and Daoist Temples. BEAUTIFUL! The Daoist holy land sure beat the fuck out of “Mecca.”
A cornerstone of the Daoist belief is the earth mirrors the Heavens, or, “earth follows the mandate of Heaven.” The precession of the stars and planets, as well as celestial events, are the result of divine precision. The wise observe the earth being receptive to the happenings above and then yield to and reflect the mandate of Heaven themselves.
It is considered beneficial to be in harmony with, move -like, mimic qualities of, and adopt the positioning of Heaven and Earth. One should cultivate and internalize the expressions of power around him or herself, looking to nature (nature as the natural disposition of the universe expressed through creation) as the supreme teacher. Internal Feng-Shui only corrects and empowers external Feng-Shui.
Daoist circle walking reflects the positioning of celestial bodies to one another and the circumambulations of the small around the big. The Daoists not only sussed that the earth orbited the sun before the Greeks, but went a step further and emulated it by mimicking a satellite circling the gravitational field of a more massive object. This pull and drag effect stimulates cellular ebb and flows within us, which is not unlike the moon influencing tides. Over time this practice restores our north/south pole magnetic balance by re-aligning the human axis (in direct relationship with the earth’s axis) known as the spine or Chong-Mai.
Walking is an essential function of living, at least on this planet and in this dimension. The human body was designed to walk and not only that, be benefited from walking. A hidden directive hardwired into our core prodding as to explore and be rewarded for it. The benefits of walking are many, but here are a few major ones:
1. Burns calories
Walking initiates the burning of stored energy, massages the lower intestine and bowls encouraging regular movements.
2. Strengthens cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
Exercise tones the heart and lungs as it requires steady supplies of blood and oxygen.
3. Lowers blood sugar.
Exercise requires energy and sugars burn quickest and first.
4. Eases joint pain.
The on and off pressure felt by the feet during walking creates a pump action circulating synovial fluid through the body. Synovial fluid lubricates joints and warms tendons. This fluid also travels up and down the spine, and I personally believe it is highly conductive of bioelectricity.
5. Boosts immune function.
Supplying your body with steady increases of fresh blood, oxygen, and circulation of nutrients to cells helps to maintain your body’s upkeep regularly. This helps your immune system to put its full energy towards fighting infections, viruses, and diseases while they are still minor, not allowing them to become a severe threat.
6. Boost your energy.
Circulating blood and oxygen along with synovial fluid triggers more effective use of cellular ATP.
7. Improve your mood.
Exercise stimulates the release of dopamine and other painkillers chemicals. This improves feelings of overall well being.
8. Extends your life.
Walking is an aerobic but low impact exercise. This allows for improved and prolonged circulation of bodily fluids and glandular secretions but does not violently jar or break down the body like jogging or running.
9. Tone the legs.
The muscles of the legs are the biggest muscles in the human body. They require a large amount of blood and oxygen. The stronger and more active your legs are the more calories, and nutrient uptake is needed to fuel them.
10. Improved creativity.
The increase in fresh blood, oxygen, and synovial fluid heighten cognitive function, strengthening abstract thinking capabilities.
Tortoise and Snake walking methods.
As we age, we have a tendency to drift apart from those we associated with it. This self-imposed isolation leads to cognitive defects and backslides, lacking social stimulation for our brains to grow or at least maintain a baseline. Inside our body, a similar action is taking place through what is known as “organ drift.”
With age, muscles atrophy quicker, and tendons lose their elasticity if they are not exercised. Excess weight often accumulates in the stomach and gravity starts a downward pull. This pull creates space for internal organs to drift apart from each other. Like us, our internal organs are “social” and do better with fewer degrees of separation.
The rattle and hum of our internal functions is a resonate tone unique to each individual. A personal mantra of sorts. When our organs are near, they synergize and harmonize. However, as they drift apart, each becomes more isolated, more burdened and our resonate tone become weaker. Disease and death soon fill the spaces in between.
The constant strong but gentle twisting and frequent turnings preformed in Daoist circle walking produce a counter against gravity’s downward pull and massages the internal organs. After 3 months of daily circle walking, astounding differences in health can be reported. Detoxification, higher and sustained energy levels, as well as tighter, firmer muscles around the midsection. Circle walking pulls the internal organs back together, strengthening our resonate tone and greater vital is the result.
Both Daoist circle-walking and the martial art of Baguazhang hold the principle of Yin and Yang in the highest regard. All things balance out, whether we know it or want it too. The purpose of adhering to the Dao is finding benefit from the balance out, instead of a detriment. What you do with yin you do in equal measure with yang. Walking the circle eight times counter-clockwise requires eight clockwise in return.
The “mirroring” of movements on the right and left sides of the body has positive and empowering effects on the right and left hemispheres of the brain. Building stronger hemispherical linkage via the corpus callosum. Right and the left hemispheres initiate brain integration and collaborations of each’s respective functions. Opening up avenues of truly unlimited potential in terms of creativity, problem-solving, and intuition.
How the body twists during circle walking, especially while holding the most commonly seen upper body shape, the Dragon or more correctly the Dragon’s Heart, has a profound effect on the Coeliac Ganglion otherwise known as the Solar-Plexus. The Solar-Plexus is regarded as a grand-central station for bio-electrical and Automatic Nervous System (ANS) impulses. A mass of nerve tissue seated above the upper abdomen and branching throughout the upper to lower toro. The Solar-Plexus connects the spine with the brain to the vagus nerve and the stomach. It regulates adrenal flow, blood pressure, manages pain, and a host of other vital systems.
BK assuming one of the best and most weaponized Dragon Body postures ever. I met him once and was lucky enough to have him show me a “big man’s” Dragon as well as one of the most lethal palm change sequences I’ve seen…and used. I practice it DAILY.
The unique way in which the internal mechanic of Daoist circle walking joins the solar center of the person to the solar center, or just the center, of the circle; opens and closes the Solar-Plexus, allowing it to stretch and flex. In the same way, running defragmentation protocol and regularly installing software upgrades to your computer makes it run smoother and more efficiently, exercising your Solar-Plexus increase it’s longevity and output.
Daoist circle walking has a potent Parasympathetic effect on the body, which means it counters the Sympathetic hindering action which the majority of people are needlessly under the prolonged influence of.
The Eyes Sympathetic: Dilated, better to see when frightened. Parasympathetic: Constricted, no threat.
Heart Rate Sympathetic: Frightened and anxious, needs more oxygen and glucose to pump faster. Parasympathetic: Feels safe and confident, no need for to irregular or increased heart rate.
Hand Temperature Sympathetic: Cold. The blood is drawn in away from the extremities and saved for the heart and brain as in survival mode. Parasympathetic: Warm. The body does not feel it is in survival mode. Blood flows freely and unrestricted.
Sleep Sympathetic: Anxiety, insomnia, and restlessness. Parasympathetic: Deep and restful sleep.
Male Sexual function Sympathetic: Inability to achieve an erection. Parasympathetic: Full erection.
Female sexual function Sympathetic: Inability to lubricate. Parasympathetic: Promotes lubrication.
The martial art of Baguazhang takes directly from the Daoist circle walking, mimicking the movements of celestial bodies in the medium of earthly powers, or emulations, such as walking like a tortoise or a snake. The different types of walking produced different effects in the body and coupled with specific upper body postures, the result could be powerful indeed.
The emphasis of Daoist circle walking is assuming and maintaining an upper body posture, not upper body movements, per-say. The pose is held as if an action is about to occur. This enlivens the otherwise static position, giving the mind, body, and spirit a chance to intermingle within it. Primming for all actions which could eventually follow.
The employing of Daoist walking and Baguazhang will, without question, produce and promote a high degree of full-body muscularity. However, it is the overall promotion of muscularity, which takes center stage. Engaging in regular Baguazhang practice and also participating in heavy but basic strength training will build more useful muscle quicker than lifting weight alone. Legs, however, are another matter. The healthy constraint placed on the legs from Baguazhang practic forges exceedingly athletically muscular, and injury resistant legs.
Baguazhang practice at a Daoist temple on Wudang mountain. Damn, I am doing that next life.
From the perspective of the physical world, Daoist circle walking makes sense. It is aerobic, honing an essential life skill, enhances endurance, improves athleticism, and promotes both flexibility and strength. Baguazhang is a supremely capable martial art combining fluid combination striking with deviously clever wrestling and fast-paced maneuverable footwork. However, the betterment of physicality alone is not enough to be considered a legitimate esoteric practice. There remain the mind and spirit, and both of which I will cover in part 2.
*I am currently working on what will be the most user-friendly and comprehensive Baguazhang video series to date to be released via Vimeo. Complete practice, strength training, combat applications of the most dependable and ruthless variety as well as beginner to advanced spiritual development all practiced at the SAME time.
I have scoured the internet and found only a small hand full of good Baguazhang. Many of these teachers only do high priced seminars now. The rest are utter frauds. If you are eager to get started (and I don’t blame you if you are) here is a link to a decent break down of circle walking and single and double palm changes. The stance and walking demonstrated are solid enough that I feel comfortable endorsing this video for the beginning of someone’s circle walking practice.
Be mindful of your knees and lower back. Everything below your solar-plexus (unless engaging in palm changes) should be facing the direction you are walking. Only your solar-plexus and above should orientate towards the center of the circle you are walking.
The Machete leads the way and defends all who follow.
Papa Machete is a near 30-year student of the Chinese Daoist martial art known as Baguazhang. Inherited from the Wong family, he has successfully used this fast, fluid and ferocious martial art to protect himself and others from elements of the 1990’s gang culture, from Neo-Conservative nutbags during the Bush-era nightmare while being followed home from 9-11 Truth movements and early 2000s Tea-Party rallies (before the co-opting). Most recently Papa Machete has used Dragon, Tiger, Lion, and Hawk body Baguazhang methods to literally mangle the vile idiot left and its agents. Stepping in to put Antifa and Satanic/Nazi-themed paramilitary on the ground, or under it (as the situation dictated), when they attacked the elderly, woman or engaged in terrorist activities against this country.
The following information comes from the lineage of Baguazhang I inherited from Wong and Fu family styles of Baguazhang. I have been practicing and developing Wong and Fu styles of Baguazhang for 30 years now. In those years I have unfortunately been forced into some extremely violent situations. I have brought Baguazhang to bear against all manner of people and fighting strategies. I disguised my Baguazhang as my stand-up game while sparring with top-tier MMA heavyweight fighters in Southern California. Never once have I felt threatened or have I been overwhelmed by anyone, anywhere. Baguazhang has kept me firm upon the earth when I have needed to send others into the next. From Human Traffickers, Police Officers, Enforcers, Gang stalkers, Paramilitary and Fascist Satanists (I literally put my heel into the throat of Tempel ov Blood and Black Knights of the Trapezoid), drunk belligerent assholes, or retards off the internet who truly learned the meaning of regret, Baguazhang was more than they could handle. Soon I will be teaching from Vimeo, and my temple will be a Baguzhang training hall as well.
The quality of Heaven or Qian trigram is that of pinnacle “yang” with all attributions in fullest concentrate. These pinnacle qualities, or associations, are uncompromising strength, courage, power, creativity, and audacity. In the physical dimension and Chinese cultural context, these traits culminate into the Lion. The Lion is a fearless animal who has the full expectation of victory in every conflict. His commanding personality is one of absolute righteousness, albeit wrathful, and sometimes short-tempered. The Fu Dog funnels anger into his martial prowess.
Three yang lines represent the Heaven or Qian trigram of the I-Ching. The yang lines brimming with nothing but raw power and unlimited potential. If we break down the three lines to express the mind, and the upper and lower body of a human, we see someone who is fully committed and oozing confidence. Their upper and lower bodies primed for action. Ready to conquer whatever comes their way.
Such is the expression of the Lion.
Heaven trigram
The military strategy of the Lion is uncomplicated. He believes might makes right, as the Lion is without peer regarding physical strength, and tenacity. The Lion’s martial methodology is simple; utterly dominate the enemy. Lion seeks to hook, catch, or seize in order the brutalize his enemy, break bones, dislocation joints, separate muscle from bone, and tear the skin. Lion invades and occupies his enemy’s space, controlling their balance, and giving them no quarter, no time for rest, or recompose themselves. He is ruthless and relentless.
The Lion is extremely heavy handed. He utilizes headbutts, elbows, and knees to punish his adversaries at close range further. Employing low kicks and crushing stomps he looks to pulverize the structure of the opponent, dismantle their knees and injure their feet. Lion likes quick, powerful sweep kicks, hooking his enemy’s ankle and bring them to the floor. Lion is prone to wrestling, throws, and slams. While grappling, the Lion is not hunting for submissions in the “sports application” sense, but rather incapacitation. Snap not “tap.” His ferocity often rattles enemies. Puffed up “tough guy” agonists and hired muscle quickly assume quivering fetal positions to survive Lion’s startling and appalling talent for violence, isn't that right Michael Aquino? Your Black Knights are an absolute fucking joke. I chewed on David Rockefeller for months before I spit him out. Your rotten pedophile ass is not long for this world.
If the above did not fully encapsulate Lion’s aggressiveness, his fondness for grasping and manipulating his enemy’s head might be the Lion’s most fearsome application. The Lion is frequently depicted demonstrating stewardship of a ball. The ball is, in a sense, the entire world. In martial use, a person’s head is essentially their whole world. Through the violent, and sudden grasping, seizing, or turning of a person’s head, their senses become scattered. Their strategies lost in a jumble of confusion and fear as their world is, quite literally, turned upside down.
Holding the Lion upper body shape, while integrating it with circle walking, creates a heady blood-oxygen mix forcing circulation up into the elevated hands from the legs (placed under duress) stimulates all major energy channels. Energy is cycled up and down through the central channel (macrocosmic orbit) resulting in denser bones, stronger muscles, and more durable tendons.
A decent example of the Lion posture
The Lion shape, also known as “holding the ball” (mimics holding a ball between both hands) has another remarkable energetic effect: a field within a field. A person’s body emits an aura or field of energy, surrounding the physical body. The bigger and brighter a person’s aura, the healthier the person tends to be. The Fu Dog or Holding the Ball shape, creates another more condensed field (inside the primary area), between the person’s palms. A polaric yin/yang energy construct. In the Lion shape, because the hands held near or above the chest and head, the person’s brain, heart, and lungs fall within the radius of the energetic ball. Thereby all areas mentioned above gain even further dynamic enhancements.
In the spiritual dimension, practicing the Lion calls forth the immense protective and fortuitous attentions of this rough but righteous spiritual creature. The upper body shape is both a specific frequency and transmitter, while the duress in the legs acts as the power to broadcast said particular frequency. Daoist circle walking creates a portal, by defining the radius of the wuji or void, within the physical world. Holding the Lion shape and meditating on its qualities, entices the Lion spirit to draw nearer and near, thereby making it aware of you, and placing yourself in its beneficent purvey.
Those who have found Lion’s favor (through sustained and committed practice) will discover that evil despises to be in their presence, their fortunes improve, and both ghosts and demons bow to their authority.

Zhen or the Thunder trigram expresses the energy and birth rite of the eldest son. Not quite the pinnacle of Yang energy his father (the Lion) is, but not far off. The eldest son possesses the elemental attributes of wood, bursting power like how a tree root breaks through concrete and lighting (twin to Thunder) which is sudden and disheartening. Eldest son has excellent strength but of the tensile variety and a high degree of both movement and fighting skill which feeds his well-deserved sense of superiority and arrogance.
In the physical dimension, and in Chinese cultural context, these traits culminate into the Dragon. The Dragon is a smug and aloof creature who, due to his prowess, delights in the inevitable defeat of his enemies. Dragon's brash personality reflects the self-entitlement of being the firstborn son, and thereby rightful inheritor of his father's estates. Fear of being denied his birth rite makes Dragon an exceptionally ruthless and uncommonly violent opponent.
Thunder trigram
The Zhen or Thunder trigram of the I-Ching is represented by two yin lines supported by one yang line. Comparing Thunder trigram to a human body, the upper yin line expresses a mind open to all possibilities, the middle yin shows an upper body capable of free and flowing movements; finally, the bottom yang line reflects a lower body with deep rootedness to the earth. The function of a chain whip is applicable here. The two yin lines make up the deadly, highly flexible chain tail while the yang line is the whip's handle, firmly held in a robust and steady hand, directing the chain whip's wraith.
Other considerations are implicit within the comparison between Thunder trigram and a human body. The first is the nature of the trigram's movement. Is the heavy yang hanging down from a yin chain? Or is the Yin chain being forcefully expelled up and away from a yang platform? In the Dragon's body, it is paradoxically and simultaneously both. Dragon has the feeling of both a solid iron ball hanging from a steel chain and a wispy line of smoke rising up from an incense stick.
The invisible middle pillar of the Thunder trigram can be seen as the spine flanked by ribs. Dragon teaches how to develop a backbone so supple one might think it was made of air, also reminding us it is the body which primarily rotates around the spinal column, not the spine doing the bending or twisting. The hollow central channel relates to condensing energy into the bones and running currents of energy up and down the primary channel to leap higher, become heavier or appear to grow bigger or smaller, and other highly esoteric talents.
Dragon's military strategy is brutal but sophisticated. Dragon believes he is entitled to winning due to his mastery of tendon strength, fighting ability and movement. He enjoys dismantling and demoralizing his foes, utilizing combinations of high and low attacks to startle opponents. Dragon flows between his enemy's defenses, coiling around and entrapping their limbs. He makes use of short-range palm, elbow, wrist, and knee strikes in addition to clawing and finger thrusting techniques. Dragon's whip-like arms mean attacks can come from any direction making him very difficult to defend against.
Dragon enjoys wrestling, limb seizing, and throwing techniques almost as much as his father and like his father, Dragon makes use of "roll the ball." But unlike his father, it is not strength which overwhelms his enemies but a sinuous movement. Dragon brings hurt to his foes with every bodily fluctuation while opponents are left attempting to wrestle a ghost, finding void space where they attack.
Like his father, Dragon is heavy-handed, seeking to pulverize his enemy's arms and legs. Attacking their strikes as a counter to them, before advancing to destroy the body. Where Lion provokes attacks, Dragon is a master counter-attacker and welcomes his opponent's foolish attack. Dragon utilizes the same foot stomps and low-level kicking to the groin and knees as his father, but as part of counters and combinations.
Dragon's ruthlessness is seen in how he, like the monkey, believes eyes, ears, temples, nose, throat, back of the head and groin are viable targets to be struck, or potentially ripped off or torn open during a grapple. Dragon changes stance with frightening speed. Boxers (western and kick), as well as MMA fighters, have conceded fights after being hit by me, full force, on the side or back of the head. They realized I could bypass their guard and attack flank or rear with ease. Losing just fight was the least of their concerns.
A very good example of the Dragon shape.
Holding the Dragon shape, while integrating it with circle walking, creates a robust blood-oxygen mix, circulating blood and energy throughout the major channels but in particular the liver, giving benefit to the eyes, and sending energy from the heart to the palms of the hand.
Ironically while Lion favors the rolling the ball martial technique more than Dragon, it is the Dragon shape which is better suited to developing the energy ball qigong practice, as the Dragon shape strengthens the heart to hand energy current, making each hand a magnetic yin/yang polarity towards the other. Rolling the Ball Qigong (mimics holding a ball between the palms of hands), has the effect of creating a secondary energy field with an already existing field.
This additional energy field within your aura (body's energy field) strengthens and repairs the primary field by correcting the body's internal energetic imbalances. The bigger and brighter a person's aura, the healthier a person tends to be.
As the Dragon's upper body is far more fluid than Lion's, the location of the energy ball can be moved as well as made larger, increasing the number of body organs benefited by being within its radius, or smaller, focusing on fewer organs for specialized healing.
In the spiritual dimension, practicing the Dragon summons forth supreme confidence and courage as well as the fortuitous attention of this often haughty but immensely formidable creature. The upper body shape is both a specific frequency and transmitter, while the duress in the legs acts as the power to broadcast said particular frequency. Daoist circle walking creates a portal, by defining the radius of the wuji or void within the physical world. Holding the Dragon shape and meditating on its qualities while circle waking, entices the Dragon spirit to draw near, thereby making it aware of you, and placing yourself in its amazing purvey.
Those who have found Dragon's favor (through sustained and committed practice) will discover that their enemies will fear them, they will find themselves stumbling into high positions of authority, experience notable increases of both good luck and health, lastly both demons and ghosts will timidly approach seeking employment.
