Unification of energy

Description:

During this stage the natural fire of reality operates to burn away residual conditioning in order to recover the state in which there is no discriminatory knowledge. This is frequently symbolized by the "pregnancy" of the practitioner with a spiritual "embryo" that becomes imbued with spiritual energy. Both things and self are experienced as empty. There is a sublimation of the duality of firmness and flexibility. In this state of absence of discrimination or knowledge, the spirit is unified, objects disappear. It is a profound trance without differentiation, entering from doing into not-doing. The term "embryo" is used to describe true awareness become solidified, stabilized and free from habitual scattering.

Context:

The sixth of seven stages of the Taoist alchemical firing process through which reality is cultivated and the self is restored.<

About the Encyclopedia

The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential is a unique, experimental research work of the Union of International Associations. It is currently published as a searchable online platform with profiles of world problems, action strategies, and human values that are interlinked in novel and innovative ways. These connections are based on a range of relationships such as broader and narrower scope, aggravation, relatedness and more. By concentrating on these links and relationships, the Encyclopedia is uniquely positioned to bring focus to the complex and expansive sphere of global issues and their interconnected nature.

The initial content for the Encyclopedia was seeded from UIA’s Yearbook of International Organizations. UIA’s decades of collected data on the enormous variety of association life provided a broad initial perspective on the myriad problems of humanity. Recognizing that international associations are generally confronting world problems and developing action strategies based on particular values, the initial content was based on the descriptions, aims, titles and profiles of international associations.
