Darkness Technology

All spiritual traditions have used Darkness Techniques in the pursuit

of enlightenment. In Europe, the dark room often appeared in under-

ground form as a network of tunnels, in Egypt as the Pyramids, in

Rome as the catacombs, and by the Essenes, near the Dead Sea in

Israel, as caves. In the Taoist tradition caves have been used through-

out the ages for higher level practices. In the Tao, the cave, the

Immortal Mountain, the Wu San, represents the Perfect Inner Al-

chemy Chamber. Meditating and fasting in the cave is the final jour-

ney of spiritual work. The caves are the Earth Mother and its energy

lines. Like the hollow bones, caves contain the earliest information

of life stored inside the Earth. Caves contain the vital essence of the

Earth Power. The Tao says: ‘When you go into the dark and this

becomes total, the Darkness soon turns into light.’

In the Darkness, our mind and soul begin to wander freely in the

vast realms of psychic and spiritual experience. When you enter this

primordial state or force you are reunited with the true self and divin-

ity within. You literally ‘conduct’ the universal energy. You may see

into the past and future, understand the true meaning of existence,

and begin to understand the order of things. You return to the womb,

the cocoon of our material structure and Nature’s original Darkness.

Complete darkness profoundly changes the sensory sensibilities

of the body/brain. We are deprived of all visual reference. Sounds

begin to fall away as we lose contact with the external world and

turn the senses inward. The effect of darkness is to shut down ma-

jor cortical centers in the brain, depressing mental and cognitive

functions in the higher brain centers. Emotional and feeling states

are enhanced, especially the sense of smell and the finer senses of

psychic perception. Dreams become more lucid, and the dream state

manifests in our conscious awareness. Eventually, we awaken within

ourselves the awareness of the Source, the spirit, the soul. We de-

scend into the void, into the darkness of deep, inner space.

Darkness activates the deepest centers within the brain, the glands

of the Crystal Palace, establishing a connection with the Original

Source, the Wu Chi (Fig. 1). The pineal gland connects us to the

Universal Energy. From the hypothalamus gland, we project our

soul or spirit upwards, and receive the descending Universal En-

ergy. The pituitary gland receives the Cosmic Force, used to launch

the spirit bodies into the earthly or human plane for traveling.

They include the pineal, hypothalamus, thalamus, and pituitary glands.

The darkness actualizes successively higher states of divine con-

sciousness, correlating with the synthesis and accumulation of psy-

chedelic chemicals in the brain. Melatonin, a regulatory hormone,

quiets the body and mind in preparation for the finer and subtler

realities of higher consciousness (Days 1 to 3). Pinoline, affecting

the neuro-transmitters of the brain, permits visions and dream-states

to emerge in our conscious awareness (Days 3 to 5). Eventually,

the brain synthesizes the “spirit molecules” 5-methoxy-dimethyl-

tryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) and dimethyltryptamine (DMT), facilitat-

ing the transcendental experiences of universal love and compas-

sion (Days 6 to 12) (Fig. 2).

the precursor for seratonin, melatonin, pinoline, 5-MeO-DMT,

and DMT molecules.

Universal Tao Darkness

Starting many years ago, Master Chia went in search of natural

caves suitable for meditation in absolute darkness, but none were

found. Master Chia and Juan Li spent one day in Wu San, the Taoist

Immortal Mountain, the most sacred of the Taoist power centers.

The cave was not, however, suitable for a dark room retreat. Tour-

ists were ever-present, and the stench of human urine and feces

was overpowering. They failed to find the true teaching. Other natu-

ral caves were explored, but all suffered some deficiency. The cave

environments were dirty and damp, and the air quality poor (dust,

fungi, bacteria, insects, snakes, etc.). The caves were dumping

grounds, repositories for human waste and garbage. The pristine

silence of the darkness was not to be found. Perhaps the perfect

cave is still hidden in some deep, high mountain.

Master Chia researched modern Darkness technologies for many

years. A pyramid at Tao Garden, northern Thailand, provided the

ground for early experiments in darkness retreats. He made visits to

darkness retreats in other countries, to gain insights on the best

designs for meditation and for comfort. Eventually, the Universal Tao

Darkness was constructed, based on all available information and

latest technologies. The facility is the perfect Inner Alchemy Cham-

ber, conducive to meditation and providing comforts and necessities

for up to 60 people. A large central meeting room is surrounded by

two tiers of living quarters. The light and sound proof outer sheath is

constructed of bricks made from the red earth of Thailand, preserv-

ing the earth elements of the original cave. The Mother Earth power

is retained in the modern structure.

The Tao Garden Darkness is enclosed and encased in a light

and sound-proof sheath. The building is constructed of bricks made

from the red earth of Thailand, containing all of the properties of

natural rock in a cave. The earth was mined and hydraulically

pressed into bricks, thus preserving the constituent elements and

minerals of the parent materials. The Mother Earth power is re-

tained in the modern structure.

The facility consists of a large, central meeting room for medita-

tion and for dining. Two tiers of bedrooms surround the central area,

each with private bath. The entire facility is ventilated with fresh air

intakes and air conditioning systems. Food is specially prepared to

meet the particular requirements of the body, mind, and spirit in at-

taining the goals of darkness enlightenment. Fresh juices and soups

are served for “breakfast” and a light organic meal is served in the

“afternoon”. (See: Darkness Nutrition p. 42). Participants are trained

and prepared for life in the dark (See: Darkness Preparations p. 39).

The Universal Tao Darkness is currently the largest and most

advanced Darkness meditation facility in the world. Aspiring to the

Tao, participants remain in utter and complete darkness for one,

two, or three weeks, a perfect laboratory for Inner Alchemy. The

spiritual knowledge gained by Taoist masters over the ages merges

and blends with the insights of 21 st century science and technology.
