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.

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).

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.
