I began working on this some years ago under the title KaoTao, available from IOT Books (http://www.iotbooks.com/). The work was never completed.
This Blog will be used as a sounding board as these methods, rituals, meditations and philosophies are developed and refined. Consider this a sneak preview, an inside look at the development of the XaoTao, the complete revised and expanded edition of KaoTao.Frater Tzu Janhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09245040949670575379noreply@blogger.comBlogger130125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962793809307240488.post-55923400703188192262011-07-02T09:10:00.009-04:002011-07-03T11:35:31.447-04:00The Hermetic Walk of Seven Monks<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUQ6iTi41-lH36rb5q_VxfP89YfjpqnU1vsaHdlMJs-ZhvQFTsM1hiZF_IGEWvVdmtgr9Hx7_6hwlWWDbB9v514BZ3BWIr6SLRB1LhZxmDj345Q5G-lU6gcQgICY4S513jLkh-wCeT5WA/s1600/Hermit.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUQ6iTi41-lH36rb5q_VxfP89YfjpqnU1vsaHdlMJs-ZhvQFTsM1hiZF_IGEWvVdmtgr9Hx7_6hwlWWDbB9v514BZ3BWIr6SLRB1LhZxmDj345Q5G-lU6gcQgICY4S513jLkh-wCeT5WA/s320/Hermit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625149983405800914" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;">Last night seven monks gathered at the Tzu Jan Temple in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains on the auspicious first night of the Saros 156 cycle. The partial solar eclipse on this day marked the beginning of a cycle of eclipses lasting 12 to 13 centuries. It is possible that the seven monks will continue on their journeys until July 14th, 3237; if not together then as independents.

The spirits of several peoples were infused, to include the great oceanic squids, Godzilla and Thanateros. They had traveled from great distances to be with one another on this night and made merry within a sacred circle drawn by the seven. The monks drew five points of light and sound from within themselves and placed them at the four sacred corners of the world. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span">This done, the seven monks lit their lanterns and walked into the wilderness. A few townspeople saw them enter the wilds in the darkness of night. Such was the intensity of their focus and presence that none dared to stop and ask why these monks were leaving. The monks themselves kept the true nature of their purpose close to their hearts, with many intimations shared only with one another, but none speaking the true purpose aloud, even among themselves. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span">The chi was such on this night that the moment they were out of the artificial light and under the canopy of trees shaded even from starlight they were pulled headlong and with great speed into the sacred cool, damp, darkness of the wild. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span">One monk asked, "What are we to learn?" </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Answer: "Enlightenment"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Monk: "Isn't enlightenment a rather selfish goal?"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Answer: "As your enlightenment increases so does that of the world"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Monk: "And what enlightenment exactly?"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Answer: "That of Nature"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Monk: "Internal nature or external?"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Answer: "Is there a difference?"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span">To be cont.</span></div>Frater Tzu Janhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09245040949670575379noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962793809307240488.post-58129815355936806292011-06-27T23:11:00.002-04:002011-06-27T23:20:17.026-04:00Dietary Monasticism IIThe whole world shifts in vibrant jiggling colors and kaleidoscopic vomit illuminations. <div><br /></div><div>I have become an obsessive calorie counter. Yes yes, I know the quality of the food and all that counts more, but I am finding that the only way to keep that edge of hunger on me that is so beneficial to mental states a acuity, is to obsessively count the calories until they are low. I am trying to not go over 1480. This has caused me to desire higher quality food, as there is such a difference in digestion and the energy the food is eventually transformed into. Very much like putting crappy water downed gas in your car vs the good stuff. You may not notice going to the store, but over the long haul, you notice better stamina and longer performance. ;) and yes if you were thinking.... yes that too :).</div><div><br /></div><div>I am getting used to this edge of hunger.

This trigram is very easy to move within, but very hard to move from. I would recommend if movement through the eight is more controlled that the practitioner save Qian for last. This is not a bad thing. It is simply that the lessons are a bit intense, as one would expect. </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">If I am to be Tzu Jan, there are several things that I must see to. First I must develop my diet to suit my body. I have severe GERD. I suffer from this on a daily basis and without medication it is intolerable. So it must be that my diet is not Tzu Jan for me. I must find that naturalness so that my body does not have conflict and turmoil. What is pain, but internal imbalance and conflict? Ugh, I am not looking forward to this potentially permanent monasticism. At least the outset of it. </font></p> Frater Tzu Janhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09245040949670575379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962793809307240488.post-22222133201656545662011-04-25T16:58:00.001-04:002011-04-25T16:59:38.686-04:00Big Poplar Two Wand Eight Mile Ritual Walk<ol> <li> <div align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Find an 7-8 mile circular trail</font></div> </li> <li> <div align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Obtain two wands</font></div> </li> <ul> <li> <div align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Either before or during the first mile of the walk</font></div> </li> <li> <div align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Select wands of relatively equal size and strength</font></div> </li> </ul> <li> <div align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Cary one wand in the left and and one in the right</font></div> </li> <li> <div align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Walk</font></div> </li> <li> <div align="justify"><font face="Courier New">When you come full circle break the wands while pointing the broken ends toward the chest</font></div> </li> <li> <div align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Dispose of the wand waste </font></div> </li> </ol> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Results from this ritual walk were strange and powerful.

It must have no restriction. When this is done; when sexual desire and direction is allowed to run its course, you, those around you and those you direct your energy toward will heal.  </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Often this involves allowing oneself to fully experience the intensity of fear, anxiety, jealousy and possessiveness. Doing this, the flow of chi permeates existence. As creation itself is an act of sexual motion. Creation itself is a manifestation of the union and consummation of all of existence. </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">It is the energy, not necessarily the ACT.  We must not let the purity of this energy be confused with lust. Lust can be utilized to achieve the opposite result. But that is another topic. </font></p> Frater Tzu Janhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09245040949670575379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962793809307240488.post-81524921800714490362011-04-17T23:07:00.001-04:002011-04-17T23:14:41.792-04:00Xun<p align="justify"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/91/228486914_70244b0dc6.jpg" width="274" height="274" /></p> <p align="justify"><b><u><font face="Courier New"></font></u></b></p> <p align="justify"><i><font face="Courier New">Jan Fries</font></i></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Wind and Wood</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Gentle penetration</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Breath (chi perhaps)</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Early summer </font></p> <p align="justify"><i><font face="Courier New">Master Alfred Huang</font></i></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Sequence of the gua: “When the traveler has no place to take shelter, Proceeding Humbly follows.” </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">The wind blowing gently moves in and out of trees, rustles leaves, and cools the skin. It penetrates into the very soul of emotional response. Blow the candles on your altar out gently, lest you spray wax all over. In the same way the wind if too strong breaks branches, tears things up and chases people indoors. It is the same with wood. If one tries to thrust a sharpened pole into the ground it will only go so far. On the other hand, the gentle growth of a root can penetrate deep into the earth, even breaking through layers of rock. </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Commentary on the decision: “…The firm proceeds humbly to the central position. Its will is able to be fulfilled.” </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">I had associated this previously with Orange magicks. Perhaps revisit in consideration of this new “…Central position…Will is…fulfilled” bit. Now, thinking Octarine. However humble and gentle aids in making friends, this influential aspect may be somewhat like a Taoist yellow or green. This does bode well with the Green. I am leaning in this direction, heavily now. Gentle penetration will ultimately aid tremendously in the acquisition of allies. The debate here for me is really between Octarine and Green. </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Upon further examination and meditation I begin to realize the ones octarine hexagram must be chosen or discovered, just as the color octarine itself. This will of course shift all of the trigrams. I think that I and my readers are going to have to be happy with the disclaimer that this particular i-ching colors of magick layover is a personal interpretation and must be discovered individually. For instance Xun feels exceptionally Green to me. When thinking of my personal Octarine I can only see Gen, the Mountain, keeping still. </font></p> <p align="justify"><i><font face="Courier New">Thomas Cleary </font></i></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Really starts off with this idea of Sun Green. He describes the traveler with no companions needing to harness the ability to acquire trust and develop familiarity relatively quickly in order to find shelter. This ability is a direct result of being adaptable. He also repeats this idea that it is beneficial to see great people, which I am just picking up on. Of course, should I be acting strongly in my influential personality traits, great and influential people would be a benefit to meet. </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">I will have to get back to the Wilhelm works. </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Total after thought.

I am assured by all synaptic firing that if I had known it I most certainly do not know it now. And this knowledge, this perfect flawless knowledge is correct.  If I could adequately express the emotion of laughter, that laughter that pervades all things and expresses all things I would. But my language skills are lacking. formal education does not prepare one for Samadhic experience of daily living. </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Why today, why now? Your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps exorcise and drink combined with a sense that I do good in the world on a daily basis (or at the very least try). I am vibrating now with the experience of my child running through the house. Not just aware of it, but experiencing it. I would almost expect to have these types of revelations should I be taking acid or otherwise be under the influence of ecstasy or some other illuminatory enhancing drug. But I am not.  </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Interesting that my first compulsion while experiencing this was to write, to become a vessel for transcription. Such is my lot I suppose. </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">I write now from a spontaneous moment of real life gnosis. No chemical induction, no ritually enhanced state of mind. just me, my experience of my family and the sublime experience of perfection. “I need my blue car” my son sais, reminding me of Jim Morrison's “blue bus” </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">Ahh, these things we are. and I with no new reading, no new methods, no new magickal revelation to bring to the table. Yet, I stumble into this brilliant light I call the illumination of my own personal existence, without the history, mythology, or myriad mystical kabalistic correlations. </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Courier New">I experience, play, laugh, tickle, am tickled, express awe at a vision I have had a thousand times, repeat repeat repeat, then vegetate on some show specifically designed to numb the thought process, and it does. and I ease into hypnotic sleep.

As these classes have become more refined I have been slipping into gnosis a bit during the meditations. I have felt that I needed to be careful and pull back a bit as gnosis gets deeper. However, I have also noticed that as my gnosis gets deeper the class gets calmer.

How should this be? I dedicate myself to the Sun, wash myself in the Light, anoint myself healer of the sick, and I fall headlong into the darkness. I dramatize of course, it’s not near as bad as all that. </span></p> <p align="justify"><span>With my recent planetary shift I knew that I would need to move my main altar to the East. I have traditionally kept my personal altar in the West. There is a Yin Yang principle at play in this. The Western Altar faces East and the Eastern Altar faces West. So now I find myself facing East. The Altar facing West, and the Western Wall of my Temple was empty. Like a black hole, it began to suck in all light, becoming plugged only by those things in my possession that were too dark to count for light, those things that were in fact of Death. </span></p> <p align="justify"><span>The Eastern Border of my Temple piled higher and higher. It has been many years since I have uncovered so many of my magickal items at one time. The Light shines on all things. And I open myself to the elements. The West, by contrast, reflects the Shadow cast by the Altar in the East. This shadow collapses in on itself. </span></p> <p align="justify"><span>There seems little need, ironically, for much discussion of the East and my new placement in the influence of Sol. Except to say that my prior work was exceedingly successful. However, this desire to heal others has turned on me. Apparently this ability is strongly knotted with the healing of one’s Self. It is indeed hard to pluck a splinter from your brothers eye when you have a log in your own. The strength of the Light when working from the Sun also tends to highlight one’s own personal flaws. If I may utilize redundancy with that last sentence to further illustrate my point!</span></p> <p align="justify"><span>Forgive me. I believe that the warmth of the slippers on my feet and the warmth of the wine in my belly are influencing my writing. </span></p> <p align="justify"><span>When you fully embrace the Solar magicks, not just utilize the Sun, but enter the Sun, and your work is the Light from the Sun, you yourself become darkness. If you project pure light, then what is left is darkness. That is not fully accurate. What is left is a darkness that is only dark due to the speed with which light moves through and out of it’s center. The core of the sun is pure darkness. Much in the way that the core of a black hole is in fact a Sun. The same as Yang holds the seed of Yin and the Yin holds the seed of Yang. </span></p> <p align="justify"><span>Now that I have moved past Pluto, through Mercury and am deeply embedded in the Sun, I find myself connected back to Pluto. Though only a countercharge, it has been an unexpected result. And this my Temple and my soul reflects. </span></p> <p align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlBOXf-guB4dD0PkJhQQOedYS2_w4Su_PllTdTCbV6f2oArv4YC0tRgLtNqxrLEqOO8ZFdC-JLFdvbQQiW6RULm1YhWFjS-kOr9KjKDASOjyy5qOD_FRbLlFgLbUgdrzL4mu0xUPoQi3I/s1600-h/IMG00192-20101226-1806%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" title="IMG00192-20101226-1806" alt="IMG00192-20101226-1806" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs8jhhFh-OUOEOzYoXeflnQXlCJM21QIT8e9jWOnrIMJFc9zXcyoQdwAo2D-wKh1tN7hhrB1sFlIil1cJTAg9s8507MIjxVpaTdRCk4pkfYaplO4o77pn_K2vhNTe8q931NfKxEJEZOgg/?imgmax=800" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>Frater Tzu Janhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09245040949670575379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962793809307240488.post-43570260680397292102010-12-04T21:41:00.003-05:002010-12-05T20:30:49.405-05:00Nonlocal Exorcism with Solar Influx<p><span class="Apple-style-span">To begin I feel I should both apologize to and applaud recent participants in my rituals. To explain, a large aspect of my recent rituals has been that of spontaneity. The Chinese word that I took my Frater name from, Tzu Jan, literally translates as spontaneity. I have used this as the basis for rituals in the past, but recently this has become almost the rule of rituals that I present. The method of presentation quite literally has been, "This is the intent of the work we will do, these are the symbols, mythologies, and often my own personal opinions and interpretations that we will be utilizing. Now, this is what might happen, this is what I may be doing. Knowing these things do what you feel like you need to do." So I have asked allot of participating magickans. I have asked for their ability to act in the best possible manner during rituals, without allot of guidance. I have asked that participants be magickians, not participants. And without exception one and all have risen to and exceeded expectation. </span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span">The following ritual was no exception and in many ways much more dangerous that what I have asked of magickians in the past. </span></p><p><b><span class="Apple-style-span">Nonlocal Exorcism with Solar Influx</span></b></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span">I work at a Psychiatric hospital with severely psychotic individuals. I have noticed over the past few months that there seems to be a particular energy or type of psychosis that afflicts older black women. I have been working with one particular individual who has been afflicted with a particularly vile concentration of this. I have been considering an exorcism ritual for quite sometime. Knowing that this is not a working that could be accomplished in one working, thus this was a layered working. Also the exorcism certainly could not be performed with the individual at the hospital, not by any of my personal methods at any rate. So it also had to be performed nonlocally. </span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span">I have done some much lighter versions of this with other individuals. When an individual gives me something (i.e. drawings, handwritten notes, pieces of trash, packets of spice, crayons etc.) I have placed them on my altar for a period of time, said daily prayers over them and then burned them. 2 of the 3 individuals that I have done this with have been discharged from the hospital and not returned. The severity of this case and a couple of others has upped the ante.</span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span">The day of the ritual the individual OM gave me two tootsie rolls. These I used as sacrament for those who were willing to partake. On that day as well, another individual asked that I pray for her. There was a heavy emotional charge during this day. Two women broke into tears and required immediate attention from myself and another co-worker. Later both of those women broke into spontaneous worship and revival style prayer. </span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span">The basic intent was to exorcise the demons of psychosis, enhance my personal ability to exorcise demons and heal by my presence and desire open-handedly also to move fully into the sphere of Sol in my astronomical macro-microcosmic work and to use this shift to enhance all of above stated intent. </span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span">The ritual: </span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span">Set up involved placement of a single candle, incense, a sigil, small altar and the cut tootsie rolls in the center of the room. Chanting took the form of glossolalia. Instruction involved my telling the participants that I would be drawing from solar powers, exorcising the demons described above and to chant and do what they felt necessary. There was a warning and informed consent concerning the nature of what we would be dealing with. Aside from this there was allot of discussion but little instruction. </span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span">Once the chanting had begun I handed out the sacrament to those willing. I then set to work clearing Mercury form my mirror and drawing in Sol. When I turned back to the circle I went into full chant and went straight to the hospital. There I performed all of the ritual acts that I have wanted to perform at work but have been unable to. I dealt very heavily with OM's exorcism but then, contrary to plan, ended up being flooded by others. So, very much like I do at work, I dealt with these "demons" as they came. In the end I centered myself on the unit that I was focusing on and allowed the solar energy to build within me until it exploded from me saturating the hospital and vaporizing this demon psychosis in its path. </span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span">I don't think I speak for myself when I say I was utterly exhausted after the ritual had been completed. Frater Usul wisely suggested another banishing be performed. </span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span">Following ritual work did tend to energize me and I have felt quite well since. Of course more will be known concerning results over the next few weeks at work. </span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span">Prior work by Frater Usul, dealing with the throat chakra and communication blended well with my personal work of the evening. Further result from this chakra work have manifested in interpersonal dealings not appropriate to put in this medium. However, suffice it to say that there have been positive results from this work. </span></p>Frater Tzu Janhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09245040949670575379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962793809307240488.post-63760935958612186372010-11-15T12:17:00.000-05:002010-11-15T12:17:07.553-05:00sigil vid 1.wmv<object style="background-image:url(http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/ISrGFWFC6oc/hqdefault.jpg)" width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ISrGFWFC6oc?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ISrGFWFC6oc?fs=1&hl=en_US" width="425" height="344" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>Frater Tzu Janhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09245040949670575379noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962793809307240488.post-56765488798304424682010-08-18T22:15:00.001-04:002010-08-18T22:15:39.964-04:00Yi<p align="justify"><font face="cou">Dealing with a few things. 1) Motion toward Solar work 2) Job 3) My place in the Tao.</font></p> <p align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiURofA2gpEWYeTJt-LTKx7AsetAxltNBkHQbP-EfL8i6retr9SYRd0OI6M7dGdJGFGYXc5vT-vlJVBC66KHMaj2I8yWlnniNWl74Jp6ygm5vy-fBy1rQnbycqikgiTn6BOoYvM7Jz2l-Y/s1600-h/hexagram-42-Yi.svg%5B12%5D.png"><font color="#cccccc" face="cou"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="hexagram-42-Yi.svg" border="0" alt="hexagram-42-Yi.svg" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOJMQ7pmy8E4XEzegJ4qXlkq7TLUO7F4YPdIR-fGgXQSFwwBlpqwwjLi68l8XduGHTd0EOzDq7n4fDwuDuuE4UDeAOGdnOjvBV4hOkLRXSugt-4klgDTznaVPpQcjiNZiSV4DW6mIgAgc/?imgmax=800" width="302" height="302" /></font></a></p> <p align="justify"><font face="cou">So my decreasing draws to close.

During <em>Xuánwǔ's</em> study to achieve enlightenment and god status he was told that in order to fully achieve god status, he must purge all <em>humanly</em> flesh from his body. Since he was born he had been eating the food of the world, humanly food, therefore his stomach and intestines were still human. Legend told of an event that a god came and <em>changed</em> out his human stomach and intestines for a godly body so he could fully achieve god status. (It was also said that the stomach and intestines that were tossed out became the "Tortoise Mountain" and "Snake Mountain".) The stomach and intestines taken out by the god who did the surgery on <em>Xuánwǔ</em> were said to have taken on the shape of a tortoise (stomach) and a snake (intestines). As many Chinese legends speak of certain animals becoming demons over time as they gain knowledge, that's what the tortoise and snake became, and terrorized people. As <em>Xuánwǔ</em>, now in his god status, heard of this, he came and slayed <em>the demons from his past</em>. However, he did not kill them, as the snake and tortoise demons showed remorse. He let them train under him and atone for their wrong doings, and they became the "Tortoise General" and "Snake General", and they assisted <em>Xuánwǔ</em> with his quests.</p><p class="root">According to another source, once <em>Xuánwǔ's</em> had begun study of the way, he discovered that he must purge himself of all his past sins to become a god. He learned to achieve this by washing his stomach and bowels (intestines) in the river. In the washing of his internal organs, his sins melted from them and into the river in a dark, black form. These then formed into a black tortoise and snake who terrorized the people. Once <em>Xuánwǔ</em> learned of this, he returned to conquer the forms of this past sins and subdue them under himself and they became his servants.</p><p class="root">-----------------------------------------------------------FROM----<a href="http://wapedia.mobi/en/Black_Tortoise">http://wapedia.mobi/en/Black_Tortoise</a></p></span><p></p>Frater Tzu Janhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09245040949670575379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962793809307240488.post-69772657722061723072010-02-17T21:53:00.000-05:002010-02-17T21:56:31.671-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsMnDFnAvraFp53AaUld8KTbF3nxZFMzmYRnejh1ZbEYInKChPFA6T-V10H71gMMEhfiQsxO4dRZNHdYMh9FeO3l1etpoXONbXqhlf_20_SQKtSG1sbczQctYfV_W6RmrU7-GMrEcNrG4/s1600-h/Wudanghshan-Xuanwu-in-Beijing-Capital-Museum-3796.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 276px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsMnDFnAvraFp53AaUld8KTbF3nxZFMzmYRnejh1ZbEYInKChPFA6T-V10H71gMMEhfiQsxO4dRZNHdYMh9FeO3l1etpoXONbXqhlf_20_SQKtSG1sbczQctYfV_W6RmrU7-GMrEcNrG4/s320/Wudanghshan-Xuanwu-in-Beijing-Capital-Museum-3796.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439411503231108546" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Xuan Wu.

It doesn't even matter at this point. It is a designated point of nothingness, the closest we have within our solar system to that moment before the big bang.
