Flight is not escape! It is the resonance of one who merges the three realms—spirit, heaven, and earth—while weaving together the dimensions of meditation, dreams, and embodied life.
At Level 8, the practitioner transcends the sealing of the five senses and enters the Congress of Heaven and Earth through the awakening and unification of the Nine Cauldrons. Spirit flight begins—not as a metaphor, but as a lived energetic transformation. The body-mind dissolves and rides the flame of Li, while Kan becomes the sky-road of heaven. The adept becomes a citizen of the cosmic order, preparing to merge Heaven and Earth within their own being.
Each Cauldron reveals a layer of spiritual cosmology and energetic refinement. Through the abdominal, heart, and cranial cauldrons, the physical form is transmuted, and the spirits and souls are unified in the blessing of the Great White Light. The seven senses are trained—not only to perceive the spiritual realm—but ultimately to dissolve into it.
The Energy Body Cauldron initiates movement beyond the physical: an astral chariot, a subtle transport field.
The Earth Cauldron unifies all cultures, beings, elements, and spiritual traditions into a single planetary soul—Gaia, or Hou Tu (后土), the Taoist Empress of the Earth.
At the Solar System Cauldron, centred on Saturn, consciousness expands to solar scale. Sage-like wisdom dawns; the adept assumes a godlike vantage of discernment and compassionate authority.
The Cauldron of the South Celestial Pole, aligned with the Southern Cross, cultivates True Yin—the cosmic abbess veiled in mystery, receptive as divine eros, open herself to the highest celestial love.
At Polaris, the North Star Cauldron receives the luminous seed of True Yang—the Great White Light and divine fire descending from the Three Pure Ones. It integrates the entire starry vault, each constellation a legend, a teaching, a spark of divine medicine.
As all these cauldrons merge into a single alchemical unity, the Final Cauldron is born—not located in space, though often felt at the third eye or within the Crystal Palace. From the clouds of Li arises the spirit vehicle—phoenix, dragon, crane, or flying carpet—conveying the adept through the ecstatic dimensions of eternal flight. These eternal realms are not fixed heavens but the transfiguration of Kan, the watery clouds, now imbued with all of self.
In this state, consciousness dissolves into the Mysterious Pass, where time, self, and object vanish. The House of Kanbecomes the sky-soil of heavenly memory and the divine unfolding of identity. Spirit flight is not mere elevation—it is immersion into cosmic union, the sacred moment when Heaven enters Earth and Earth enters Heaven. This is an erotic, loving land knowing congress, the ecstatic prelude to dissolution.
It is the timeless repose that fulfills the soul with such ecstasy, that at the destined place, the spirit willingly offers itself to the Great Unknown—Level 9: The Reunion of Heaven and Humanity.
