Bath Cleansing with Taoist Magic is Not Simple

When it comes to using Taoist magic or any kind of magic to do a bath cleansing ritual, most people think that it is about getting yourself cleaner, or at least to get your energy cleaner, right? However, that’s not the case with all the “energy work” out there, including Taoist magic. 

When you are doing a “bath cleansing” ritual, you are not “cleaning up”!  You are actually putting something on top of you, soaking it into you, and making you blend together with this new element, be it clean or dirty, and there goes the “cleansing” effect. Simply said, if you use crap to bath, you turn out to be crap, if you use tomato to bath, you turn out to be tomato-alike. Therefore, what you put into your “bath cleansing” mix is going to make a huge difference for the result.

When you see Taoists like us use a FU talisman to bath – which usually involves burning the FU talisman into a bowl and adding water to the bowl, then use this water to mix into our bath-tub for a soaking session… do you know what is actually going on?

The FU Talisman itself can be good or bad, depending on who made it, where was it consecrated and even what was put into the FU Talismans. There are many different places that sell FU Talismans, but they are not consecrated, or some are consecrated at a very crappy altar, some even consecrated at a temple with a pool of dirty energy, who knows what is inside the FU Talisman when you buy it? You cannot see it, and there is no way to guarantee!  Therefore, if the FU Talisman is loaded up with harmful or negative energies, it can look very positive on the surface, but very harmful inside. 

When you bath with these FU water, you will get all dirty and bad luck will follow..!

Bath cleansing with FU Talisman is not always a good thing, it needs to be done with care, especially choosing what FU to use, where to get the FU Talisman, and such. Just like we have always said in our previous blog posts, a lot of FU Talismans that you can buy online is not as good as you think, and some are even loaded with crap inside because the people don’t know what they are doing!

To ensure your FU Talisman bath cleansing session is for sure getting you “clean” energy, good energy, you would like to have a way to guarantee that, and that is to learn the Taoist magic yourself, and have yourself master the FU work, then you can have your daily or weekly FU cleansing bath to make your body free of negative and harmful energies. Oh right, and you don’t have to pay for every bath too, how good is that?

What you put into the FU for the cleansing bath is guaranteed too, because you are the maker and you are the one who consecrated the FU, it can’t go wrong!  Get ordained today and start learning the real Taoist magic, it’s not that hard!

True Meaning of Tao Te You Don't Know

What is Tao Te really? When people say they have read the “Tao Te Ching”, most of them really don’t know what they are reading, because it’s very vague, and most importantly, very wrong. That’s right, most of the stuff you find on Tao Te Ching is garbage, because it leads you nowhere near what’s Taoism really is about, and it drives you to the cloud with nothing you can really grab in the air, because it’s wrong and misleading, then a bunch of people reheats the same pool of junks into new junks, and there goes the Tao Te Ching(s) today. Well, maybe it is time to take a look at what Tao Te really is about to see the difference between Taoism and “Taoism in the west”, shall we?

Tao Te is basically translated to “virtue” and it has nothing to do with Taoism on the surface, yet Taoism used this word Tao Te for a different and more specific meaning. To understand this, we need to know what is the Tao.  Let’s take a look at the lecture below to understand what is the Tao. If you like the text version, check out the article on my blog – what is Taoism 101.

After this video/blog post, you will now know what Tao and Tao Te is about. It does not lead you to anything vague and abstract at all.

Now, how is this related to Taoism or the Taoist magic stuff then?  Knowing the theory is cool, but how and where to apply it is what the westerners all don’t understand, and that is also why people came up with the “philosophical Taoism” category later on, because they don’t know how to apply these things, and that is why it is seen as a “philosophy” only. 

The truth is, this is 100% related to the practice we do in Taoism and Taoist magic. The Tao we talk about in Taoism is the Yuen Sun (spiritual planetary body) of ourselves, and so to cultivate the Tao, we learn and do things to get stuff from the yuen sun to energize our life here. The Te part of the cultivation is to give back to the Yuen Sun and replenish the Yuen Sun by shoving it with things we can accumulate in this world.

Tao Te of a Taoist is not about being nice to nature and being a good kid, it’s about cultivating to learn and work with your own life, your Yuen Sun, your pre and post heaven side of “you”. By cultivating the Tao, the Te, you will be able to get more potentials out of your own Yuen Sun to increase your opportunities and potentials here in this world. At the same time, you will be able to make sure the Yuen Sun have replenishments and have more for you to take in the future when you need because you have given back to it on your normal days.

A good relationship with your own Yuen Sun is the key to having a healthy and balanced life, which also ensures your after-death life to be secured and happy. We want to live well, and also die well, shouldn’t we?  Look at my video on the purpose of life, you might be shocked, Taoist does not aim to live long like those 200 years old human-jerky mummy!

Why Some FU Talismans Don't Work (Paper Talismans)

 

You can find people selling FU Talismans everywhere today, from eBay to websites and blogs, and most of the time it's nothing but decoration.  There is also a big site online that teach you how to make your "own" talismans, do you know how funny it looks to the real practitioners like us?  You might think that a FU Talisman is just working because you got the "graphics" right, you copied it from a book that looks "ancient" enough to be legit, and you believed it to work... and is that really the case?

I was teaching my disciples about how FU talisman work, and you will be amazed by the work that is required behind a piece of paper. A FU Talisman is just like a ticket, it draws power from a "power source" - which is the altar of the FU maker. Then it also connects the codes on the FU to the language source, just like how computer programming needs to connect to a certain database for the codes to make sense and work. If the person doing the FU does not connect the FU to the lineage that creates or have the codes in their system, then all the codes mean nothing to the power-source. Therefore, one should never just copy FU from here and there and use it.

In our lineage, we do not copy FU from anywhere, because we have our own coding system, our own language, and we have our own FU. If one is a true disciple and learned enough in the lineage, they will already know how the FU language works in our system, and there can be a FU created with the same language if we do need a new FU to be born. However, if you copy a FU from any random place, it makes no sense to our system, and the FU is not going to work because the language failed to connect and make sense.

Besides that, you can see the video below on how we consecrate the FU Talismans with our Taoist magic altar too. Is that something you can just come up with out of the blue?  FU Talismans that does not go through a proper consecration process will not have any power, because it is basically not linked to a power-house, like a cheque that links to Santa, it doesn't work. Your cheque must link to a bank, which in this case is the altar.

 

A Taoist altar for the Taoist magic practitioner is just like the computer of an IT, it's so important, and everything we make will need to connect to the altar like a power plant for the magic tools we use and create, later on, be it a FU Talisman, a sword, a pendant, whatever it is, we must connect them to the altar for the power.

At the end, you might want to watch another lecture and demo of how we consecrate a tool at the altar, using some easier methods for beginners. It's a lot of work behind things and a lot of knowledge behind all the steps and micro-details that we are doing to get things working. It's not simple, and that is why you should get ordained to learn this for real.

Fake FU Talismans Versus Real

 

  

 Got a bunch of Fake FU Talisman around, just to show you guys what it is like, and yes, they are all on the market today selling for cheap. You can buy these FU Talismans from places like eBay or TaoBao and they are often just $10 or less for a piece, do they really work or have ANY power in them at all?  I guess you already know the answer, but it is always good to hear from the professionals like me!  

There goes some real FU Talisman done by me!   Right, it's pretty, hand-drawn, stamped, and of course, consecrated with a powerful altar that we work on every day!  

What can you tell from the two? Fake FU Talismans are often printed - to save time and cost, and also to bulk-produce. The fake FU talismans are often not even stamped and with no authority or consecration at all.  At the end, if you do understand FU language and grammar, these FU talismans that are printed are often like aliens trying to write English, grammar is all out of place and they look funny to a real FU Talisman master like me, it just doesn't make sense. 

Don't even waste your time trying to FEEL the FU talisman with your hand and such, just remember that everything comes with a price, and no one will be willing to sell you a talisman for $10 if it cost them $500 worth of time. Get real!

Right, even the tools that we use for writing FU talismans will need a charge-up session before we start the work, check out a ceremony by Lui Sifu in NY!

The FU writing part requires a lot of skills, and there are tons of spells inside each stroke, which is to program the characters to do what they are supposed to do, and embed the magic power into them as we write. Then there is a bunch of overlapping symbols which is to be written in a special way to make sure the "engine" of the FU is installed properly for the FU to work.

After all that... you will need to go thru a FU Talisman consecration ceremony. Here is one by Wun Sifu in NY, showing you an intermediate version of it:

 

Here is mine, a lengthy one...

So after all these, you might think, why can people charge you just $10 for one if so much work is involved?  Wait a minute, that doesn't make sense!  Right, too good to be true?  Then it's a scam!  We do not let a FU Talisman go out our door without proper work done on it because it is our pride and we want our customer to have the best from us. Therefore, we offer FU Talismans that are done properly and charged up properly.  

Yes, we do offer some common FU Talismans that are charged for only $30 a piece, and they are for normal clients who want something more affordable. For the ones who need more dedicated help, we will offer them customized work or even a distanced ceremony. Some people don't understand why a distanced ceremony cost so much too, so I guess a YouTube video is needed!  Please keep in mind that your ceremony will require the use of FU Talismans, so there is the consecration ceremony first, and then prepping, empowering, THEN the final ceremony day which requires about 1-2 hours of work depending on the situation!

You will not want to do this for people if it is just for $10-50 because it cost your whole week of energy to do this, and you will need to replenish for a few days afterward. Our disciples who ordained in the lineage know about it as they start to learn and do it on their own. It's a lot of work!  Real FU Talisman and ceremony cost a lot because it does cost a lot for the person making it and doing it too!  Now you know what is the real deal like!
