8. When you want to enter quietude, first tune and concentrate body and
mind, so that they are free and peaceful. Let go of all objects, so that
nothing whatsoever hangs on your mind, and the celestial mind takes its
rightful place in this center.
9. After that, lower your eyelids and gaze inward at the chamber of’ water.
Where the light reaches, true positive energy comes forth in response.
10. Fire is yang outside and yin inside, so it is in substance the creative,
with one yin inside ruling it, arousing mind according to things, going along
but into habitual routines.
11. Now when you turn the light around to shine inward, [the mind] is not
aroused by things; negative energy then stops, and the flower of light
radiates a concentrated glow, which is pure positive energy.
12. Correlates inevitably associate, so the positivity in t water leaps up,
whereupon it is not the positivity in water but just the positivity in the
creative itself responding to the positivity in the creative. Once the two
things meet, they join inextricably, the living movement of creative energy
now coming, now going, now floating, now sinking. In the basic chamber
in oneself there is an ungraspable sense of vast space, beyond measure; and
the whole body feels wondrously light and buoyant. This is what is called
"clouds filling the thousand mountains "
