Immortality

Part 3

Truth or Neurotic Wish?

Questions:

1. Draw or describe a reminder of one of your helpers.

2. Who are the 8 Chinese Immortals?

They are a combination of authenticated historical figures and characters who date back so far in history that they have no record in human documentation. They have counterparts in countries all over Asia, so we can derive a conclusion that they also represent certain aspects of human idealism. There are actually over 10,000 people considered to be immortal according to Chinese folklore. Each has a story of valuable insight to good health, and good living.

Below is a list of each of the 8 immortals and his or her special power. Keep in mind that the English spelling is a phonetic approximation of the Chinese pronunciation and characters.

1. Jong-Li Kwan—brings people back to life with his magic fan, gives money to people in need, is a military expert. Historically, he was alive during the Han dynasty.

2. Lu-Dong Bin—fights evil with his extremely accurate magic sword, is a scholar, carries a fly whisk. Born 755 or 798 A.D., he worked as a civil servant during the Tang dynasty. Last seen living on Mt. Zhong under the moniker of Hui Dao Ren.

3. Jang Kwo-Lao—mastered the power of life and death, he is a prehistoric magician. He made a donkey to ride on from a piece of paper and folds it back up when he’s done. Uses water to revive the dead. Fakes his own death every so often to avoid people. He carries a bamboo cane, drumsticks, a phoenix feather, a peach, or a bat.

4. Zaow Kwo-Jeu—is considered to be the god of the theater and acting. He carries castanets or a royal ID pass of jade. He was a member of the royal family in the Sung dynasty, and left the worldly life behind to live the life of a reclusive monk.

5. Han Tsiang-Tzu—is the god of musicians and carries a flute. He was a disrespectful but precocious child who was kicked out of school. He was enlightened while a teenager, becoming a prophet. He was also the nephew of famous Han Yu, a scholar and politician during the Tang dynasty.

6. Iron Crutch Li (Lee Teeay-Guai)—is the god of people who need healing and financial help. He wears the disguise of a beggar and always carries a crutch and a small gourd, in which he magically sleeps at night. The gourd also is the Chinese symbol for the universe. He rides on a chimera. He lived during the Han dynasty.

7. He Tsian-Gu—carries a magic lotus, a basket, a peach, or a sheng reed organ. She had been a young woman with a reputation for exceptional wisdom. When she was a teen, she dreamt that eating silica or mother-of-pearl would give her great beauty and immortality. She lived about 700 A.D. She was last seen flying on a cloud, about 50 years after her disappearance.

8. Lan Tsai-He—the god of florists. He is a cross-dressing young man who carries a bamboo basket of flowers. He is an ancient figure who acts crazy, sings for donations of money, teleports himself across great distances (via musical tones coming from the sky), and has no regard for the weather limitations of the seasons. He is probably an ET.

3. How does my knowing about the Eight Chinese Immortals help me?

Of all the mythological figures of the world, these are currently the most active. They appear in films (notably Jackie Chan’s films), computer games, and cartoons. To the Chinese people, they are easily accessible and very well-loved. They are said to appear to you when you need guidance or more physical help. Since they are 5DIs, you can’t do much better than to ask them for instruction.

4. Is there a protocol for contacting one of the Xiang?

Yes. They usually appear to people who have a task or a mission that would affect society. However, on an individual basis, you can do the following:

1. Quietly sit in a meditative state, preferably in nature or alone in a quiet room.

2. Focus your attention on your crown chakra. Picture it as a large purple bowl, filled with Golden Light and glowing with an aura about a foot wider than the chakra itself.

3. Do not ask to speak to any specific member of this group. Instead, ask for enlightenment regarding your most urgent problem.

4. Breathe deeply and slowly ten times. Wait and breathe normally for the answer to come.

5. Do I really want to live forever?

I don’t know about you, but I like to make a trade-in for a new model of body every so often. The species does indeed change with the times and it is a good idea to get a modern body.

On the other hand, you do get more personal Power Points (PP) for the more years that you live in the same incarnation. So it is still a good idea to maintain a high quality of life now and help your current body to be healthy and long-lived.
