Introduction
Taoism, a rich and profound ancient tradition, weaves magic and spirituality into a holistic tapestry, manifesting in various intriguing practices. One such practice is the inclusion of statues on altars, signifying a significant aspect of Taoist magic. While these statues may seem inanimate to the untrained eye, they are potent vessels for divine energies in Taoism.
Statues as Vessels of Faith
The principle behind these statues is akin to an empty jar, waiting to be filled. On their own, they are merely artful representations, but when filled with a certain essence, they take on a life of their own. What brings them to life? The soul.
Imagine this: you bring home a statue, intending it to represent the God of Wealth, hoping it will bring fortune and prosperity. Without any specialized knowledge, you place it in your home and pray to it, hoping it will work its magic. You may be told by some that this is ineffective, but as a Taoist master, I would like to assure you that it DOES work.
Why? Because when you invest your faith – your preheaven essence, the energy from your heart – into the statue, it starts to form its own soul. Your thoughts and prayers, your soul energy, interact with the statue, creating a spiritual embryo that matures into a god. This is how the concept of a statue works without the confines of religion; your investment is what brings it to life.
Caution for the Unprotected
But there’s a caveat to this process. Although you can invest and contain energies to make it real, without knowledge or training, you won’t know how to protect it. The spiritual world is not devoid of its own dangers; spiritual looters prey on unprotected statues, stealing their energy and even possessing them. These malevolent beings will impersonate your god, leading you to become a slave to these false deities who have hijacked your statue. This is often how individuals become lost or misguided in their spiritual journey, with some even falling prey to spiritual possession.
The Taoist Approach to Statues
In contrast, professional Taoists have a more structured approach to statues. The gods we cultivate are present in our higher dimensions, the Celestial Court and the Religious Court. These realms house the pure, original forms of the gods. When we invoke them, it’s as if a god is giving birth to a clone of itself, and we place that clone into the statue.
Post invocation, we empower and protect the statue, safeguarding it from spiritual looters and tyrants. The act of worshiping the statue accumulates your investment of faith, ensuring it is not easily defeated.
Moreover, the gods in our courts are highly cultivated, each with a unique profile, empowered by us and the higher dimensions above. This means that they are equipped with special powers, and you don’t need to create these powers from scratch.
It’s comparable to building a computer. While a layperson may start with a blank screen and attempt to create an operating system from scratch, we already have a fully developed system like Windows installed. In other words, our gods in statues are developed and ready-to-use.
