The Ultimate admonishment in Taoism, as in many Traditions of Spiritual evolution, is to stay Attentive, hence the admonishment to “awaken” in some currents.
This is also what is sought in the dream work, an activity in which one seeks to awaken in his dream without actually waking.
In order to allow the practitioner to always be attentive, be vigilant, we have many aspects of our reality that we want to study : therefore, every perception is associated with a knowledge of our Study .
We speak of the “Five Arts of our Study”
- Mountain 山
- Destiny 命
- Divination卜
- Medicine医
- Observation相
- perceptible forms ( feng shui san ET)
- temporal forms ( feng shui san yuan )
- physical forms ( morphopsychology , Mian Xiang面相)
” Be sober, be watchful : your adversary the devil , as a roaring lion, walketh about , seeking whom he may devour . “
Peter 5:8
