Born Enlightened: Return to Natural Thinking!

In 1997, I came into contact with the Chinese Dao master Fangfu. He introduced me to the Dao-practice performed in a relaxed standing posture. It leads with increasing relaxation to an understanding of NATURE, which is much more profound than what I thought possible as a natural scientist. After I became increasingly familiar with what practicing uncovers, I discovered what it reveals not only among the ancient wise Greeks, which I have already reported on in The Socrates Code and The Plato Code. I also recognized it, as I now show, in the ancient Iranian, Old Judeo-Christian and Buddhist traditional culture. However, their unique and common teaching was, it seems, lost and thus got distorted from a host of unpracticed interpreters.

It is not recoverable with the thinking we are familiar with today. However, this can be NATURALIZED with three philosophical-analytical axioms discovered with the practice. These axioms can be internalized without it to uncover the now lost understanding of NATURE, KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM common to the ancient illuminated sages in all five traditional cultures. I also show that modern quantum physics has already partially detected the three axioms. - Peter Hubral
