The ancient immortal, Lao Tse is quoted as saying,

"When one does not incur small diseases,
one will not incur serious diseases.
When one incurs no serious diseases,
one will never die."

What this means is, people die from two things, disease and the deterioration of cells. In order to prevent disease a person must protect their immune system. Thousands of years ago they correctly determined that if a person keeps their body's resistance high, they will not be affected by germs, bacteria and viruses. It is said, "A person who is weak with low resistance can be killed by one germ." Therefore, aging is a result of deterioration, death of, or the inability to replace damaged cells. If our cells are always fresh, we will not age and if we do not age we will not die. Both prevention of disease and cell degeneration can be achieved through the dedicated practice of the teachings of Taoist sexual techniques.

Sexual Health – The Taoist Approach

The ancient Taoists were not abstract philosophers. They were practical people. As practitioners of highly effective methods which they themselves had devised through trial and error, if they discovered a technique did not work, it was discarded. They only developed and used techniques that worked.

Modern medical science's approach toward healing is more closely related to a classic form of warfare. They locate germs, bacteria and viruses and try to find ways in which to kill them. The use of antibiotics is a result of an attempt to accomplish this.

The Taoist believes it is best to prevent disease in the beginning. Taoists do not study disease, instead, they study life and health and how best to maintain it's balance. Taoists most certainly know how to heal because it is necessary that they do so, but their primary concern is first and foremost the prevention of illnesses.

From ancient texts, we know the Taoist practitioners were aware that there were untold numbers of germs and bacteria and that it was pointless waging war on a sea of unseen microbes and trying to find ways to kill them all. They realized the sensible approach was to strengthen the body and keep it healthy so it can resist the intruders. As a result, a complete preventative method was created thousands of years ago which is as practical today as it was when it was first discovered.

Shu Nu Ching

This method of nurturing and sustaining the life force while strengthening the body's immune resistance for the purpose of extending life and health is outlined in the "Tao of Sex as a Prevention of Disease." The basic text of "The Tao of Sex" is the "Shu Nu Ching" or "The Classic of the White Madam" written over 6,000 years ago during the time of the Yellow Emperor.

The "Shu Nu Ching" was written in classical Chinese verse (a type of opaque poetry) with the vital secrets hidden within it's text. For thousands of years, most people were forbidden from reading it because of the genetic secrets it contained.

At the time, the information was transferred orally and was revealed only after following elaborate rituals that insured ultimate secrecy. Similar to many ancient Chinese arts, after a great deal of time and effort was invested in obtaining the prized information, there was no guarantee that the correct information would be revealed or that it would be revealed in it's entirety. If a person did not have the "key," the treasure could not be opened. Without the proper training and instruction, everyone was not able to read or grasp it's contents.

During the Sui Dynasty (approximately 1,500 years ago), the book mysteriously vanished. Fortunately, it's name and contents were recorded in the pages of history. Ancient writings describe the attainment of a healthier, wiser and extended life span through the practice of these lost sex techniques.

The basic text is the "Shu Nu Ching," or The Classic of the White Madame. It was written in the time of The Yellow Emperor and is based on the conversations with his two wives, one dark and one light. The unity of these three, the Black Madame, The White Madame and the Yellow Emperor was created as a symbol of the universal nature of Taoism. These conversations formed the basis about the relationship between sexuality and the physical world.

Throughout its 6,000 year history, the book was regarded as a priceless jewel of knowledge. For thousands of years most people were forbidden from reading it, since it contained genetic secrets. About 1,500 years ago, during the Sui Dynasty, the book mysteriously vanished. Fortunately, its name and contents were recorded in the pages of history. The book later reappeared in the Japanese Imperial Court about 100 years ago during the period of Meji Modernization.

When the Emperor Meji instituted a democratic form of government the general population urged the royal family to reveal the books secrets. The Chinese finally recovered the original copy from the Japanese Royal Family and reproduced it in many editions. During the 1,400 year disappearance, the Chinese became even more secretive about the contents of the Shu Nu Ching. The contents, only transferred orally, was revealed after performing elaborate rituals that insured secrecy. Even still, there was no guarantee that the information was revealed in its entirety.

The Shu Nu Ching was written in classical Chinese and vital information was hidden in its verses. If a person did not have the key, the treasure could not be opened. Not everyone was able to read or understand the books meaning. People have said that after following some of the techniques they have received a lifetime of benefits from what they have learned.

This is because the Ancient Taoists were not ethereal, abstract philosophers. They were extremely practical people who discarded a technique when it did not work and only developed and used techniques that were efficient and produced the desired results.

The specific methods that were used by these great philosophers will be thoroughly discussed in an upcoming article post.
