Evolution and involution are spiral opposites which together form a double vortex, which in turn generates a torus shape (donut). Wu Ji Gong is ingeniously designed to embody both spiral forces (discussed in Bamboo Scroll #3) within movements that create a torus shape. It is the simplest and most powerful vehicle I’ve found for people to experience both forces simultaneously in their body. But Primordial Tai Chi is only one of countless methods of Conscious Energy Science that evolve consciousness.

SUMMARY
I personally understand the historical motivation behind Darwin and succeeding generations of scientists eager to free themselves from the superstitious blinders and totalitarian religious belief system of the Holy Roman Empire and its offshoots. In 1859, Science had to embrace Darwinism to secure its position and obtain public support.
I fully support material scientific process, free of all religious interference. But that is not an acceptable excuse today for claiming Darwinism is adequate to explain life and the evolution of consciousness. All debate about fossil records and lineage of species is a distracting side discussion if the fundamental cause of human life and death cycles cannot be explained scientifically.
I believe the biggest advances in exploring the core issue of the nature of consciousness will come from Conscious Energy Science. I don’t know if Conscious Energy Science will evolve in tandem with Material Science, or as a process separate from it, but Change in our definition of science to include consciousness, Qi theory, or its equivalent is inevitable. The bigger question, addressed in Ch. 6 on evil Qi, is whether the side effect of current belief in materialism – gene manipulation and artificial intelligence – risk disturbing Nature’s equilibrium and can trigger a Second Fall of Humankind.
MOVE? By sharp contrast, Taoist cosmology holds that each human may cultivate Qi arising direct from Origin, and use it to gain control and cultivate their own highest worldly and spiritual destiny
Qi Drives Evolution of DNA and RNA
Cellular biologist Bruce Lipton points out every phase of evolution — from the single cell to multi-cell organisms, and from multi-cells to HUGE multicellular human communities — involves two things: expanded awareness, and expanded community. The multiple crises facing the natural world and human society are a necessary stage in evolution to a higher order. Challenges are required for growth; that is the “story” of life, what drives the evolution of consciousness. – Steve Bhaerman, co-author, Bruce Lipton: Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future and a Way to Get There from Here (2009).
Evolution of Consciousness theory (modern language for Qi theory) does not have to have an underlying religious thesis such as Intelligent Design. Scientists fearfully defending their materialist neo-Darwinian thesis publicly proclaim their mantra: “We cannot let a single Divine Foot in the door”. They are worried that organized religion’s claim to define and control “the divine” will re-assert itself in education, as per a centuries old battle between the two extreme belief systems. They’ve undoubtedly read the surveys that only 8% of the American public believes humans came from monkeys.
But scientist’s worry is mis-placed. Unlike most religions, Primordial Tao cosmology and other forms of Conscious Energy Science do not assign a deity as the designer of creation, sitting atop a divine pyramid or chain of being. Tao theory holds the entire field of Qi – of all Space, Time, and Beings, – is intelligent, alive, self-aware, and is self-arising. This means it is self-designing itself in an evolutionary process of Self-exploration. The power of causality spread along the entire multi-dimensional continuum of creation.
Primordial Tao cosmology solves the problem of science being unable to prove neo-Darwinism’s genetic theory: what animates and drives the gene code, and empowers its creative potential? The DNA and RNA present in a dead person have zero evolutionary potential without an underlying Life Force to animate and make them operative.
The presence of the Life Force — flowing through our genetic DNA code in spiraling patterns and in the RNA producing new proteins within our cells — is what unfolds their ingenious design. This definition of evolution as the unfolding of the Qi field is open-ended, allowing all levels of existence, material and spiritual, organism and environment, to co-evolve whatever nourishes its highest harmony in that moment.
Evolution is Multi-Dimensional
If a civilization collapses and millions of people die because it was built on unsustainable treatment of the environment, that whole cycle of learning is evolutionary. It is a valuable lesson that is absorbed into the Qi Field as collective memory. We must stop viewing history as linear repetions of itself in the physical plane; the learning is also multi-dimensional. It gets encoded into the succeeding waves of souls incarnating onto Earth. It’s why each human generation always feels it is smarter than their parents – because they are! They hold within themselves information from a higher spiral of consciousness. Sometimes variations on a theme have to be played in order to get the lesson fully; we could say Humankind is a slow learner, OR that the forces of resistance (aka Dark Side) learn more quickly and require additional attention that will bring them fully into consciousness. (See Bamboo Scroll #3 for full chapter on Good and Evil dynamic of Yini-Yang play).
Material scientists have blinders on: they are only allowed to look horizontally at the flow of time, past to future. They are not allowed to look up, and study the vertical, that is the traditional domain of religion. But you need both to explain the origin and evolution of all life.
