Enlightenment Dark Room Retreat
 After 40 years of preparation, Master Mantak Chia is now ready to present 
the ancient wisdom of the Dark Room Technology; starting February 10, 
2002, with the Immortal Tao Practices of Kan & Li (Lesser, Greater and 
Greatest) in the dark. All spiritual traditions have used the Dark Room 
techniques throughout the ages, referring to it as the Perfect Inner 
Alchemy Chamber.
 A dark room environment changes the body chemistry, which affects the 
Pineal, Pituitary and Thalamus/Hypothalamus Glands. In Europe, the dark 
room has often appeared in underground form as a network of tunnels; the 
Pyramids in Egypt, the catacombs in Rome or the caves used by the Essenes, 
near the Dead Sea in Israel. The Taoist tradition has used Cave Dark Room 
Technology throughout the ages for all higher level Inner Alchemy 
Practices. The Tao says: 'When you go into the dark and this becomes 
total, the darkness soon turns into light'.
 Every day the body needs tryptophan, an essential amino acid. This is 
converted into serotonin and melatonin (average 2-5mg./ day). When you are 
in the dark room the melatonin is able to build up gradually. When this 
store reaches a sufficient amount (15-20mg.) the body then produces 
pinoline (a super conductor). It also realizes that it no longer needs any 
more melatonin.
 At this point the tryptophan is then able to adopt a secondary function of 
producing 5MEO and DMT (Dimethylyrikamin). When you reach the 'DMT state' 
you begin to function consciously from the various psychic centers or 
chakras. The bodily processes of 'Healing Love' are then combined with 
those of the Dark Room. The human states of true compassion and sexual 
arousal create a new chemistry and a new vibration within the body. This 
'special' vibration occurs at a frequency of 8Hz. 'As in the macrocosm, so 
it is in the microcosm'; hence if we make love, then all the cells and DNA 
actually make love as well. The DNA cross over, like two serpents 
intertwining in an erotic embrace. You need the orgasmic vibration to 
arouse this crossover process which leads to the 'two giving birth to 
three'; the conception of new cells. The two vital states are compassion 
and arousal leading to orgasm. Both are inextricably linked to love. When 
this 'love-vibration' reaches the pineal gland a new hormone is produced, 
which in turn creates whole body conductivity. Only when you feel the 
waves of orgasmic vibration and unconditional love for the self and others 
can the process be activated and the essence of the darkroom magnified. 
When the pinoline is triggered you also activate your clairvoyant, 
clairsentient and clairaudient powers. You may see light and visions, hear 
music and gain phenomenal insight. Cosmic particles, which have the same 
cell structures as humans (and from which the Tao believes you evolved) 
are attracted to you magnetically. You are able to decode this universal 
information carried from outer space, which may be as old as nothingness 
itself. When you enter this primordial state or force you are reunited 
with the true self and divinity within. You literally 'conduct' the 
universal energy. You may see into the past and future, understand the 
true meaning of existence and begin to understand the order of things. You 
return to the womb, the cocoon of our material structure and nature's 
original Dark Room.
 
Overview of the Dark Room Retreats
 Using a Partner System the first few days will be used to make up for any 
sleep deficiency and to relax the body from its daily concerns. Sleeping 
12-14 hours a day, will promote healthy amounts of melatonin. We will 
practice 2 hours of Simple Chi Kung and CNT and Thai massage will be 
available. Fresh juices and soup will be served for breakfast and an 
organic meal in the afternoon. All food will be light and easily 
digestible and all service provided by Tao Garden staff with night vision 
goggles. We will commence the Kan and Li practices and gradually increase 
levels of orgasmic and compassionate energy. When you reach a certain 
point you will begin to hear the cells and DNA making love or coupling. On 
the 7th, 14th and 21st. evenings, you will be able to leave the Dark Room 
Retreat through a reflexive tunnel. You will go outside slowly, wearing 
your own sunglasses. It is important to wear them all of the next day, 
until you gradually get used to the light again.The Condominium Buildings 
will be converted into an air conditioned dark room environment with a 
central meeting and meditation room. All exterior windows & doors will be 
sealed with sound & light proof paneling.

 Dark Room Enlightenment Program
 DAY 1-3 
Complete isolation from external light causes the pineal gland to flood 
the brain with the neurotransmitter melatonin. 3 Days of Internal Darkness 
and Sleep Therapy - During these 3 days one has the chance to catch up on 
all the lost sleep that has occurred over the last few years. This stage 
cannot be over emphasized, with regard to its importance in the overall 
process. Christ spent 3 days in the caves near the Dead Sea, utilizing 
this metamorphic process, which is conducive to a very gradual death of 
the ego.
 DAY 3-5 
The pineal gland starts to increase the production of 'pinoline', whereby 
a greater fluidity of thought and healing of the body starts to occur. 
This period allows for transition, wherein numerous meditations will be 
carried out, which will incorporate projection of the energy body and 
astral travel along with (Iron Shirt) Chi Kung.
 DAY 6-8 
At this stage the pineal gland starts to produce the neurohormone 
5-MeO-DMT. This psychoactive tryptamine is highly luminescent; it is also 
extremely phospherescent due to the amount of phosphene that it transmits 
onto the visual cortex. The neuro transmitter 'akashon' is normally only 
active when we are in the womb and in the first months of our lives. It is 
now reactivated in the darkroom.  5-MeO-DMT switches on 40% more of the 
cerebral cortex and awakens the nervous system to become aware of itself; 
'beingness' results. Hence, the possibility of metaprogramming the nervous 
system's bio-computer - activating healing and conflict message assortment 
of the nervous system. 5-MeO-DMT is the empathogenic neurotransmitter that 
expands the emotional body between 'infinity and zero'. It gives rise to 
telepathy in the emotional and intuitive bodies. It engages the awakening 
of the 'Flower Of Life', the spine, which begins to glow in a state of 
beingness and peace. Many exercises will be practiced during this period; 
compacting Chi, consciousness and awareness into the nervous system, 
working with the Silent Self and anchoring the Immortal Body. 5-Meo-DMT 
discharges the darkness from the darkroom. A bright light will be 
activated. This Great White Light, the manifestation of the astral body, 
enables the self to project externally. At this point, some degree on 
'N-Methyl-D-Aspartare Inhibition' (NMDA-I) usually occurs. This is a 'soft 
form' of the slowing of the glutamate input signals into the cells. This 
makes it easier for the nervous system to cause electrons to stop flowing 
within the cells, allowing for profound meditative trance states. The 
5-MeO-DMT prepares the nervous system, through its empathic state of being 
and self awareness of the nervous system, for the DMT or 
dimethyltryptamine production of the pineal gland, in psychoactive 
milligram dosages.
 DAY 9-12 
There is now enough 'Mono Amine Oxidase Inhibition' triggered by the 
pinoline, to allow the pineal gland's 'serotonin to melatonin cycle' to be 
intercepted by adrenaline and ephedrine activity and converted into a 
'serotonin DMT pathway'. When DMT levels reach more than 25mg, one's 
experience can become very visual. DMT is the visual third eye 
neurotransmitter. It enables the energy body and spirit to journey into 
hyperspace, beyond third dimensional realms of time and space. It is 
intensely energizing. At this stage of the Dark Room Retreat, the required 
amount of sleep tends to diminish dramatically. Although the day may last 
24 hours, 3 hours of sleep can seem like 12. During this period we will 
engage in further practices; psychic games and interactivity, Taoist Dream 
Yoga (advanced levels) and Imagination Expansion.
 Conditions
 Each person will sign a form of consent, whereby they acknowledge 
responsibility for the 'self', in entering into 7 or 14 days (to be 
specified in application) of light isolation. They will confirm that they 
are free from mental illness or any other delicate health condition, that 
they are over 18 years of age and that they agree to stay for the full 
duration of the specified period, without interrupting the process for 
others.
 Preparation at Home
 Each participant should practice Fusion of the Five Elements and Pa Kua 
Spine. 
One should be practicing Cosmic Inner Smile, Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Tao Yin or 
Aerobics, which bring the body into a state of balance and tuning. A 
physically fit vehicle is the foundation stone from which to launch astral 
travel into multi-spatial orbit and higher cortical activity. All 
participants are encouraged to engage in a healthy preparatory diet and 
bowel cleansing process, commencing 4 weeks before. Diet should be rich in 
Vitamin D, beta-carotene like choleric, calcium/magnesium and zinc. We 
also recommend that you arrive at the Tao Garden a few days before the 
retreat, to settle yourself and continue purification processes. 
Additional supplements of vitamin D, calcium (2,000 g.m.s.), magnesium 
(500 m.g.), zinc (20 m.g./day), will prepare and enhance the body's 
capacity for this training. In addition, we suggest that participants also 
increase their daily intake of seaweed and blue green algae approximately 
four weeks before the retreat. Bring along a good supply of both. This 
will enable essential amino acids and enzymes required by the body and 
third eye, to produce the all-important neurotransmitters of the 'Internal 
Alchemical Elixir'.
