The Door to All Wonders affords an accessible sense of the Tao and of the
practical and profound value of Te-the cultivation of virtue energy-for beginners and
experienced practitioners alike. The Introduction to the book includes a simplified
presentation of basic information and concepts relating to the I Ching and the genetic
code (DNA). This will benefit readers who are not conversant in these areas and their
interrelatedness. This will smooth the way to appreciate the practical significance of
textual explanations that often refer to the I Ching. The reason for this presentation is
that it has been recognized that the 5000-year-old I Ching 'world formula' correlates
'exactly' to the structure and dynamics known of the modern genetic code (DNA). This
understanding translates in practical terms to our understanding of how and why our
practices have powerful benefits at the cellular level of inner alchemy for health and
spiritual transformation.
Many of the readers who would venture to pick up and take a look at a book such as this
have already had a prompting from their inner voice, or at least a strong subtle sense
that 'there must be more.' The text in the first chapter begins by characterizing the Tao
as indefinable, yet tantalizingly ever-present and all-pervading. Soon after, we come to a
section titled 'Inner Voice.' This section offers a simple meditation process to enable us
to connect to our inner voice and to gain a sense of reliability in listening to the inner
guidance coming from our Pure-Person inner self. This is an important first step for one
to cultivate in the journey of self-mastery and for attaining spiritual independence and
the ultimate goal of spiritual immortality.
The main text is divided into nine chapters covering about 250 pages. The pages are
visually enlivened with the hexagrams and Chinese characters from the I Ching, copious
drawings depicting exercises and Taoist concepts, and color illustrations for many of the
meditation practices mentioned. The scintillating and knowledgeable commentary provided by
Master Tao Huang in reference to Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is of particular interest. He
claims the unique distinction of having received direct inner spiritual initiation from
Lao Tzu himself, and he is commissioned by him to teach Laoism in the West. Since many
Western readers may not have a clear grounding in fundamental aspects of Chinese mystical
culture and experience, we have also included some elaboration of this from the experience
of both authors in the Introduction.
