THE JADE EMPEROR, OR CAO DAI TIEN ONG DAI BO TAT MA HA TAT, TEACHING THE WAY IN THE SOUTHERN LAND
PLANCHETTE WRITING – AUTOMATIC WRITING
To engage in planchette writing or automatic writing, one must be in a state of tranquility, allowing the Spirit to leave the physical body and attend to My teachings.
During automatic writing, the hand obeys the Spirit, transcribing its words as if you, the medium, understand and convey them yourself.
What is the Spirit?
It is the second body (perisprit), the ethereal body. While residing in the physical body, it is difficult for it to emerge independently, as it is held back by the physical form.
The Spirit of Saints, Immortals, and Buddhas is profoundly wondrous, indestructible, and eternal. True cultivators, even while still in their physical bodies, upon attaining the Way, can project their Spirit before death to traverse the heavens. Only this Spirit is granted permission to come before Me.
In planchette writing, when in a trance, the Spirit completely exits the body. I then instruct it to write certain characters. It follows, and as I name the characters, the physical body, holding the planchette, writes them down. If someone misreads a character, the spirit hears it and refuses, compelling the hand to rewrite it and reprimanding the one who misread.
As for automatic writing, when I arrive, I cause your spirit to become momentarily unsettled, allowing it to emerge and listen to My teachings. Your hand then obeys and writes. It is when a part of you and a part of me are unified as one, that you can truly understand the Universe and master of all things.”
Before engaging in planchette writing or automatic writing, you must change into clean and proper attire, bathe and purify yourselves, and only then approach the Precious Hall to perform this act. Do not be negligent and commit a breach of etiquette. If you are engaging in planchette writing, you must pay attention to purity and not dwell on worldly matters. The hand holding the planchette must also be cleansed with incense, and the mind must be calmed for a moment. Then, with a focused spirit, you must leave your physical body to attend to the teachings. Only with a diligent soul can there be mystery and wonder. Only through fasting can the soul attain true diligence. One must cultivate the aspiration of Saints, Immortals, and Buddhas to assist in teaching the Way to all sentient beings.
Those who engage in planchette writing and automatic writing are like My generals, spreading the Way to the world. Do not consider spirit communication a trivial matter. As for transmitting spiritual energy getting điển quang (Divine Light Waves), everyone possesses a form of energy within themselves, which connects with external energy. Their spirit then channels this connection to produce writings, which can sometimes align with accuracy and sometimes not.
Therefore, when engaging in planchette writing, await My command before proceeding.
