Baolin Wu

Dr. Baolin Wu, a living Daoist master, reveals for the first time, the secret method of opening the third eye. Passed down in an 800-year-old oral tradition, this book details visualizations, meditations, and qigong movements that have been carefully guarded at the White Cloud Monastery for seventeen generations. Daoists refer to the third eye as the Heavenly Eye, due to its ability to open the mind to a higher level of perception. Once activated, it opens psychic abilities, enhances intuition, and inspires divine creativity, allowing adepts to distinguish truth from deception, perceive realms beyond ordinary time and space, and receive deep insights about ultimate destiny. These sacred self-cultivation practices harness the yin essence of the moon, matching the lunar cycles of the ancient Chinese calendar while also working with opening the joints and arteries of the body, detailed here in the qigong form known as Five Centers Facing Heaven. The book provides both theory and practice instructions, supporting the quest to restore the mind, rejuvenate the body, and awaken the innate power of spirit.

The Soul of Taiji introduces the original practice of taijiquan as taught by Zhang Sanfeng, the original creator, to the outside world for the first time, pristinely preserved and complete. It tells the story of Master Wu Baolin and how he came to learn this Daoist taijiquan from Master Du Xinling at the White Cloud Monastery in Beijing. The practice goes back seven generations, starting with Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the Wudang branch of the Complete Reality School; it has since continued through Zhang Daishan and other senior lineage holders. Daoist taijiquan adheres to roundness, the circular symbolizing movement and exercise, and the key to opening the mysterious life gate, onto to a better path, each day fulfilled and joyous. Zhang Sanfeng Taijiquan amongst all forms is unique, practicing in only one singular direction, following the rotation of the earth, the direction of the winds, the turning of the stars, and the shapes of the planets. The universe is vast and unknown, but according to Yijing, the universe itself is round. By observing and practicing Daoist taijiquan, the roundness of the universe is then integrated, the self its reflection, becoming one.

This book systematically describes the concepts and principles for multi-satellite relative motion, passive and near passive formation designs, trajectory planning and control for fuel optimal formation maneuvers, and formation flying maintenance control design. As such, it provides a sound foundation for researchers and engineers in this field to develop further theories and pursue their implementations. Though satellite formation flying is widely considered to be a major advance in space technology, there are few systematic treatments of the topic in the literature. Addressing that gap, the book offers a valuable resource for academics, researchers, postgraduate students and practitioners in the field of satellite science and engineering.
