Patrick presents an intelligent synthesis of Daoist/Buddhist, Gnostic/Sufi & Yogic internal work – the worldwideway – which leads deeply inside towards the one formless Source, which has no name.

Immersed 50yrs in those 3 great esoteric streams, Patrick authored 4 books on Taiji & meditation (in English, French, German, Italian, Chinese) and guides a world network of 100 teachers and 1000s of students.

Patrick asserts the great purpose of Taiji is the great purpose of life itself – internal evolution.

Taiji Practice

Taiji Dao

Taiji is in practice what 'Dao de Jing' expresses in principle. These principles remain universal throughout the known worlds, undiminished by their common reduction to intellectual ideas, emotional values, or religious rules, by the various races of the Earth.

Taiji Principles

The Source

The further back in time we look the more obscure the history of Taiji becomes, yet studying this past, 2 things become clear.

Taiji's inner essence flows down from genuine teachers to sincere pupils in unbroken chains.

Each teacher devises a personal system to express and pass on the impersonal inner teaching. The teaching must evolve outwardly or die inwardly.

Taiji Transmission

Meditation has 9 levels

Each of the 3 main realms has 3 sublevels, giving 9 energy clouds. Meditation works on the deep structures of the mind. It is a serious and potentially dangerous exercise. The ideal is to follow a senior master who has at least 20 years of self-cultivation. However, few who teach meditation fit this situation. Everywhere, inexperienced people foolishly play with the internal life of others, changing road signs and taking shortcuts, all for the purpose of power or money. Students are led astray, wasting time and energy on superficial or imaginary methods.
