The reader encounters here 8 Inner Lights, emerging spontaneously from the Dark Void in OuterSpace. These Inner Luminaries are the 8 Lucites (8 Mothers). They dutifully transport and guide the Taoist adept on his journeys to the Stars in their fiery chariots / cloudy vessels: To absorb various Stellar Effluviae. In a celestial travelogue, the practitioner visits the Sun, Moon, 5 Planets and the Big Dipper. Next, he follows the 8 Stations (8 Nodal Days) of the Sun / Moon, looking down unto Earth from his Cosmic vantage point.

Applying certain formulas of extended visualization, the aspirant undergoes spiritual changes: To charioteer his Sidereal Craft into the Darkness above. Having closed his 5 kitchens (5 senses) to shut down external stimuli, he now absorbs Stellar Light from the Planets right into his body. The Gods reigning over the visited Orbital Realms then erase his name from the registers of death.

In this endeavour the aspirant will be assisted by the 8 Lucites (8 Mothers), who are paving the way for him in those remote recesses of Space. Protecting him also from Evil Spirits, who lurk in the Darkness off the Sidereal Mainstays of Taoism.

Taoist Visions are Astral Alchemy. The Psychodrama in OuterSpace is Alchymical Operation direct at the source: Namely the Stars. The laboratory of the adept down on Earth is derivative of that overboard Sidereal Cauldron. What is cooked in Heaven, is residue on the earthly Plane below. Thence the mutation of the aspiring Taoist adept, before he is enabled to work Astral Alchemy on his own. First the initiation into the ranks of the Gods, then he can surgically operate on ailing Planets and Stars out there. Which will result in healing on Earth.
