Alan Watts
Cinnabar to Gold
Disorder is necessary for the manifestation of order
And then when one sees that
A profound transformation takes place in one's attitude
That is to say
Instead of looking upon life as a contest
It becomes a dance
It becomes a game
One doesn't withdraw from it
One doesn't stop living
A dance in joyous cosmology

Open up
First I make the time and I
Gotta get my spine ordered
Then I get my mind sorted
Looking inward
Filling up my lungs
Gently holding in the perineum
Put it in my dantian
Sеnd intention
Send the thoughts back
Just focus on thе numb
Take a breath
And returning back
To the one
Quiet and in stillness
Eventually
Clarity will come
And the fire burns
Ya feel it
It can take time
But I promise that you'll start the healing
If only you
Constantly refine and focus inward
With your heart mind, and your heat'll rise
100 days will pass away
Then you're letting go of waste
And your thoughts that take you from your day to day
You won't want back in the race
Instead, returning back to your fate
Stillness brings you back to your peace
100 days will pass away
Letting go of your waste
This is the way
One can refine
Give it some time
Just go
Sitting divine
Stilling the mind
Give it some time
Just roll
Rewards take time
Nothing instant
You'll find a way
Practice patience when impatient
Getting calmer day by day
Day by day
This is the way
One can refine
Give it some time
Just go
Sitting divine
Stilling the mind
Give it some time
Just roll
Rewards take time
Nothing instant
You'll find a way
Practice patience when impatient
Getting calmer day by day
If I can breathe then I can pray
If I can pray then I can wait
If I can wait then I can make
The decision to ascend, escape
Float away from day to day
Fulfill my fate in every way
Not a single breath goes to waste
If I can breathe then I can pray
If I can pray then I can wait
If I can wait then I can make
The decision to ascend, escape
Float away from day to day
Fulfill my fate in every way
Not a single breath goes to waste

Now that you found stillness
You can start to feel this
Gathering intention building
Filled-ness
Inhaling down
Send it with your feelings
There's hypnosis
And then there's notions
But just stay fixed in the infinite ocean
The tranquility within motion
The motionless filled with chaos unfocused
Take an inhale, and feel it
Let the diaphragm go down
Even when exhaling
Keep the feeling heavy
Compress it every breath
Feed the fire
Creating ashes out of stress
Ashes turn to earth
So earth can give birth
To the ores that we refine
Condensating water forth
Water then descends from the north
To the spout that go in search
For that shining light
Sky rejoice
Rising up, up, up
Up to the peaks, and away
Ascending out the top
Into outer space
Connecting to the stars
And awaiting Heaven's mandate
I can feel the choir's charge
Overwhelmed, I prostrates
If there a way to change my fate
I commit, whatever it takes
This is the way
One can refine
Give it some time
Just go
Sitting divine
Stilling the mind
Give it some time
Just roll
Rewards take time
Nothing instant
You'll find a way
Practice patience when impatient
Getting calmer day by day
Day by day
This is the way
One can refine
Give it some time
Just go
Sitting divine
Stilling the mind
Give it some time
Just roll
Rewards take time
Nothing instant
You'll find a way
Practice patience when impatient
Getting calmer day by day

If I can breathe then I can pray
If I can pray then I can wait
If I can wait then I can make
The decision to ascend, escape
Float away from day to day
Fulfill my fate in e'ry way
Not a single breath goes to waste
Goes to waste
If I can breathe then I can pray
If I can pray then I can wait
If I can wait then I can make
The decision to ascend, escape
Float away from day to day
Fulfill my fate in e'ry way
Not a single breath goes to waste

The organization of human life
Its systems of communication
Its systems of control
Are extended more and more and more
In just the same way, for example
Thereby, assimilating the minerals out of the soil
And the rays out of the sunlight
A plant like a fern grows and grows and grows
And extends its form
And in this way
Its organization prevails
