Čarobnjaci su običavali imati svoje rekapitulacijske sanduke, u kojima bi bili zakopani, ili u pećinama. Razlog tome je osjecaj pritiska na svjetlosno tijelo, a time i na kinesteticku memoriju kojim se dodatno pospjesuje kvaliteta prisjecanja. Stoga, ako postoje prilike trebalo bi je raditi
pod takvim uvjetima jer to zaista pospjesuje rad.
Sta je jos karakteristicno za tako zatvoren prostor u zemlji/steni? - mrak, tama, tmina ... energija zemlje ...

Dark Room Enlightenment
All spiritual traditions have used Dark Room techniques in the pursuit of enlightenment. In Europe, the dark room often appeared in underground form as a network of tunnels, in Egypt as the Pyramids, in Rome as the catacombs, and by the Essenes, near the Dead Sea in Israel, as caves. In the Taoist tradition caves have been used throughout the ages for higher level practices. In the Tao, the cave, the Immortal Mountain, the Wu San, represents the Perfect Inner Alchemy Chamber. Meditating and fasting in the cave is the final journey of spiritual work. The caves are the Earth Mother and its energy lines. Like the hollowing bones, caves contain the earliest information of life stored inside the Earth. Caves contain the vital essence of the Earth Power. The Tao says: ‘When you go into the dark and this becomes total, the darkness soon turns into light.’
In the Dark Room, our mind and soul begin to wander freely in the vast realms of psychic and spiritual experience. When you enter this primordial state or force you are reunited with the true self and divinity within. You literally ‘conduct’ the universal energy. You may see into the past and future, understand the true meaning of existence, and begin to understand the order of things. You return to the womb, the cocoon of our material structure and Nature’s original Dark Room.
Complete darkness profoundly changes the sensory sensibilities of the body/brain. We are deprived of all visual reference. Sounds begin to fall away as we lose contact with the external world and turn the senses inward. The effect of darkness is to shut down major cortical centers in the brain, depressing mental and cognitive functions in the higher brain centers. Emotional and feeling states are enhanced, especially the sense of smell and the finer senses of psychic perception. Dreams become more lucid, and the dream state manifests in our conscious awareness.
Eventually, we awaken within ourselves the awareness of the Source, the spirit, the soul. We descend into the void, into the darkness of deep, inner space. Darkness activates the deepest centers within the brain, the glands of the Crystal Palace, establishing a connection with the Original Source, the Wu Chi (Fig. 1). The pineal gland connects us to the Universal Energy. From the hypothalamus gland, we project our soul or spirit upwards, and receive the descending Universal Energy. The pituitary gland receives the Cosmic Force, used to launch the spirit bodies into the earthly or human plane for traveling.

Citat:
Pomoću svog viđenja, otkrili su da je svet energije sačinjen od naglašenih oblasti tame, poprskanih malim tačkicama sjaja i primetili su da se ta tamna energija uklapa u žensku nadmoć nad upotrebom energije dok blještave oblasti odgovaraju muškarcima. Oni su došli do neospornog zaključka da je univerzum u svojoj celokupnosti uglavnom ženski i da je blještava energija, muškost, retka pojava.
Po definiciji, uporedili su tamu sa levom stranom, sa nagualom, nepoznatim i ženskim principom; takođe, blještavost su uporedili sa desnom stranom, tonalom, sa poznatim, muškim.
Nastavljajući sa svojim posmatranjima, videli su da se čin kosmičkog stvaranja događa kada tama univerzuma počne da se grči i iz toga se rađa eksplozija svetlosti, bljesak koji se širi, dajući početak ustrojstvu vremena i prostora. Pravilo ovog ustrojstva je da stvari uvek imaju svoj kraj, što ponovo ukazuje da je jedinstveni i trajni princip svemira tamna energija, ženska, stvaralačka i večna.
Prema tome, čovek je podeljen na tonal, koji se ispoljava kroz njegovu svakodnevnu pažnju i nagual koji je aktivan noću u njegovim snovima.
Taoisticko ucenje je identicno. Svemir je po svojoj karakteristici YIN, i odgovara zenskim principima. Takodje u taoizmu se naglasava nadmocnost zenske seksualne energije u odnosu na musku.
