=Psycho-spiritual Components= Deals with qualitative spiritual essence. This is the place of the soul and the spirit, the creator, where the spirit can be fed, cared fo, revitalized, and cleansed of all that has defiled it. This is the best palace of all. Imagine the spirit moving through the Middle Palace and the Cloud Gate to this wonderful palace. This is one of the most dynamic and spiritually uplifting points.

Reaches the **spirit level of the Lung meridian**, as a window of the sky point. If the Lungs are **not in touch with the quality in life,** one may feel empty inside. This may manifest as **grieving for that which one has lost, or longing for something that has eluded one**. The character Fu indicates a building where records are kept; hence, Mathew's translates Tiain Fu as "the storehouse of god-eternity" Knowing that heaven finds the best of us may help us t wipe the slate clean and find the best in oneself. The **virtue associated wth the Lung is justice (Yu). Whereas the Liver is associated with human justice, the Lung is associated with heavenly justice.** Human justice is always a matter of judgement and compromise. Hence, the Dao De Jing states "in reconciling a great injury, there is always some injury remaining. how can this be good?" **Heavenly justice always repays injury with the original nature (De), the very basis of self-worth**. It is interesting to compare the virtue of self in contradistinction to self-esteem, as empowered by LU-1. Self-esteem may be said to be predicated upon a balanced vision of those aspects of self which comprise the roots of one's life, which are fundamental and cannot be compromised. The vision must discern these fundamental principles as compared with the peripheral asect of self, which may be likened to branches that can be pruned and relinquished as one channels energy for their growth. Self-worth, on the other hand, may be considered to be predicated upon one's respect for a value of that fundamental vision. [LJ]


 * Codes for ascension. Metanoia, spiritual insight, is brought about by accessing the codes for ascension. When it is time to remember what is essential and let go of what needs to change.** This makes it possible to give and recieve. Guides us to truth, on'es nobility, and experience of self-worth [ALHIM]
