The Kunlun Mountain/Volcano is located in Tibet. Its volcanic group contains 70 pyroclastic cones and basaltic lava flows.

     Kunlun is not only famous for its grandeur but also the color of jade it produces, and the jade is called Kunlun Jade. Among the snow and the grassland, rare animals are leaping and skipping, presenting a beautiful picture of nature.    

   Taoist cosmology recognized five sacred mountains, one for each of the cardinal directions and for the center.  Kunlun is the mountain in the middle, the empty center that is the spinning axis of the Taoist Universe.

   In Keeping with Taoist philosophy, this center was a point that was nowhere and everywhere at the same time.  For millennia, Kunlun Mountain traveled freely from one part of China to another, its geographic placement conveniently shifting as the centers of Chinese civilization moved from one province to another.  But at the end of the nineteenth century, when Christian missionaries arrived in China, Kunlun Mountain finally settled down to a fixed location on a map – most likely because the missionaries succeeded in convincing the Chinese that mountains do not move and a center can only be at one place at one time.

   An Etheric Kunlun Mountain still exists.  Shrouded in mists and dappled with shining groves of tea trees and gardenia flowers, this mountain continues to move from place to place and appears and disappears in dreams . . . (sounds a lot like Shambhala, doesn’t it?). 

   This Kunlun Mountain is the mythical Taoist paradise.  Deep below the surface of the earth, its caves and labyrinths burrow to the earth’s core of fiery rivers.

   To the ancient Chinese, high mountains were shrouded in mystery. They were unknown and unpredictable, their harsh and fickle weather conditions making them dangerous and inaccessible to all but the bravest adventurers.

   Mountains became symbolic of what lay beyond the veil of the visible world.  Since the highest, most imposing were regarded as sacred, temples and shrines were built in their sheltered canyons, and stories and legends were told about the mystical occurrences that happened on their slopes.

   Kunlun Mountains slipped easily back and forth between the world of matter and the world of dreams.  The ancient Chinese regarded the mountain as the center of the world, the umbilicus of the universe, the connecting link between heaven and earth.

   Over centuries, Kunlun Mountain became a symbol for the unknowable wholeness of Tao, reflected in the unknowable mystery of the self.  The paths along the mountain came to represent the paths we follow through life, the path of our destiny.  The mountain is our Being, the connecting link between our body, our spirit, our mind and our soul.  The labyrinths below the mountain represent the primal, instinctual wisdom of our bodies while the North Star which shines at the mountaintop represents the speck of spirit whose light guides our journey from birth through life and back to our original source.

   Kunlun Mountain is a paradox.  It exists both in and out of the world we know as real.  At the point of intersection of the four directions the mountain is the unknowable empty center, the self that connects each of us to the whirling mystery of Tao.

     Is it any wonder that Kunlun Mountain is one of our Intuition Mountains?
