Welcome to
PRIMORDIAL ALCHEMIST®️ System
PRIMORDIAL ALCHEMIST System has become a leading spiritual development school teaching tens of thousands of students from every walk of life to re-discover their true hidden potential not experienced in other systems.
The “water path” – the celestial way of Taoism – has lead the field in helping others reach their goals of spiritual realization and has changed the world in passing on once hidden knowledge to the masses in an old traditional manner of the master to student transmission of once hidden truths, and were only practiced in remote temples of the east.
All people from all walks of life have had direct mind experiences through the water path of Taoism, and their lives have been changed in so many ways that are too many to describe.
We continue to passionately teach, promote, and hold the standards of teachings as outlined in those lineage masters of the ancient past, the reason why this art has become so well known and successful to all who devote to this authentic path. Learn More

Red Phoenix Level 4 – Unlock Your True Potential
Ready to take your Red Phoenix journey to the next level?
This advanced seminar is designed to deepen your practice and understanding within the KUNLUN System, focusing on the Red Phoenix, a practice associated with profound spiritual awakening. As highlighted in the KUNLUN System book by Max Christensen, the Red Phoenix represents a form of practice leading to significant enlightenment.
About Red Phoenix Levels 1, 2 & 3:
In Red Phoenix Level 1, practitioners activate a concentrated form of magnetic energy in the brain through specific cultivation techniques. Level 2 utilizes this energy to awaken neural cells within the lower dantien, often referred to as the body’s second brain. As the body becomes saturated with this magnetic field, Level 3 expands this energy into the Wei Chi, further activating dormant potentials of both body and mind.
Advancing to Red Phoenix Level 4:
Building upon the foundations laid in the earlier levels, Red Phoenix Level 4 delves deeper into the alchemical process, guiding practitioners toward the realization of the Red Phoenix body. This practice embodies the culmination of internal energy work, facilitating a profound transformation and illumination of one’s being.

“Your human body is a miracle of the universe with the great mysteries housed within it. You are the universe. You are the essence of living light, slowed down into the physical manifestation of frozen light. When we do our practices, we are speeding ourselves back up into the sacred vibration of truth, even beyond the speed of light, and in the process we remember who and what we truly are and what we came here to do.”
