VLVL2 (9): DL's Death Touch (part 1)

[Tim Strzechowski]

151.10: "Somewhere the hour chimed.  By the ancient system, it was the hour of the cock [...] A bird usually associated with the dawn, the cock, by the laws of the Death Touch, belonged to early night.  By now the chi cycle of the victim would have arrived in the region of his triple warmer, considered wife to the bladder, which was thus endangered.  In the Dim Mak method, the Needle Finger DL intended to use could be calibrated to cause a delay of up to a year in the actual moment of death, depending on the force and direction of its application."

"The Rooster (Cock)"

"Although the Chinese, like most of us, associate the Rooster with the first light of dawn, some perverse logic was at work when the monks of old chose the Rooster to symbolize the tenth sign.  This make the Rooster hour, or more precisely double hour, sunset!

"From a very early age, people born in the year of the Rooster know that life has to be lived to the full, that every moment is valuable.  Instinctively, they feel that to succeed, one must be at one's best, look one's best, and give one's best the whole time.  Bearing this in mind, it is hardly surprising to find that one of the Rooster's outstanding personality traits is self confidence.  Unfortunately, this is often combined with a perfectionism and obsessive attention to detail which others find intensely irritating.  This type also has an artistic flair and a great sense of style.  Roosters should curb their unbounded enthusiasm for new projects, and be more careful not to take on more than they can manage."

"A meridian is a channel through which Chi flows. It may be compared to a blood vessel which routes blood through the body. The meridian is responsible for routing the Chi from their source through their pared home organ or bowel into the next meridi an. There are twelve Main Meridians and eight Extra Meridians. The twelve Main Meridians are listed below. At this time, we will restrict our studies of the Extra Meridians to the Conception Vessel and the Governing Vessel. The Chi that flows through each of the meridians provides the energy for its pared organ or bowel that allows it to function. If this energy were to not flow properly, disease or death would be the result. This circuit is referred to as the Diurnal Cycle. The proper sequence of the Diurnal Cycle is illustrated below:

"Lung to Large Intestine to Stomach to Spleen to Heart to Small Intestine to Bladder to Kidney to Pericardium to Triple Warmer to Gall Bladder to Liver and back to Lung. [...]"
