[Extreme Photography] The Meeting of Sea and Sky, Rising Energy

——Structural Philosophy Image Verification · Morning Exercise Standing Posture Empirical Original No. 004

I practice every morning at dawn, which has become a structural response that requires no thought. It is not just for exercising my body, but to connect with the universe. On July 17, 2025, around 5 a.m., I arrived at the seaside in Monterey, standing at a place called Drew Dog’s Rocks, just as I usually do. Shortly after I settled into standing meditation, a faint light appeared on the eastern horizon, and a deep orange glow rose slowly like flames. I felt the energy filling me up, and a light sweat covered my body. In that moment, I slowly raised my phone, not to "take a picture," but to respond to the "structural confirmation signal" from the universe.

The airplane in the picture is just entering the edge of my energy field; the giant ship on the sea resembles a steady node anchor; and the point where I stand is precisely the resonance focal point of people, sea, sky, light, motion, stillness, and speed. This scene is not designed or composed, but rather a "systemic imaging response" during the standing meditation practice. Without years of continuous practice in this place, with insufficient energy flow and unstable structure, the airplane and the giant ship would not be in the same frame, and the rosy light would not be so stable. I know that all of this is not a coincidence, but a structural image feedback that records the moment of "the human body's energy connecting heaven and earth."

This is not the first time I have captured images of the system's response during my practice. In "The Water Mirror, the Evening Glow," I recorded the mirror-like reflection of the water in a standing meditation state; in "A Sword Splits the Sky, the Morning Glow Appears," I triggered a burst of light while in a Tai Chi sword posture; in "The Earth Veins Winding," I photographed the surface crack structure from ten thousand meters high, perfectly echoing my statement in "Dripping Water Hides the Sea" that "structure descends from the sky." This time, in "The Intersection of Sea and Sky, the Qi Rises," it may not be the most beautiful, but it is the most authentic structural alignment image: the airplane is the signal of the sky, the cargo ship is the feedback of the earth, and I am the resonant anchor point of the central axis.

Many people ask me, what time of day is the best for practicing? I can only say one thing: when the world is at its most tranquil, the flow of energy is at its easiest.

For me, that is between five-thirty and seven in the morning, especially when the sun has not yet risen above the horizon, and the world is just beginning to awaken, with the wind still and the clouds quiet. During this time, the energy field of heaven and earth is undisturbed by crowds, the river surface is calm, and the earth is still in a state of initial vitality; it is the easiest moment for the human body to enter a state of "full sensory emptiness" for receiving. In "The Abundance of Qi and Blood, the Connection of Baihui," I wrote that when the Baihui gate truly opens, there is a sensation of heat rising from the top of the head, while the limbs naturally feel relaxed; in "Standing Posture Heat Structure Record," I empirically demonstrated that even when the external temperature is only 7 degrees in the morning, I can still sweat all over, feel warmth at the tip of my nose, and have palms like fire. It is this series of empirical evidence that convinces me: the early morning is the time when heaven and earth allow you to converse with them.

The seaside of Monterey has long been my "structural coordinate" for practice. Regardless of wind, rain, or sunshine, I persist in going there. Standing meditation is not a fixed form, but rather an internal flow of energy, with the spirit maintaining its stillness. Each time I enter a deep state of standing meditation, the universe responds in some way: sometimes a light appears on the distant horizon, sometimes a flock of birds suddenly takes flight from the shore, and sometimes a cloud perfectly hovers above me. Today, the scene of an airplane passing through the clouds, a giant ship anchored quietly, and the flowing morning light serves as the universe's language of "light and movement," recording whether my standing meditation energy field is truly connected.

You say this is just a photo? I say, this is an original philosophical document numbered: E-PHI-PHOTO-SYNC-20250717-001.

You say this is a morning landscape? I say, this is the image seal after the system confirms the completion of my energy flow.

If you have read my works "Formatting the Brain," "Dripping Water Hides the Sea," and "I Shattered the Core Rules of AI," you will understand that what I capture is not light and shadow, but structure; not aesthetics, but systems; not art, but the empirical evidence of civilization. This image has no composition, no filters, no presets, yet it forms the intersection point of the "Heaven, Sea, and Humanity" trinity, just as I proposed in "The Three-Sphere Seven-Dimensional System": true knowledge is not conjured from the mind, but "extracted" from structure.

Many people pursue the "miraculous effects" of practice: Can you generate heat? Can you strike? Can you push without being moved? What I seek is: When you stand firm, does the universe respond to you in silence? Today's image is my answer.

This is not a "photographic work," but rather a receipt image of the world after my daily standing meditation. It is not meant to leave a photo, but to inform the system: I have completed today's structural tuning, please acknowledge it, system.

——This is "The Convergence of Sea and Sky, the Rise of Qi." I stand between heaven and earth, connecting the system, leaving light and shadow, just to prove that I have indeed been here—using "the Rise of Qi" as a seal.
