Message I had wondered before why Mantak Chia started to say that there are nine levels, but if you carefully look at his cirriculum on his website and Michaels cirriculum, it's the same core materials, just organized differently, and different qigongs too. I think that Master Chia has Microcosmic Orbit (with inner smile and healing) sounds, Fusion, and Healing Love as their own formulas, while Michael has them categorized as part of Formula 1.
As to the correlation of the Palaces and Stars, I do not know if that's the case (but i'm not saying it's not the case). Many traditional Taoists say there are 9 levels, but some also don't really number the levels, some have other numbers, etc. I also found it interesting that 7 is a very important number is Western alchemy, where the process of dissolving and binding is done seven times, but i do not know if that was an intentional correlation.
