Taoist Texts

it is only apt for neidan to be discussed in fantasy terms https://modao-zushi.fandom.com/wiki/Golden_Core come to think about it thats what neidan always was, right from the get-go

greed

The Vedas have been orally transmitted since the 2nd millennium BCE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedas Buddha was born in B.C. 560 and died at the age of eighty in B.C. 480.

i know. lots of well-intended people think that something can be created out of nothing. they look surprised when they try and get nothing instead of something.

something non-existent must be cultivated. that makes total sense.

unfortunately it is not clear what this poem even means. Also it is not a taoist poem but a Chan one 后来龙互禅师乃云：人情浓厚道情微，道用人情世岂知。空有人情无道用，人情能得几多时。」 https://ctext.org/wiki.pl?if=gb&chapter=243859&remap=gb

Right. This is not a part of the original book. The intro comes from the translator Charles Luke who did not really understand the subject matter. I would not worry about this.

sure thing. take a look at these two posts pls: https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/40543-misconceptions-of-qigong-neidan-alchemy-20/?do=findComment&comment=676088 https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/40543-misconceptions-of-qigong-neidan-alchemy-20/?do=findComment&comment=676087

But then again, these names and locations do not matter the least bit. Because they take your money but hide from you what is really to be done with these dantians.

of course it can https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koro_(medicine) if you copy that passage i will look at it, let you know in general yes you can read this. It is about the same exercise as the chpt 1, from a different prospective https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_of_the_Golden_Flower http://thesecretofthegoldenflower.com/index.html

mine;) not 'the yang', "the yang thing" which is an euphemism for penis. 'rising'='erection'. and erection is bad because it leaks the yang qi yes. literally having no thoughts in the meditative state. It is believed that when the organ is fully drawn back into the abdomen the male practiser has no leakage of yang qi. When drawn in the male practiser's anatomy resembles that of a stallion whose penis is drawn into a sheath when not erect https://horses.extension.org/stallion-anatomy-exam/

very good. excellent. thats why the western Buddhists come up with these peculiar ideas. nice people they are but confused something fierce.

hmmm, no. i am certain you know of this trick where to understand a concept you have to take it to the extreme. now instead of 'anything' substitute 'crack'. as in 'crack is whack'. see how it works out now.

this is a garbled translation this is a correct one tell me if the correct one answers your questions

great minds think alike. Thanks guys. I just thought it is a from a book or a guru. It sounded like something a guru would say

very strangely, it means the opposite of that. who could come up with this out outlandish idea. buddhists say the damnedest things.

but where is this strange idea comes from? so strange.

you should expect MCO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcosmic_orbit good thanks. working on my MCO. gotta keep it rotating!

thats an impressive achievement. What is the next level going to be?

nah, it is for 21 and older

Did you go to damo Mitchell and learn under his guidance? Care to share what did you learn?

thats the official story yes. but given that the craft of writing is mentioned multiple times in the canon it is highly unlikely that nothing of living Buddha's preaching was written down

the current lighting the LED comes from the difference of electric potentials between your body and the ground, not from your body antenna picking up EM because the body would fully absorb the EM energy pls see above. a living body cannot transform EM into current. A body can accumulate the static electricity though, which is different from EM

this is not what you said first at all. Its the opposite of what you said first First you said that De is the result of Xing - Ming interaction. Now you say that it does not. Now you admit that of course De exists regardless of any Xing - Ming interaction. You keep making conflicting statements. It is not clear what does this even mean. Does this imply that the amount of "De is the result of Xing - Ming interaction"?
