True, chakras can spin.

I do not feel it. I do not know any such people in real life.

True.

imo = in my opinion. I hardly know any Chinese, so like to qualify what I say. But imo : Never use pre and post heaven! 先天 innate 後天 acquired (not innate) 後天氣 = acquired qi

It does in my experience.

The characters are 先天 , that means ’innate’. To separate the characters and translate as ‘pre’ ‘heaven’ is like translating 天氣 (weather) as ‘heaven’ ‘chi’.

Very true. : )

Doesn’t 先天 mean ‘innate’? Do you not believe in ‘innate’ 氣？

That made me laugh. But to be fair to @awaken it’s very sensible imo to put people on the ignore list. I use it a lot myself. There’s only so much time in my day and I don’t want to waste it on futile arguments.

Yes, that doesn’t help in conveying the actual message.

Great, seems we are all in agreement on this.

I think it’s always best to first and foremost apply this to oneself.

Yes, that’s my experience too. : )

Yes, that makes sense. I too use two modes, one for ’doing’ and one for ‘being’ (but mine aren’t Confucianism & Taoism, I do my own thing). Glad to meet you too FreeToChoose. : ) Welcome to the forum.

Takes me ages to read one line, lol, so work in progress. But I do like this: 強調自學, 不需要老師

先天 | 氣 xiān tiān qì - innate | spirit 後天 | 氣 hòu tiān qì - acquired (not innate) | spirit

The front page is identical to the system I use, except that my crown chakra is white and I also have a beam of light going from the root chakra to the core of the earth.

This I will not do, as the computer translations are not very good and will only confuse me.

Very true in my experience. : )

That’s amazing. Wish I knew enough Chinese to read it. The front page is identical to the system I use, except that my crown chakra is white and I also have a beam of light going from the root chakra to the core of the earth.

Enough said.

It is my opinion that Sadhguru murdered his wife after lengthy abuse of her.

Wu ji = crown chakra, pure white light. Working on the UDT, one can go either up or down. down - going from shen to qi. up - going from shen to wuji https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/54252-upper-dantian/?do=findComment&comment=996436 ~~~ chakra 脈輪 mài lún - chakra https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/53737-many-languages-one-reality/?do=findComment&comment=986265

“as I creep up”, yes, I know all about that. Welcome to the forum, enjoy. P.S. did you mean “mensch”?

To me 玄關 is reminiscent of the distinction between ‘ousia’ and ‘energeia’ in Palamite theology. Kroll 玄 xuan2 : 1. the quality of permitting the passage of light but without making visible what is on the other side … https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/53742-interesting-characters/?do=findComment&comment=985218
