Hi Tigersmouth, welcome to the forum. Hopefully the Qigong will improve your health.

That’s interesting, the Chu had “priestesses”.

That’s what I think too. See https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/53618-the-reason-why-a-person-who-only-has-qi-in-his-lower-abdomen-cant-understand the-huang-tingjing/?do=findComment&comment=982684

Yes, a bit the same here. I like to call it a Daoist ‘going with the flow’.

(my bold) I agree, in Ch 3 “其 refers not to the people” , but to the 聖人.

.

“only that you don't see it.” Lol, what bit of ~ as I see it ~ don’t you understand? “The TTC … (also) addressed the ruler “ Again, that depends on the translation. 聖人 also can be translated as ‘wise and virtuous person’. ~~~ 聖 Kroll dictionary includes the meanings: <possessing wisdom, judgement and moral excellence. a. profoundly wise and virtuous; sage(ly) >

Welcome to the forum. Seems to me you are very modest, as seems to me you have a lot of experience. Wishing you success with your exploring and practicing. : )
