  1. Most accurate Golden Flower translation?

    @Taoist Texts do you think this is true?
  2. The shadow self

    Some quotes of Jung mentioning the devil in this blog https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2020/02/02/lucifer-2/ Yes, very true in my experience.
  3. Greetings - Deeper Knowledge of Qi/Energy

    @DaoForest A very impressive background indeed. Welcome to the forum. HSK = itā€™s the Chinese proficiency tests. Level 6 = being fluent.
  4. The shadow self

    ā€œWe three, we're all aloneLiving in a memoryMy echo, my shadow, and meā€ https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/931-what-are-you-listening-to/?do=findComment&comment=1026663
  5. The Idiots Way

    .
  6. The shadow self

    Exactly.
  7. The shadow self

    Ime yin and yang both, equally disappear in total integration; itā€™s wuji again.
  8. The shadow self

    Ime integration of the shadow ends in ignition into star form; which is without separation again, wuji, the cycle restarts.
  9. The shadow self

    I agree. Yes. Itā€™s the yin side. Yes, ime itā€™s the same thing.
  10. The shadow self

    Exactly. Yes. And willpower always fails as the undesirable behaviour comes from the shadow (which willpower is unaware of). Exactly.
  11. The shadow self

    Yes, wuji (no-thing-ness) brings forth taiji (i.e. yin and yang come into existence simultaneously). wuji ē„”ꄵ wu2 ji2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuji_(philosophy) taiji å¤Ŗꄵ tai4 ji2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiji_(philosophy) Yes, äø­ ę°£ 仄 ē‚ŗ 和 zhōng qƬ yĒ wĆ©i hĆ© - blending the two primordial essences, creates harmony. (Ch 42) I agree. But I better refer you to TT on this, as he knows a lot more about it. E.g. ā€¦ [the goal of alchemy is] to join with the dao. in the process the yin is not shed, on the contrary it is gained ā€¦ā€ https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/55079-deleted/?do=findComment&comment=1021390
  12. Dao Bums (here i am)

    No.
  13. Dao Bums (here i am)

    The asking was perfectly alright by me. What I do not like is the quoting of a post that already was deleted.
  14. Dao Bums (here i am)

    Exactly, thatā€™s what I thought. So I deleted my post as irrelevant.
  15. Dao Bums (here i am)

    And I expect people to have the courtesy to not quote what already had been deleted.
  16. Dao Bums (here i am)

    He looks very high spirited in his picture. So clearly he monitors his spirit levels.
  17. Dao Bums (here i am)

    Curiosity killed the cat. I said, impressive ignored calendars. lol, thereā€™s nothing ticked off, is there? I hope now you all know that all my deleted posts are totally boring and can be forgotten about.
  18. The shadow self

    A great achievement. Great metaphor, imo ā€œblack slugā€ for Yin and ā€œcrossing the roadā€ integration of Yin with Yang. I agree. I agree.

  21. Dao Bums (here i am)

    Definitely. And I donā€™t really care what you look like; itā€™s actions that speak to me. E.g. I once deleted a post and you immediately offered to remove your quote of it. I appreciated that a lot (some donā€™t even remove the quote, even when I ask them to). So I think you are a very kind person.
  22. Newcomer

    Hi JoĆ£o (the Latin derived from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning ā€œgraced by God. @Daniel will know more about it). Wonderful you are interested in ā€œDaodejing and ZhuangzIā€. No need to watch first, jump right in. Looking forward to your posts. Welcome to the forum.
  23. Is this forum still about Taoism...?

    No you donā€™t
