Immortality

Dear Master Logray, Thank you for your response. Can these three latter versions be identified by a certain name? I'm aware of the following denominators: Mawangtui, Fuyi, Suotan, Wangpi, and Kuotien Thank you, Immortality

Immortality

Through the Tao we find all virtue, yet its way is indistinct. In all form it resides, within all things, deep and quiet, unnoticed like the night. It is the essence of all things. unnoticed yet substantial, weaving through all moments in time. Its nature beyond space and time, it reaches all things. It is through this that I know the many and the rare

This is also my obstacle with many of the Taoist cultivation forms, drawing upon help from higher sources whose purity and authenticity you cannot really confirm. I respect the practice of others, but I prefer to just rely upon the impersonal Tao and my esoteric-atheist bond with nature. I acknowledge the existence of spirits, and have alas met many evil ones, also within the Taoist spectrum. I am deeply (and respectfully) reserved in these matters. Especially because I strongly feel that adding deities and statues to Taoism was an act of lower realms, seeking to harm something pure, independent and harmonious. Allow me to make an extra bow of respect to those who believe and practice otherwise. Kindly, Immortality

Hello, May I propose the following interpretation of Tao cultivation?: Immortality

Sketch: Thank you.

A human being manifests himself on three levels: mind, body, and speech (communication). All these three qualities give direction to energy. To use one's mind, body and speech to manifest or speak in terms of this or that personal self, one generates an energy that cannot be in attunement with the transcendental Tao, divorcing oneself from its infinite sustenance and its function as a passageway into nature. This causes deep harm to one's vitality, harmony and clarity. Therefore please accept this non-introduction as my introduction. Immortality
