Haha, thanks Chi Dragon, you read my mind. I was just looking for something like that. I want to slowly learn and build because this is a learning to be refined for the rest of my life I believe

Hi Jadespear, I recently learnt the conversation on this site is better leaving Chia out of it. I quoted him and was surprised by the response. Puzzled, I let the matter go and read other posts, when I found others talking about Chia, that at this time unsure of him. I like to double check and verify what I'm researching anyway, so I was not too fussed to put him in the same category as Deepak, kind but not diamond cut accurate

Hiya Nungali, I was learning about Sacred Secretion from a cool teaching on YouTube with Sarah Elkhaldy and there it was said that Jung taught internal Alchemy in one of his teachings, and paid respect. I have since looked for that briefly, but moved on to Daoism. I can look into it further, or share more? Sarah knew more than other teachers about the subject and didn't rattle on about what everyone else does. In the movie 'A Dangerous Method' it is clear. But I don't actually believe labels need be permanent, that people can change and grow. Or our understanding of sadism. But not my cup of tea, I'm much too relaxed for that

Yeah, not very clear of me. Been feeling a little low lately and shows in my writing. I felt the Bhagavad Gita was talking about internal Alchemy when it said that 'it' can be obtained even if you come from a toxic womb. Was trying to phrase it more delicately, but just stuffed it up. I'll come good, had a tiring month

I realise now through reading in an other post that people have not been impressed by Chia. I only read this one thing from him recently. Boy it's hard discerning what is helpful and what is distracting. Forgetting Chia, what I have learnt so far about inner Alchemy includes for a short period of time we abstain from some indulgences to allow for subtlety.

Purpose? What's true North Not the mountain I look to, See the flock of birds.

What I gained was that the state desired to be attained, is possible despite shortcomings. It was encouraging

My mistake

These topics came up in my recent dash of research. My Dad was a psychologist, so I had heard about Jung, however my Dad studied it when Freud was the main psychologist taught, not Jung yet. Then I saw 'A Dangerous Method' after meeting a Women who instigated this film needs to be made. Learning Jung was a sadist put me off him for a while. Then looking into Alchemy I learnt Jung had kept the teaching intact, which renewed my faith in him. Magic is a broad term. I don't think Crowley was the reincarnation of Eliphas Levi, having read the History of Magic.

"In a small pot (either the lower, middle, or upper Tan Tien) we can cook all the mountains and rivers forces (natural forces), stars, moon, and sun forces (universal forces) and the primordial forces (cosmic particles) and combine them within ourselves to transform them into the higher force to form the IMMORTAL FETUS." It's the last sentence of explanation of inner Alchemy. https://www.mantakchia.com/explanation-of-the-inner-alchemy-chart/ https://images.app.goo.gl/B2x8GZ9ij6J23zXJ6

Thanks Chi Dragon, please disregard my previous comment of the Japanese pronunciation. Are you in your original post, wondering why there is a definition of chi prenatal and postnatal seperate. Could it have something to do with the Daoist term of the Immortal Fetus?

Thanks Old 3 Bob! Three days isn't quite enough, good pick up. I like your Jesus reference, not what goes into the mouth, rather what comes out, for words come from your heart. What guidance do you know, heard or read regarding choice realms? I came across the term sacred secretion surfing YouTube. But I was struggling to find out more regarding recognising it happening, and what stage in the process one is in. Daoism gave the most generous description I could find within my readily available resources. But that's not how I found this site. I found it when my research lead to Pythagoras, which lead me here.

This is the whole reason I'm on this site. From what I can tell daoist inner Alchemy is the same as what is talked about in the Bhagavad Gita that even someone from a toxic womb can attain. From what I've gathered we only need reach an alkaline state through not eating much meat, not drinking alcohol or coffee, thinking peaceful thoughts and practicing compassion for a few days. Then through conscious effort allow the process of what can be clumsily termed sacred secretion to occur. My line of investigation is how to tune into when it is going on.

There are worse things in the World than interested readers not feeling the need to add anything

I'd guess 'everything is perfect' as a misquote of gaining an appreciation of 'the isness of everything'. Probably more about a state of being than a statement that bad things are ok

On behalf of everyone, ta muchly Chi Dragon

Heya Neirong, I like your comparison of energy to money.

Muscle memory is one physical beneficial change you can expect to see from practising qigong every second day

Thanks Chi Dragon, I was thinking similar. But the distinction I was making was between exercise and meditation. However of course they help each other. Thanks Cobie, immortality could well result from internal Alchemy. The ironic part of internal Alchemy bringing wisdom is that we need to be positive and kind during the process, so in a sense we need to wise to succeed in it. But it's like holding a cup for it out of faith, then the cup is filled in part due to that faith

From theory accumulating more energy could be helpful for not only a long life but for a smoother feeling in the body. But personally I am more interested in internal Alchemy which is different to building up energy. I am on this site to learn more about, but it seems to me it's a natural process we can learn to facilitate bringing wisdom among other things

There's more than just accumulating energy. But I don't feel qualified to say more when there are qualified teachers on this site

You're welcome Cobie. It's a tricky subject

Furthermore, can we not forgive our ancestors for not being ready to practise with Women? I personally see that we can seperate politics from spirituality. I consciously choose to let go of what potential I may have had to be a politician and instead choose inner peace. And that's what this is, politics, gender politics to be exact. I love being a Women, and I believe this will heal confusion to whatever extent
