  8. "My kingdom is not of this world"

    We all have differing views and differing experience. This makes it very difficult to discuss spirituality.
  9. What constitutes Taoist alchemy?

    Your successful positive spiritual development is achieved when your jing transforms into a spiritual makeup even "finer" and then even "finer," ad finitum. People can easily get jing stuck in their head, or create blockages with some practices, as we've heard from many a newbie post at tdb. I would not suggest to anyone to cultivate jing saturation. Refinement is the ultimate goal of ancient immortal taoist alchemy that Lu Dong Bin practiced (there are many types of taoist alchemy on the market). Take your root/your base/your foundational energy and sublimate it into a fine spiritual shen essence that can safely live in your head. This is what the Secret of the Golden Flower speaks of. This is what Jesus means when he talks about the kingdom of heaven. This is the achievement to work towards if you truly wish to accomplish something meaningful in this lifetime.

  11. thelerner, why mimic Nature with techniques when you can just follow her? I never did do astral...
  12. "My kingdom is not of this world"

    Some ten thousand creations may exist, but there is a spiritual kingdom beyond the ONE that very few will experience in their lifetime. This is to what Jesus was referring. Jesus doesn't mean that there is a separation. He's just reporting the truth from his own experience.
