Yeah, it may be does the search through the Bums and takes ChiDragon' posts as the truth and then recommends it back to ChiDragon. Then he will say to all of us: "You see, I was right, AI is telling the same things that I say!"

and can transmit the yuan Qi

No problem, just do what you you think is right for you, no stress! But you cant be Daoist if you do not practice any methods of any authentic Daoist school. I see a trend here of people who essentially have no connection to Daoist practices trying to capture the attention of other people in this section of the forum. They are simply inventing their own methods, creating their own texts, and following them. Moreover, they encourage others to do the same. It's a personal choice for each individual. However, there is a section dedicated to esoteric methods. Wouldn't it be better to share their musings there, rather than cluttering this section of the forum?

From Chinese translation was done by D. Artemiev who is the personal student of Teacher Of Single Yang. Also he was the personal student of Evgeny Torchinov who was an expert in Chinese (including ancient Chinese) and published a few books on Buddhism and Daoism. At least he knows methods of a few Daoist Pai's. Who are you and what is your background in any Daoist school? If you mean that Neidan is all about how to breath AIR into "lower dantien" lets just say you need to have it first and also i wonder how you get air into there and what it can do from neidan perspective.

Alright, so you want to say that Daoist scriptures mislead people too and here we have only you who knows all the Truth? Why to ask the AI in such the case?

Yes, indeed, if you look at people's heart-minds states and the fact that they are not even interested in any alchemy work - that's the problem. Why you think Daoists did not leave behind clear and straight explanation of Neidan?

Sorry, my reaction to your posts related to your statements that neidan is a form of qigong. I gave explanations of their difference many times in different threads. Read the article here https://all-dao.com/difference-qigong-alchemy.html

The method is not transmitted through texts, but only through personal contact with a teacher. Texts serve as a brief cheat sheet so that future generations have reference points for what neidan is. I assume that the teachers of the past anticipated future turbulent times and left behind a legacy in the form of these cheat sheets, where the method is described only in symbolic form. It is not described anywhere in the books, to prevent anyone from having the desire to invent their own methods, which would lead to deviations. These methods are only passed on to those who have the Destiny. Most often, Chinese people pass them on only to other Chinese, sometimes to other Asians, and very rarely to Westerners. What is described in books is just a small, distorted part of neidan. Often, Chinese people share some information with Westerners due to commercial interests, but they do not share everything. Therefore, it is foolish to expect a complete description in open sources

Okey, what is your translation, please translate it for us. Compare with what - with your understanding of it? I understand what is criticized there and why. The main idea is that it should not be done from "egoistic" state of mind like "I" breath air into part of MY body, - the main problem that often people associate themselves with mind-ego and their body and trying to practice from egoistic dual mind state. But there are some requirements for real neidan work. Majority of qigong people do simple calisthenics or stupid anus muscle compression work.

Please read the following thread

I thought the OP was about Neidan. It seems to me you dont see the difference between neidan and qigong

Okey, but what pai methods are you going to practice? Any specific one or just "ldt breathing"? So you probably think that neidan is smth like modern yoga, for example: breath into dantien, tighten up anus, breath out, enjoy. Correct?

I personally caught it in a lie a few times when this GPT made up texts which in fact dont even exist. Also it gives incorrect explanations of texts and it does not matter how it happens. In fact it cant substitute a teacher As for good yangshengong methods I can recommend the following: taichi chih, shibashi, temple style taiji, flying phoenix chikung 1st level, chen style taiji is also good. But it depends on how your teacher explains it to you, no warranty you will receive proper instructions in it

They’re used to crashing through locked doors, A blackened shadow weighs upon their hearts. The word forgive is foreign to them now This world has long been beyond anyone’s rescue. And in every stare there’s a glass-cold chill Freedom here has long been killed. We’ve lost all that we once had found, And only one slogan echoes: sit down and don’t make a sound. [Chorus] I close the window of my home, I don’t want to watch this madhouse anymore. In this city, seas of blinding lights Just don’t pity your fate tonight. I close the window of my home, I don’t want to watch this madhouse anymore. In this city, seas of blinding lights— Just don’t pity your fate tonight. [Verse] A cold wind hums through steel-strung wires, This feeling bears the name of fear. You’ll never forget it, not ever again Your life feels clenched in someone else’s hands. A name was wiped off the wall yesterday, Someone cried freedom and silence replied. The bright morning light sparked in the glass; Someone spoke the truth and now he’s gone.

No, AI is telling lie to you. Preserving jing is Yangshengong goal but not Neidan.

Alexander Blok - 1899 ______________________________ To where Heaven joins the Ocean, In one uncertain, drifting seam— Beyond the veils of distant mists My spirit carries its true dream… [Verse] Yet still I know — toward that pale boundary It is my inner quest that flows; With Heaven’s clear and silent Vastness My single soul in oneness grows… [Chorus] Ah, if you, Eternal Weaver Of Heaven’s Way and all that lives, Would grant a wonder to your children And bestow immortal wings to mortals’ striving selves!

accursed spirit = po; field = tien = tian

With the use of AI you can reach the AI (artificial immortality). I have not heard someone has achieved it but who knows may be you will be the first one in history who will achieve it.

What is the "local cosmos" in daoist terms? I think you'd better participate in "Esoteric and Occult Discussion".

Daoist techniques or just "esoteric" ones? Do you see any distinctions between them?

Well, I am not sure CMC taiji is alchemical. I think it is yangshengong at the best. So there are no stages in it. May be they can develop LDT and then it would be that stage I mentioned above. I mean first major stage, but one can invent dozens of degrees like relax shoulders, neck, close your eyes and breath deeply... Better to read Daoist classic text I think he meant opening 8 extraordinary channels but this is not the stage, this is a requirement for stage one to happen. Not sure what he meant by this. What qi should be sunk? If LDT has not been built yet how to sink qi there? May be he meant that "fire" should be sunk?

May I ask what Daoist method/school you practiced then (and now)?

It is not a stage, just requirement. IMO the first stage is: from Huiming - jing - one of the Wuliupai texts
