According to Master Ludongbin (吕洞宾), Daoist master from the Tang Dynasty (8th century A.D.), there are 5 types of immortals: Ghost Immortal (鬼仙), Human Immortal (人仙), Earth Immortal (地仙), Spirit Immortal (神仙), and Heaven Immortal (天仙).

 

 

Guǐxiān (鬼仙—"Ghost Immortal"): A person who cultivates too much yin energy. These immortals are likened to Vampires because they drain the life essence of the living, much like the fox spirit. Ghost immortals do not leave the realm of ghosts.

 

Rénxiān (人仙—Human Immortal”): Humans have an equal balance of yin and yang energies, so they have the potential of becoming either a ghost or immortal. Although they continue to hunger and thirst and require clothing and shelter like a normal human, these immortals do not suffer from aging or sickness. Human immortals do not leave the realm of humans. There are many sub-classes of human immortals.

 

Dìxiān (地仙—“Earth Immortal”): When the yin is transformed into the pure yang, a true immortal body will emerge that does not need food, drink, clothing or shelter and is not affected by hot or cold temperatures. Earth immortals do not leave the realm of earth. These immortals are forced to stay on earth until they shed their human form.

 

Shénxiān (神仙—"Spirit Immortal"): The immortal body of the earthbound class will eventually change into vapor through further practice. They have supernatural powers and can take on the shape of any object. These immortals must remain on earth acquiring merit by teaching mankind about the Tao. Spirit immortals do not leave the realm of spirits. Once enough merit is accumulated, they are called to heaven by a celestial decree.

 

Tiānxiān (天仙—“Celestial Immortal”): Spirit immortals who are summoned to heaven are given the minor office of water realm judge. Over time, they are promoted to oversee the earth realm and finally become administrators of the celestial realm. These immortals have the power to travel back and forth between the earthly and celestial realms.

 

 

 

這種說法不是呂洞賓說的，而是造假的鍾呂傳道集說的

This statement is not from Lu Dongbin, but from the fake Zhong Lu preaching

so there is a shen higher than yang shen? Yang shen is a vehicle not an energy. So I thought the vehicles of immortality roughly infers immortality.

 

在參同契裡面，陽神指的是日魂，也就是烏肝

 

In Shentongqi, Yangshen refers to the soul of the sun, that is, black liver

I cannot think of a better word than "Immortal" too.  The "Spiritual Foetus" has a philosophical problem.  Let say a person develops it, so does it mean there are 2 of him?   What happens if the body is dead, then the person is dead or not?   A dead body means no immortality and a person's spirit is believed to be still exist for a long time.  So what is the difference with normal person?  a normal consciousness or higher power in spiritual form?

 

According to folklore, most of the immortals "liberated by corpse" when they leave the world.  Only a handful turned into immortals with bodies - outright transformation.  It seems to be much more difficult.  There is another scenario whereby an immortal can vaporize and resemble into human form.

 

我也很想知道怎麼回事
