Now, the problem was that the teacher wasn’t very inspiring. And you should only really be a student of a teacher if you respect the qualities their practice has given them and feel that they embody what you would like to embody. So I separated myself from the teacher but still practice the methods If I come across methods or a teacher that seems better suited for me, I will go learn under them. Until then, I am solo training. Methods are Daoist alchemical methods, but I don’t really label myself as a Daoist in particular. I’m just taking the pathway of Daoist Neidan up the mountain towards embodying divinity. If I feel that discarding the Daoist methods is what I should do, I will do that in favor of Hindu or Buddhist methods. To me, a Daoist is someone who takes a pathway up the mountain towards God and embodies infinite light and virtue. So, whether you call yourself a Buddhist, a Hindu, a Daoist, ect, doesn’t really matter. I would say I’m just a cultivator or ascendant.
