Taoist troll Vs Neidan gestapo, a highly anticipated production bring to you by your grandma crossing the street! (the fierce fight between Dragon and Tiger organized by the match maker)

It is very interesting, i'll look into Advaita more thoroughly, so far it immediately made me think that to take a dualist approach aiming at the integration of opposites (YinYang), a careful review of the western modern concept about body and mind or Cartesian dualism may be necessary, because this type of dualism seems to be very prone to create some kind of 'absolute self-centered systems' which by definition would build walls instead of bridges between individuals and the origin of One. If you are interested in 'babel's tower spell problems,' Ferdinand de Saussure is a good reference to think about the dualistic nature of our langage behaviours.

Your experience is inspiring, it resemble a blossoming without obstructions. I don't know how to call the beautiful diversity of experiences coming to a same realization, if you have an idea please tell me ! 😊

氣龍, 你怎麼不知道鯉魚在聽? 😋

Xing, Ming and social nature can't be considered separatedly practically speaking because together they form a continuum. Cultivation is the cultivation of everything as one, because you can't cut an individual into pieces to cultivate its parts separatedly. Still, the ratio question is important, so how much and where ? Without knowing the proper ratio per sections of the continuum, how to know what we are doing knowing that this continuum has actually much more than 3 sections ?

Yes, chapter 77. As you may know already, in times of food shortage bigger animals which need to eat a lot disapear first, those who survive are the smaller ones, those very tough and consuming the least energy to achieve the highest efficiency for survival. But what these bigger energy-greedy animals feed on in the first place ? On smaller animals hoping to grow bigger themselves !

無理更必爭😁

Isn't the Way always about letting something return to the nature, to let the nature govern? But we are human beings, always trying to rule over everything and everyone, thinking we are the best, the smartest, the only one to be right... To let the nature rule so that nothing is left unattended must really be a very long and difficult Way to follow, a real painful struggle to go through. Different teachings, different teachers, different learners...all forgetting to bow together as one to the nature, the only legitimate master and owner of truth for all living beings. 天之道, 損有餘而補不足. 人之道, 則不然, 損不足以, 奉有餘. How to let the Way of the nature re-order our human ways so that they return to the nature's norm?

Thank you so much for your honesty 🌳 Very broadly even.

性 and 命 belong to 道 category. No matter what we do, even discussing here, we are applying them. What one will learn from a teacher is how to apply them (for whom purposes is another problem), so a criteria could be wether one as recieved own practice formula already or not.

Who or what fixed the correct terminology and meanings originally ?

Exactly. By definition, traditional knowlege transmission won't happen outside real human relationships between one generation and the next. What i don't understand is why knowlege about 性 and 命 should be exclusive to Neidan ? Taoism is to flexible and versatile for that.
