  1. I'm looking preferably for direct quotes mentioning the involvement of Hun and Po in the neidan process. Their concepts seem so abstract that it's hard to understand what their function is. Sorry if this has been asked before, I tried searching but it seems the search function doesn't work? It returns with zero results when searching 'Hun and Po'.
  2. The decision of Hexagram 1: 元亨利贞 (yuán hēng lì zhēn). This is a highly mysterious phrase, appearing often throughout the Yijing. 元 (yuán) - the early meaning was that of a head. 亨 (hēng) - prosperity, success? 利 (lì) - Shaughnessy tells us it originally represented a sharp knife harvesting grain. Later it took on the meaning of 'sharp' as in 'intelligent'. 贞 (zhēn) - loyalty?

I don't have any experience with meditation or actual practical daoist spiritual training. I was wondering when will I be able to view the personal practice discussions of others? When I try to access anyone's personal practice diary, it says I don't have permission to view this content? Thanks for reading
