Oh ?  My health ?  lets re run this in case you were not following yourself .  

 

Our own home grown Homer here , first posts some  comment about 'guessing ' what alchemy is .  

 

I observe people here dont seem to want to know what it is  or there is ignorance about what it is . 

 

And then Homer pipes up and says  it is a sign of intelligence  not to comment if you dont know what it is ..... but he just commented  on what it was without knowing the definition . 

 

I never seen any one 'step in it '  so efficiently !   And you dont even seem to realise  when you step in it .

 

  

 

And when its pointed out he moans I am being  'unnecessarily negative '         

 

Dude !  .... I mean ....  ''Bruh ''  ... you crack me up  !  

 

.

 

 

I only commented on eastern alchemy.

 

Not eastern internal alchemy.

 

So nah.

[Nungali]

''   I guess I might say western alchemy is Sir Isaac Newton exposing himself to toxic levels of mercury attempting to refine a philosopher's stone (elixir). '' 

 

Thats   ^   you '' Bruh ''  

 

Now both feet are in it      

 

 

[Nungali]

... if you ever go to court 

 

do not say anything ! 

 

get a lawyer !

This guy so unnecessarily negative.

 

 

[Nungali]

So ,   pointing out what YOU said is being 'unnecessarily negative ' ? 

 

 

Keep em coming big fella !

A lot of people, I would say certainly not a minority, are in cultivation and "esoteric practices" purely for their egos.
That feeling of being or thinking yourself to be special, despite any internal flaws. You could be obese, sitting on a couch drinking beer all day, but because you are a member of a "prominent" internal arts school, and realized the "truth" of enlightenment, you are still the chosen one. No need to change yourself at all. Your Dao accepts all imperfection. Your bald, obese, tattooed all over, cigar-smoking, drug addict teacher, who is also a superpowerful secret martial arts master (that never once fought in his life) and hidden sage with wisdom pearls putting bs generator to shame, is once again proving it for you.

Yeah, it is like here the guy has ingested the bottle of Elixir and now ready to flow

The worst thing when comparing traditions is that we have to understand how terms are defined in that tradition. Which is funny, there was just some posts about how definitions of terms were a bad thing. 😁

But we are in "Daosit discussion" section of TDB. Not sure if you are aware of it. So, if I am wrong then just try to point out where exatly, and which part of you dying at which stage of real Alchemy. I have some experience of this sort but it was some Ego produced feeling of "dying" and I think it was some entity leaving my energy field. In such a case they can produce fear that this you who is dying and losing control.

Well, I am aware of it. 

And if your point is that in the daoist section, people making comparison with other (dis)similar methods could be more open to the differences, and that their methods will be compared to the daoist methods,  I'm with you.

Well, only if these people can explain what is the pill in both traditions then it makes sense, otherwise it is just idle talking

[Forestgreen]

Does neidan make sense, until someone tells you what stuff really means?

[ChiDragon]

Neidan is an internal method, I believe it works if practiced properly. It is only a ancient Taoist concept. If one understand the concept and practiced, one will be benefited. Otherwise, one may know the concept but do not understand it will not be benefited.
