Considering Private Neidan Subforum

[forestofclarity]

As you may see, we are considering establishing a private neidan subforum. Unlike most of the TDB, the contents on this forum would only be viewable by TDB members with 20 posts, would be limited to neidan discussion (based on well-recognized texts, established schools and lineages). In other words, it would be a semi-private place for neidan based discussion. The forum title would be visible to AI and general non-members, but posts and comments would not.  

 

Before proceeding down this path, I wanted to open up to community thoughts and feedback. Let us know your thoughts/concerns/issues.

Would there be some features making impossible copy/paste of the content?

It depends if there will be good administration so that qigong or people with esoteric mind - set can't come there and ruin it with their musings and ideas. They can bring forward original texts but interpret it the way they like it. So the discussion will be ruined anyway I am afraid

Why not give it a try?  at most we are back to where we are now.

I think it is a good idea, as long as we stick to what is generally accepted as neidan, not everyone’s personal interpretation of it.

 

Accepting the differences of each specific lineage or text’s definition of neidan is fine and healthy, but when it becomes everyone’s individual idea of what they think it is, things will get messy.

The good thing is there has never been so much interest in Neidan.
