And this is because, then as now, #Buddhism, #Daoism, #Islam, etc. are mainly considered as curiosities, religious groups whose sayings and practices we can mis-appropriate with abandon.

Neidan is profound.
But much of what is called “Internal Alchemy” today… isn’t.
Confusion about dantian.
Confusion about timing.
Confusion about what real practice requires.
On Friday: common misconceptions—and why they matter.

Zhuangzi was invited to power and refused.
Why choose mud over a palace?
Because freedom is worth more than honor.

What makes a real Chinese lineage?
Transmission is a living thread — guarded, embodied, and passed on within a gate (門 men).
Who stands inside? Who remains outside?

Many speak about “lineage.”
Few understand what it actually requires.
It is not a certificate.
Not a photo.
Not a story.
On Friday: what transmission really means — and why the “gate” matters.

It became slow.

Neidan is not an exercise you “do.”
Qigong may improve health.
Internal alchemy transforms how you live.
It is not a temporary practice, but a continuous refinement.

Golden Cinnabar Letters I
Neidan (內丹) means “internal cinnabar.”
It arose when external alchemy (waidan 外丹) shifted from refining minerals to refining the body.

Painting of two Chinese sages.
Today on #HoPWaG, we look at the variety of presentations (and names) of Confucius in the "Zhuangzi." What do these portrayal's tell us about Daoist attitudes towards Confucianism?

Cucuteni-Trypillia pottery displaying a spiral Yin/Yang symbol
Cucuteni-Trypillia pottery house, adorned with two spiral Yin/Yang symbols.
As it turns out, the European Cucuteni-Trypillia culture invented the #Taiji (or 'Yin/Yang) symbol a thousand years before its earliest appearance in China.

People often say that #Daoism rejects the idea of good and evil or (even worse) that Daoism recommends a balance between them.
It's less misleading to say that, for Daoism, good is balance (between light and dark, masculine and feminine, active and passive) and evil is imbalance.
