"There is nothing true anywhere, the True is nowhere to be found. If you say you see the True, this seeing is not the true one. When the True is left to itself, there is nothing false in it for it is Mind itself. When mind in itself is not liberated from the false, there is nothing true, nowhere is the truth to be found." - from The Sutra of Huineng

The secret of the receptive
Must be sought in stillness;
Within stillness there remains
The potential for action.
If you force empty sitting,
Holding dead images in mind,
The tiger runs, the dragon flees —
How can the elixir be given?

Spirit and energy should be clear as the night air;
In the soundless is the ultimate pleasure all along.
Where there's reality in illusion
Is illusion in reality,
For the while playing with magical birth
In the silver bowl.

Preserve spirit and nourish qi.
Then you will never be separated from the Wondrous.
Mysterious and again more mysterious一
In the Human body there are Seven Treasures.
Use them to support the country and pacify the people.
Then your essence, qi, and blood will be abundant.

Essence is quicksilver;
Blood is yellow gold;
Qi is beautiful jade;
Marrow is quartz;
The brain is numinous sand;
The kidneys are jade rings;
And the heart is a glittering gem.
These are the Seven Treasures—
Keep them firmly in your body, never letting them disperse.
Refine them into the great medicine of life.
Then with all the ten thousand spirits,
You will ascend to the immortal realms.

The Way is one of becoming a True Human Being, a person of innate Virtue, Nobility, a Royal Soul and Spirit worthy of the Highest Realms. The point of the retreats, the protocols becomes on of establishing Integrity. One has to learn to trust the self, and only then can they respect and love the Self. Only such a person is capable of loving and respecting others. The Way is to achieve a tranquil Heart Mind that build this Trust, Respect and Love of Self that allows for the conditions of Primordial Qi to arise, for sponatenous healing, for radical transmutation and progress. Otherwise, one stays stagnant and trapped in the habits, the ruts, the snares of their own hellish self-constructed prison. To Nourish Life is to feed this essential Soul, to Nourish energy, essence and spirit and refine this with the skillful methods of life as Art and the Art of Life.

Buliang Yi’卜梁倚 describes the progress of the Primordial Individuation of Nine Days, relating to the Nine Heavens and Nine Elixirs under the guidance of Nüyu 女偊:
After three days, he was able to put the world outside himself Once he could do this, I continued my support and after seven days, he was able to put beings outside himself. Once he could do this, I continued my support, and after nine days, he was able to put life outside himself.
Once he could do this, he achieved the brightness of dawn, and after this, he could see his own aloneness. After he had managed to see his own
aloneness, he could do away with past and present, and after that, he was able to enter [a state of] no life and no death.

The Transformations of the Tao
The Tao is transformed into v***r; v***r is transformed into blood; blood is
transformed into form; form is transformed into things; and things are in
turn transformed into other things. All transformations can be traced back to
the One. Spirit is a manifestation of the One. When v***r is impure, the
spirit will be evil; when v***r is pure, the spirit will be bright. Feelings can
be transformed into non-feelings, and non-feelings can be transformed into
feelings. This is because they both originate from the same v***r. Although
things appear different, they all come from the same source. Observe the
great transformation at the beginning of creation and you will understand
the meaning of the formless and the nameless.

When my heart is orderly, my senses are orderly;
When my heart is peaceful, my senses are peaceful.
What sets them in order is the heart-mind;
What makes them peaceful is the heart-mind.
The heart-mind conceals another heart-mind.
Within the center of the heart-mind, there is another heart-mind.
In this heart of the heart-mind,
There is a resonance (intention) which precedes words.
Resonance is followed by forms;
Forms are followed by words;
Words are followed by directives;
Directives are followed by order.
When there is disorder, there is sure to be confusion.
Confusion leads to death.Guan Zi’s Purifying the
Heart-Mind (Bai Xin), Art of the Heart-Mind (Xin Shu), and Internal
Cultivation (Nei Ye)

Huiming jing:
When life-destiny becomes active, it flows out of the body. After it becomes totally dissipated, we die. … The root of life-destiny [vital essence and/or original qi] is in the kidneys. When active, it becomes water. The root of original nature [spirit and/or true
awareness] is in the heart. When active, it becomes fire. If fire is immersed in water, wisdom and life-destiny do not depart.
