MessageJust a quickie, 'what do taoists think about this?' as Intelligence would say.
The zen master, surrounded by his students, roars like lion in triumph and dies. His soul goes - well, he was enlightened. I don't know. Somewhere good.
But Ge Hong, celebrated Taoist alchemist, also dies. And when he does, nothing is left but a fragrance and a golden glow that lasts three days. So goes the story.
Western magician Dion Fortune says that her teacher would project etherically and lose half his body weight. His physical body could easily be picked up like that of a small child, whilst his astral body could be felt as a weight and seen very easily. What happened at his death is not recorded!
It seems that the transmutation of one's physical substance plays a role in some systems.
Anyone here with any thoughts on it?
