MessageGreetings,
It is interesting to note that many esoteric schools of spirituality up until very recently were taught almost only as an oral tradition, and were passed down from teacher to student in a secret fashion. That we as westerners are able to learn the core formulas of a Daoist seclusion school of inner alchemy in whatever form they are passed down would have been unheard of 50 years ago, and for the past 2000 years before that.
Let me say that most of this information is NOT available in books.
The language used in most alchemical texts is couched in such poetic language that it would be hard for an unitiated person to understand, or practice from. One can get a good idea of what the practices involved from the ancient texts, but not how to do them.
Chen yu Ming, and Master Yu have shared part of their practice with us on our journeys to China (the first time this has been taught to westerners), and the beginning formulas they taught were very similar although with significant differences, to the core formulas of One Cloud.
