Five Levels of Daoist Immortality - the Way You Practice Determines What You Become

In the Zhong-Lu Chuandao Ji 钟吕传道集 Zhongli Quan outlines a hierarchy of five levels of Daoist immortality to Lu Dongbin. The way you practice determines what you become. Incorrect and hasty practice leads to the undesirable status of Ghost Immortal. Achieving mastery over the energies of the body (sometimes referred to as ming gong 命功) and partial progress in the stages of inner alchemy (neidan 内丹) can lead to the status of Human Immortal or even Earth Immortal. Achieving the advanced stages of inner alchemy along with moral cultivation can lead to the status of Spirit Immortal or even Celestial Immortal. 00:30 - Five levels of Daoist immortality 01:19 - Ghost Immortal 02:07 - Human Immortal & Earth Immortal 03:16 - Spirit Immortal & Celestial Immortal 04:24 - Type of practice to become Spirit/Celestial Immortal Notes: 03:46 - The Six Shen Powers (Liu Shentong) There are various versions of the Six Shen Powers.
