Breaking Through the Barriers of Darkness: Recognizing the Cult of Qigong for What It Is: Chapter 5: "Also, according to the Zhi Bei You, "The Emperor said, 'Wu si wu lu shi zhi dao, wu chu wu fu shi an dao, wu cong wu dao shi de dao.'" ("When you have no selfish desires or concerns, you will know Tao. When you are bound to no place or duty, you will feel at home with Tao. When you follow no rules or methods, you will obtain Tao.") This describes the process of practicing. When you have given up all selfish desires, you then begin to know "Tao." When you are not bound by anything and yet do not do anything, you can keep "Tao." When you do not seek "Tao" through any means or ways, you have obtained "Tao." This process is the same as that of Buddhist and qigong training. From the Buddhist cutting off of "the six roots" (six human desires) to the relaxing, diving into quiet, and getting rid of distracting thoughts taught by qigong, from Buddhist attentive and willing training to the renouncing of worldly affairs and long-time practice encouraged by qigong, finally from the Buddhist "realm of void" after "sudden awakening" to "man's twenty-four-hour connection with the energy of the universe," which is actually staying in a qigong state twenty-four hours a day—these are all completely identical processes of principles, even though from different approaches. They all have the same result, which is reaching the realm of union with evil spirits.
During the process of Taoist training, a lot of things will happen to destroy the happiness of life. Such things happen often. And because the practitioners do not have time and the mood to do things that should be done, they lose more and more in life, so that they can desire less and less and have a quiet heart, having really nothing much to do. This is so-called the "realm of doing nothing." If practitioners continue their training, they may obtain "Tao" and reach the highest realm of "heaven and man united as one, Tao and me united as one." At this time the practitioners will begin to acquire powerful supernormal capabilities for performing magical signs of all sorts, as if there is nothing that cannot be done. This shows that the evil spirits have become one with the practitioner. Qigong practitioners, especially of very high levels, have deep experiences of this phenomenon."
