Level 15: Clearing the Heart
The classical requirement that shen cannot be refined in an agitated heart.
Description
The classical requirement that shen cannot be refined in an agitated heart. Emotional reactivity is treated as an energetic obstruction.
This entry is a reconstruction. The Mo Pai sources do not publish a curriculum for level 15, so what appears above is drawn from classical Taoist internal alchemy and from the shape the Mo Pai literature implies for the "The Yin Shen and Separation" band. It is a map of the territory the tradition describes, written by this archive rather than taken from the lineage.
