It cannot be perceived but it can be observed in the things of the world. Although it gives rise to all being, it does not itself have a being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might be more helpful to regard Tao as a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/blog\/post\/edit\/3718099119877372482\/4819463248280703069#\">system of guidance<\/a>.

The idea is that the Taoist draws closer and closer to nature throughout his or her life and death is just the final step in achieving complete unity with the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spiritual immortality, the goal of Taoism, raises the practices to a yet higher level. To attain it, people have to transform all their qi into primordial qi and proceed to refine it to subtler levels. This finer qi will eventually turn into pure spirit, with which practitioners increasingly identify to become transcendent spirit-people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The path that leads there involves intensive meditation and trance training as well as more radical forms of diet and other longevity practices. Immortality implies the overcoming of the natural tendencies of the body and its transformation into a different kind of qi-constellation. The result is a bypassing of death so that the end of the body has no impact on the continuation of the spirit-person. In addition, practitioners attain supersensory powers and eventually gain residence in wondrous otherworldly paradises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Knowledge_and_relativity\"><\/span>&nbsp;<strong>Knowledge and relativity<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Human knowledge is always partial and affected by the standpoint of the person claiming that knowledge.
