Publication name: "Metaphysics Review Express"
Founding words: Investigate things to gain knowledge, use numbers to explain mysteries; Taoism teaches all phenomena, and can be learned from reason.
Origin of this publication:
Since ancient times, the various arts of self-cultivation have been based on insights or ancient teachings. They are more than mysterious but the rules and regulations are not yet clear. Nowadays, spiritual energy is flowing and Taoism is prospering. However, each sect insists on its own opinions and has been arguing for thousands of years without resolution. This is all because the empirical evidence is not established and the public instruments do not exist. Therefore, this journal was established to create a pure Taoist place that uses mathematics and theory as a ruler and experiments as a mirror. Regardless of one's origins, one only seeks true knowledge.
Interests of this magazine:
-Don't talk about the strength of magical power, but study the calculation of the speed of escape from light;
- Regardless of the level of the elixir, observe the number of changes made by the emperor, ministers and envoys;
-Do not judge the quality of the exercises, but trace the energy consumption of the movement of the heavens;
-Don't talk about destiny and chance, but ask about the true statistics of spiritual roots and paths.
All these are based on "measurable numbers, deducible formulas, and retestable methods."
This journal adheres to:
One is empirical evidence - no conclusion can be made without observation, no statement can be made without data;
The second is logic - deductions must be linked to each other, and refuting difficulties must have roots in every sentence;
The third is openness - no matter who comes from a family of casual cultivators, all submissions will be reviewed blindly;
The fourth is contention - all articles published must be accompanied by comments, and the right and wrong are left to the common understanding of the same people.
The great road is mysterious and secluded, and cannot be glimpsed through imagination; everything is diversified, and it depends on the number of tricks to make it clear.
I would like to use this magazine as a platform to lead people of the same path to go on a long journey to inquire about the way of heaven with reason and approach the truth with clear discernment.
