Immortality Begins with Becoming a Master Refiner

Heaven and Earth are the furnace, creation the craft; yin and yang the coals, and all things the metal! Heavenly craftsmanship, the work of gods and spirits, follows the supreme principles of the Great Way. As the saying goes, that which is above form is called the Way, while that which is below form is called a vessel. A vessel carries the Way, and its meaning is entrusted to the heart. Those who grasp the highest attain divinity and longevity; those who grasp the middle achieve success in the Way; those who grasp the lowest master ingenious but trivial skills.
