- Wuji (philosophy)
Wuji (無極) is the state of non-being, a state of "Nothingness and boundlessness" or "that which is without Bounds or Limits". Wuji like
Tao , is and lies within all of the universe and in the human anatomy. It is the central definition to whatTao is in chapter one of theTao Te Ching . InXiuzhen , Wuji or Dao is a state of "Hunyuan Yiqi" (混元一炁) in which Hunyuan is the Chinese equivalent of "primordial", Yiqi is the "one qi" the original state of qi, together Hunyuan Yiqi is loosely the primordial qi. The state of Taiji is "Xiantian Yiqi" (先天一炁), or "pre-birth qi". Note the word Qi (炁) differs to blood circulation inqigong .Taiji and TranscendenceIn the
Chinese creation myth , Wuji took shape and becameTaiji , a state of being before creation, the world according toTaoist became intelligible and fathomable after which. Taiji may be equated to the "One", "Oneness", Unity, in chapter thirty-nine of Tao Te Ching (see text reference, inDaozang or other Taoist texts as "attaining One or Unity" (得一) [Robinet (1981), p. 16.] .Taiji in comparison would be the ultimate truth. And Taiji would be the Absolute in
metaphysics and inteleology .Notes
