The yang embryo is conceived from the fully refined shen.
Description
The yang embryo is conceived from the fully refined shen. Distinguished from the yin embryo of level 12 by containing the practitioner's awareness.
This entry is a reconstruction. The Mo Pai sources do not publish a curriculum for level 37, so what appears above is drawn from classical Taoist internal alchemy and from the shape the Mo Pai literature implies for the "The Yang Shen" band. It is a map of the territory the tradition describes, written by this archive rather than taken from the lineage.
