Everything about Wuji Philosophy totally explained
Wuji (無極) is the primordial 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 what
Tao is in chapter one of the
Tao Te Ching.
Wuji corresponds to the
Lingshan (靈山 or spiritual mountain) in Chinese
Buddhism and in the
Shengyu (聖域 or sacred territory) in
Confucianism. The range of peaks at the top of
Neijing Tu is an allegory of Lingshan.
In
Xiuzhen, 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 in
qigong.
Taiji and Transcendence
In the
Chinese creation story, Wuji took shape and became
Taiji, a state of being before creation, the world according to
Taoist 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, in
Daozang or other Taoist texts as
attaining One or Unity (得一) .
Taiji in comparison would be the ultimate truth, the world outside of the cave in Plato’s allegory of the cavern. And Taiji would be the Absolute in
metaphysics and in
teleology.
