Taoism
"Many people know about the Daoist philosophies of naturalism and flow that characterize a special way of simple living in harmony with Nature. However, they are usually unfamiliar with the deeper Daoist teachings on how to become a spiritual Immortal, which is Daoism's way of signifying that you attain enlightenment. The ideal of the Daoist sage is actually symbolized by the third of the Three Pure Ones - Daode Tianzun who is also known as ""The Heavenly Worthy of Dao and Its Power."" Like the Bodhisattva of Buddhism, he symbolizes the human being who achieves enlightenment by mastering his inner Qi energy through a process that purifies and refines it to a high degree, and who then works to help mankind by using the universal powers he thereby attains.

What is the Daoist path to enlightenment? It involves climbing five non-denominational ranks of spiritual attainment or sagehood - called the stages of the Daoist Immortals (Human, Earth, Spirit, Celestial and Universal). You accomplish this by cultivating virtue and merit to become a good human being so that you are worthy of the Tao and by undertaking special cultivation exercises to purify your internal energy or Qi. If you perform the right exercises sufficiently then you will undergo a twelve-year process of internal alchemy, where your internal energy starts rotating on its own, that purifies your Qi energy sufficiently so that your spirit can finally escape its human frame as an independent life, which then initiates the true path of spiritual ascension because you then become a Daoist Immortal. You can explain the inner alchemical process using the stories of famous Daoists as well as Hindu, Christian, Tibetan, Buddhist, Sufi and other saints since they all go through the same steps of Qi refinement with minor differences.

Herein lies many of the secrets to the processes of internal alchemy that have been kept hidden from the public for centuries, as well as little-known Daoist principles on health and healing, anti-aging, repairing your physical injuries, marriage, finding a life purpose, the science of happiness, supernormal powers (such as bilocation), rain making, political and military power, the strongest astrological forces which affect the fate of mankind, martial arts, and the three dantian (and other ways) that section your body for inner energy purification exercises that you will not find in other texts."
