"It is always necessary to call men back to history, which is the first master in politics, or more exactly the only master."

"For the average person, all problems date to World War II; for the more informed, to World War I; for the genuine historian, to the French Revolution."

Reactionaryism, also known as Reactionary or Counterrevolutionary, is a philosophy that advocates for the restoration or preservation of traditional social, political, and economic systems. It is characterized by a rejection of progressive or liberal ideas and a belief that society has become too modern or innovative.

Reactionaries argue that traditional values, such as order, tradition, and immaterialism; have been undermined or lost in modern society, and that a return to these values is necessary to restore social cohesion and stability. They also often argue that the Enlightenment, and the ideas and values associated with it, such as reason, individualism, and democracy; have had negative consequences for society, and that a return to pre-Enlightenment ways of thinking is needed.

Reactionaries have a nostalgic view of the past and romanticize or idealize certain historical periods or social structures. They are hostile to social and cultural changes, such as the rise of secularism, gender equality, and the decline of traditional religions or cultural practices.

History

[edit]

Reactionaryism started, as the name implies, as a reaction to the French Revolution; identifying as absolute monarchists opposed to the revolution. At this time, Reactionaryism organized opposition to the progressive sociopolitical and economic changes brought by the revolution; and they fought to restore the temporal authority of the Church and Crown.

In the post-Napoleonic world, Europe generally returned to its pre-revolution state, with the old French monarchy being restored. During the age of File:Metternich.png Metternich (1815-1848), Europe was generally led by conservative and reactionary leaders. These regimes were characterized as being monarchist, authoritarian, and File:CountEn.png counter-enlightenment. The reactionary state of Europe took a strong hit during the July Revolution in 1830, in which the reactionary monarchy of France was replaced by a more File:Enlightmon.png enlightened one, and then the revolutions of 1848, in which much of Europe changed towards File:Conmon.png constitutional monarchy. Throughout the second half of the 19th century only Russia remained as a dominant reactionary power under the rule of Alexander III (1881-1894) By the time WWI came the world existed in a mostly Liberal and enlightened state and reactionary ideology no longer held power. There is some debate over whether or not the Italian Fascists and German Nazis should be considered reactionaries, with proponents of fascism often claiming that they are not, while opponents claim that it is; self-described reactionaries had divergent views, with some like File:Tolkien.png J.R.R. Tolkien and File:EvKL.png Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn disliking fascism, and others like File:JuliusEvola.png Julius Evola collaborating with the Axis.

In recent times "Reactionary" tends to be used more as a pejorative by progressive and socialist political movements, but the term "neo-reactionary" has more recently been applied to, and sometimes a self-description of, an informal group of online political theorists known as the File:Nrx.png Dark Enlightenment.

File:Falun Gong Theo.png Falun Gong

[edit]

Falun Gong (法輪功) or Falun Dafa (法輪大法) is a new religious movement, known for its reactionary and anti-communist sentiment founded by Li Hongzhi in China in the early 1990s and since 1999, have been banned by the Communist Party of China, with its members actively being persecuted and arrested for their beliefs. It practices 3 core tenets:

  • File:Virtue ethics icon.png 真 (Truthfulness, zhen) - Honesty
  • 善 (Compassion, shan) - Do good things and practice virtues irl.
  • File:Pac.png 忍 (Forbearance, ren) - Do not get angry and hate people even if they do incorrect things or offend you.

Falun Gong emerged toward the end of China's "qigong boom" — a period that saw a proliferation of similar practices of meditation, and promotion of Confucian values. The movement gained widespread popularity in China throughout the 1990s and by 1999 government sources estimated that there were 70-100 million practitioners, more than there were CPC members at the time (although this number was most likely a gross overestimate). Falun Gong initially enjoyed support from the Chinese government which actively promoted the spiritual group despite its right-wing anti-communist leanings. This could be because Deng Xiaoping, after his 1992 Southern Tour, decided to drop socialism completely and fully embrace free-market capitalism and may have perceived Falun Gong due to its promotion of Confucian values as a counterbalance to the Chinese New Left and liberal opposition. The fact Falun Gong promotes itself as a healthy qigong practice that can cure diseases without one needing to take medicine may have been cost-effective and convenient for the Chinese government as China at the time lacked a proper healthcare system. And there have been lots of cases where practicing Falun Gong cured diseases, but many of these cases were not published to the public and remain as stories of miracles that are told between other practitioners, family, and friends. And Falun Gong believes the proper term is “cleansing the body”, as they see the ultimate goal of curing the diseases is to make spiritual progress and they refuse to just cure anybody who doesn’t want to practice Falun Gong long-term and are just here for curing. In 1995, Li Hongzhi declared that he had finished teaching Falun Gong in China, and began spreading the practice abroad. Between 1995 and 1999, Li traveled the world giving lectures on his beliefs wherever he went. Falun Gong associations and clubs began appearing all throughout Europe, North America, and Australia. Li Hongzhi moved to the United States in 1996 with his wife and daughter, and in 1998 became a U.S. permanent resident, settling in New York, where Falun Gong's headquarters remain to this day. The Chinese government under President

File:JiangZemin.png Jiang Zemin had little to no support due to mass poverty, corruption, nepotism, and repression by state officials which fueled the popularity of Falun Gong which many perceived as an escape from the bitter reality. Jiang Zemin came to perceive the spiritual group as a threat to his power as an increasing number of CPC officials (Possibly including future President Xi Jinping) actively practiced or sympathized with Falun Gong themselves. Jiang Zemin started a campaign against Falun Gong, labeling it as an “evil cult” and stirring up the public against it by playing propaganda and fake news across all the TV stations and newspapers in China.

On 25 April 1999, about 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners gathered near the central appeals office in Beijing to demand an end to the escalating harassment against the movement, and on 29 July the same year, Falun Gong was banned by the Central Government. The persecution of Falun Gong enabled Jiang Zemin to seize control of media, police, and the military to eliminate dissent. He even went so far as to create his own paramilitary organization called the “610 Office” to persecute the spiritual group. Re-education through labor, Laojiao, rapidly expanded with hundreds of camps being built all across the country to jail Falun Gong practitioners and other dissidents.

The persecution of Falun Gong gave Jiang Zemin unprecedented powers and made it easier for him to maintain a high level of influence over Party politics after his term ended in 2004 when he was forced to formally hand over power to the new Paramount Leader Hu Jintao. Local officials often competed to arrest as many Falun Gong practitioners as possible to show their loyalty to Jiang's faction. The Governor of Liaoning, Bo Xilai, was one of the leading officials in the Anti-Falun Gong campaign which made it easier for him to rise through the ranks of the Party. The anti-Falun Gong propaganda includes a staged suicide video by the CCP (which was broadcasted to every single TV station at one point), accusing criminals of practicing Falun Gong and letting them go unpunished if they say they did, using religious puppet groups to condemn Falun Gong, and much more.

The persecution of Falun Gong caused many of its practitioners to flee China. Jiang Zemin saw this and started to tell other countries anti-Falun Gong propaganda, giving them a “black list”, which contains names of Falun Gong practitioners so they can be sent back to China if they attempt to go oversees. As there wasn’t many news about Falun Gong outside of China at the time, many countries believed Jiang Zemin. But after a while and lots of Falun Gong protests, other countries started to question Jiang Zemin’s words and eventually accepted Falun Gong. Many settled in the US where they would promote conservative anti-communist sentiment. But, due to economic pressure from China, the US and File:Cball-UN.png has failed to give Falun Gong the appropriate fundings and rights that other religious organizations have. Still though these hardships, Falun Gong manages practitioners established a vast global media network consisting of arts and entertainment company Shen Yun, the newspaper Epoch Times[19], New Tang Dynasty Television (NTD Television) broadcaster, and the YouTube channel China Uncensored, among others that promote the revival of traditional Chinese culture and negative coverage of CCP's China.

Falun Gong due to their views of the File:Chine.png ancient dynasties are believers in the mandate of heaven which stresses that when the rulers of China become too corrupt and inept to rule the Chinese people will overthrow the government and a new dynasty will take its place.

Falun Gong (among other Chinese dissident groups) alleges the CCP abroad carries out File:OrganHarvesting.png organ harvesting and torture of prisoners of conscience with the organs being sold on black markets with creditable evidence. Falun Gong practitioners abroad have signed arrest warrants for Jiang Zemin and Bo Xilai for engaging in genocide. In 2013 File:Cball-Spain.png Spain ordered the arrest of former President File:Jiang Tze-min.png Jiang Zemin meaning that he no longer can set foot in Spain without being put on trial. But not all of the west support Falun Gong, especially when the CCP started infiltrating western media. For example, in 2001 the New York Times interviewed Jiang Zemin, and after the interview, the persecution of Falun Gong was almost never talked about again on the NYT. The New York Times, since then, has also published articles filled with easily debunkable fake news with interviewings from former/rejected Shun Yun dancers instead of actual ones to try to make Shun Yun look bad (for example they accused of Shun Yun of not sending injured dancers to the hospital or let them rest, while in reality there is record of the said dancers being at the hospital/resting at home). The CCP is actively trying to get western media to portray Falun Gong as weird, intolerant, threatening, and undeserving of sympathy. CCP spies even tried to bribe the File:Tax.png IRS to cancel Shen Yun, but the spies were caught and arrested.

Falun Gong media often promote views in line with the File:RepubUS.png Republican Party and conservative politicians such as Steve Bannon, Mitch McConnell, and Lindsey Graham. This includes political stances like opposition to File:Illegal-Immigration.png illegal immigration, gun control, File:Gay.png LGBTQ+, the BLM movement, and anything left-wing or progressive. They are also very critical of "elites" of corporations such as File:Microsoft.png Bill Gates' Microsoft and Cisco which they accuse of having helped China set up their surveillance network, Great Firewall, and promoting Chinese state propaganda. Falun Gong support the File:PanGreenTW.png Democratic Progressive Party in File:Cball-Taiwan.png Taiwan over the Kuomintang which they perceive to be too friendly to CCP's interests in modern times. They're also highly supportive of other Chinese dissident organizations such as the File:Cball-Xinjiang.png World Uyghur Congress, the File:Cball-Tibet.png Central Tibetan Administration, and the Hong Kong Democracy Movement, as Falun Gong hopes the CCP will crumble.

Falun Gong media have gained widespread popularity and coverage since File:DonaldTrump.png Donald Trump's presidential campaign. The group portrays Trump as a saint-like figure sent from heaven to with a mission to destroy the Chinese Communist Party. Before 2021, anti-CCP affiliated media (including Falun Gong medias) such as China Uncensored regularly tried to portray then-presidential candidate Joe Biden and the US Democratic Party as communist sympathizers that would turn the US into a Chinese vassal state should Trump not win the 2020 Presidential Election. Since Trump lost (which the group initially denied by promoting the election fraud conspiracy) and Biden won the presidency, Falun Gong media has back-tracked on their negative coverage of the Democratic Party, and have become more neutral with Biden, as well as his VP Kamala. Though, in 2024 Trump has listed File:Cball-Taiwan.png Taiwan multiple times as a country and have tariffed China a lot to wreck its economy.

Even though former President Jiang Zemin has significantly lost influence within the Communist Party and eventually died in 2022, over the past decade due to losing the power struggle against current Paramount Leader and President Xi Jinping, Falun Gong remains illegal in China, possibly because of Xi's fear that legalizing the group would mean to admit the CCP did something wrong in the first place which would greatly polarize Chinese society.

There are various theories as to why Falun Gong was suppressed by CCP. Most explanations stem from the CCP system, such as the threatening nature of Falun Gong to CCP rule, its independence from the PRC, and the internal politics of the CCP.

Some scholars argue that Falun Gong is at odds with CCP's atheistic political ideology. Falun Gong's belief system is based on traditional Chinese Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and is therefore not bound by CCP laws but only by morality. Falun Gong's beliefs represent a revival of traditional Chinese religion, a challenge to the legitimacy (mainly in morals) of the CCP regime, and a threat to the CCP's right to interpret history, and can be seen as an ideological enemy of the CCP, and therefore subject to purge.

It is also worth noting that, in China, the claims of Falun Gong being a cult (邪教) only exist in party resolutions, and have not been legitimized by China's own law systems. And, in two official documents issued by the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China in 2000 and 2005, Falun Gong was not included in the list of 14 cults identified.

Freikorps were anti-communist and anti-socialist paramilitaries during early days of the Weimar Republic.

Majority of them were supportive of abolished monarchy and wanted to restore it.

File:Revolutionary Conservatism.png Conservative Revolution

[edit]

Conservative Revolution was the authoritarian, nationalist, File:Mil.png militarist and File:CountEn.png anti-Enlightment movement in Weimar Republic between 1918 and 1933.

Their connection to Nazism was complex. Some saw them as a step towards fascism, but they were not the same. They didn't all believe in Nazi ideas about race. While they helped pave the way for the Nazis, they didn't have much influence on them. When the Nazis took over, most Conservative Revolutionaries were either killed or rejected the Nazi regime.

Later, their ideas influenced movements like the European New Right, which includes groups like the French Nouvelle Droite and German Neue Rechte. These ideas are still influential today, shaping movements like the European Identitarian movement.

New Nationalism and Morality

[edit]

Conservative Revolutionaries believed their nationalism differed significantly from previous forms of German nationalism and conservatism. They criticized traditional Wilhelmine conservatives for being reactionary and failing to grasp modern concepts like technology, urbanization, and the working class.

Moeller van den Bruck described Conservative Revolution as preserving values inseparable from the Volk (ethnic group), which endure through time due to adaptations in their institutional and ideal forms. Unlike pure reactionaries or revolutionaries, Conservative Revolutionaries aimed to shape eternal values to ensure their survival amid historical changes. Edgar Jung rejected the notion that true conservatives aimed to halt progress. They sought a chivalric way of life guided by innate morality rather than a conscious moral code. Conservative revolutionaries aimed to restore natural laws and values within the modern world.

Influenced by Nietzsche, many rejected Christian ethics of solidarity and equality, viewing them as oppressive to the strong. They advocated for nations to prioritize self-interest over moral standards in geopolitics. Völkischen, influenced by racialist and occultist beliefs, opposed Christianity and sought a return to Germanic pagan faith or the adaptation of Christianity to remove foreign influences.

Volksgemeinschaft and Dictatorship

[edit]

Thomas Mann believed that German resistance during World War I was stronger militarily than spiritually because the German essence couldn't easily express itself verbally, making it difficult to counter Western rhetoric effectively. He argued that German culture was deeply rooted in the soul and thus authoritarian rule was natural for Germans, as politics and democracy were seen as foreign to their spirit. Mann's ideas influenced Conservative Revolutionaries, although he later defended the Weimar Republic and criticized figures associated with the movement.

Carl Schmitt, in his essay "The Dictatorship," praised the power given to the president in the Weimar Republic to declare a state of emergency, which he saw as essential for effective governance. He argued that in a democratic state, any deviation from democratic principles could be considered dictatorship. Schmitt further proposed that sovereignty necessitated the ability to declare a state of emergency, allowing for swift decisions outside of parliamentary procedures. He later used this argument to justify Hitler's actions during the Night of the Long Knives, stating, "The leader defends the law."


File:Faust.png Faustianism

[edit]

Faustianism was an idea in File:PrusSoc.png Spenglerian philosophy. The idea compared the European civilization to Faust, character from German legend. Faust sold his soul to devil in exchange for gaining more power - for File:PrusSoc.png Spengler it was parallel to European culture.

File:Pronay.png Pal Pronay

[edit]

After World War I, there was an attempt to form democratic government in newly independent Hungary. However, liberals led by Mihály Károlyi were quickly overthrown by communist revolutionaries. Then, Hungarian Soviet Republic was proclaimed. In addition to economic problems and mass repressions (later known as the Red Terror), the state was also attacked by File:Cball-Romania.png Romania and File:Cball-Yugoslavia-old.png Yugoslavia. Meanwhile, rival government began to form in the south. Its military affairs were managed by File:Horthy.png Miklos Horthy who soon created the National Army. The army was soon joined by Pronay, a military officer of noble origin. In 1919, Pronay started to organize anti-communist partisan units, later known as the White Guard. Advancing through territories controlled by communists, Pronay's men began an series of incredibly violent repressions against the enemies of new government as well as rebelling peasants. Meant as a revenge for communist repressions, the White Guard's actions were later called the File:WhiteTerror.png White Terror. In August 1919 Hungarian Soviet Republic collapsed and its government fled the country. In November, File:Cball-Romania.png Romanian troops withdrew from Hungary and counterrevolutionary government took power. Pronay installed his unit in Budapest and planned city wide pogrom of Jews but was stopped by Horthy. In 1920 Pronay's paramilitary was dissolved and he was put on trial for extorting a wealthy Jewish politician, and for insulting the President of the Parliament. He was found guilty and his command was revoked. After serving short sentence, Pronay turned against Horthy's regime and even took part in the second attempt to restore the File:Habs.png Habsburg dynasty. In 30s, Pronay tried to initiate a mass movement, similar to Nazism. In 1944, then 69-years-old Pronay created a death squad. He then vanished and was believed to have died during the siege of Budapest. In reality, he was captured in 1945 by File:Cball-USSR.png Soviet troops and sentenced for 20 years in a gulag. Pronay died either in 1947 or 1948.

File:Sanfedismo.png Sanfedismo

[edit]

Sanfedismo (or Sanfedism in English) was mass movement opposing jacobinism and republicanism. Aimed to restore Kingdom of Naples, the movement fought against French-aligned Parthenopean Republic, which was created on 21 January 1799. It was led by Cardinal Fabrizio Ruffo.

Movement, made mainly of peasants, achieved its goal - the republic was overthrown on 13 June 1799. Name "Sanfedists" is sometimes used more broadly - describing other peasants armies fighting against French client states on Apennine Peninsula.

Superfascism

[edit]

Superfascism, also known as Evolaism, is an ideology based on the views of philosopher, painter, and poet Giulio (Julius) Evola, being authoritarian, radically far-right, and occult. Evolaism in general is based on a few principles: Neo-fascism, File:UltraTrad.png ultra-traditionalism, and File:Mythic.png Occultism/Mysticism. Julius Evola was the first person to translate File:Taoism.png Laozi's Tao Te Ching in Italian.

  • Occultism/Mysticism: The main characteristic of Evolaism is Occultism and Mysticism, which is evident when he thought about killing himself but changed his mind after reading a Buddhist text. He believed in Novalis' magical idealism and Hermeticism, with an interest in Tantra and Esotericism. He believes in the Left Hand Path and that certain individuals would be using dark sexual powers against the current world and also that anyone who rejects "the leveling world of democracy, capitalism, multiracialism and technology in the early 21st century" would find relief. amidst the chaos. He also uses esotericism and uses Buddhist, Tantric, Hermetic, and Pagan texts, opposing Christianity. He also endorses ghosts, telepathy, and alchemy.
  • Racism: He bases his racial views on his elitism and aristocracy and on esoteric racism, believing that there is a racial difference also in spiritual matters, in which the "heavenly Aryan race" would be reconstituted in Nazi-fascist regimes, also based on Hyperborea. He is also anti-Semitic but criticizes Hitler's exaggerated anti-Semitism.
  • Ultra-traditionalism: He is a strong opponent of modern society and that there was an Ancient Golden Age and that modern society was corrupted and (as stated before) would have individuals using dark sexual power in between.

File:Nicholas I.png Nicholas I

[edit]

File:Nicholas I.png Tsar Nicholas I Pavlovich ruled File:Cball-Russian Empire.png Russian Empire from 1825 to his death in 1855. Three decades of his reign are mainly known due to Tsar's reactionary policies.

Newly-crowned Tsar began his rule by smashing the demonstration of liberally military officers. The "uprising", known as Decembrist revolt, demanded representative form of government and a constitution. Soon, the Tsar ordered expansion of secret services and censorship. Nichols I had also removed many local autonomies:

  • Autonomy of Bessarabia was removed in 1828.
  • Autonomy of Kingdom of Poland was abolished in 1830, after unsuccessful uprising by Poles.
  • Autonomy of File:JewTheo.png kahal was removed in 1843.

The exception was Finland - it was allowed to keep its autonomy because of Finnish soldiers' help in crushing the November Uprising.


Under Nichola's reign, Ministry of Education adopted "Orthodoxy, Autocracy and Nationality" as its slogan and key principle. Tsar's emphasis on File:Orth.png Orthodoxy manifested in efforts to convert Eastern Rite Catholics (living in Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania) to Orthodoxy. He have strengthened Tsarist Autocracy and increased repressions of political opponents. Principle of Nationality was cause for increased russification efforts. Larger emphasis on nationalism caused debate about File:Cball-Russian Empire.png Empire's future. Political scene divided between westernizers and File:PanSlav.png Slavophiles - Tsar supported the latter. However, even though Tsar was undoubtfully a reactionary, he also did some reforms - during his reign railway system was expanded. Moreover, he was opponent of serfdom and even abolished it in Livonia.


Nicholas I also put large emphasis on the military - he expanded conscription laws and put military officers in charge of nearly all government agencies. The army was not only mean to punish criminals or undesirables (local officials often sent them to military), but also way to upward for non-Russian nobles, such as Georgians, Finns or Poles. Tsar himself saw the military as model for a society, valuing the order.

In his foreign policy, Nichols I focused on protecting ruling monarchies and crushing the revolutions. He aligned himself with Austrian Chancellor File:Metternich.png Klemens von Metternich and soon earned the title "gendarme of Europe". Tsar intended to help crush the Belgian Revolution and condemned the July Monarchy. Nicholas I also abolished File:Conmon.png constitutional monarchy in Poland and sent Russian troops to crush Hungarian uprising.

The groups were known for instigating anti-Semitic pogroms such as the Kiev progrom in 1905 that killed 100 Jewish people. The Black Hundreds believed that Jews were behind the creation of communism and feminist movements.

Variants

[edit]

Antiquitism

[edit]

Antiquitism is an File:Offcompass.png off-the-compass variant of reactionary thought. It states that anything possible to inherit from ancestors should be conserved, mostly in museums. That is why this ideology could also be called "unconditional conservatism".

File:Revcon.png Revolutionary Conservatism

[edit]

Revolutionary Conservatism is a political current that may seem contradictory at first glance but it's not. Revolutionary conservatives seek to overturn the existing social and political status quo in order to restore traditional, anti-progressive and anti-liberal principles. Its advocates argue that modern liberal institutions are incapable of preserving tradition or authority and that hierarchy, national identity, or moral values can only be restablished through radical transformation of the current political order. The ideology is therefore conservative or reactionary in its goals but revolutionary in its methods.

Beliefs

[edit]

Reactionaryism preaches the return to a previous political state of society, aims to restore a status quo, usually does it as a result of principles which go against the current order, such as philosophical or religious condemnation of a given society. They see the society of the past as inherently superior in terms of morality. While all reactionaries are culturally far-right, it's not always the other way around, especially for ideologies that propose a new system entirely as opposed to a direct return to status-quo-ante (example: Esoteric Fascism). However, as the society of today is so different in many ways, opposition to it may inevitably seek inspiration from past systems, directly or not. It also often is based around strict hierarchies and strong religiousity.

Examples

[edit]

Personality

[edit]

Reactionary is very religious and traditional, likes challenging people to duels, and speaks Early Modern/Shakespearean English (e.g. thou), maybe also Latin or Greek. He's against progressivism and "degeneracy", believing they're ruining civilization. Reactionaryism advocates the use of violence against progressives and wants to cleanse the world of degeneration by erasing any progressive ideas from the face of the earth. He's best friends with Traditionalism and Authoritarian Conservatism and has many descendants, not all of whom he deems successful.

  5. ↑ "I once saw a grove of dead pine trees in a park in northeastern China. A group of people had been practicing some kind of chi-gong there, where they would roll about on the ground and then use their hands and feet to take in chi, and in a short span of time the grove of pines had withered and died. It could hardly be said that they were doing something good. A real practitioner would consider that to be killing. If you are a practitioner, you have to change your bad traits and become a good person who strives to live by the qualities of the universe. Even in the eyes of a non-practitioner what those people were doing in the park wouldn't be considered good. It was damaging to public property, undermining the city's greening efforts, and ecologically harmful. It wasn't good by any measure. They could have just helped themselves to the universe's abundant supply of chi instead. When some people reach a certain stage in their practice, they may have the power to take in the chi of a large swath of shrubs and trees with just a swipe of the hand. But all they are getting is chi, and no amount of it will do them much good. Some people go to parks for the sole purpose of amassing chi, and figure that they don't need to do any systematic energy exercises, since they can get chi by waving their arms about as they stroll around. They are content to just get chi since they mistake it for something it's not, i.e., higher energy. You might sense cold emanating from the body of someone who does that, if you go near him or her, since the chi of plants that they've stored up is negatively charged (yin) by nature. Those who do energy practices normally seek to balance negative (yin) and positive (yang) energies in the body, whereas the people I've been describing feel good about what they are doing even when it leads to their smelling like pine oil." - Zhuan Falun, the Eighth Talk, Amassing Chi
