Chinese Esoteric Philosophy

IMPORTANT NOTE - This is an excerpt from my longer video on Eastern Esotericism I made some time ago, and I wanted to share why I decided to do this. Normally, I don’t break up my content this way, but after re-watching the original 2-hour video, I realized that the section on Chinese philosophy and esoteric practices really stands out. It’s a part of the video that I believe deserves its own focus. While the full video covers a broad range of Eastern esoteric traditions, the Chinese section, which appears in the second hour, delves deeper into Chinese philosophy, Daoism, Confucianism, and their connection to esotericism. I felt this portion is the most important part of the video because it goes beyond just esotericism—it touches on Chinese philosophical concepts and the intersection between religion, science, and philosophy. Another reason for this separate upload is to make it easier for those who don’t have the time to watch the full 2-hour video but are especially interested in Chinese traditions.
