   I am unfamiliar with such a Taoist technique.   
   Sounds painful. Do they drill holes in their nuts?   
   And then screw bolts thru them? Torque to specs,   
   with small wrenching sounds. As the crowd goes wild.

   Unfortunately, my knowledge of Neidan is scant.   
      
   I keep telling myself to study it more, for jargon-sake,   
   since I speak of it in this Taoist newsgroup often enuf   
   to warrant using terminology associated with it   
   instead of Indian yoga vernacular.   
      
   The word, adept, is a good one.   
   What exactly it means might make for a story.
