In the mystical and profound world of Taoism, there are many coded words and metaphors that can be perplexing to the uninitiated. Among these are the concepts of Gold virgin boys (Gum Tung) 金童 and Jade virgin girls (Yuk Nui) 玉女. Though these terms may seem strange and arcane, they hold significant meanings that are integral to understanding the nuanced philosophy of Taoism. In this blog post, we will delve into these concepts and their symbolic representations in Saam Law Taoism.
The Confusion Around ‘Virgin Boys’ and ‘Girls’
These terms, which are often portrayed in movies and stories, have left many baffled. Why do the gods and immortals require the service of “virgin” or “young” boys and girls? This has become a question rarely asked, yet the inquisitive minds in the Religious Court of Tin Yat Lineage have explored this subject deeply.
Metaphors of Taoism
Taoism uses words as metaphors to describe preheaven concepts. The terms Gold and Jade refer to specific types of energy within the human realm, and the accompanying concepts of boys and girls, even “virgin,” have symbolic meaning. Let’s delve into these metaphors to illuminate their true meaning.
Gold Virgin Boys (Gum Tung): D5 Energy
Gold refers to the energy of the heart, described as yellow and glowing like light. This energy, known as D5, is often likened to the feeling in the heart that sparks a desire to act. It’s the trigger of the “want” moment, like suddenly feeling the urge to go to a shop.
Jade Virgin Girls (Yuk Nui): D1 Energy
Jade, on the other hand, represents a glowing white energy, the top system of our energy body, known as D1 energy. It symbolizes the ideas that form in our heads, allowing us to envision possible futures and make choices, like deciding what to eat for lunch.
Why Boys and Girls, and Why Virgin?
These metaphors express energies that are “just born and matured” in our current human realm. The concepts of boys and girls symbolize humans in their growth phase, when energy is expanding, akin to a ripening fruit. The term “virgin” emphasizes the purity and freshness of this energy.
Servants of the Immortals: A Misunderstanding
The portrayal of virgin boys and girls as servants in films and literature is merely symbolic. It represents how gods’ energy helps people, delivered to the human realm through these metaphorical beings. They spark our feelings and ideas, like messengers delivering divine insight.
Seeking the Truth
It’s easy to be swayed by false information and personal interpretations that deviate from genuine Taoist principles. Many grab unearthed books and create their fantasies, spreading confusion and misunderstanding. However, in our lineage, we strive to provide a deeper insight into the specific and detailed knowledge that transcends surface-level understanding.
