The World Upside Down

Four essays on Internal Alchemy by Isabelle Robinet

Isabelle Robinet, The World Upside Down: Essays on Taoist Internal Alchemy

Golden Elixir Press, 2011

This book contains four essays on Internal Alchemy by Isabelle Robinet, translated here for the first time into English. The essays are concerned with the alchemical principle of "inversion"; the devices used by the alchemists to "give form to the Formless by the word, and thus manifest the authentic and absolute Dao"; the function of numbers in Taoism and in Internal Alchemy; and the original meanings of the terms "External Elixir" and "Internal Elixir".
