    According to Zhu Xi's theory, every physical object and every person has its Li and therefore has contact in its metaphysical core with the Taiji. What is referred to as the human soul, mind, or spirit is understood as the Taiji, or the supreme creative principle, as it works its way out in a person.

    And there's an entire industry related to balancing the Qi in your home in the form of Feng Shui.

    Amazing how corrupt humans are in any number of ideologies.

    State atheism was promoted implemented by Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, Kim Jung In, and Pol Pot.

    I am quite sure many people firmly believe it is true. I assume most of the practitioners think it is true. I don't think I'd call it "corrupt".

    The thing that bugged me about Feng Shui is how fundamentalist they are. They are militantly opposed to concepts of biological evolution and atheism.
