“The SHÉN 神 Spirits are the principle of life and death; they are the force that does not cease (Unschuld, 2011: 248). Thus, to assign to the XĪN 心 Heart the government and the basis for the SHÉN 神 Spirits To remain in the body also means to elevate it to the most important of the ZÀNG FǓ 臟腑: “The XĪN Heart 心 is the basis of life; he is responsible for changes operated by the Spirits SHÉN 神(SÙ WÈN 素問, ch. 9)”.
ZHĀNG JIÈBĪN 張介賓
The SHÉN 神 Spirits are the organizing principle, capable of giving direction and consciousness to the development of the beings, witness and agent of Heaven TIĀN 天 (concept similar to that of Nature) in us (Eyssalet, 2003: 165-167 and Barsted, 2006: 90). They come from Heaven TIĀN 天 and can only inhabit the XĪN 心 Heart of the human being when it is empty, serene, at peace, and the XĪN 心 Heart is only said to be in this state of Emptiness XŪ 虛 when it is able to receive, accept and consider everything, without fixating on or rejecting any ideas, experiences or beings (La Vallée and Larre, 2007: 120). In this way, the SHÉN 神 Spirits are the connection between human beings and Heaven TIĀN 天 or, to put it another way, are the expression of nature in us (La Vallée and Larre, 2007: 23, 90). They are also the force of unity, unity and identity between the parts of the body that form the individual.”
