This is currently the main Chinese philosophy and religion. It has existed for about 5,000 years. Originally, the principle of Taoism was a pure philosophy of helping people to understand the unlimited strength of life, but ordinary Chinese people were not able to understand it in the right way, so they made a religion of it.

Taoism believes that all life has Essence Strength (the power to act), which is used by Essence Consciousness (the power to be aware). Through training, these two can reach the point of no limitation, the stage of being a god. Taoism supports the idea that there are many gods.
