Chi

Chi is the energy or light, that flows within living systems. In Chinese medicine and Japanese acupuncture this energy flows along meridians which can be re-channeled, blocked, or tapped.

The true hacker has crystal-pure chi -- it doesn't matter what they look or smell like. Business people have smelly chi, so do joggers. The hackers chi is pure because their mind is pure. They admit no falsehoods or unverified claims made by another. The chi is clarified by the power of their mind. Admit it: you know this. This is why you find nerds interesting.

Chi can also be accumulated into personal power and guide the interaction with the Spirit. The more personal power you have, the more the Spirit and the forces that are transcendental guide you.
