I still insist the use of "chi" in Chinese martial arts is in fact a combination of muscle flexion, coordination and sense of balance. Consciousness is also relevant, if you understand it as controlling your attention. But until someone proves me wrong, I won't believe kung-fu masters have magical powers. The human body as understood by rational anatomy and physiology is fascinating enough.
"Transcend and include" is a poor piece of advice if the issue in question is pure mistake. I hope you agree that flat Earth theory, geocentric model of the Solar System and young Earth creationism were completely debunked and there is nothing in them that should be included in our understanding of the Cosmos. In the same way chi and afterlife have no place in sound understanding of human existence.
The past I find most inspiring is the late 19th and early 20th centuries since I regard it as the period of greatest achievements in painting, poetry, architecture and philosophy.
