How should we understand Dao Xuan's soul-retrieval case when leaving a practice group?

When Dao Xuan changed practice groups, he told the original group he was leaving, but unseen connections still needed handling afterward. I asked the Xuantian Shangdi worshiped by both sides to coordinate, and General Feihu also assisted in this soul-retrieval process. This was Dao Xuan's particular experience, not something everyone leaving a center encounters.

I did not definitively state why the other party acted that way. I suggested their teacher might have believed it protected devotees, while that understanding could still differ from the person's wish to leave. Choose groups carefully and explain specific circumstances clearly. One case cannot establish a judgment of an entire group.

Later, I clarified a distinction: the original deity had agreed to Dao Xuan's departure, but people had not cooperated with the arrangements. This cannot be simplified as the original deity refusing to release him. My management-contract comparison explained an earlier connection and later coordination; it did not impose human contract law on another world.

Ming Fen also described recurrent sadness and powerlessness after leaving her former group, with possible unresolved past connections discussed only later. Her feelings, Dao Xuan's perceived images, and my divination-based interpretation each have their own place. These are religious experiences in those cases, not reasons for everyone wishing to leave a group to assume their soul is being held.
