How can the meaning of Tao be changed? Once written by creators the definite meaning is put in the character. This meaning cannot be changed later. How can meaning of the one definite written chacter can be changed? I'm not saying about understanding and interpretations. We are talking about the old form of TAO. My second question - why don't you give the meaning of the old form of TAO in the article instead of modern interptratation that is far away from the old form meaning?? Such interesting method for Yin-Yang theory No I think it will not fit. Better to search and to decribe the oldest forms from the point of Chinese itselves. And they are saying that three strokes in the right part int's not Yin-Yang, it's - defenite thing.

The Yellow Emperor
XiaoZi replied to Jadespear's topic in Miscellaneous Daoist Texts & Daoist Biographies
I consider on the basis of ancient cannons - that Yellow Emperor was the highest practicing Taoist man and that's all. No outerspace origin . The same as Sheng Nong 神农 and Fu Xi 庖犧 - the first Wangs (Kings) of China.- 19 replies

Is there a place to discuss Daoist web sites?

I was laughing for a long! LOL))))) -
1. And if I have red hair - will it be Yin-Yang from the point of red? 2. Chi (Wisdom) you meant this character: "智 zhì"?
-
So from your words it means "stream, river, creek, plain", "eyes with eyelashes/eyebrow", "head with hair", trigram "Qian - Heaven" and "two titles on the top are symbolical of yin and yang" are the same? hair is the same thing as yin-yang?
-
Then what is it for - to give the interpratation of the mordern character form if the character originally had the different meaning?

Hi Vitali. Thnx for the interesting info about Tao. Read with pleasure. I wanted to specify the etymology of the Tao character - 道. In the article it is said "...Hieroglyph consists from 2 parts: left and right. The right part may also be divided into two parts: upper and lower ones. The upper right part means “integrated Universe”; two titles on the top are symbolical of Yin and Yang. This means that the whole Universe consists from two polar powers and, meantime, stays being an integrated unit...." The character in ur article is modern one. So I 've looked in the internet for the oldest forms of Tao character (attaching it to the post) And the right upper part is not two lines, there are three lines. So could you please explain me how it corresponds with ur interpretation?

Let me put my 1pence into discussion. 1st - you will never find a knowlege without teacher. To learn smth in TAO you must find teacher. Otherwise you are intent to be Bhudda (to learn all by yourself) and how much persons are able to do all by themselves? right one in a millions. The same thing is told in every ancient and mordern manuscripts - find a teacher, because there some moments in Tao that is hard to understand with our level of energy. Someone must lead us in this practice, who already leveled up. Second - all magic things and magical powers ARE the consequience of practice and they are not the goal. If you are using such magic things - it takes from you some amount of energy. The more you use - the less energy in you. Such things called "Flowers on the road" - you must go further by the road and don't pay much attention to these pritty things))

The decline and eventual fall of the USA as world superpower?
XiaoZi replied to Formless Tao's topic in The Rabbit Hole
It must be JOKE)) what is good in Cigaretes and in Cola? Sorry to remind, but 1st colonists and there following childes DID KILLED most of the Natives. So future americans had come and wipe most of the population who lived there. Any questions about karma? About what these nation will crop after centuries for that crime? Yes I agrre that for ex the modern americans are not guilty for these crime, but this is there larma as a nation. And a lot of things must be happened to change this karma, to clear it up. Anyway what I wanted to say is - we are living in the Kali Yuga period, The America (almost against her citizens) is the symbol now of that following on the bottom of human life, decreasing spirit and cultivating all sins. The only way is to cultivate your spirit... -

How to lower body temperature with meditation?
XiaoZi replied to KenBrace's topic in General Discussion
As I read in the translations of one encient manuscript - the regulation of your temperature depends on the condition of your bidy. If in meditation it is heating or cooling - than meditation is to earlier for you - you must (as was written) get control of your body by moveable trainings.- 36 replies

Chinese Taoist Medicine & Stillness-Movement Medical Qigong
XiaoZi replied to Ya Mu's topic in Group Studies
Hi 2 Ya Mu. I have 1 qustionif I have a cardiac disease, can I practice this programm? -
Sorry may be this is wrong topic, but I hears about BaDuanJin (Ba Duang Chin may be) - is it only for health or these exercises are also for growing fight ability, fight stength in your body?
-
Agreed with all! As I read meditation is the one of the last steps of to be immortal. For me for example it would be deathfull to seat for a long time and not to eat. For such practices your body already must have elixir in it, otherwise it would be corrumtion of the body

Yes, this understandable, but how to do it without knowledge? If to behave like child - children always wanted many things that Lao Zi for example wpuld say - they are dust for us, the wishes leades to a struggle. So this point - to let us be spontaneously - is not completed without smth else..?
-
Now reading Zhuang Zi and it is said there in the chapter 23 Very good advice, but how to do it I don't know. I guess the secret of Tao is concealed in such practical advices to do smth step by step, I mean physical excercises - I mean not only to meditate but also to do some excercises. But where to find such men of knowledge....that is the question.
-
I also thought through years about this first Zhang. And now I can only assume from my experience that when you will reach Tao - you will not be able to explain it to the others who haven't reached it yet. But there is no other way for the beginners than starting from the words,, cause we cannot avoid it (words). Something beyond the mind and thoughts - that is Tao. Also I've heard that on the West it's common to specificate Tao in denial way: it's smth not ...and etc. Growing Student
