Historically the mysterious pass was where Lao Tzu went after being expelled from the Imperial City. All his friends in the library where heard to say "Where did he go?' Even his best Friend was quite confounded and stated "I think that I shall try to understand and find my friend. But If I get lost, fellow scholars I'll leave little notes about the mystery... along the way."

Time is a function of the amount of mass. Space is curved relative to the amount of mass in a system of bodies. The passage of time in a system of bodies is proportional to the amount of mass. Does anybody disagree with me yet?

General relativity could accurately predict the orbit of Mercury. Up until 1904 whenever astronomers would predict Mercury's apparent position it would be wrong. Then the Mathematics of general relativity were applied to the observations of Mercury. Lo and behold!! Mercury's orbit could accurately by predicted. Quaternion mathematics is a basic component in curved spacetime. The study of this topic might help with this conversation.Quaternions

Thanks for all the posts on the development of this school of philospohy. I still would like to understand what it means when Chinese President Hu Jintao exchanges formalities with Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou.

Nope no clips. Just an Old Friend that's a DJ and the dance floor that she creates. For awhile we had a young yogini that would do some of the most interesting postures and movements. The night scene is pretty chaotic but after an hour or so of just moving with the crowd the chaos starts to create patterns. And as I travel with Her to a different club I look for the similarity in the moves, looking for order to arise out of the chaos. Usually every club is different, with no real pattern to the people s movement. Well there is the order of just bouncing in place with the rythms of the music. And the Love that is created by everybody that attends. The Love is free to anybody that needs it. Oh man. What am I saying free love from Chaos?!? The demons will never let me rest for this one. Still the question is in the air....You are a Master but can you dance to it? Funky Monkey! Eerm I mean Ape.

Interesting Karma today in wanting to write on this subject. I was able to get into a closed library with the help of a janitor and write about vows. The mighty custodian of the world able to open many a locked door.... There are vows you can uphold, they are called master vows. And writing them out is a useful practice in itself. This practice arises from Guru Yoga as taught by the Buddhists. Three times a day and three times a night write down the ideas of what it means to be a master of your system. Then a good quality and a bad quality of the thought. And don't be afraid to see the good as the bad and vice versa. The play of good and bad qualities is were wisdom likes to arise from. The modern Taoist practices are working on finding suitable vessels for holding correct views. Liu he ba fa The basics were poured into me by Sifu Bob Cook and Lao Shih Eric. Bob and Eric were taught by Kuo Lien Ying and James Wing Wu The Hua Tuo was created with the help of Lama Ngakpa Dorje and Amitabha Buddha in 2002~2004 and I gave out the methods at the Kalachakra puja of 2004 in Toronto Canada. The post heaven sequence is found at a place called Blackstone Ranch. The Tai ji players of Taos New Mexico are those that currently use it.

It's what I have spent time understanding through prostration, meditation, and years of training. What I know about water boxing(liu he ba fa) is that it is a combination of all three internal arts. Xing I generates Intent Bagua understanding of how Intent transforms Tai Ji moving to the stillness of the Intent as it transforms. Liu he ba fa (six harmonies eight essences) combines all three in broad and expansive ideas, being a water boxer in Taoism is like being a mahasiddhi(great saint) in Buddhism. This chaos palm technique sounds like a harmony in itself.

To truly understand iron palm I've had to spend time at a monastery reading about the levels of hell and the qualities of a iron king. then drinking super hot tea from little cups...almost like molten punishment from the wrathful dietys. Chaos can be a interesting subject of study....mine lead me into the noise of astronomical observations. No matter how precise the observations become there is always a little error, or chaos. Chaos on the level of a solar system... can be a huge mistake. What comes to mind is the mars mission that crashed into the planet because of the difference between metric and english units. Chaos truly fascinating and extremely terrifying.

How do these teachings relate to the red pheonix practices? Both those taught by the Kun Lun school and those offered by Shambala at the great stupa. The teachings at Shambala are called red pheonix levels 4~6. But when I meditate upon it I get a distinct impression that they are different schools. Maybe Love or somesuch thing connects these two systems together. FYI From the A.P. Chinese President Hu Jintao exchanged formalities with Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou. This exchange was the first public meeting in sixty years since the civil war that seperated Taiwan from China.

Would you agree that primordial and chaos are synonyms?

Primordial wisdom-self originating before anything else existed. Now suppose that is it possible for the self to originate before it existed. This self has no concepts with which to compare against, and therefor can be judged as innocent. Since it is innocent it can be understood as pure. With purity of intent being it's natural function a solution is at hand. With your practice being primordial is it possible to suggest that a new solution is at hand that isn't based on any previous schools of thought? (With the the help of ODB of the wutang clan) You had better help me solve this probleemmm I'm gonna originate and tell theemmm Hey Lao tzu <clap clap> I say hey I got your money! don't you worry Lao tzu<clap clap> I got your money! Tryin' to not get in the holy ghost trance and rob them wishin' that I'm not some ole' dirty dirty busted ass in the this world system of greed.

Truely You may have mastered the Primordial chaos palm! But can you dance with it? Honky! Oh now don't be bummy and give me that Lop sau <clap clap> Bitches please put away your man's pistals and hand me that Krystal<clap clap> O! now give me money!! I say hey! honky! Baby i got you money Don't you worry! Honky Baby i got your money<clap clap> sexy.... sexy.....

I bow to Lord Yama seated with consort offering Him a cup of nectar. Well it's nice to see the efforts of the teachers being put into effect. The length of the posts is a tribute to the hard work of those that are educated. A simple question that helped me to calm down my practice of oriental methods. Do I want to go to chinese heaven? Namo Buddha Namo Sangha Namo Dharma Caught in the tight knot of ego and tossed around by the whirlwind of envy

Thanks for the mind! Ma'at Ma' at is the egyptian word for balance. Caught in this tight knot of egocentricity thrown about in this whirlwind of envy, with the vision of wakeful society.

What colour are the eyes of the red dragon that grasps the black pearl?

It's a little advice for the practice of a certain nei gung that is transmitted from a teacher of kun lun taoism. Gold is a good answer. Maybe well discuss the name of the mind gone madness general? Some practical experience with helping general's is a requirement that I insist upon. I'm perfectly happy not writing about this, and equally happy to write about it.

Ya gotta be careful with his teachings. He made a bunch of karma's for king spirits. Spiritual powers that arise from drinking and thinking that you are a king. My friends and I are always saying that we rule the world when we are drunk and in his territory. Trungpa died due to alcoholic consumption. His son the Sakyong...Mipham rinpoche needs some help with this legacy. Pacifying this problem in shambala buddhism is a challenge to any sober taoist alive! It's good to be a king!

I bow to the ever victorious one seated on a throne of exalted technology. I seem to have entered into a mindstream of aikido today. Mindstream meaning an awareness of karma's and phenomena associated with beings that practice aikido. I see aikido as an expedient resolution to the new level of war that is possible, and that the hopi's wisdom about the gourd of ashes is not to be misunderstood. Namo Darma Namo Sangha Namo Buddha

What city?

It's also important to have a forge and machines to work the metals with. A nice foundry, the glow of burning earth and molten metals, quite hymns of praise sung in the morning. And when beer thirty approaches the joy of stopping for the day. Beer thirty how soon till it's? The next question Internal or external work?

These are the metals that I have experience with Iron Copper Silver Titanium Adamatium According to astronomers anything heavier than Helium has a quality of being metallic. The more metallic a galaxy is the older it is. The interesting thing is that as a galaxy evolves there is an increasing amount of metallic elements. So the astronomers say.

What I got from doing the Yi Gong/kun' lun practcie from the teacher was to improve my eyesight was to take my damn F*****g glasses off and use my eyes. I've had the same prescription for 9 years in part to the practice. Who knows maybe my eyesight will get better if I start up again? The empowerment was the understanding that I could go beyond my perceived limits.. Be it my glasses or my fears etc. etc. just learn to go beyond.
