anyone see this movie yet? i just saw it today and it was amazing. the quantum basis of alchemy and meditation. it's given me something new to focus on.

I am a tree. The core channels are my trunk and roots. They draw the nourishment and water from Earth and keep me rooted. Deep in the center of the earth is a special water rich in nutrients that feed me. My orbit is the vascular system that circulates the water and nutrients, delivering them to all parts. The Shen are the leaves. They use cosmic energy to build and fortify me. The belt channel is my bark. It protects me and holds the trunk fast. Finally, the arm and leg channels are my branches. They give grace and beauty to my form and let me reach out to the world. I am a tree.

i've been into "spirit: a journey in dance, drum and song and bill miller lately. when i have time. workin too damn much.

i'm gonna be a bloody referee......

love it. so i gotta share this too. me and captain canada:

i still swear i'm not one.

i dint really know where to post this. i thought about putting it in personal practice discussion, but i havent puyt anything there for so long it was like, "whats the point?". then i thought about putting it in articles, but i have no ide3a how longits going to be. then i thought its such a popular recurring topic (the wuji qigong), why not just put in taoist discussion? i've had some fantastic results with the wuji lately. i've been involved with this healing work from afar and found that the neutralizing power of the wuji is tremendoous. sure it expands the neutral space within each of us who does it. it enables powerful shifts into the energy body. it mixes jing, qi, and shen. it manifests the unmanifested. and so on. the work i've been involved in lately, and that is turned on 24/7 and has me kinda spaced to the point that i havent been participating in physical culture or society muych lately, is a distance healing, of both individuals and groups. the helaing is of a paticualry thorny nature in taht it involves "exorcizing" darkness, demons, the dark side. i dont mean that in a judeo-christian hell-born entity sort of sense, i mean it in a individual energetic and group energetic sort of sense. what i found is that no matter where you are in teh universe, you can center the wuji qigong anywahere you want. for example, though i am physically here in china, i can center my wuji practice at a place in new jersey, or the caribbean, or the moon. the practice has the immediate and automatic effect of neutralizing, that is balancing, yuan qi making effect on the local environment. it also has that effect on the place where you are spiritually cetnering the practice. thus you can neutralize that location or individuals and groups in it. you can pull out the "evil" or darkness that effects them, gather it in with the wuji, and dissolve it, returning it to the earth in its transformed state. thus the healing is achieved. also, because of the expansioin of the neutral space, any dark forces that attempt to interfere are pwoerless. they cannot enter that neutral space. if they do, they are gathered in and neutralized as well. keeping this neutral space well established is perhaps the best protection against demonic forces. what i'm wondering now is, is it possible to expand this state infinitely for yourself and even for humanity, creating a universal harmony? i dont know if this can be done physically owing to the dual nature of physical reality.

does it count if they MADE you read it? like in school? or does only voluntary reading count?

yes.

well, it's really intent driven. you shift your spacial awareness to the palce you wnat o cetner the practice. just envision yourself being there. close your eyes when you do it. open your eyes and see your physical location. now keep awareness of both. the neutral space acts as a kind of vacuum tht will suck in and balance anything that is out of balance, i think is how it works. you can also make the gathering fo the dark force or unhealing correspond to the physical gathering movements of the form. since you're invoking many pwoerful assistants and guides when you do this, you can get help from them--the powers of the four directions, center, heaven , earth, taoist immortals, ancesotrs, ancient ones, whover you care to include. now i just peeked over at the healing tao forum and it seem michael winn doesnt have any problems with any of this, because he did reply and didnt mention this issue. only thing he responded to was the issue of yuan qi as the foundation of physical reality. so i might just have something here

i guess if wing chun were any good bruce lee wouldnt've invented jeet kun do.

i look forward to the video. hope she wears something sexy.....

it was always there.

that is why there is fusion, oh hun-colored one.

it's a winn form.

the name is sort of a minor guardian of the threshold, i guess. in intiatic work, especially the western variety, each level of work is protected by a guardian of the threshold you have to get past to enter that level. they're often terrifying beasts or ordeals. if you don't really want it, you won't really try. could we say the same of plato's scat porn on taobum? infintile transgression, or cleverly connived guardian? amazing how thought provoking scatporn can be sometimes

how about "running vs. yoda"? i've never cared much for yoga, at least hindu yoga. tibeta yoga i did a lot of and it seemed to be very good at conditioning the body, almost like physical exercise. as a former distance runner, i found the running high to be pretty persistent. and addictive. when pushing the distance i really got into a trance-like state that was very similar to meditation or a shamanic trance. the first time i entered zen i think was as a bike messenger. the mortal demand on awareness and presence took me there in an automatic, involuntary sort of way. now cycling, or any demanding exercise for that matter, triggers it. love the fact that yer observing and studying your practices like this. i was observing some chinese people today doing their morning routines and i was amazed at how vacantly adn mechanically they go thru the qigong. couldnt perceive any deep awareness or focus.

my mom would dig it. my dad's too much of an asshole.

two excellent books about this. one is Games people Play and the other is What Do You Say after You Say Hello?, both by eric berne. brilliant, brilliant analysis, discussion and remedy of the hidden agenda. i can't think of any one (or two) books that were more critical thje psychological aspect of my spiritual work. it's raucously hysterical, but also very down and dirty. you'll probably end up hating yourself and not want to actually do the work. i still highly recommend both books.

i see the number of tracker students at taobums is growing. hope to see some good discussion on taoist tracker stuff, or tracker taoist stuff. chine in any time youre ready.......

hun isyour liover shen, po is your lung shen. not surewhat you mean by "other obscurities." that has infinite possibilites in this field. the otehr shen?

yeah, i think the englsih termis actually wolfberry. shit'severywhere in china--medicine, food, soup, snacks. never seen the juice though. you can get boxes of it in china town. it's cheap.

sit up. turn off tv if it's on. turn off a/c and open doors and windows. start coffee. brush teeth. turn tv back on to see ABC news on hong kong tv or ALCS on ESPN. drink two cups of coffee and smoke 'em if i got 'em. take a big massive al bundy shit while reading something in English. do wuji qigong and whatever else. get ready to bike. bike. lock office door and change clothes hoping my secretary doesn't intrude. work.

yeah, but if ya suck, the only time you look cool is posing in your shorts. and i wouldnt want ot discourage the ladies from wearing them......
