  1. Free Will

    The relationship of the eight pointed star to pi. It was said to me, the groove of anything is where true Fu starts. To find the ninth angle, the center of Time. It was said to me, sown in me, shown to me. I can't help that my life was changed because of those choices and people living on the edge of history... It's real... The Center of Time Now and Then When
  2. Zhan zhuang

    Once you get your Instrument clean, it works wonders to play it to the best of your ability! A sqeeky wheel gets greese, but a used hinge never rusts. Continued training means improving your timbre your pitch your accouatics, ability to improvise, adapt to any rhythm, etc. Pile standing is akin to tuning up your instrument in a symphony... Who is blowing the pitch pipe? Life will require you to play this newly tuned instrument. In some cases the instrument quality I finer than the artist playing, and in other cases the artist plays a song in which he blends his tones in such a coorspondant unison one can not discern natural beauty from artistic interpretation. The dissolution of subject object, the merging of performer and audiance, contender and opponent, internal and external dissolve onto one.

  4. Transmissions

    Yes. Absolutely. A good teacher will point you in a direction in which you can face your fears, struggles or personal demons directly. Once you are able to work throughyhe sensations of psychlogical efforts associated w the illusion of your fear, repeating the process alone is the natural course.... And something that will repeat itself until you transit th rite of passage. A good teacher will enable you to overcome fears by virtue of the the steps you have taken on the path with a guide.

    Thanks for noting my presence Kate!
  6. sleeping time /dream practise

    The most powerful dreams I've experienced were betweeen dream and the curls of reality, it is the daily window we open and close. In the most powerful examples of meditations effects on daily transitions of consiousness in my own journey it seems the opportunity for oobe's and lucid dream work is not so much to control te content of dreams ( self centered use of lucidity) but to aid in non attached observation and navigation of the dreamscape mind into deeper or surface levels of consciousness. Vibratoru state exists just as deep dreamless sleep exists. It is very very very interestig to meditate next to someone in rem... I actually enjoy meditating next to a dreaming dog. Sirius!
  7. Free Will

    I wonder what if any relationship exists between 'free will' and 'destiny' ... Or rephrased 'the choice to choose or the will to do it' (thanks Alex) and Quantum Measurement Paradoxes. Can we measure our position and at the same time chart our motion through life? What is Time
  8. Transmissions

    I'm fine. Part of integrative cycle towards the single point of breakthrough.... I have not spent an unbroken length of time posting to taobums for approx a year. Given the medium I can compress cross referernce able information in the posts that catch the eye. The overall comprehension of the entire board seems to have raised a notch on the spectrum.
  9. sleeping time /dream practise

    Consider the transitions to and from sleep as opportunities....

  11. Transmissions

    Truth transmitS Through Any Medium. It's cross associative nature will release you from previous boundaries of consciousness. Like a traumatic situation is blocked out of the mind by it's dialation because the bandwidths of experience are exceeded, transmissions of source information reverse this trauma state and the experience expands consciousness rather than dialates it. Limits are opened to limitless. I've experienced transmissions with a single word, a one inch adjustment, a look, an energy wave, a whisper, a strike to the neck, it has all been a matter of listening for the message in the appropriate medium. There have been moments where my teachers have Led me Up to a point In which an crisis of ego produces the state in which the mind is open enough to absorb the information present or presented.
  12. POSITIONS for Lower Tan Tien breathing

    I havnt read the rest of the thread. Once wuji is established dan tuen breathing can be continued indefinately through all positions if the same principles are followed that guided you to standing wuji. If I had to count all the pointz on te compass in which I've melted through duality using these same principles it's numbers circumnavigate the compass, onceband for all. Geometrically significant once you find one, practice eventually reveals them all as one. One thing that comes to mind is conducting the taichichuan forms from the dan tien first an letting the rest of the body follow the movements from the still center within the dan tien. The little effects the big, move second arrive first. It is an effective pump to charge any energetic banner your body wave is flagging
  13. Is this the truth about sexual energy?

    Contemplating the energetic significance of using the corner as a focal point of attention. After spending time bouncing in an abandoned Masonic temple the significance of attention and architecture in relationship to this basic exercise seems significant in so far as energy condesates to the vertices of geometric proportions(corners) and dissapated along plane surfaces. When I first found sei gung ( teachers teacher) some of his first words to me were that the beggining of Kung Fu is ubderstanding the relationship of the eight pointed star to the circumference of a circle pi. That finding the groove in anything art music movement is the Art.

  15. Is this the truth about sexual energy?

    After I had experienced that Rhys would talk w me almost everyday. He explained what I felt was a kind of orbiting of energy that peopleget in the body usually only at special times, and that it was important not to abuse it, I would always tell him what I felt he would laugh tell me to forget about it, give me another exercise , throw me on the flow when I tried to get him and laugh. Always laughing! He said things in life bring u up things in life send u down, do that in one breath, life and death, pick it up lay it down, fire up water down, the mind fully active te mind fully passive by virtue of who you are you know what to do. Movement to stillness stillness to movemenT The chi refinement metaphors that Rhys gave to me in association with the rising fire and cooling water of chi cirulation was that of refining boulders to sand. At first when you push on te boulder it is impossible to budge. You feel nothing but effort. Sooner or later it is cracked and you get larger rocks. These break down into stones. He said imagine you can move your whole boulder now you just have a bunch of rocks to move each one heavy in itself. After this stage smaller stones until you result in pepples , and finally in fine sand that you can pour easily from hand to hand. Hebwould show me in movement how I was only pushing on a boulder, and he only hand to shift his sand to make sense of the rocks I was throwing at him. Always such funny metaphors, his voice and movements still impress themselves in my mid from memory. I told that story back to Rhys's teacher Sei Gung Mike when I had a chance. In reflection he laughed he said yeah that's it "and don't forget to dust"
  16. Is this the truth about sexual energy?

    The downward flow is not negative, mental attachment to the perception of downward flow, in any state of matter, human or otherwise, arrests the open mind into dialating upon a singular paradox which defies language, and activates the deeper layers of energetics including the sexual energy fields, but also more exotic forms of creative energy fields. These paradoxes layer the curtain of reality with pin points truths of perceptual paradox likely resulting in an "oh so fresh feeling" a feeling of elevation and groundedness similutaneoulsy. consider. If you sink 100% of your weight into the earth it is a kind of prolonged push straight down, does the earth pushback? The old adage "don't look down" when you fly comes to mind. Considering the gyro like equalinrium the bi pedal creatures like ourselves have within our inner ear.... Our 'inner' ear .... part of us is falling and part of us is rising at all times... In music there is a harmonic illusion called The Sheppards Scale. It is Eschers Stairs in sound. What are these paradoxial observations good forbid not for spinning the perception of duality back around to free the observer from the Absolutes of any plane or field. It is truly a ascending descent along a kaliedalscopic spectrum of fields and trxtures, starting at birth and rising into death. Walking talking tree people flapping their brains in the cosmic wind until eternity, the loss of time. The universe is an equal opportunity employer. In the system that was presented to me the downward flow in the human body was the front half. The back side wasthe upward flow. Front yang back yin. Front half body active, back half supportive. The First exercise was the lower tan town breathing which made heat pump after abstaining from ejec for three days. I engaged in three sets a day of enlingating belly breaths w mind in dantien. Later sei gung said put mind no where. After generating heat he (first sifu) had me gold a 2lb dumbell weight looking in the corner of th room, after a couple weeks of belly breathing and doing that I pushed through a veil and it felt like my diaphram spasm and my chest bubble out into my arms work. I breathed what I was doing not the perception of. Mind body duality is illusion, we are made of animating life force.... At this point I had trained in Taoist martial art six months? I did not know upward or downward flow. I knew some basic feelings associates with effort and metabolism and what kinda felt warm and gooyee after training. When I hold the weight the netter the root the easier the weight is to hang in th corner w the imaginative mind. When 'work' set in the mind chooses to hang on or adapt, after so many duality switches it let's go and you experience breathing and being breathed passed this you experience energy Ganges at the top ad bottom of thr breathing cycles. Breathing exercises open up textures and the shape of the wave entering the body can be adjusted and fine tuned... After I had spent another couple months hanging the weight Rhys (first sifu) one night after I had been playing sticking hands a while blind folded asked me to sit down for a mommy and breath quietly and let every thought go, I sat quietly, i heard him take a deep breath, I breathed naturally relaaxed quiet feeling my arms pulse gentle from sustained sticky hands practice..... I let go of that just breathing, I felt a kind of pocket open in the direct center of me, the same spot the felt like it bubbled the very first tune I held the wright looking into the corner .... It opened up again, I didn't do anything just breathed the next breath it got bigger I breathed deeper the next breath there was a kind of sensation of falling like I was going to sleep but also being balanced by my breath.... I remember specifically a certain rhythm building w each breath a chorus of sensations entirely new, at about the fifth breath my eyes were closed at i felt like I was in one of those astronaut capsules to test for inertia... What started as a kind of unified wave with rag breath orbiting this "vacuum" pocket when I opened my eyes cascaded into polyrhymic waves of a breathing landscape twinkling in karmic union with our breath. Who was this old fat man w a cute daughter, and what did he just do to me.... Five breathes that changed my life forever... Couldn't sleep that night. He said chi building in morning refining at night yin yang in all things find balance. Practiced single point meditation at night and also 'lettting go of perception of energy chi flow" a few weeks after that as I was going to sleep my energy spirit body or whatever body passed through bubbling plastic wrap and I was aware of a differnt perspective of our reality. Something to do with how energy condensates into corners of the room. Something about a square foundation having energetic meaning. The foundation of chi refinement he taught me was to start w jing as food air water and movement. Chi exercises could work better and the martial healing and life refine shen.
  17. Zhan zhuang

    He told me continuing to practice in all positions, particular to active rest positions, meant to slowly open the windows and doors in the right order so the wind blows through te whole house cooling and refreshing. Likewise closing up the windows of the house it is totally insulated and keeps you warm.

  18. Quantum Measuring Paradox

    Water has memory. A lot of our DNA is unused or unusable ? There are how many elements on the periodic table? How many of which we are composed? They are still discovering new elements? What about exstinctions of un discovered species? What will thrive where. Redistribution of water. Micronized Periodicity to weather patterns. What is the other 90+% of our brain doing? Subject Object dissolution dilution solutions reasonable delusions to analytical pollution. Third wave the Pisces Viscera the two together dancing as one and the third in the triad. 123 makes four.. here we are. What are we going to do? Hey Drew? What's the maximum distance you've performed an O and D?

  21. Can't figure out how to send pvt msg on this new board so here goes: Need to know the significance of the Devils Interval in the Solfeggio frequency set. This would be related to the 528hz to 741hz Solfeggio interval. Also have located a relic that is tuned to 741 by hand. I'm getting conflicting information on 741 being a frequency that awakens full I tuition or it being somehow dissonant. Curios Dave Spectrum
  22. Attn Drew Hempel : Solfeggio Frequency Set?

    Yes what hemp said there in bold about the western system of a seven note octave not being in Symmetric Correspondance.... and nested within its measurement rules a Contained Geometry; measurement rules that that use 'just intonation means of tuning' removes naturally occuring 'infinite harmonics'; think tesselations in geometric terms, polygon angles or in physics of sound: accoustics: a coinciding harmonic, tessellations are such because they continue infinitely... furthermore "just intonation" implies some sort of truth yet it is more of an injustice to the virtue of the single tone. It is the tones nature for it's pitch to rise ever so slightly as it ascends the scale (regardless of the cultural division of notation) This is the "Pythagrean Comma" . Pythagreus Resulted in a slightly higher tone if he Circled the Fifths than if he ascended the harmonic scale in a linear measured fashion. The resultant difference in measurement is the Comma. So Mathmatically The western measurement system does not work because it is contrary to the nature Physics of what is actually ocuring. The mystery being why does the tones pitch increase slightly as it ascends? From Sifu : http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone

    Sounds like adjusting body Ph Balance
  24. Attn Drew Hempel : Solfeggio Frequency Set?

    Solfeggio Interval is technically an Augmented Fifth. A Half step down from a fifth. As in C to F #
  25. Attn Drew Hempel : Solfeggio Frequency Set?

    i would be interested to see the cymatic patterns produced from the Solfeggio set. The Chinese / Japanese pentatonic scale does not begin in a linear progression like western scale. Instead in starts with the Center or Earth note which is the third note of the series. There are both yin and yang 2:3 3:4 scales to the old pentatonic series. Furher older non western scale harmonics are based on natural accoustics instead of divide and measure as you say. I am curious where the Solfeggio set differs from the western scale there is a lot said about tuning from a440 to 528 etc
