Hard and soft meet, train soft to hard or hard to soft depends on a person's interest. I was taught traditional in actual temples. When I began training it was basic training, hard work, physically demanding. no one just started Tai Chi one had to have kung fu skill first. Tai Chi being a high level of fighting skills in china it was reserved for high level fighters Flower fist and brocade leg is a term used for those who practice Tai Chi Chuan and have no Kung Fu. This just doesn't make sense because it is opposite of traditional methods of training so this does not happen.

Once I walked through the gateless gate, the homeland of nothing whatsoever, The formless realm, the beginning and end of what is. Like a well never run dry, time has no effect, the laws of yin and yang do not apply, there is nothing to stick to. Then I wake up a butterfly thinking to myself seriously a freking butterfly I was a human just a minute ago. All this dust, I see my chair turn to dust in just a few thousand years but for now this chair works just fine. More like the tree it left behind.

The Tao that can be spoken is the great mother that provides and nourishes all forms, the named. Not biased by race, species and mental contrivance. Regular humans are lost and forget their own divine origin. this and that, good and bad all born from ignorance and self interest this is not the way. The nameless will settle the dust

The way is not above or below anything even that which is regarded as good character or the worst of humanity the ultimate man in this sense is not controlled or conditioned by knowing the way. living in the world but not stained by suchness. What is beyond the myriad things in the world is source of creation the birth and death solving methods. The hermit is the super hero of ancient China who renounces the seduction of the natural and man made world. If one lives in society and carries over the lesson of the hermit their life will be rich in what is truly theirs. So even the seduction of great friends and music is only a guest in his life, not the source of creativity and boundless state of being. If one finds himself rich or poor in life knowing the way is like having a priceless treasure that is never exhausted. All the wealth and beauty of this world is only a cheap imitation of the real thing that is form and no form. My teacher talked about nature. He said some look at the world and the natural beauty and proclaim look how amazing this all is. Their energy leakes and is taken from them. The person who steals from nature is whatever he sees and that energetic value of thing will fill the store house with great treasures. So it is a matter of spending or saving and seduction just because it sounds fun and enjoyable..

To quite the heart is enlightenment. Moreover one will be warding off calamities and eliminating disasters. When one has demonstrated this first phase, one must seek the refuge of the Heart. When one’s body and heart aren’t aligned, danger develops and one is unable to find deliverance. Like the wind or sea, the deep waters of an ocean flood, the fury of a blowing gale, and the billowing tidal waves, it is a great struggle to escape this turmoil. If one wishes to find refuge in the heart, they must know the heart, and it is the most benevolent and long enduring thing. 贪生好色，犯法遭殃；饿鬼畜生，癃残疾病，水火刀兵，瘟蝗劫苦，山崩地震，星殒日食，海啸河奔，妖邪鬼

How many times are you breathing in one day? How many times is your heart beating in one day? Have you ever counted your breaths or your heartbeat? Gather your heart-mind in the number. Tie up the thoughts on the number. One must command the thoughts not to disperse, the intent not to be disorderly. The heart-mind and the intent depend on each other and move in unison. The sun rises and the moon descends. This is the heart monkey locked up in prison and the mind horse tied up tightly. The ancient people said: “The True Intent comes and goes, ceaselessly flowing and cycling. The sun rises and the moon sets un-interrupted and un-forcefully. Knowing and not safeguarding is Gong. Spirit and breath are inter-dependent. The breath and the thoughts are unified. The intent must not be intermittent. One must neither get attached to thoughts, nor through non-action falling into emptiness; a state where nothing is being left. Going past and beyond the centre is incorrect. Going left or right of the center is wrong.

The reasons deities are so important is a very personal thing. We are never disconnected. The way I connect is to feel the energy I would like to attract and have it manifest in the physical world. The way can not be forced or manipulated it comes from out of nowhere. The formless for me is by far the most powerful, it does not require an image. The mind is at rest with the formless, no thing for mind to attach to. confusion vanishes to dust and the great light illuminates all things .All things are empty I am more interested in what is not there.

OK, You would like me to stop then to just slow down,I get it. A slippery slope to chaos is tempting but your right I will let it go.

PC police I have only insulted white people, woman, and religion so far. If offended I am sorry for you. We have established that mary is not a prostitute and mary is a terrible name for that profession any way it will never work. Transgender deities are way more fun. Depending on sexual orientation and preference they can take any form you like.

I love all the gender bending like when Thor dressed as the king's daughter promised to be married to the giants that also have his hammer. He did not speak like a proper woman his voice would have revealed his disguise.When he has the opportunity to grab his hammer he becomes a man again and kills the giants. Their are a lot of strong female roles in ancient times thank god that's over.

In another 50 years Mary will be a porn star and everyone at the dinner table will look worn out like it is their last supper.

So you think a black man would have no reason to pay too.

Free thinkers are hard to control 3bob.

I like that painting of jesus having dinner with a bunch of white people. The only one that makes sense is the white woman. People get all concerned that she was a prostitute like a black man would have to pay. Back in the good old days temples had prostitutes except in greece they had young boys. Tao bums should have an I am offended button

The hindu deities are way more colorful than christian deities and how did jesus become white? I can see someone reading the bible and they get their white wash out and say.... now this is way better.

Jesus would be a great cop you could insult him slap him in the face and he would just turn the other cheek and take it. So I rolled thru a stop sign the other day there was absolutely no one on the road. A cop pulls me over and starts hitting me with his club and I am like what are you doing and he said do you want me to stop or just slow down. I am with bob on this one we have these two religions one says this and one says that. jesus bruce lee christ says when you put both religions in a glass they become the glass. That is why I always use a cup.

That's what I am talking about. the divinity within all of us, the great mystery and the great story. We all need to embrace the highest qualities of humanity and restore the rightful paradise,,,,, because of love.

The reality of VS threads is having a position. The preconceived conflict really does not exist. The reality is that these positions are just a mental construct developed from the belfes,society and culture one is born into. So lets have fun with it, no offence.

Love it we can't have one without the other.

Allowing to be hurt by others perspectives is also never a good thing. The PC approach would be your a christian that's awesome, your jewish thats awesome, your hindu thats awesome. I like how religions change people diets that's awesome. Its all awesome and make no difference to me.

the one and lonely God's mission is to destroy all ancient beliefs and systems to take over the world. He (Male dominte architype) has an agenda and is fond of genocide. Mel brooks.....Christians are so poor (how poor are they) They are so poor they only have one god. The hidden part of the joke is that the word christian means poor fellow like someone you feel bad for. Hindu and christian believe there are two worlds one higher and one lower the funny part of this is that the word "world" means one. Hindu gods seem to like people and want them to succeed. Why in the world would Gods partner be the devil and not be married to a goddess. The archetype of western religion makes the world a very bad place. The archetype of eastern re;ligons shows people how amazing and beautiful this world is. In short IMO christians would like to see the world burn and be destroyed like the end of the story where hindus would rather like to see the world grow and for people to become divine.

That was wonderful.

The best part of beginning and ending is before the beginning and after the ending then we know the past and the future and this amazing feat changes nothing, we are still a third party. so a woodpecker walks into a bar and ask is the bar tender here? What changes does not require a witness, it is not a performance art or entertainment to watch as an observer.The illusion is being the witness and in life we adjust by being the victim, the prosecutor and the judge in an endless cycle. Meanwhile what has never changed is completely overlooked, timeless, eternal, before and after, during the day and at night. The reason some maybe scared to be alone in the dark is because they feel that they are not alone. As a kid I was scared of the dark as an adult my power bill makes me scared of the light. the difference between artificial light and real light is that real light is free. This does not work out well for the established system of consumers so others can make money when you make money or spend money. Let's just all agree that this piece of paper with a number on it has value and we will all get along just fine, it is just not real this is why we pay for the artificial and not the real..
