Just because you can be square or round at will does not mean everyone can. Why do you set the bar so high?

Let me give you a visual of ugly.... passed out being food wasted from eating pie after pie all things around me covered in pie. I have no self control around pie and you guys know it and have to keep bringing it up over and over and over again. For the love of God please stop..

Once you eat you are no longer hungry. You need to find starving people that are weak and hungry for power to attract them to your system that you are promoting. No teachers, no schools does not leave much on the plate for those hungry, it will not satisfy them. If you are satisfied why do you keep eating. Now if you wish to share some food with others make sure you have enough for yourself first. We are all just wondering what you had to eat that you are so excited about. As example if I told members about how great my system is and it is the best thing that ever existed believe me they would set me straight. The major mistake is telling someone what they practice is crap and mine is the best. Nei Dan is very personal We can not force a flower to bloom what works for one may not for other.

I apologize in advance Kong Ming for temporary derailment but this for your tormentor. I would add but you seem to have everything under control. Tao as the ultimately real is the essence of Tao. Though the essence and the function of Tao cannot be really separated in Lao Tzu's thought, we shall treat them separately as much as possible. There are many descriptions of Tao in the Tao Te Ching. One important statement about the essence of Tao is found in chapter 32: "Tao is constant (ch'ang), nameless (wu-ming), and simple like an uncarved wood (p'u)." It is however necessary to have a general understanding of Lao Tzu's thought as a whole in order to get the full meaning of the statement. From the philosophical point of view, the most fundamental concept expressing the essence of Tao is undoubtedly that of wu, “ not having" or "non-being." In an important sense, it can be translated as "emptiness." In other words, Tao as the ultimately real is wu, nonbeing, not-having-anything, or empty. It is on this basis that the "constancy," "namelessness," and "simplicity" of Tao should be understood. Logically speaking, wu is the contradictory term of yu (being, having-something, or fullness). Apparently in recognition of the logical nature of these terms, Lao Tzu says in chapter 2, "Yu and wu produce each other."13 This means that when one has the conception of yu, there will be the conception of wu; and vice versa. They are conceptually relative to each other. For convenience we shall use the English terms "being" and "non-being" as the translations of yu and wu respectively. It is our next task to examine the meanings of the terms in Lao Tzu's philosophy

This is the worst forum ever.Everyone is so special and unique, all walks of life, many traditions. But I came to a realization that what ever one is doing is the best. If it is not the best something is wrong.

Thats awesome!

Just say it from your heart or the gut or the heels of your feet whatever works for you. Positive results of practice can not be refused. The world embraces talent..It is not about systems but effectiveness.

Tao means both existence and non exsistance two sides of the coin.
