CHAPTER 6 The root of Heaven and Earth, can be found in its spirit. Search and feel this spirit, for it is ever present; the gateway to all mysteries. The spirit is the primordial mother of the ten thousand things. It is ever present and eternal. heaven is head, earth is torso. spirit is breath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personality is found when one attaches conceptions to a flow. Often even cause and effect viewed from a (ego) perspective is seen as a personality. Here is a pretty good description from the Tao Te Ching to answer your question... CHAPTER 25 Something mysteriously formed, born before Heaven and Earth. In silence and from within the void. Alone and constant, ever present and flowing. It is the Mother of the Ten Thousand Things. I do not know its name, so I call it Dao. For lack of a better word I call it great. Being great it flows. It nourishes the Ten Thousand Things far and away. From whence it came I do not know. Therefore the Dao is great. Heaven is great. Earth is great. The Ten Thousand Things are great. These are the four great powers of the Universe, And one of them is the Ten Thousand Things. Man follows the Earth. Earth follows Heaven. Heaven follows the Dao. Dao is what is natural. Your feet, stomach and head are simply part of Man in the above description. Look/feel beyond the (local) body-mind. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allinone Posted July 23, 2017 So i suggest drop the ego theory, its not even needed, it is sidetrack. You need gain access to darkness. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allinone Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) but when you use like you need to bring your man(body parts like you said) into dao, you are fwrong. So waht i previosuly said it is heaven is head, torso is earth makes more sense.. Edited July 23, 2017 by allinone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No ego theory, just conscious and subconscious aspects of mind. Ego would relate to local body mind autopilot like responses. What is "darkness" to you?

I rather talk about the light than the darkness though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have never suggested dropping ego. But I have said many times that our ego should reflect reality. In the state of wu we can access both the light and the darkness. Again, awareness.

What is "darkness" to you? darkness? When i don't see anything, so i will use that non-attachment as a object of contemplation. Even in a daylight when sun is up, is you can cultivate darkness. Till i see the light. That light is manifested as a wai fu. Then i know what to follow and be true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So for you darkness is when you close your eyes. Sorry, I had thought you may have meant something more of the term. Also, if you are using something as an object of contemplation, you are obviously not "non-attached" to it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you get caught then you realize that you don't have an object anymore, because you know that it is taken away from you. That empty feeling "for an example" is darkness.

Getting caught? These are all emotional states driven by subconscious fears. Also, if you are worried/notice that something was taken from you, then by definition you are not "empty". But, thank you for defining your "darkness", as I now know what you are describing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not tehn you are buffed by sensual energy, so you got to work on eradicating that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I know more than you would like me to know when I am speaking with you. I can do a mind version of something and then do the physical thing. I can do a physical thing and then reflect back upon what I have done. I can even walk and chew gum at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
