nohbody Posted August 12, 2017 I can't help but wonder if "the Northern Darkness" and "The Lake of Heaven" are describing energy centers in the body and the transformation of k'un to peng describes a meditation visualization (among other things). Am I off? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stosh Posted August 13, 2017 Dunno, but since generally the descriptions of the way are scaleable for humanity, nation states, social circles and individual constitutions,,, Your application is probably a fair fit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dawei Posted August 19, 2017 I think ZZ is way beyond energy centers... but this did make me think whether he sees the energy centers are a transformational shift of the human perception. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nohbody Posted September 6, 2017 I like how the principles of lift and buoyancy are explored in the first chapter. Naturalistic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you do not get through the night. It's all wrong and so wrong, If you do not get your song. It is so sad and so very bad, Whenever Mum scolds Dad. I am very happy and scary, If I roller-coaster with Sally. Yesterday and tomorrow? Yes, but today no sorrow. - LimA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please do not fly off the handle when I say that you are kind of 'off'. Why? You have captioned your thread - In the Northern Darkness, there is a Fish... But 'Fish...' = what? Something fishy? From - https://www.morewords.com/starts-with/fish/ - 'Fish...' can mean - fishability fishbolt fishbone fishbowl fisher fisherfolk fisherman fisherwoman fishery fisheye fishgig fishhookfishhooks fishline fishmeal fishmonger fishnet fishplate fishpole fishpond fishtail fishway fishwife fishworm Don't ever ask me the meaning of all the above fishy words. If you try, I will chop you up with the relish of a fishmonger. I will treat you worse than a mongrel. So? - LimA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am I off? North on chinese maps are down. On the Nei Jing Tu, the northern sea would correspond to Kan water, Peng might correspond to the one yang hidden in water that rises up the spine, Lake of Heaven might correspond to the Heavenly pool in the head, and so on. I haven't got the text close by, but these texts usually can be interpreted on multiple levels, so I am sure you might find more correllations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They pertain to your own road less traveled - I can never travel on your path. Don't know how. But I like your approaches. Sometimes I question my own path which may not be linear. Still searching ... All good wishes to you. - LimA Edited October 5, 2017 by Limahong Correct errors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
