Alexander Alexis replied to the topic The Dialectic b/t the Serpent & the Dove: Does Love Evolve? in the forum General 17 years, 10 months ago
“How can we evolve love?”
Asking the question implies knowing, to some degree, what love is and what would happen if we were to have it (evolve). And it implies the desire for it.
Intending is how things get grounded, manifested. Without the power of intention an idea never makes it out of the mental realm. You have to WANT it to be…[Read more]

I agree. I too would like to see this clarified. It sems to be one of the few areas that is undefined and where there’s confusion.

Barry,
It sounds to me that you have a lot of thinking going on as well as very good questions being raised because they are part of your process.
We ARE the process and it is important to remember that your earth center is you.
As far as the controller goes- “control” is a very fuzzy word. I don’t like to use it. I make decisions all…[Read more]

I like what’s there overall and think you should continue to refine the wording. I would simplify the whole thing and not be too intellectual about it. Come more from the feeling of each thing because the inner power of each idea is more powerful than the mental power of it.
#1- Surrender and #5- Letting go are really the same thing and I…[Read more]

Hi Barry,
This is the way I tend to approach things when a question like this forms in my mind-
If I set the intention to do the orbit or anything else (which is an intention coming from an inner drive for whatever doing that will bring) and I smile into the idea and my center as I release it to the universe, I ask, either in words…[Read more]

Alexander Alexis replied to the topic Blue light… in the forum Practice 17 years, 10 months ago
“…sometimes when I see lights, I think I am supposed to do something with them.”
Sometimes that’s the mind talking and sometimes it’s your guidance telling you to bring the energy down into your body and circulate it through the organs and the orbit.
I don’t know where you are in regard to the Kan and Li practices but Vega is the…[Read more]

Thank you, Michael.
I feel the same way about the year that’s about to unfold. In fact, a Kryon message from the beginning of 2006 predicts that the Indigo children will be triggered into action as a group this coming September to make extraordinary changes.
I wonder if you would like to say something about the upcoming Year of the…[Read more]

Hiya,
Here are some passages from Lonnie Jarrett’s book Nourishing Destiny, a Chinese medical text which brings the focus of acupuncture back to its center- daoist alchemy and its understanding that we all are born with a destiny to fulfill and that THAT is the primary aim of medical treatment.
Notice how metal, air, lungs, moisture,…[Read more]

Hi L,
Therapy is unlikely to bring you to the deep place you need to be in to resolve these issues but it can help. So can a number of other techniques offered throughout the world these days. Using these practices will bring you to the level your issues exist on inside of you and transmute them accordingly and organically, meaning as you…[Read more]

It’s your daoist birth certificate, Chris!
Everyone’s got one at their navel. It means you’re really here and you have a destiny.
Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas, Alexander

Alexander Alexis replied to the topic Intro and The Nature of Addiction in the forum General 17 years, 11 months ago
What S.O. says here is very good and useful.
“In order to transform a situation where you are dependent on that little rush of energy which is then taken away later, you could try gradually reducing the negative addiction (such as smoking), and increasing the positive one (such as qigong). Eventually you will reach a balance point where one…[Read more]

Hello Bagua
I have looked at a lot of books and worked with this a lot (and I mean for years) and there is something about it that bothers me.
“There are basic qualities about areas of life for each trigram and their original geographical palaces or areas.”
Why?
“In many systems of feng shui, including advanced methods the…[Read more]

Thanks, Michael, I know about Black Hat. It’s the modern version which lays down the bagua over the house plan with the north/water side on line with the front door. This is in contrast to the older way which is to align the bagua with the directions themselves.
