You seem to have some awareness that you “sound like a broken record”.

Indeed, and that is because it a subconscious dynamic. Very common.

It is a kind of addiction to a parent-child, guru-disciple, superior-inferior relating. And subconsciously looking for opportunities to recreate the dynamic.

Many people in the military have this…[Read more]

You always turn threads into an opportunity to give advice; seems to be a problem you have !!!

Would you like to relate to any of the points in the post about the effect of these elements on us ?

Do you for instance know the yang/yin nature of the wind ? Because that would be interesting.

I read recently that the human body is composed of 1×10^25 atoms. 1 with 25 zeroes after it. 10 million billion billion atoms in your body.

Not only that, but each atom is a nucleus of protons/neutrons surrounded by electrons and there is a vast space between the nucleus and the electrons.

In other words each atom is mostly space. In fact…[Read more]

Isn’t it cynical to vote in a system so hopelessly distorted ?

To continue with it is to betray your real self, real hope, and that is the real betrayal and cynicism.

To not believe in and hope for something that is actually Good, that is cynical.

To continue with this edifice this mentality that we call “politics”, to feel that is the…[Read more]

Hi Steven

I woke up really in my head yesterday.
Feel better today, just did a QF1234 and nice rooting session, feel more normal. The rooting seems to be taking root.

I am not sure which of the 5 animals is causing the problem, seems like a badly behaved zoo !! All except the lungs which are solid.

I was feeling that perhaps the heart…[Read more]

Agreed. I speak to my brother about these sorts of things a lot.

Where are the men ? Any left on this planet ? (where are the women too?)

Most “men” run around in t-shirts like a child these days and trousers with their butts hanging out, acting out either the macho or the enfeebled characters copied from the culture.

Here in the UK…[Read more]

I just can’t do Mantak Chia. I don’t understand what he is saying, nor his structure … I watch and nothing happens. I saw him lying on his back in pink pyjamas … well maybe I would try it if he could just give me the bottom line without the waffle.

Actually been finding that occasinally even with Michael’s DVDs especially towards the end.…[Read more]

The essence of my complaint is : how do I orient myself in the outer reality.

As my inner reality grows, I feel further and further distance to how I used to understand life. I walk to the supermarket, it is a ritual I have been taugh to shop for food, there are the oranges and yogurt with their price labels. But, I have no idea any more what…[Read more]

Thanks, I suppose you have done a lot of Mantak Chia study.
Today I tried some old Wu Shu forms I know and I think I might use them as you use tai chi 2.
I am not sure if there is any connection between Wu Shu (I used to study at Wu Shu Kwan in UK) and Qigong, but it works for me.
I think I will leave Tao Yin for the moment doesn’t look right…[Read more]

Hi again Steve

I received QF 3/4 last week, so following your recommendation I have been doing some grounding (Zhan Zhuang) and extra spleen duty, it seems good.

I wanted to ask you something else. Part of my mon-fri routine is to insert 45 mins of yangi/western exercise before lunch, been doing Taebo and Ministry of sound dance workouts…[Read more]

thanks

Thanks Steven !

I will follow your advice, this is what I am looking for as I realise something is happening inside that is not to do with food.

I have not head of “Tao Yin” … please let me know what you are referring to ?

These old ideas are a mess. I think mankind needs to try harder to find an answer.

The best answer I have heard that is shared by Gurdjieff and Anadi, is that humans do not in general have souls, they have seeds.

And the cosmic purpose of our life is to grow the seeds into souls. How is this done? Well it is the ego that needs to do it.…[Read more]

Ramana Maharshi declared that his cow Lakshmi had reached enlightenment, so if that’s what you mean by wall off the spirit then no.

As for the mental health of a human being that wants bestiality, that is another question.

People just repeat what the TV says.

In India the TV says “be Hindu”, and so people say “I am Hindu”.
In the West the TV says “be atheist”, and so people say “I am atheist”.

Now, if you bring one of the Indian guys and some of the Western guys together, the former will be saying “I am Hindu” and the later “I am atheist”.

They seem very…[Read more]

Entropy etc…

Well I suppose WE are supposed to be the vehicles for resurrecting the universe by bringing in higher forces (from beyond). In this way we maintain the universe.

I relate to this. I see many good people not having children, me included.

I was reading a report by NASA recently that says human society will fall apart within 50 years. Meanwhile here in the UK there is a baby boom, of the immigrant population and the ignorant population.

Schools are jam packed. The politicians are screwing with the…[Read more]
