surrender into formless is good but is not a destination you can stay at unless you truly want merger and no return; ie it is not a very functional or creative state. The front channel of return into form is called the functional channel. Video of fusion and return in movie https://youtu.be/ohnkD-gjNVQ It is a different goal to remain dee…[Read more]

in MW’s course the fundamentals 3 and 4 include standing in stillness mediations with internal chi breathing. It is the same as Yiquan and Zhan Zhuang (jam jong) including the material of Lam Kam Chuen, which you mentioned recently. In 5 phases, earth is centre. These systems build the centre after warm ups – same as medical chi kung. The cen…[Read more]

then there is the need to refine and circulate the energy gathered via internal alchemy as well, very necessary to make sure power and virtue go together. It is true one can do small 10 minute refreshing sessions during the day to good effect but deep healing of old patterns does require a lot more, at least until a new inner equilibrium is…[Read more]

last message crossed with preceding. Equating surrender to balance and harmony, okay. Neutral earth-centred, natural virtue.

Hua Ching Ni (Taoist author and teacher) in his I Ching book talks about the form/formless aspects of Tao and says if you attach yourself to the formless you remain outside the Way, because the Tao is also form. So form/formless is a balance. A lot of ‘just let go’ and advocating surrender is great but is favoring the formless, which may be n…[Read more]

just about everyone is considering earth changes as part of the climate change story – this sounds a lot like the global cooling, grand solar minimum, mini ice age one whereby sun gets quieter, earth gets cooler on outside while more active in terms of volcanic activity etc on the inside.

in western astrology judgements were made by an assessment of the likely virtue or otherwise of planets moving through signs (dignities).
