I agree with your response. But the “balance point” is the minimum stability required for survival (enough to eat, shelter, clothing). That is really all the ground we biologically need.

The rest is culturally imprinted. That is where our imagination and creativity immediately should prevail. But unfortunately, that is not the line. People are…[Read more]

I have trained a lot of people with tinnitus to listen to an inner sound and try to center it in their core channel until it becomes harmonious. But usually it is a high pitched sound, not low pitched. But assume it may be humans eavesdropping in on the subtle body conversation between heaven and earth. :0

Steven,
what you say MAY be true, depending on the individual make-up of each person in the couple, and which aspect of the soul needs strengthening. -m

Note: Steven Geisz is a Healing Tao instructor taking this system into the schools – and students are loving it, i.e. being more in their body, not just their head. Hopefully this will spread like wildfire within the broader academic system. Kudos to Steven for integrating Taoist philosophy with real world experience. – Michael

Steven,
you are confusing Virtue with Destiny.

You can love everyone equally, the meter man at core is arising from Tai Yi, the Great Oneness, same as your wife.

Love is just a state of merged awareness. It is not an action in its original sense.

Destiny is the difference. I have destiny with my wife, but not with the meter man.
So I…[Read more]

I agree – will to live is the key, the biological support stuff is totally secondary.

That is the difference between Taoist quest for immortality as multi-dimensional creativity beyond death, and western immoralists quest for unending physical life (= fear of death and spirit realm).

Steven,
You are posing a dualistic universe, in which the personal self has a different reality from the collective self. they are one process. You cannot have integrity in isolation from the collective – the “virtues” you express outwardly are the same qualities that you hold towards yourself.
so I don’t find your semantic distinction…[Read more]

I think that “cultivating wisdom” would fall under the neidangong imiperative to cultivate one’s “de” (te), commonly translated as “virtue” but more accurately as “integrity”. Integrity in Qi cultivation implies the personal, social, and cosmic dimensions are harmonized.

Linda,
Thanks for sharing this. This mirrors my own experience. Instead of being driven by unconscious desires,which is actually a form of “internal reactivity”, I am relaxed and responding to what actually gives lasting pleasure to my soul. It takes a while to adjust to sex not being a permanent “itch”, but the range of freedom in loving is…[Read more]

Fabio,
I appreciate the depth and intelligence behind your many questions. But it would take a whole book to answer them all, and I am busy writing another book right now.

You can contact one of my students in shenzhen, Carl. carljosephdemarco@gmail.com
He knows my system and has been living in china for a long time.

Fundamentally, you…[Read more]

it’s a good question. I think people have NDE’s because they are NOT IN THEIR BODY, i.e. they cannot stay present with their current destiny, so their soul pulls them out to get a different perspective – similar to death, with its life review. Then dropped back into the body.

Howdy,
Your fear of dragons may come from Western archetypes, rather than Chinese dragons who are serving the harmony and balance of the ruling Planetary Being.
Likewise, your ideas about immortality ‘exceeding one’s natural lifespan” and thus being unnatural. This is shortsighted and ignorant assumption that our current short lifespans are…[Read more]

Fair question. I don’t use Dragon here as Hun, liver spirit. This dragon is from beyond the body. It might mobiize the zhen/liver to do its work, but not limited to it.

I will record the upgrade in Oct. at the workshop, and make it available sometime after that (tech guy is sometimes slow). But no point to wait on your order.

wrong. Gold and silver were ALWAYS the basis for money, before fiat (paper money, backed by govt. promises only) was invented. Rare metals are too rare to serve as money. The US didn’t drop its gold-backed standard until 1971. Since then the value of your dollar has plummeted due to inflationary printing.
I would consider buying some “junk…[Read more]
