Good question:
Ritual movement concentrates the power of the mind. The body IS the mind, its jing level, moving in a pattern, vs. thoughts being the movement of the shen shaping qi. Ceremonies can use both, and the repetition by the body sends a powerful signal to the cosmos, creating a new alignment.

Good point.
in my view, The priestess is the one who takes responsibility as Human. The Goddess is the fundamental nature/source of true Yin, related to deep earth being.

VERY interesting. Yes, damp heat in TCM is major culprit, and might be environment for fungus. Chinese are big into power of fungus, and Japs are doing lots of research on how certain mushrooms cure cancer, i.e. they may re-organize the lesser fungal orders?

Fair question. It is quite different from primordial.

It moves in Squares, and turns clockwise instead of Primordial’s counter-clock movement. It integrates the 28 lunar mansions, the 24 solar periods, and the Pole Star, captures their essence into your mingmen by causing the earth chi to spiral upwards in the pattern of the Big Dipper. This…[Read more]

I found the article very interesting, thank you for posting. (note: it may be too technical for many).

However, there is only one brief reference to chemtrails in the last paragraphs – but certainly worthy of more attention. I am inspired to put up an energetic nano-shield over my property, to get the elemenals to pre-clean any chemtrails…[Read more]

The cultural questions may have very wide variants, depending on who you know, and how you define “girlish” and “womanly”. But I tend to agree, european women may have a more clearly defined model/pathway to womanhood, or maybe they just get pushed to grow up sooner than Americans, who are sheltered by a college system and extended childhood until…[Read more]

Why don’t you read Anastasia – the Ringing Cedars of Russia book series by Vladimir Megre – and give us book review. I think people on this forum will be more interested in your spiritual assessment than your politics.

chang is correct, in my opinion, but his translation is not. Chad Hansen has done the best work on this first line translation, and points out that tao means “speaking”, not just Way, and “chang” means constant, not Eternal.

Thus:
The Tao/speaking that can be spoken of is not a constant Tao/speaking.

The implication is NOT that there is…[Read more]

Stalker,
I have warned you before on crowding the forum with multiple, sequential postings that no one is replying to.
If you are getting responses, it is no problem. If you are just having a conversation with yourself, and no one is reading them, its spam.
I know your intentions are good. Please control yourself. Combine your thoughts…[Read more]

I studied his form when he came to the USA, and later visited him in Beijing. There I discovered he is lying about his age – in the video he claims 90,in the USA it was 96. In real life, it was 73 years old, that was probably 5 years ago, so now 78. I can forgive for lying, in China it adds status….he is a lovely guy, mostly, just don’t get into…[Read more]

ps. I know I posted at least one photo of the “Bee Daoist” on my China dream pics. I think it was with him giving Cherry Li (my translator) a heart shaped talisman…. michael

I spent a couple of hours with this guy in his cave near Purple Cloud Temple. There was a waterfall flowing over the entrance to his cave at the time (it may be seasonal). He laughed and said, the water falling down is Nature doing the Microcosmic Orbit for me!

Jack,
It is not high on my schedule to make that DVD, although it is worthy of it. I may get to it eventually….but may be faster to come to China or learn it at Star Alchemy, a few courses down the road. I do Big Dipper Qigong nearly everyday, along with the primordial and various others forms that inspire me.

Keep up your strong practice, persistence pays.

Reiki, as mostly taught, is in my opinion, a fragment of an old Atlatnean method. It’s incomplete, essentially a shen method, whcih is why many reiki practitioners have turned to Taoist practices to go deeper, to also penetrate to the jing level.

You can only go so far channelling other beings…[Read more]

I am not sure that getting murdered by a possessed teen is part of the coming population shift, I believe that will come more from natural disaster, when Mother Earth decides it is time for the Big Push of final labor pains.

as for Why? time is shifting faster, that I believe is related to greater intensity of the new solar being that came in a…[Read more]

Autumn Equinox is a great time to initiate new YIN activities, spring supports yang activities. But both are activities – yin does not mean sitting around and wringing your hands until spring comes….

Jade,
It’s the foolish questions that get you somewhere….
At this moment I don’t have time for the long answer it deserves.
So I’m sending you to my list of past emails, one on the spring Equinox, one of the other four nodal points of the year. Autumn Equinox is like the Spring Equinox, a balance point between the yearly yin-yang cycle,…[Read more]

Kathy,
I am delighted that Wang Liping has decided to be less secretive about his dragon gate practices. But $3,000. for a weekend – according to the email I received – seems a bit steep in price. It makes him or his organizers appear even a bit greedy, not motivated by high virtue of spreading Taoist practices, but by money. Especially when…[Read more]

Interesting – thanks for digging this up. I had heard the theory but didn’t know where it originated. Sunspots are 2 million degrees hotter than the sun itself, so a sign of excess yang…..

The pattern Matthew is talking about is the 9 Steps of Yu, which is related to walking the bagua. I guess it could qualify as a labyrinth if you end up in the center?

I am now teaching a “star labyrinth” Big Dipper Qigong, which walks the adept through 28 steps of the Lunar Mansions in the 4 directions (x 7 stars of Big Dipper = 28). I guess it…[Read more]
