Hello Steven:

I will drop the entire dialogue and embrace with what then exists!

Thanks for the interaction and appreciate the playful exchange.

Smiling back to you.

Hi Steven:

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated.

It seems we are all part of Tao, creator and creation are one. Because our intellect, thoughts or Yi can go in many directions it does not mean we leave the here and now, or creation leaves creator or humanity leaves Tao. This clarity reveals there are is no separation of Tao and…[Read more]

Hello Steven:

Thanks for your interesting post.

Is the life force the Tao? Is life force every not the Tao?

Is there anything in life that is not part of change?

What part of you is seeing “it”, seeing what was and not what is?

If the Tao is the source of all change is there any change that is not part of Tao?

Is it possible for…[Read more]

What does the Tao mean to you?

Anybody want to share what they believe prevents them from living in the tao, if that is possible?

Hi Steven:

“GETTING TO THE ROOT OF THE ROOT . . .

implies a belief that there is no *better* way
than the path that the lifeforce has in “its mind”.

So that’s sort of the issue that needs to be better
understood, as it is the true stumbling block here.

How do you know that there is “no better way”?

Answering this, and the rest is…[Read more]

Hi Steven:

“At any rate, I’d appreciate your thoughts and/or any further
discussion upon this “aliveness” which you speak of, and moreover,
any sort of eternal carryover beyond this physical form.”
**********************************
I would propose Tao Alchemy or cultivation is to bring you to the “Aliveness”, to have a clarity of this,…[Read more]

Hello Steven:

I would suggest to you that the only thing you have experienced is “life”, “being alive”, that is all we know. This “being alive” or “aliveness” is you, this is your essential nature, your yuan self.

I suggest tao cultivation is to turn your attention or Yi to this, which over time you realize this is your essential nature,…[Read more]

Hello Steven:

It is my experience the fundamental objective in Taoist Cultivation and most spiritual practices is having a clarity of what we are, in knowing this most all our concerns based in false understandings are resolved. In knowing this we are more able to live a happier more meaningful life. Creator and creation are one, when this is…[Read more]

I’ve actually asked this question TWICE now on this forum,
and no one seems to have an answer!!!

How do you prevent speeding yourself off the planet with
too much transformation?
*************
what makes you think this could happen? I dont think there is any tao teachings that present this idea.

But is can be your intellect or yi in fear…[Read more]

The idea of the inner meaning of words is an important one, particularly in spiritual discussions because the same words can be used to mean different things.
************************************
This is true in most areas of chinese metaphysics.

The idea of “enlightenment or living in the Tao” does imply some sort of “state of being”, I…[Read more]

A touchy question … why is it that the majority of senior healing tao instructors are either not certified to teach kan and li, or don’t teach it regularly (from looking at their websites)?
*********************
I don’t think it is a touchy questions, i hope you will ask them and find out directly their feelings on this unfiltered.

Ha ha ha…is this a dialogue, or a stating of beliefs, an argument about methods?
******************
For me its a discussion of what these practices mean, often the metaphor behind the words, not about a method.

You seem to be saying that there are five phases and cycles of change, but then also say that everything is already perfect in…[Read more]

“I practice harmonizing the opposites to bring my undivided self into this divided plane AND also to fully experience the division so that the Undivided self may learn from it (the reason why we are here!!!).”
****************************
I dont believe the undivided self needs to learn anything, and setting up that dynamic creates polarization,…[Read more]

Seeing as we are talking about atlantean and daoist alchemy here, it seems that the goal of both practices is to create more yuan qi in the post-natal, but it also allows better communication with the pre-natal realms because we have been birthed out from there. This brings in the aspect of time, that we can “go back” (time is linear in the…[Read more]

From the perspective of Shen, Yuan Shen cannot be added to or diminished. From the view of the post-natal our lifestyle and cultivation build all kinds of Qi, Wei, Ying, Yuan, etc. to sustain our life. If kan and li is used to create more yuan qi, this is post natal yuan qi and in these formulas one is trying to use this to access yuan shen or…[Read more]

I believe Yuan Qi creates Yin-Yang, it came first, it unfolds into yin-yang. Our cultivation is to harmonize these energies when they are too polarized.

Sounds like a fabulous gathering, cultivation and celebration. I will be meditating and doing qi gong with you from the far west.

Congratulations to the happy couple.

Happy Solstice.

I have seen your posts in the past and know you have a good heart and wonderful spirit, so as you let go and you focus on your essential nature no need to worry if you will act properly, you can become in harmony with not only your Yuan Shen, but the Yuan of the universe, as they are the same.

Once you count, it will never end,…[Read more]
