very true
except that in Math, the individual
has the responsibility to reach 100%
with the tools you give themin music, it is my responsibility
for the whole group to reach 100%
whether they have the ability or notAlso, music is about emotional expression,
but that his hard to achieve
without technical skill
and achieving technical skill takes
hard workin many ways it is a process of refinement
like alchemy
there is always more to be doneyet I do recognize
the importance of balance
it just takes time to achieve
a consistent method of training
to achieve high level outputin the end, this is always true:
Lao Zi:
“To retire when the deed is done
is the process of how Heaven works”
(ch.9)According to Stephen Laberge, a prominent lucid dreaming expert, most people wake up several times per night and then go back to sleep but do not remember it. Training yourself to remember these waking moments will help to remember your dreams, a step towards lucid dreaming.
For those of us that have to wake up early (5:30-6:00 am) although on a rotating schedule, I have found that, coupled with the need to get things done, I have gone from sleeping 6 hours to 5 to 4 or 3 hours per night. There are many causes, but people have to exert much more will to avoid all the distractions that keep us awake, and of course practice extreme time management to not suffer from exhaustion during the week.
I have found that when I am tired (when I notice I am tired – often REALLY tired because sometimes I don’t notice I’m tired) for about 3 hours which leaves me much more alert and productive to do things, but then often causes me to not sleep much after that. Exhaustion then accumulates and then on a weekend evening I sleep for 10-13 hours.
I think the segmented sleep patterns are reasonable but only if you have time to do it. Most people fall into one longer sleep because of schedules and work etc., except that people could still adjust to taking a long nap when they get home, and this would probably feel more restful, although if it causes you to not sleep much later then it is not helpful as more exhaustion will accumulate.
I think grains such as wheat are considered “sweet” in Chinese five-element nutrition on their own even without added sugar. It is true that salt is a major additive in bread. I eat a lot of organic bread, but not much other grain such as pasta or rice.
I wonder if pacific sea salt has trace elements of iodine-137 or strontium-90 in it?
First of all, if you are asking me to explain to you exactly everything in the book, you should read it yourself. It is a scholars interpretation of a tradition that has merged into other traditions after many centuries of practice, particularly inner alchemy in its use of meditative “actualization”, and overt though also coded ingestion of natural energies such as the sun and moon. You might have a different take on it than I do according to your background.
The next important point behind your question is that in my opinion, the particular gods and celestial bureaucracy are not that important unless you happen to have a direct interaction with one of them. I don’t know if a particular one exists unless I were to have a direct interaction with it
Most Deities are religious interpretations of natural forces that can be directly interacted with through the inner alchemical transformations of jing, qi and shen. A good example of this are the three pure ones of Heaven, Earth and the ONE (Tai-I, the neutral source of the primordial chaos (hundun), which gives birth to the form and formless frequencies of vibration). And yes, I know they are real because I can directly interact with them through meditative alchemy.
Its your choice whether you accept any of this or not, and whatever you choose is fine with me.
