Interesting points, Howdy.
I have often wondered about the objective truth of Chinese medical theory myself.

Haha yep, in fact I had a little ceremony today in honor of it being Imbolc, or Groundhog Day as you say (interesting how many holidays we celebrate have pagan origins). And yes, this is the true ‘beginning’ of Spring, I just wish that were more accepted. So yes, Happy Spring!

Oh ok, makes sense. I definitely agree with you, both forms are great and intention seems to be the most important thing.

Hi Russell,
I think I get what you’re saying…basically, that either way can work depending on one’s perspective.
So do you live in the Southern Hemisphere? If not, why are you more drawn to seeing fire as north?
Like I said I personally think its odd that maps have north on top.

RyanO replied to the topic Directions in the Primordial and Deep Healing forms in the forum Practice 14 years ago
Hey there, not quite sure what your question is, but it’s pretty universal that fire corresponds to the direction south, and water to the north. However, if you’re in the southern hemisphere, this would reverse.

Huh oh starting to get political! Wasn’t trying to go there. You’re right, but shouldn’t union and harmony be a goal?

RyanO replied to the topic bible secrets in the forum General 14 years ago
Hey Steven,

Hi Steven, this is Ryan, just signed up on this forum and have no idea how to navigate it so we’ll see how where this post goes!
Just wanted to say I enjoy the lucidity and logic of your posts. It’s pretty refreshing to see on internet forums where most posts and rambling streams of consciousness.
The Taoist vs Buddhist debate is a long…[Read more]
