Hi Group,

 

I do not agree with the word " the " in Rusty's above post but by me

substituting the word " a " in it's place I find his source very

interesting and much more easily understood than the oldier copies of

that book I have in my libraries.

 

Thank you Rusty.

 

Following is a quote from the new translation of that book.

Notice that it is very similar to what we now call the Zero Point

Energy Field (a field of intelligence) that has all probabilities in

it, both positive and negative.

 

" ...The " essential qi " is the source of the generation and formation

of everything. The ancient Chinese philosophers regarded that the

source of the cosmos was the essential qi. Everything in the world

was produced by the essential qi, namely, original qi. The qi is an

invisible materialistic element that forms everything. Of course,

the " everything " also encompasses the human beings. Man is endowed

with the essential qi from nature, and it is called qi, essential qi,

vital qi, or original qi. The concept of qi permeated the medical

field. Thus, the idea that everything consists of qi is inevitably

shown in The Medical Classic of the Yellow Emperor. The qi is not

only the basic material that forms the body, but also the dynamic

power of the body. The life's activities of human beings are the

manifestations of movements of the qi. Different combinations of the

qi may generate different things. So, according to different places

and different functioning of the qi, different names of qi are

determined, such as true qi, ancestral qi, nutritive qi, defensive

qi, liver qi, spleen qi, heart qi, etc... "

Thanks, doc, for the " a " and the explanations of the different

manifestations of the Life Force.

 

After all, the Tao that can be named is not the real Tao and the map is not

the territory. *

-

But qi flow has some empirical principles that are worth cultivating.

Qi cannot be grasped, held nor put in the pocket.

One cannot push nor force nor " get " qi.

 

Qi fluidly fills all hollows like water and all open spaces like air but

will not go through walls nor clenched passageways.

Qi cannot help but flow through you if you are open to it.

 

Flows like water; Floats like cloud....if you let it.

 

A quick way to cultivate qi, IMO, is to be aware, HERE and NOW, with the

state of relaxation of your muscles.

 

Sung.

* Regarding " the map is not the territory " :

Here's an excellent explanation from a modern day Master about how the

meanings are often lost in translations.
