Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I liked your ideas a lot John, and followed the links to see what its about. This imagery you presented is very expansive and provocative. The water, in this case, interstitial fluid, aligns in the presence of abundant positive qi. Is it possible there is something analogous to a sympathetic/ parasympathetic system of qi in the bodies? In other words, all life forms have qi and construct molecules around it. We're born and the body knows what to do, it's the opposite of chaos. Life is working, beautiful, we grow up, and a feeling of optimism and potential is there because the body is flourishing. And injury or distress occurs and we're inhibited and shut down a little to cope. automatically. Rub or reflect. Reach out. The immaterial gives birth to the material, and nutures it along. Acupuncture type therapies uses the immaterial to support the material. Herbals use material born in immaterial, to support both. And water, is so fitting to be looked at because it is mostly what we are, and water is so nuetral yet powerful. When we have to focus, because of internal or external conflict, on augmenting, or letting our body and mind be, just feeling, using our complex to feel, to unify our strengths and weaknesses, with qigong (intent), mixing in all the important lessons, letting us mix with the day season then the qi becomes mobile, accessible. Less automatic. Further down the path, sayings like, 'a sneeze can bring a snowstorm', apply. Because the immaterial is limitless, just like us. Like a horse and rider, their strength has a direction, but on a good open day, the wiser will lead. Like a harmonious relationship, society. I'm a musician who's better at backing than playing front most of the time. I like it. I know I overly use metaphors of lovers when describing qi, or feeling a pulse, or just interracting with the world in general. And I don't know if I will be moderated or spanked for some of the things I say (of course we're not whores). But, we come from the vastness, and immaterial, and can sense the preciousness and direction that the little horse wants to go. Thanks, this is such a good group.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hi Fran and all, It does seem that water which was alluded to by Lao Tzu as the source of many things (abyss) could be the carrier for the almost ineffable... Qi. I've seen visions of six pointed stars (stars of David... as above so below) coursing through our bodies...these being the internal matrix of mind-matter. This sacred geometry is a matter of fact... this blue planet of water is an ocean of pearls reflecting each other... as six pointed water crystals refract through each other creating a symphony of light and sound, which we call.... life. Without it... without Qi as the counterpoint engine inside of these prisms, there would be just darkness... the movie projecter shut off... plato's cave without the fire. When Masaru Emoto came up with the idea of photographing frozen water crystals embedded with thought patterns and environmental influences, it all made sense how Qi and Water could mix and not disentegrate each other... only water could hold something so powerful, because of it's passive nature Thinking about the trigram for water mixing with fire... two yin lines, one yang integrating with two yang lines, one yin San jiao (triple metabolism) holding both Yuan Qi and Water... conduit of both kinetic and potential... source of the source Interstitial fluid, lymphatic fluid, cranio-sacral fluid, oxytocin, endorphins, ying, xue, jing.... Yes.. ! K On Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 10:55 AM, mystir <ykcul_ritsym wrote: > > I > liked your ideas a lot John, and followed the links to see what its > about.

As far as teachings go, do not rely upon the words alone, but rely upon the meaning that underlies them. Regarding the meaning, do not rely upon the provisional meaning alone, but rely upon the definitive meaning. And regarding the definitive meaning, do not rely upon ordinary consciousness, but rely upon wisdom awareness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
