Herbs and babes in Italy

[Guest guest]

He says mysteriously. But the fact is Tibet under the rule of the Khans had a

powow and invited all nations to show thier medical and spiritual best, Marco

Polo was in the future still. The great meeting of the 10th or so century,

codified Tibetan medicine.  This shows how open the old world was.

 Now the mideast is in bloody war, and it breaks my heart, because the world

can't see the beauty, that they were the ones who kept the 'sciences' alive

during the dark ages, for hundreds of years. Silk road.

  The middle east is the lands of legend, affecting historically the whole old

world commerce and culture. If there was peace there, the whole world could see

what a cultural and historic gem for the human race they would bring. Persian,

Jewish, Babylonian, Zoarostrian, peace.

  Most of the world is repulsed by the violence there, but it's sadly

understandable. It's a small town, ok. But I'm not stupid, and, our history and

my teachers  and history, shows how special the things people have contributede

to the world, how honorably and briliantly they've lived.

 And why does a guy from stupid middle america care? cause I'm an outsider, who

my whole life had good parents who talked about the beauty of the old world, how

it was so peaceful and intelligent and the courts were the most most wise. Not

like the lynching frenzy of american west. I'm of european descent, I loved my

grandfather, used to sit by his chair, and hear the things he'd say.

 Silk road. Now it's a  global memory with planes and trains. Carbombs and

kills, since the first world war. Used to be paradise, like the carribean wants

to be. But hell follows our feet close.

 So, when an acupuncturist in the united states,  becomes a millionaire, I think

great!

 The dude is good with the system. when i hear of some one, a patient who goes

real bad, i blame just me. so, when i spent 15 years trying to unite our field,

and i see the same old money, no wonder they want nothing to do with me. I just

wanna have fun. And I will.

 

 Nei P'ien of Ko Hung, (excerpts)

 God (the Tao), enwombed Perfect

Unity and cast in their mold the two symbols ( the straight and broken

line= yang and yin). God breathed forth Grand Beginning and forged the

thousands of genera. God turns the cycle of the 28 celestial mansions

and fashions the beginnings of things. God is the rein and whip for the

whole complex of spiritual powers and blows the breaths characterizing

the four seasons. God holds in embrace all vast, silent space; enfolds

in relaxed embrace all that is brilliant. Surpressing the turbid, and

promoting the clear, God distinguishes between the muddy Yellow river,

and its turbulent affluent, the Wei. Additions do not make God

overflow, nor do withdrawals exhaust God. What is given does not

glorify, and depradations do no harm. Where God is present, joy is

inexhaustible; whomever abandons God, finds his body declining, and his

inner gods departing.

Hi All and Gabriele:

Yes, indeed! Rumors about Hyppocratic Medicine brought to Tibet and China in

about 360 a.D., are in the air.

I think it is part of our misunderstanding of the past that people kind of just

hung around in one area picking their... . Actually there has been quite a

regular transfer of goods and information between all world cultures for a long

long long time. Premodern world markets were vibrant exciting places that rival

modern cultural centres of exchange.

 

 

 

How do I know all this? I was there... (he says mysteriously)
