Guest guest Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 However, the nice thing about cyberspace is that multiple conversations can go on simultaneously without interfering with one another. Some can be conversational. Others can be structured, such as CHA's online classes. I was hoping some of you out there might be interested in trying an experiment. >>>I would love to see this done. Great way to learn and review. One general question. Trying to intrepid the importance of the sequence of characters is, do we know what they were originally?

I'd ask that you use well named thread topics so that the subject of each thread is obvious. I'd also ask that responders reply under the thread heading, rather than use digest numbers, which make a single discussion very difficult to track. Personally, I think it's better to avoid the use of the word " stage " , in that it can imply a sequence of disease. IMO, " taiyang disease " refers much more to location than it does to a point in time (ie time in the progress of the disease). I prefer the word level, as it implies location a bit better, whereas stage overemphasizes time sequence. Related to this issue are the words transformation and transmutation (of disease), which are more directly related to the progress of disease through time as well as pathology, and are essential to understanding SHL.

On the other hand, as we will see, high palpable fever >can still be part of taiyang as well. -- There is a good discussion of the distinctions between heat effusion, fever, palpable fever, evil heat etc, in the overview on page 34.
