MessageHi Michael,
Questions 1 and 3 make perfect sense now; thanks!
Question 4: Oh, OK--no problem. I'll get there eventually. I can wait until then.
My only difficulty resides with Question 2.
--------
As to question 2 and its answer:
2. On a personal, individualistic level, how does one cause change without
interfering with self-acceptance? If you try to fix things or try to improve yourself, you become critical and self-acceptance goes down the drain. If you just focus on self-acceptance, how could there be any progress since no reason is seen to be different? Is it just a balancing act, or is there something else going on?
M; Accept the Life Force process as your Self.
S: This is hard for me as I'm not sure "what the life force process is".
I'm guessing that by doing more qigong, internal alchemy, etc., you are able to better connect with it, internalize its direction, understand its movement, and align its change with yourself?
In other words, how do you know if the change that you are seeking is
a manifestation of the natural change evolving from the lifeforce, or is
just some artificial "forced" construct we create as individuals?
This natural change vs. forced change is difficult for me to distinguish.
I don't know if this makes any sense.
Thanks again!
Best,
Steven
