Message>>>>> I have been thinking few years that I could translate into Finnish Eric Steven Yudelove's aforementioned book to which I am not myself completely satisfied, but which is anyway authorized by Mantak Chia (...Eric has created a true Taoist spiritual masterpiece. -foreword, MANTAK CHIA). Until now there has been only translation of "Taoist Ways to Transform Stress into Vitality" into Finnish, which has somehow very limited content. It's simply not very representative. >>>>>
Hello What is it in the book you donīt like?
>>>>>>> I'm also aware of these later public intricacies of Yudeloves personal life, which have been dealt shortly in this forum.>>>>>>>
Yes it seems like he have had a lot of problem with himself, but I am not shore either how reliable the sources is, the newspaper article. An interesting question I have tried to lift up on this forum is wether his crisis is a sign of dangers with this practise. Michael Winn have prefered not to answer questions on this, for watever reasons. Itīs realy up to hem to decide if this subject is worth talking about. Another question is if it is dangerous to mix so many high spiritual practises as Yudelove have been doing. Western and Jewich Kabbalah and Schamanism and Universal tao and more.
>>>>>>>So should one actually regard this book having some teachings which are not authentic from the point of Daoist tradition? >>>>>>
It seems to me that the most of the contents of the book is quite similar to what Mantak Chia is teaching. I am not aware of any content being non taoists, as far as I know. Of course it might be a litle bit suspect with having other sources for information about exercises, as Yudelove states. Contact with the immortals?
>>>>>>I dont't like his book "The Tao & the Tree of Life", because he is mixing Daoist practices with Kabbalah, Crowley, Thelema etc. because my long past friends during the teenage years, who were also interested about these and especially Lavey's satanism, were seemingly actively experimenting with magic mushrooms and all kinds of controlled or simply illegal substances beside boozing. Finland had never such visible black metal movement like for example Norway, but I have seen enough of those guys who either are trying to learn to be evil or already are. >>>>>
I like the book "The Tao and the Tree of Life", beacase it shows some important similarities betwean this different practises and beacase it is such a good description of the Universal tao practises, in a simple jet comprehensive way. I might be naive in this area but I have to tell you there is no satanism or black magick or other dark forces descibed in the book as far as I remember. But I am not so interested in satanism and the like, so I might not know enough to say if it is enogh to be suspisous of the book beacase of it taking up knowledge from this areas.
>>>>>>So for my perception there is no other deviations from Healing/Universal Tao
lineage than this replacing the bakuas (in Chia's first Fusion book there's four instead of six) with Yudelove's "Star in the Circle." >>>>>>>>
What do you meen by Yudeloves star in the Circle and with the last paragraph in general, is it possible for you to be more clear in this matter. I am a litle bit stupid. What I have heard M Winn didnīt want the extra chapters in Mantakīs Fusion book beacase it is realy higher practises from Kan and Li. And if I udnerstund it right it might be dificult of bad to go into this higher practises to early.
With regards
