MessageHi all,
When I was young I saw the movie Marco Polo and there was a Taoist hermit who taught about the way and what yin/yang was. It was true and poetic and that was good but that was all. Learning Tai Chi was a begining of physical embodiment of yin/yang balance and centeredness and that was good but that was all. But somewhere, sometime, somehow unbeknownst to me I started thinking two conflicting thoughts, doing one of them and being unhappy about it, that was not good and that was not all. It still continues to this day having conflict within myself, that is not good and that was not all. I notice 99.8% of people are the same and that is not good. Others represent it differently like, "It's almost impossible to be impartial.". Impartial means without parts ie judgement.
There is the way of no way and that is the center. Through the kindness of all and practices like Fusion and recapitulation, etc. there is another embodiment. Now there are times where someone verbally attacks me, I am centered, but it DOESN'T BOTHER ME and that is good. The key is embodiment.
I have to cut this short because I have to attend to other things. But the point is for me I have found that words and feelings/emotions are tied together. It is only when you deal with both and through meditative practices that you center and ground yourself. IT IS AN ENERGETIC PHENOMENON to be lived, not something that happens by talking about it. When you do, your inner self is impartial and not bothered by other people's outbursts. Regards.
