The "kunlun system" is what Max calls his entire suite of various practices. If you just want Jenny Lamb´s yi gong -- what Max has called kunlun -- you might still be able to get it by buying her Qigong for Self-Heaing dvd. Eastern Internal Arts Institute

Doing fine, thanks zerostao!

It´s good to use our own irritations as an investigative tool to bring our own less-than-enlightened qualities to awareness. Not so good -- outside of very special circumstances -- to use other people´s irritations to suggest they have a problem. Most people don't take kindly to that maneuver.

There´s a lot to be said for following where the energy is, finding what "hits the spot." My mom has done commision paintings before but always thinks the work she does for herself is better quality -- probably because she chooses the subject and it´s always something that interests her. I think I might know Person C. Qigong, to me, is like a specific tool. You´ve got your qigong hammer and your qigong wrench, qigong to tonify the liver, qigong to open the hips. Taiji, by contrast, is more holistic -- each form is the whole shabang, the entire workshop, a mini version of the universe that mirrors the larger Universe. Similarly, other Daoist arts are also the whole universe. Feng Shui can be the whole universe, flower arranging ditto, tea, etc. To a certain kind of person, qigong can be frustrating because when they´re working on tonifying their liver qi or whatever, everything else that is not that qigong, all the rest of it, tugs at their consciousness. Some people want to work with the whole or nothing. Anyway, this is my theory. Not sure if it would mean anything or not to Person C.

I´m trying to think of something funny to say, but faster, whittier Bums keep jockeying ahead of me.

When i signed up for this mod gig, I was told it would be easy. I think I was taken for a ride.

I´m used to it though. Some Bums are always trying to cause a stirrup.

I disagree. This snakey behavior is so last year.

Normally the contentiousness would bother me, but this year I´m feeling rather equine about it.

Agreed. Especially since we had a gallop poll and everything!

Maybe they figured with me hangin´ round that one flamer was enough? https://youtu.be/gfpsnT5BBgs?si=Bjzcg1NF31LkOJMN

Take it from a drifter, if you´ve been practicing the same system for two years and feel the benefits, you´re doing pretty darn great!

We had to work with the banner image a little because it wasn´t the right size at first. Ended up using a version of the horse with a little brighter colors but the same idea. Hope you like it!

Still working through some technical difficulties but should have it in final form soon.

In the interest of rolling out the banner image as expeditiously as possible, the poll is now closed. Horse number Two pulled ahead and is the winner. Thanks to every one who suggested possible images and gave their opinion along the way. Forward!
