    So essentially I dont care about accumulating energy, chi circulations...

     

     

    Accumulation of energy/chi in the grand sense is still always favourable. As the energy continues to build up, slowly but surely it will begin to destroy dormant blockages and tensions. Energy is like water beating against the rock-like blockage. The soft will always overcome the hard by the end. If you do not specifically know the root of your problems, and are just guessing, then it might be difficult to deal with the issue directly. So continue to keep your energy work/accumulation as an active part of your life, and let your body heal itself.

     

    The body is a self-regulating system, all we have to do is permit it to do it's job. :)

     

    Hope this helps at all!

     

    All the best.

    Uncle Iroh: You're looking at the rare white dragon bush. Its leaves make a tea so delicious it's *heartbreaking!* That, or it's the white jade bush, which is poisonous.

    Prince Zuko: We need food, not tea. I'm going fishing.

    [exits]

    Uncle Iroh: Hmm... Delectable tea, or deadly poison?

     

    Uncle Iroh: Zuko, remember that plant that I thought might be tea?

    Prince Zuko: You didn't.

    Uncle Iroh: I did... and it wasn't.

    [turns revealing his red, swollen face]

    Prince Zuko: Yah!

    Uncle Iroh: When the rash spreads to my throat I will stop breathing. But look what I found!

    [holds up a branch of berries]

    Uncle Iroh: These are pakui berries, known to cure the poison of the white jade plant. That, or makaola berries that cause blindness.

     

    One of my favorite moments of the show! I love Uncle Iroh so much :D. Thanks for the memories!!

    If anyone could pull off the following kind of story, it would be the Wachowski siblings! It seems they are quite spiritual in their nature, having dealt with themes like "the illusion of Maya" and "self-realization" in their Matrix trilogy. Now this is what they have in store:...

     

     

    It looks quite promising, I just hope they haven't packed TOO MUCH and failed to develop anything in particular substantially. Unless it's like 3 hours long.. (update: it will be 2hrs 44 mins)

     

    Any thoughts? :)

    "However, the dynamical structure of quantum

     

    theory contains certain causal gaps. In particular, the process-1 agent-generated choices

     

    of probing actions are determined, within the theory, neither by the physically described

     

    aspects of nature, nor by any non-human agency. Thus, within the framework of orthodox

     

    quantum mechanics, the process-1 probing actions are, according to the specified

     

    criterion, manifestations of human free will, and they have, by virtue of the dynamical

     

    rules of quantum theory itself, the capacity to influence, in consciously intended ways,

     

    the physical actions of the agent. Thus the passage from classical mechanics to quantum

     

    mechanics converts human beings from mechanical automata to causally efficacious

     

    conscious agents whose conscious intentional efforts can, by virtue of the quantum laws

     

    themselves, cause to occur the intended physical action and increase in knowledge."

     

     

    Interesting. Who said that?

     

    Well, personally, the mentality of spirituality is to not take anything as fact unless it is supported by personal experience. And even then, contemplate it endlessly. My personal experience does not yet encompass wisdom of quantum mechanics, so I cannot speak on it, or know where to place the piece into reality's puzzle.

     

    I'll tell you this though, the study of life through external means would get you a fraction of results that inner realization can, and has by present and past mystics. (Although I love science's contribution, and is definitely an important piece to our life). My personal advice still, don't attach to external information while it still evolves to full comprehension. Nice post nonetheless. However I can't do anything with it. It is just brain-talk, and gives no wisdom, which actually has potential in solidifying ignorance.

    Ouff. The free will debate. How long have you boggled my mind. But to every question there's an answer they say. So, does free will exist? An answer must exist, that's for sure :P.

     

    Someone argued with me being pro-free-will saying, "If I wanted to, I COULD go out right now, and kill someone. Or jump on my computer desk at work and scream! So, free will exists!"

     

    Ahh. But the theoretical ideas of these actions and reality are two different things. Sure, free will exists theoretically. But, does it exist in my experience? I could FORCE myself to jump on the desk, but wasn't that simply a result of my mind trying to prove to itself that free will exists, and therefore acting accordingly to its specific nature under these specific circumstances? Another cause and effect in motion. My jumping on the desk had a cause behind it, and the mind was conditioned to its specific decision in its reaction. So, no, it's not out of the flow of life.

     

    Hmm... But then I go higher, my awareness grows. Now I act fully in the present moment. I start to live a life of creation, instead of reaction. But all that means is that my awareness was ripe enough from its experience to change the ways it perceives reality. And so, it still remains an inevitable occurrence that has happened to me, even though now I feel so different compared to how other people live and decide. Nonetheless, free will remains a mystery.

     

    Then I wrap my head around an idea: There is no time. It is an illusion that is created by a relative point of reference created by my body's location in space. Time is movement through space. If my body or awareness occupied infinite space, I would not know time. And the idea of free will vs. determinism would equally fly out of the window... Hmm.

     

    But then I can go even higher... to realms I am currently unfamiliar with in my experience, so I can't comment any further. And so, free will still remains a mystery. :)

     

    The above is a description of my personal evolution towards my understanding of free will. Hope it helped at all.

     

    Peace,

    Yes, escaping is the cunning ego's tendency. Instead embrace it all. Don't think too much, but feel it all. Suddenly, the veil begins to be pierced, light shines from within and merges with the external beauty never before noticed. A brief connection is made, but now it's time to cultivate it, and always to remember these brief glimpses of truth that occur when you truly surrender to your own existence and experience.

     

    Much love, thank you for your thoughts.

     

    Peace,
