Melt with the universe.
I like that.

 

The other day I had the thought to meditate with the universe/God.

I've got about 2% of everything I need to do completed.

 

I've got to finish editing about 10 hours of video, etc. as well as overdub it in English.

 

This seems interesting. Good luck on your efforts! :) I'd like to hear more about your teacher, like his personal life story, etc., his views and so on.

I don't want to say much about him, because it will seem like I'm trying to hype him up.

 

I guess everyone does that with their teacher, and everyone believes their teacher is the best. :)

 

As you maybe know the "official" lineage at wudang is San Feng pai. There are some heavy politics about that which I don't want to talk about . . . He is Mozhen (needle grinding) pai which is no longer public at Wudang. Not that it's hidden or secret - Just that San Feng pai is what's recognized by the government.

 

He's 83. Moves better than me at 33. Cured himself of Parkinsons. Was a Mandarin teacher at university 40 years ago or so.

 

Here's an unedited video of some movement clips:

Here's an unedited video of him talking about meditation:

What I'm going to make available is the complete Lao Jun (an honorific sort of name for Lao Zi) system with his book (about 5% or less was above) on Xin Yu (Heart Language), the entire movement system (takes about 2 hours to complete if you do it all but it's not necessary to do it all), the meditation stuff, theory videos, some audio material, etc.

 

No hype. It's not going to lead you to consumation "quick". It's not for getting worldly powers. It's not for having trippy "experiences".

 

It's for enlightening to what you are, what your responsiblity is and to whom, and then living accordingly.

 

It will take me a while to finish, because a lot of what he says doesn't even make sense in Chinese at the surface level and there's a lot of old words and combinations of old words that have different meanings when put together that modern Chinese can't even understand, much less me who has barely scratched the surface of the language.

I see your predicament. It's too bad. Anyway, I watched how your teacher moves and I know how wonderful he is. He has so much kindness and strength and wisdom. :)

 

But I recognize this wonder because I myself am also wonderful like that. :) Hahaha... I know what he is doing. I don't need to understand the secret symbols because the root of all symbolism is within me. Are you like me?

 

I am interested in hearing more from you personally, regardless of your teacher.

Are you like me?

 

 

Probably not. :D

 

I am mostly incompetent and lucky, but not much in the way of wonderful.

 

If you want to talk you can feel free to email me at general (at) taoisttraining.com (as can anyone). I am super busy at the moment so don't read taobums so much as I was before and that is the best way to contact me about whatever. . .

 

Since I don't want to take up a lot of time in another message I will say here that I'm back in Kunming for a bit, and just these days Shaolin has been set to take over two temples here.

It will be interesting.

 

I hope Wudang culture is spread far, but I hope they don't go much further down this road than they already are . . .

I translated some more video (not the ones on youtube - I haven't put this up yet) today, but I haven't over dubbed it. Here's the transcript:

 

---------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

What I just said is Generally about Wudang Lao Jun Yang Sheng Gong

 

Now I'll talk about the details about Wudang Lao Jun Yang Sheng Gong

 

Lao Jun Yang Sheng Gong has a deep and magical power generally

 

The reason why it's deep and magical

 

it has two parts and the first part is meditation

 

The other part is movement

 

At the first part meditation has nine steps

 

And the nine steps are higher and higher and higher

 

The first step is callled the heart language of putting away the mind

 

The second step, what do we do after putting away the mind

 

After you put it away then you relieve the mind

 

And after you put away and relieve it you need to clean it up

 

The trash on the floor, on the wall, and on the ceiling all cleaned up

 

Our mind and brain has to be clean and clear

 

This clean means clean and clear

 

And another step is becoming quiet

 

Cant be so noisy and have the firecrackers and crazy drum noises - It's not good

 

Have to make your mind quiet

 

After it's clean and quiet that was the preparation of meditation

 

With silence in so we can do the meditation

 

The first step of making silence inside and opening up for meditation is to save or hold something in your mind and its also called "hold something in your spirit or thoughts"

 

With an empty mind, totally blank is not enough

 

You have to think about something

 

What do we think? It's called "Holding something in your spirit or thoughts"

 

Think about your own body and your own jing-chi-shen

 

Put your knees in front of you as wide as your shoulders

 

Think about something good for your health

 

This is called "holding something in your spirit or thoughts"

 

It is like no-self - there's no me in this world . . .

 

Then the heaven and the earth and the "me" are merged and melted together

 

It's called "Human and heavens mixed together"

 

The sky and the human and the earth the three things are melted together

 

At this attainment status

 

If you have any small problems with your body they will all be gone

 

That's why Lao Jun Yang Sheng Gong can be good for your health

 

You can be healthy without any injections or medicine

 

That's the secret of it

 

That's the first part and besides that

 

There are three ways to meditate

 

One is sitting quietly

 

and the second is lying down

 

And the third is standing up

 

So the three ways are sitting, lying and standing up

 

And the second part is movement

 

It has five steps

 

One is to make the joints lubricated

 

And make all the joints in our body so lubricated and flexible

 

Flexible Like the rolling balls

 

And another step is to condition the qi and the blood

 

Make qi and blood flow in the body easily

 

The third step is to make the tendons and bones strong

 

Make the tendons and bones flexible and hard

 

And one step is morning gong

 

Morning gong is called featherized longevity running

 

The reason it's featherized is think like you are a piece of a feather

 

Make yourself like a light and small feather

 

And so light so you can run

 

One step is evening gong

 

and it's called free walking in space

 

To make you feel like wandering in space or the heavens

 

This is the details and system of lao jun gong

 

When we talked about sitting it has three contents

 

Sitting with something in your mind, sitting with no self and sitting with heaven and earth

 

sitting with something in your mind, sitting with no self, and sitting with heaven and earth

 

Featherized longevity running and free walking in space

 

The way those gongs can help you is you can be said Wudang Lao Jun Gong makes you become immortal

 

In China the tallest old man, the old man with the greatest dao de

 

Cure hundreds of diseases and make you go back to youth

 

Even if you had cancer it can be cured with it

 

Make your body and mind healthy without injections and medicines

 

It seems to be so magical that it has so many benefits for you

 

IT's kind of magical but when you do it it's so simple

 

Because most people who do it are middle aged and old it can't be so difficult

 

So we have to learn from the nature and also make it simple

 

Then the spirit of the gong can be seen by many people

 

This is the main benefits of Wudang Lao Jun Gong

 

Next I will show you the Lao Jun Gong

 

A rigid posture is not so important to meditation . . .
