The Golden And Infinite Truth About Tai Chi Chuan

The Golden And Infinite Truth About Tai Chi Chuan

By:


The absolute truth of the martial art known as Tai Chi Chuan is easily seen in a symbol that nobody understands. If you read to the end of my words here you will understand that symbol, and it will enlighten your practice of the martial arts. I am speaking of that symbol of the grand terminus which we call yin yang.

The Yin Yang symbol is two fishes swimming is night and day is good and evil is...poppycock. The Yin Yang symbol has nothing to do with those poetic but truncated observations possible to our short lived species. The Ying Yang symbol is actually a quite mechanistic approach and empirical observation to our universe.

Everything in the universe can be defined as a motor. A motor can be understood as tension between two objects. Doesn't matter whether the tension lives as push or pull, just that the tension exists, and that is what holds our universe together and...pushes it apart.

An atom, with electron and proton, forever chasing and never catching, is a motor. A cell, with potassium and sodium bubbling their happy little lives away, is a motor. And this dichotomous viewpoint of the universe can be extended through all the combined motors, which are called machines, up to the attraction and repulsion of celestial bodies of the most intense and largest magnitude.

When you do Tai Chi you are pulsing energy up the legs, across the generator, and down the legs. Back and forth, alternating current, causing the generator, called the Tan Tien, to bubble its unique energy, called chi. Imagine the generator as a little cup of tea, being swirled, not to slosh, but to be mixed in yin yang motorific fashion, just enough to froth just a bit of steamy chi.

As you do Tai Chi you become aware of the space that your body occupies in space, and awareness hollows out the receptacle for this chi. Eventually the golden elixir, summoned far more efficiently and efficaciously than any ancient alchemist might believe, fills the body, becomes responsive to the wish and desire of the student/philosopher. Good health, strength and endurance, mental clarity, all are the product of a body made to function the way it was designed to be functioned.

Animals do Tai Chi, and wonder why we don't. Babies are possessed of Tai Chi, and robbed of it through the cultural expectations which accompany the aging process. And, the space of yourself being attained, you know the answer...who you were before you were born, and who you are after you die.

I sell nothing by telling you of this, I only search for people who can understand, and give away my knowledge. Can you have what I have said? Can you realize the truth of the eternal you that all love and none see?
