All right shall be reserved within this document according to current copyright laws. This document is meant as a guide or map to the user/reader. It is subject to change and is presented in a manner to which is intended to merely wet the readers apetite as the writer is not intending to explain everything in a very precise manner therby giving the reader full knowledge of it, but rather so that the reader may go about discovering and exploring on their own therby gaining greater understanding and use therof to which otherwise I would not be able to give at such a great extent.
Part One: A Very Brief Explanation and Theory of Creation, its Properties and Effects Everything that you see is composed of what is otherwise known as chi, or energy-matter, life force, psychic energy, or subtle energy, etc.. It can be seen fairly clearly as containing two parts, that being, a positive and negative, a dark and a light, a female and male. It is known as yin yang, but is also called duality by western mind. It is the first and most apparent division of chi, true chi contains no properties and appears and is felt in perfect balance. A single grain of it can evolve/devolve into any other type of thing/energy. It is the substance for which you are made of and for which you are continually sustained upon. There are a number of different ways in which one extracts or draws this substance into their body, both naturally and consciously, for which I shall hope to describe some techniques and explanations later. For now, I will continue to describe how things are built and what those things are. The first, as we have already touched upon briefly, is chi, the chi being divided into yin yang, and the yin yang being divided into further levels. For example, To take the elements into consideration, Fire or light would be positive and water or darkness negative. From here we have further divisions in earth being that of fire first and foremost with a hint of water. From air we have water with a hint of fire. Or more simply Positive positive (fire), negative negative (water), positive negative air), Negative positive (earth). As one can probably guess, these can be divided and combined further and further, I will however go on to other things. A very main or important aspect of creation or the whole/one is love. The counter to love being hate. Within love comes many smaller aspects, such as that of mercy, forgiveness, and compassion. Each with their own respective but similar qualities, meanings, and feelings. For Hate we have that of condemnation, revenge, and insensitivity. Furthermore, compassion can then become or grow into (or downto/upto if you prefer) understanding. As well, insensitivity can become its opposite, correctly named misinterpretation. This being one view, at its most extremes, it is subject to infallacies, do not be stuck though, the answers are there and will only take a bit of effort and observation to find that middle ground in earth and air for which unites the two. Firstly let us look to the buddhist teaching of finding bliss in pain. For starters let go back to how there can be pain in love. Something quite simple really and mostly well known is that love hurts. It causes longing for instance. And even something such as lust which is viewed as more negative can grow from it. And even further from lust can be rape, a very negative and vile thing. But as you see, it takes a process or sequence of events to get to all of this. A process that can be controlled and avoided. A process that is continually happening, the likes of which we call change. The source of change being human beings and other intelligent manifestations that inhabit creation. To find bliss in pain one must go onto create the opposite effect that I have explained regarding the love (positive) turning to rape (negative). This can be done, and it can be done quite successfully, it can also be quite difficult. It depends on what you not only know, but understand, preferably through your own personal firsthand experience. I say personal, because I am attempting overall to place importance on the individual, for it is a solution to a great problem. That problem is that there is too much knowledge and not enough understanding. And so hopefully by practicing and reading this one will begin to grow from and for themselves more, rather than the current from others for others. And so we conclude the first part, consider it a while before continueing, and you may discover that without man or other capable beings, there would be no change and yin and yang would forever cancel each other out and more or less cease to exist. [img]http://qi-journal.com/PhilosophyArticles/Photos/WuJiDiagram.gif?IctQual=100[/img] "Increase your understanding, increase your awareness, increase your awareness, increase your ability" Incompleteness: Im sure you are asking what it is that mankind and other beings have that is able to cause such change and tip the scales of balance. The thing wich we are most certainly wondering of is that which makes you who you are. It is that which makes the world and creation the way it is. It is that which both binds and splits the cosmic energies of nonexistance. It is that which causes change and all manner of things one can think of. It has been called tao, the unknowable. It is choice. But what is choice? And there is your answer. For there isnt one. Choice is a thing for which we cannot view directly, it is a thing for which we only see its effects and causes. Yet it is apparently a thing that is part of the whole, otherwise we wouldnt know of its existance at all, for how can you imagine what is unimaginable? Now, Being it so that all yin and yang cancels each other out, all rules are out the window besides what one makes for themselves. Agreed. The only rules one must abide by (when dealing with self) is what they choose. If you choose wrong, so be it, right so be it, death, so be it, life, power, greed, love, light, whatever you wish that is your choosing and perfectly ok if you are able to be responsible for that. And I say responsible because one is judged by their choices. Thats right, not by what they do or accomplish, but by their choice, after all the deed is only an effect of that which you choose, sometimes a mistakenly undesirable effect. In consequence to choice, and what I have so far explained, being that yin and yang cancel each other out and become nothing, that the only deciding factor is the thing called choice or tao which we as human beings posess, it is true and accurate to say, on the whole, that nothing is true and everything is true. That all things can be proven wrong and all things can be proven right. That no thing is ever unbeatable and that all things are both possible and impossible. And so we have the great dillemma, one man asserts that he is right, the other that the man before is wrong and that he himself is actually the one who is right. Which is really quite silly however lets say the first man was saying things are bright and cheery while the second said that things are dark and gloomy? One negative the other positive, both asserting correctness. Yet we, if we are able to understand correctly enough, are knowing that they are both correct. And perhaps the men do as well, yet they still fight and argue. The reason being choice. And I think anyone with enough sense will find sooner or later that humans, over all or generally speaking prefer the postive over the negative as a lasting permanent effect. And so, as majority goes we have the balanced tip and a little right on the side of the positive and good, yet it is not full righteousness and should never be considered as such. For both are true. In effect, it throws not only right and wrong out the window, but everything else as well, including what I have already explained in previous. And so we are left with just the one thing this entire discussion is about, choice and you yourself. Not the soul, not the spirit, not the mind nor brain not anything else, for all of those can be explained away in any possible direction and so are faulty. Choice, for which you have, and for which you do not understand or know and for which you are at your very deepest. "Global consciousness starts with the idividual, and it certainly isnt accomplished by following others, for they too are in ignorance" Initiate: And so having explained everything and explored and considered, we shall start. Firstly, remove all beliefs, because they can be proven wrong. Next, remove all knowledge and currently held theories, ideas, and proofs or facts, for they can also be explained against. You may go as far as you want with this, and remove all knowledge if you so choose and are able to do. Now, keep this for a time of your choosing, I would suggest as long as possible. You may even take breaks and come back to it later as well. Become a child again. Now approach all things with an open and serious mind. And I mean all things, free of influence of anykind wether it be peer pressure or fear. And If one does have fear, consult with another about how to approach this and explore this as well. If one dislikes death or anything else negative, approach this and it explore it. Try to understand the whole. Explore the darkness and the light, and unite the two and see them in each other. The best way to go about this, in summary, is by and through choice, and the choice be it truth, cold and dark or light and warm, all truth and nothing but the truth. Become the individual, and realize your ability by looking at what you contain, and what is contained and sustained within and through you. It is time for men to become their greatest realization. "take all the great theories, postulates, and minds and you have a human being in his full right as he should be. Take all the junk thats left, and you have what people choose to be."
