Tai Chi is consuming me. Waking up every morning around four o”clock to play Tai Chi is giving me a new and fresh feeling daily. Lately, it’s dragon that is taking my concentration. She is very whimsical and flight of foot. She sends me to work every day feeling as if I could fly, yet remain so grounded, rooted if you will, as I take each step up the train platform steps to my daily ride to work. She has not let me down and she is guiding me. I can feel the snake coming on behind her. I feel their presence approaching, I must not resist. I will soften and yield, and absorb. I needed to post this video in commemoration of my time spent with the dragon.

Jesus’ first Miracle and the Original Wombman
According to the bible, Jesus’ first miracle was to turn water into wine. This was, as what some say, Jesus’ wedding. Whether this was Jesus’ wedding or not it is curious that Mary, Jesus’ mother, Mother of God, is concerned with the amount of wine left for wedding. That being said, It is upon the word sound of Mary, his mother that Immanu-El meaning God with us, changed water to wine.
It’s long been understood that the primary physical manifestation of “thee” deity, creator of life, was seen as the feminine of the species for thousands of years on Earth. The impetus for the first miracle in Immanu-El’s (Jesus’) service to his people came at the urging of his Mother. In my own mind, I can imagine the early years of Immanu-El’s (Jesus’) life his mother was the one teaching him how use the “God” given talents he was blessed with. A mother knows her child, his personality, and understood his gifts as Mary herself was born of immaculate conception and may have descended from a long line of “favored” women.
On Mary’s persistence, to use the power’s she had honed in her son, Immanu-El changed the water to wine on the word of the feminine principle. Its plain to see the foundation for Immanu-El’s power lands squarely on the magical wisdom of a wombman.
Death Is Just Another Side Of Life.
The Angel of Death by Evelyn De Morgan
How many of us think about death? What comes to mind? I bet the picture that comes to most minds are the death of a loved one or maybe even our own demise. But, have you ever thought of death when winter comes and the skies turn gloomy and the trees turn brown? Or, maybe when the sun sits low in the southern hemisphere during the “cold” months, before it begins it’s journey back to the north? “Death“, my father used to say, “is another side of life“. And I’ve come to realize he was saying a lot in those few words. In the world of Tarot the Death card symbolizes change. I think now, that’s exactly what my old man was saying.
Recently, I’ve been mourning the death of relationships in my life. I never really thought about relationships ending to be a kind of death, until a friendship I had, “changed.” This person was, as some of we Southern Californians say, “the homie.” Or, as the text world puts it today a BFF…lol. But, I’ve come to realize the final “F” in the text means for the life of the friendship not necessarily until we take our last breath.
Even more recently, I’ve come to deal with the fact that family relationships “change” like friendships. Even though one is your brother or sister, there seems to be some growth apart. That loving friendship you once had with a sibling or relative that you grew up with and may have even lived in the same house while growing up, come to an end like friendships.
Most sad of all, are the relationships that end for no apparent reason. They just seem to go away, to change. I guess we just grow apart. It’s not a good feeling to know that this change will no longer bring the comedic calls from a brother or sister at any hour of the night or day. No longer do one’s brother or long time friends rejoice when you return home after being away for a long period of time. Yes, death is another side of life. Simply life “changes.”

Real or Unreal…Is it really petty?

“Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. ”
Yeshua-Matthew 5:23-24
While surfing the blogshere I came across this site. The post was interesting however, one sided. It brought to mind the above passage spoken by Yeshua to his disciples, and how to “get right with God” as some prefer to call what Yeshua meant by presenting one’s gift at the altar. I fully understand everyone is not a Christian, including myself, but there are universal truths that coalesce along all faiths and religions of which we can gain wisdom and understanding. As I read the post I couldn’t help but see that the writer was intent upon defending her friend “Candy” rather than looking at the big picture.
Clearly, their mutual friend, “Lollipop” had hurt feelings and often hurt feelings can explode into a shouting match. And, surely if these ladies “Candy” and “Lollipop” are friends as Arielle says, then it seems to me “Candy” would have forewarned “Lollipop” of her intentions not to include her in the activity because “Candy” “had not figured out how to include her”. Even if “Candy” hurt “Lollipop’s” feelings when telling her she would not participate in this particular activity, she would have known her position.
If “Candy” ,”Lollipop” and Arielle were to observe the above passage, observe their minds and the actions that led up to the yelling, the actions during the yelling and the ending results they may come to a different conclusion about what is petty and what is not. It could be that what appears to be petty on the surface may be hiding a deeper sense of pain that had little to do with “Lollipop’s” non inclusion in the activity, but more of a sense of a loss of being included as a real and true friend.
All too often in the defense of ourselves, friends or family we will see only the things that matter for our or their defense and not the full picture. From the passage above, Yeshua is seemingly showing that it’s just as or more important to maintain and retain a relationship with our friends as a first rung of a step to attaining and maintaining a relationship with the Great Spirit. Without this there can be no real relationship with The Most High. I would say to “Candy”, “Lollipop” and Arielle examine what your relationships really are. If they are not true and real, then sever what you have or rearrange what you may have to fit how you really feel about each other and act accordingly. Then come back and present your gift to your God.
New Technology vs Old Techonolgy
My daughters and their friends were having a conversation that began when daughter KD said “I hate Dreamweaver!!!” Daughter M responded with “huh?” Friend L said “didn’t Chris Rock just make a movie about that???” But, KD sharply retorted “I’m working on my website silly.” Friend R then said, “yeah KD, I know what you’re talking about because we are masters of technology.” Humph, I thought. Technology is certainly the order of the day, but, technology as we understand it seems to be restricted to machines, their programs and their functions.
Machines created by human beings have now somehow become revered or at least believed, on a certain level to be more remarkable or powerful than its human creators. How have we come to this? The creation is greater than the creator? Our creations are merely extensions of our own minds and bodies. When I was studying the external forms for Kung fu, my teacher taught us, during weapons training, that the weapon should be viewed as an extension of our own appendage. So, if you were working with a dagger, sword, saber or a staff it was taught that the weapon is basically assimilated to us, not us to the weapon. Today, we are allowing ourselves to be assimilated by the creation.
Our masters of technology, master the inner workings of the creation but, rarely give thought to the notion that the body, the human body, is a creation to be mastered or brought into a type of stasis where the mind and body function at their highest peak together. Not, just the ability master certain athletic achievements like running a marathon or hitting a homerun. But, the ability to maintain a certain level of mindfulness, suppleness, and non rigidity in movement along with breath and meditation. This is a kind of mental/physical technology that is indeed being widely overlooked.
I would certainly love to hear a conversation about the ability to master ones breath or mind to hold meditation during tempestuous times. I would love to hear the masters of technology discussing the benefits of softness and flexibility in the body and how they have learned to become soft and flexible of mind and able overcome physical obstacles from the flexibility of their minds. Yes KD and R are masters of technology but, of only half of what technology really is.
What is the Supreme Ultimate?
This s a question that’s ages old, as old as the oldest human fossil on Earth. I suppose then, The Supreme Ultimate is ageless. Without age or time. The Great Ridgepole. Indeterminate, as described by Chou Tun-i. Maybe working so hard to describe the indescribable could be in itself a futile act. There are somethings that cannot be described, cannot be bound to a word or words. Somethings have to be experienced, felt from within. I have read many thesis’ that attempt to explain the Supreme Ultimate. I love reading them, they seem to touch on the truths we all understand from our own experiences, mostly while playing Tai Chi. But, as I read these explainations I know there is so much more that cannot be put into words. Maybe the Supreme Ultimate is never to be fully explained in words? How can one explain what is in itself inexplicable, but at the same time potentially explains all?

Words are power!
There is a time and place to introduce new terms to those that may not be familiar with words that could be considered “unknown” terms. Not necessarily unknown as an English language dictionary would define, but unknown as far as everyday usage. Daily, people don’t really think about what they are saying. For instance, how often do people really think about the word careful? Do we really know we are saying full of care? Mindful is to be full of mind. How often have we said someone looks familiar and not realize we are saying someone looks like family, or of the same household. (The word family has only began to mean someone of the same genetic material in the last four to five centuries, and not anyone who was raised with you in the same household regardless of blood line.)
Words are power. The redefining of words for the positive effect and outcome can reshape how you think about things. How you interpret things being said to you by others that may have, or have bad intentions when using certain terminologies. Redefining words and terms for a manipulative purpose and for a personal material outcome can and will profit those purporting them, but its up to the reader/listener to create a shield against these powers, by fortifying their own vocabularies and not just sitting on “known” terms.
While listening to a local radio program a few years ago, Dr. Jewell Pookrum was on speaking about men and women’s health and a call came in with a complaint on his lips. He began by saying that she was speaking over his head. That, she began where he could understand her but, the more she talked she began to use words he didn’t understand. She responded by explaining that it was her duty to meet him on a road where he stood, then take him to a higher level. We have to begin to rethink what we are saying to ourselves and to one another, and begin to use words of power to reshape our worlds.
