Intuition or Bust!

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:56:36 +0000

Intuition is an ill defined and much discussed term or concept, and most would agree that the discussion leads to no where fast. Few people who talk about intuition do so from the place of experiencing it on command. Even fewer are speaking from a place of knowing how to help people experience their own intuition.

There’s so much misinformation flying at us about using and developing our intuition that the worthwhile info continues to get buried under a heap of useless and impractical emotions, feelings, perceptions and sabotaging thoughts. No doubt, this will keep happening until the correct ideas become so mainstream that all the stupid talk can finally die down.

Some day the only discussion about intuition will come from our friends, the Historians. They will study the times when people did not know how to access their own intuition, and we will all shake our heads at the ridiculous antics of human beings who insisted they were only using their ‘pure, practical intuition’. (Sounds funny, doesn’t it?)

What I’m saying is, a lot of talk about a subject usually means that no one knows what he or she is talking about. If enough people did know, the subject of how to develop human intuition would be a thing of the past. Sad to say, the more misinformation circulating through the ethers about intuition means the less chance people have of actually experiencing it in this lifetime.

For example, some experts like to qualify intuition by calling it ‘pure’ or ‘practical’. Words like ‘pure’ and ‘practical’ when applied to anything always bring to mind the words like ‘impure’ and ‘impractical’, and I don’t think these adjectives can be applied to intuition with much success. They just further sully or confuse the concept of any noun, thus implying that without the word ‘pure’ or ‘practical’, intuition can be dirty and/or frivolous.

There are experts galore that tell us how to train or develop our intuition—they clog up my email inbox on a daily basis. Wouldn’t the best way to ‘develop’ intuition come from someone who actually uses intuition—someone who realizes that intuition doesn’t need developing or training?

Intuition is just there hanging out, waiting in our human tool box–waiting to be separated from the other mental processes. Happy to say, the separation takes less than sixty seconds when you know how to do it.

Speaking of which, explore what the leading Grandmaster of Shaolin Kung Fu, Kam Yuen, has to say about the subject of intuition. You can even join his private club for a monthly teaching teleseminar. Grandmaster Yuen not only explains in clear detail what intuition is, but his explanation comes from the place of one who uses it all the time and teaches others to do so.

Many experts have jumped on the intuition bandwagon without a clue about where it’s going or how to get there. Thankfully, Dr. Yuen is different. He watches the intuition bandwagon headed for nowhere and continues to make the internal adjustments that are required among those who ask for them.

Everyone is naturally endowed with intuitive ability–including men. This innate intelligence gives us the potential to expand our minds to connect with answers and answers connect with us. There is nothing spiritual or psychic about the process of intuition.

Contrary to popular talk, intuition does not need developing or training. It is just one of our mental processes. If we can separate the mind from its thinking and feeling, and separate the emotions, senses and perceptions from each other intuition will function independently and the human race will finally become ‘human’.

To Chatter is Human

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 20:40:35 +0000

Mind over chatter is a funny oxymoron.

Oftentimes my conscious mind chatters nonstop! It’s a regular dictating bastard much of the time.

Making matters worse, my mind used to think itself ‘omnipotent’, and in so doing was fooled into believing that this was so. I remember when it raced out of control over minutiae, attacking not only itself but every other component in sight, i. e the body and the spirit.

So I’ve come to this decision: My worst enemy is housed within. (A worst enemy is one you don’t identify as such.)

I suspect, though, that most everyone thinks his mind is god and I guess it sort of is. The mind, after all, is fully aware of all our weaknesses and will attack relentlessly and without mercy until there is nothing left.

People who rely on their mind too much drown in the specifics of life. Not a very comforting thought, especially since I’ve seen it happen to people I love.

I remember having a heart to heart talk about the mind vs. intuition with my friend (a male friend, of course). It wasn’t that heated, but we were going around the usual points over and over getting nowhere. And I don’t remember why I was bothering to argue about it, either.

He finally said, “It doesn’t matter what you or anyone else says, Laura. A long time ago I decided that my mind was the best thing about me. I value my logical mind above all else.”

Well, Scott,” I answered without thinking, “You might want to remember that it was your mind who decided this about itself.”

He froze in place with his mouth hanging open for a full three seconds. I felt like I’d paralyzed him with the logic he so adored by out logic-ing him, but it was pretty much an empty victory. I had no idea how to correct the pitiful situation. It’s only recently that I found something that works.

Which brings me to here—what to do about the mind. Do we just point out all the stupid decisions it’s made and berate it into submission? That won’t work. I know people who do it all the time. A mind will find a way to ignore its own ineffectiveness.

How about assigning the mind a place of equal importance along with the body and spirit? I mean there are two other components of us—called body and spirit. Rather than letting the mind put itself in the ruling position, let’s examine the equality option.

I have to say I really like the equality option. Many ‘spiritual’ teachers put the Spirit at the top of the heap, but I don’t find that very helpful. I had 12 years of religious schooling. The folks who consistently repress the flesh are incomplete and weird to the point that their personality often splits into two separate components under the pressure.

I don’t think most people realize how crazy the Spirit really is. Put bluntly, the spirit is one crazy mofo. It has access to each and every experience— not only its own, but everyone else’s, especially if you choose to go the psychic route and open yourself to other people’s spiritual experiences.

‘Lions and tigers and bears’ of the past present and future are bad enough when they are your own. Expose yourself to everyone else’s lions and tigers and bears and you’ve got bedlam to the infinite.

My point is this: The spirit is a valuable and necessary component of the mind/body/spirit triad but not a reliable teacher on its own. More often than not it is willing to sacrifice the mind and the body just to get its own way. And then it has to glom onto another body/mind for the next physical go round. You’d think the Spirit would learn after ten thousand bodies or so…..I rest my case.

Let’s just say that I value my body as much as my spirit. Maybe when I don’t have one I’ll value it even more, or maybe less. That time will come soon enough on its own. I don’t need my spirit to hasten the process by letting in run wild and roughshod over my body and mind, trying to make up for all the karma it wears like a sackcloth. How long are we expected to make up for our karma by suffering and creating more?

Enough said.

Now I come to the people like my logical friend Scott, the kind who give the mind more importance than the body or the spirit—the ‘scientific, classical philosophers amongst us. I’ve been there, too, so I’m not throwing stones at the philosophers. (Pardon the pun.)

I can remember when I held my head up, balanced high on the pretense of pure logic. I’ve lived by suppressing, repressing and denying that my emotions played any role in my so-called logical decisions. Suppressed, forgotten emotions make for some nasty but exciting outcomes. If you like excitement for its own sake then be my guest. You can even forget your bad experiences until your good ones get forgotten too. Alzheimer’s can’t be that bad if you’re the one who has it. (Pause to smell the sarcasm.)

Thankfully, I’ve found a system that can take care of the repressed, suppressed, shut down, denied and forgotten experiences, plus all the emotions they generate. It works like nothing else—the Yuen Mastery System. The only thing you really need is the correct information and that’s where the system excels.

The mind is not a clean component without this system, folks.

The fact is, without this system, the mind is a saboteur extraordinaire, quite capable of sabotaging itself 100% of the time. The mind needs very much to be protected from itself, or it can’t get to its own infinite potential. (Sigh)

We shouldn’t be surprised to learn that the mind can sabotage everything else too—-everything else being the body and the spirit.

So we correct for that. After a few informative corrections are in place it’s a snap. Corrections are made on the midline (that line down the middle of the front of our bodies). By putting some energy or attention there, until the corrections just happen naturally, we can change most anything that was unwisely considered to be unchangeable about human beings.

In other words, in two seconds or less, we can do away with mental sabotage or at least bring it down to a minimum just by knowing what we want to do and putting some attention on our midline to strengthen or correct the weaknesses.

Once the mind is corrected not to sabotage itself, we look at the body: Since the body expects the mind to sabotage it, we correct for that weakness too—once again on the midline. We correct the body to be strong all the way from the quantum particles up to the structure and back again.

Oh the joy of the midline!

Struggle/not struggle.Cancer/not cancer. Shit/not shit!

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 05:06:39 +0000

An astounding thing happened!

The super-duper Cancer Surgeon, who treated my friend by removing all her female organs, reversed his diagnosis.

Choke choke choke.

He had to eat all his words and they were some pretty gnarly ones at that.

“You have aggressive, stage 4, mutant cancer.” he said. “We are sending your mutant cancer cells to the best labs for identification. You need the strongest chemotherapy right away. But even with the chemo, you have an 18% chance of living 5 more years.”

Two weeks later, Super Surgeon had to amend his diagnosis, “No one knows what you had,” he said. “We sent your lab work to five cancer identifying expert pathologists and all the lab reports say it’s not cancer. I don’t understand the data they sent back. I’ve never seen these results.

Of course Super Surgeon recommended that she see some other ’specialists’ so a label could be manufactured and a drug treatment plan could be mapped out. You know how the Pharmaceutical companies hate it when they can’t get into the act. Nothing surprising there.

What’s interesting to me is how absolutely sure the surgeon was. ‘You’re insides were eaten up with cancer,” he pronounced after the surgery. “If I hadn’t operated on you today, tomorrow you would have been dead.”

“If she was that close to death,” a family member blurted out, “Why did you make her wait 5 days for the surgery?”

No answer.

As soon as my friend was diagnosed as needing surgery, my stomach fell, but I began testing for weaknesses, then clearing and deleting them a la Yuen Mastery style. When she went into the emergency room with fever and internal bleeding, I brought Grandmaster Yuen into the picture, and he instantly found at least three very significant weaknesses: 8000 freaking years of depression he deleted, along with some other specific spiritual experiences that made her more apt to find a lousy surgeon to kill her.

I worked on the lab diagnosis and any spiritual experience she might have had with any and all the lab technicians. I also deleted the negative cumulative effect of all her struggles in every spiritual experience.

Something I always do when a ’so-called’ disease is called into play, is check for the ‘misinformation’ weakness. It is often the misinformation itself that weakens us the most. On a very basic intuitive level, we know we’ve been fed all the wrong info.

For example, people always assume that the disease or condition causes the pain when it is actually the other way around: Pain causes the physical symptoms. Doctors then happily identify the symptoms as a disease, and the misinformation snowballs rolling down hill and picking up speed. People begin to fight their disease.

Here’s something you might want to know: If you struggle with your disease, your disease wins. If you buy into your diagnosis, you buy into all the weakening experiences attached to that diagnosis, along with all the fear.

As Dr. Yuen often says, to a carpenter, everything looks like a nail… to an oncologist, every thing looks like a cancer cell.

Here’s what I say: To a housefly, everything looks like shit.

So I made my friend strong to any and all diagnoses, prognoses and the shitty conventional approaches to treatment. And guess what!

Surprise! Surprise… Even a super surgeon sometimes has to eat crow, and even super lab techs can’t find any cancer cells after Yuen corrections are applied.

So let’s hear it for the Grandmaster and his Yuen Mastery System!

Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray!!!!!

The Wastebasket Diagnosis

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 05:12:59 +0000

Fibromyalgia!

Fibromyalgia is a relatively newish term, eventually settled on by Western medical types as a label for some nasty symptoms that do not seem to be driven by any biochemical cause—-meaning they who look can not find clumps of little ‘abnormal’ bugs under a microscope to blame it on.

This dis-ease mostly hounds women but was not taken very seriously until the mid to late Seventies.

The word itself is a three-pronged hodgepodge: Fibro – meaning fibrous tissue, my – meaning muscle, and algia – meaning pain.

Symptoms are too numerous to mention. There’s everything from difficulty taking it in (as in swallowing) to difficulty letting it go (as in bowel and bladder abnormalities).

Basically, if you have been saddled with a ‘fibromyalgia’ diagnosis, you hurt all over all the time—-but especially in the morning. You are beset with constant fatigue and you may have difficulty thinking clearly. There are reports that some become ‘hysterical’ at times. I certainly can’t imagine why anyone in constant pain would get hysterical. (Sarcasm, if you can’t smell it.)

There’s not much hope for fibromyalgia sufferers in the medical department. Knowledge is severely hampered by conventional thinking/nonthinking. Doctors, themselves, admit they understand so little about the reasons for chronic pain in general, but this doesn’t mean they aren’t willing to provide sufferers with access to various colors of capsules, caplets and pills—-all complements of pharmaceutical industry research. Anytime pain is involved, the drug companies are right there for us and pleased to be of assistance. (Smell it?)

Some physicians still label the manifestation of all-over muscle pain as a psychosomatic or psychiatric disorder, so don’t look for any help there, unless you want to further complicate your existence with antipsychotics and antidepressants.

Let’s not forget that it wasn’t very long ago that some experts prescribed ‘hysterectomies’ as a treatment for hysterical women with ‘imaginary’ pain or emotional issues. I don’t think they advocated anything similar for men in the same condition. Readers can correct me, though, if I’m wrong.

One of the pet medical theories these days, is the combo cause or the auto-immune deficiency category: Any combination of stress, anxiety, emotional/mental/physical traumas, coupled with poor sleep habits and general physical weakness, can supposedly trigger more pain in those thought to have an inherent sensitivity to pain. Very few among us don’t have an inherent sensitivity to pain, I would imagine. Why else would there be a word for ‘pain’ in every language?

The most recent 21st Century diagnosis, however, calls this syndrome, with its myriad of painful symptoms, a malfunctioning Central Nervous System (CNS).

At least some medical researchers have jumped the biochemical track, though they have no real means of dealing with a malfunctioning CNS that doesn’t cause side effects to the CNS. Ironic, isn’t it?

Go for a nice leisurely 5 mile run, some experts will advise. Enjoy the fleeting yet potent after-effects of endorphins. These strong brain chemicals will take your mind off the pain for awhile, and you can always exercise again to restock your brain receptors.

Hey, I know! Take some steroids and beef up your exercise potential. You have only to ask and Doctors will prescribe prednisone. Never mind what steroids do to your Central Nervous System.

At least exercise activates the lymphatic function, which in turn lowers the effects of pathogens and dead skin cells, but exercise can also overtire you and present more challenges to the basic body systems, not to mention your kidney chi.

Another thing you can try for solace is a‘support group’, mainly for those who are also suffering—-a veritable pain club. It’s an opportunity for people to learn and talk about their pain, hear about other people’s pain, and pool their hope for a cure. Sounds pretty dismal and I don’t think misery really loves miserable company.

How can any real relief be found for such a misunderstood pain? How can ‘cures’ be found for the Central Nervous System when the only cures that researchers even look for are biochemical in nature?

After all, changing the body’s chemistry is a pretty simplistic way to deal with a malfunctioning CNS, but that’s the theme these days. No matter what type of physical, mental or spiritual pain, blame it on the chemical makeup of the body and you’re approach is unquestionably sacred.

Fortunately, there are alternatives—–just not any alternatives that are commonly accepted or commonly known.

So the question you have to ask yourself is this… can an intuitive non-conventional approach to dealing with chronic pain work? Well, the conventional approach doesn’t.

That you already know.

Energy Flows Where Attention Goes….

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 19:01:24 +0000

Physical pain generally has its roots in stagnation. Let’s just define stagnation as non-flow or toxic back up, much like the environmentally challenged pond on the left.

When the body’s normal fluid-flow slows down or stops, toxic sludge begins to pool, often resulting in blockage and overworked body systems. This blockage can lead to congestion, inflammation, infection and infestation. Pain most always follows.

To make matters worse, the circulatory, energetic, and lymph systems of the body just can’t meet the increased demands to carry away and dispose of all the waste. The lymph system in particular gets challenged.

Some people think that the consumption of the correct nutrients or antibiotics is the most important step at this point.

Surprise! Surprise! Food nutrients and meds are not as important as water and the three basic elements: oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen. You can live without food for quite some time, believe it or not.

What are the consequences, on the other hand, if you don’t have enough oxygen and water? Cells begin to degenerate and die—that’s what. These dead cells cause blockages, and the blockages present the perfect medium for infections and infestations, which in turn cause pain.

This does not mean you need to drink mass quantities of water on an hourly basis. Your body can extract water from anything you eat or drink that contains it.

Only the water bottling companies profit from over consumption of water, certainly not your overworked kidneys. Overworked kidneys challenge the energy systems in general, and low energy is never conducive to optimal body function. ( Oh my god, I said ‘never’.)

When it comes down to it, though, it is infections and/or infestations that cause physical pain. Remove these and there will be no painful sensations.

How do you remove these? There are various roads to take. A good place to start is to strengthen the Lymph. When the Lymphatic System is working as it should, there are no infections or infestations.

The Lymph System consists of 5 parts: nodes, fluid, channels, ducts and center. The lymph center processes infections and infestations through the liver and kidneys. From there, they go to large intestine and urinary/bladder to be flushed out of the body. Once that happens, any pain will be markedly reduced, or it will even subside altogether.

To minimize and eliminate pain, you should also remove the infections and infestations from the pain sites. Detoxify the sites from all accumulations of dead cells and cellular wastes. Insure this will happen by strengthening the lymphatic system to and from the site.

Ensuring that the energetic system is maintaining all the body processes in working order will reduce the occurrence of pain. When energy is low, there is no cushion of energy between body structures. Even the body cavities are under attack.

After the energetic system is strengthened, you can pinpoint the non physical cause of the pain, a la Yuen Mastery System style. Using your human intuition, separate from logic, and unfazed by positive and/or negative emotions, you can pinpoint the exact cause. The separation process is a simple two second correction that requires a bit of new information is all.

You can learn to make your intuition function separately from your logical mind and independently from your emotions by consulting a Yuen practitioner, or by joining Dr. Kam Yuen’s monthly teleseminar club. The main reason Dr. Yuen started his club was to get the information out to as many people as possible. if I didn’t think this was a good idea, I wouldn’t tell you about it.

In any case, after pinpointing the exact cause, you strengthen yourself to this cause by thinking of your spinal cord, brain and mind.

How? Just put your attention there. Energy flows where attention goes.

When White Males Attack!

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 20:29:46 +0000

"O Ward, I've known all along that 'beaver' is slang for vagina."

What is wrong with White Males as a species? I’m not talking about their well known inability to read directions or ask for them. I can even forgive them for not being able to dance.

I’m talking about their propensities to kill methodically in bunches or in strings, as in ‘serial killers‘ and ‘going postal‘.

It’s pretty common knowledge that white males are the red-handed culprits whenever there’s a string of serial murders, or when a shoot-em up type massacre takes place at a school or work place.

But did you know White Males are statistically more likely to be fire bugs, as in burn down buildings for fun, too?

And the sad thing is, folks, White Males still rule the world!

Oh, I know, every once in a while, an Oriental or Arab dude tries to give the White Males a run for their money. But the last Oriental who made in-roads into the predominately white world of ultimate conquerors was Genghis Khan, and the last impactful Yellow-skinned fellow was Bruce Lee.

"Move over, all you Crackers! I am your Genghis! "

Let’s face it, ever since Mr. Khan, (emperor) of the Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous empire in history, white men have pretty much cornered the market on human privileges, such as education, wealth and basic humans freedom, not to mention all the women that go with.

Critical race theory experts even have a term for it….drum roll…..…………………… white privilege:

Just so you know it’s exactly like it sounds, “White privilege is a set of perceived/non perceived advantages enjoyed and exploited by white people beyond those commonly experienced by non-white people in the same social, political, and economic spaces.”

Whites, for example, have historically had more opportunities to accumulate wealth. Many of the institutions of wealth created amongst American citizens were open exclusively to whites. Whites, in fact, still own the greatest percentage of the wealth in the U.S.

So why do privileged white males become twisted sociopathic killing machines?

Perhaps because the ‘Failures’ amongst them can’t blame society as readily as their darker skinned counterparts. Perhaps because white males are culturally more limited in dealing with their emotions. Perhaps because they are expected to outperform all other races in all areas except music, martial arts, comedy and sports. Perhaps because white women no longer view them as preferable to any other race of men.

Bingo, BINGO! My friends! I think we’ve stumbled upon the main reason— the need to impregnate the most women—-that never ending drive that makes pharmaceutical companies develop potency drugs until men are blue in their faces. I’m talking literally, as in dead-blue deprived of oxygen.

He who impregnates the most women wins! Isn’t that how it goes? What gives a man the opportunity to impregnate the most women besides the ability to get it up long after health has deteriorated? Wealth, power, strength and wisdom–or the pretense thereof!

White males were pretty much in reverence of themselves until the women no longer found them any more revereable than the other colors of humanity.

Ozzie knew Harriett wasn’t going to run off with a big black Leroy—there weren’t any. Ward Cleaver never had any worries about his wife June encountering a black man except in the guise of a shoe-shine boy on a downtown street in St. Louis, and he wasn’t about to take a ’shine’ to a white woman or whip out his polished ‘willie’.

No white man had to be worried about a black man taking his woman, except by force in the night. Young manly Oriental Men weren’t in the picture–and only bongo playin’ Ricky Ricardo was allowed to have a white woman. Arab men had Omar Sharif to make them look good, but no sitcoms featured a fiercesome butt-humping Arabian stallion married to his burkah clad helpmate.

TV perpetuated the white male myth forever and ever. Historically, black actors were assigned to comedy and buffoonery. When white TV execs produced black shows, they created black sitcoms that fostered the ludicrousness of blacks as executives, husbands or fathers. White writers once made Black males into a childlike and irresponsible sub-species—- pretty much incapable of managing its own finances and relationships, much less managing the complexities of anything like family life.

Roids make me look cute, I mean cut.

For the Oriental male, on the other hand, we had the ancient, inscrutable yet obese Charlie Chan, until Bruce Lee came along, that is. Lee was so cute, capable, brave and persecuted. Right away, he got himself a beautiful white, blonde wife! Now that’s almost as good as having the largest contiguous empire in History. Just ask Tiger Woods now that both his empire and his wife are gone.

Speaking of lost empires, back to Ghengis: Just how big were Khan’s holdings? They stretched from the Danube to the Sea of Japan(or East Sea) and from the Arctic to Camboja, covering over 33,000,000 km² (12,741,000 sq mi),^[1] 22% of the Earth’s total land area, and held sway over a population of over 100 million people.

One Hundred Million People! (And that was when people were more at a premium per square inch!)

Wiggle Dance Your Way!

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 20:31:16 +0000

When you can score under 15 on Flash Fabrica, my budding guru friends, I might listen to what you have to say. Follow this link and prepare yourself for mind fun: http://flashfabrica.com/f_learning/brain/brain.html

I just got back from Memphis, my old home town and residing place of my 3 sisters, 1 brother, 2 parents, 15 cousins etc. It was a good trip down to Beale Street and the Forum where I was privileged to watch the Memphis Tigers (as in BBall Tigers) beat an underestimated Arkansas team.

Tigers were supposed to win hands down, and everyone would have been mortified if they hadn’t. For about 20 minutes, I thought we were going to be severely mortified. Tigers got off to a slower than slow start, only shooting 22% from the field.

Then Chris, my brother and I went to Ground Zero and listened to the house band. House bands rock in Memphis!

My sister Sallie and her friend, Ed, ballroomed danced their way all over the big-ass wooden floor to the Blues, no less.

Sallie is a great dancer! Her partner, Ed, is pretty good too—but he hates ‘wiggle dancers’ with a passion and it shows. ‘Wiggle dancers’ are the kind that don’t do any prescribed steps—one move per beat is all that Ballrooom Ed will allow.

I guess you know where that puts me and thee—–In the Wiggle Dancer Category and proud of it!

Consider this to be a personal message from the Guru—-Wiggle dance your way through life, folks! You’ll go further and faster and have more fun.

Answers and dance steps are just not accessible in the prescribed locations at one move per beat.

Unevolved Ignoramuses Unite!

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:15:15 +0000

Welcome to my website, you unevolved ignoramuses!

How does it feel to know that I’m a Guru and you’re not? Today, I’m going to tell you this simple truth:

Real Gurus need no followers.

Got it? Good. Let’s move on. Right off the bat, my unevolved ignoramus friends, there are at least a dozen things you won’t ever need to do if you hang out with me:

Love your pain

Tap on miscellaneous body parts

Pluck invisible shit out of the air

Relive the agony of your birth,

Pant like a dog

Think about nothing

Repeat meaningles syllables

Make yourself a pretzel

Stuff white cloths in any of your orifices

Twirl in a circle to Jerry Garcia’s Music

Give spiders a second chance

Pretend everything is all good

You couldn’t stand it if it were all good.

But If any of the above sounds good to you, get the hell off my website. I gave you enough links.

It doesn’t matter how you feel about me or yourself. Any puny little emotion you can muster up at this point is powerless to do much of anything. So go ahead… love or hate everyone and yourself to death and while you’re at it, throw in a god or two for good measure—it’s all the same right now.

I’ve got a higher self but I’m holding back. In other words, don’t expect me to channel my higher self for you unevolved ignoramuses until enough of you are on the same page. We need to reach critical mass first and I’ll be the judge of when that happens.

Also, just keep your own higher self to yourself, too I only want to hear from your lower self and maybe a few in between selves. Got it? Good.

As far as higher beings go—there aren’t any beings higher than you, so remember that.

Believing in the Incredible Hulk as the good guy is as good as believing in the one god theory–nobody ever invaded anybody else’s homeland with the Incredible Hulk on their banners and I’ll lay odds they never will.

Supreme beings are for the poor schmucks who need to believe somebody besides their mama cares about them. And as long as we’re on the subject-I don’t care if your mama loved you or not and neither should you. Go swallow some cloth!

Trusting in any hanging dudes on a cross, supreme manly beings who hurl shitbolts and/or goddesses that will love you to death keeps you stupid the rest of your life and on in to the next few rounds.

That’s probably enough to swallow for now. We need to get one thing straight right from the start. Don’t ever expect enlightenment, you unevolved ignoramuses.

Enlightenment is already your right as human beings.

Got it? Good!

Taiwan Temples

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 01:41:23 +0000

I want to fly above the rooftops of Taipei with my good friend Meei Meei —high on the chi of the universe. Romantic sounding to be sure, but we might get to do some rooftop flying before this year is out.

Grandmaster Yuen is going to Taipei, Taiwan in the middle of November for Module 1, Nov 14th-15th and Module 2, Nov 21st-22nd, and if anyone can lead the way over the rooftops…

Among the many attractions of Taipei in addition to rooftops is the National Palace Museum, or the fourth ranked museum of the world. OK, so I guess fourth is pretty good, but…

Taipei is also known for its legendary night shopping which sounds even better. Who wants to sleep when there’s some serious shopping afoot!

It reminds me of the olden days when I lived in San Francisco. Night shopping in SF China Town was magical and is much missed. Chris would be purchasing strange herbs from bearded inscrutable Asians, and I would be trying on the colorful, silk Chinese jackets.

First on the Taipei list is temple sight seeing, though. I’ve heard that most everything pales when it comes to the many, glorious and grand temples of Taiwan.

I have a bit of enticing info about three Taipei temples: One temple for wish making, one for calamity prediction and guess which one just is what it is… The Taoist temple, of course.

Lung Shan Temple (211 Kuangchou Street) “Make a Wish Temple”

Lung Shan Temple or Dragon Mountain Temple can be found in the Wanhua district, right in the heart of Taipei’s old town.

Here’s my advice: Everyone who visits the Lung Shan Temple should probably make a wish. Legend has it that the temple was built because a goddess was granting wishes on that very spot back in the 18th century. Once upon a time, you see, a man left a Kuan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) amulet hanging from a tree, and when night fell, the amulet began giving off a brilliant light.

The people in the neighborhood soon found that the charm had the power to grant wishes. After enough wishes came true, they respectfully decided to build a temple to the goddess of mercy, herself.

You have a better than average chance of finding your favorite god or goddess there, as more than 100 deities are housed within. The temple is now known as ‘the meeting place of the gods’. I wouldn’t mind meeting a few.

Zu Shi Temple (81 Kangting Rd) “The Nose Knows.”
Another temple we should probably visit is the Divine Progenitors Temple. The first thing I would want to do is check and make sure the nose of Panglai is residing on his face.

Legend has it that every time a disaster was about to happen the nose would take a ‘nosedive’ onto the floor. After the calamity or threat of calamity was over, the diving nose would spring back up to it rightful position. Talk about ‘the Nose Knows”.

This temple was constructed in 1787 and it houses the seven images of Divine Progenitors, Panglai reputably being the one with the most power. We shan’t, therefore, name the 6 lesser deities. Hopefully, they will not take too much offense but if they do… who cares!

Bao-An Temple (61 Hami Street) “It is what it is.”

Bao-An is located in the middle of the Da-Dung District, or the spiritual center of Taipei. Affectionately known as the Temple of Da Dao Kung, which literally means the temple of the Great Taoist Master, construction was begun in 1805.

This fine temple required a full quarter-century to complete because all the different wood and stone materials had to be brought over from mainland China. Even the artisans were imports.

One of the biggest draws of the Bao-An Temple is enshrined in the middle of the bell tower—-the Goddess of Birth, Zhu Sheng Niang-Niang. Flanking her, are 12 female aids, each charged with the task of with assisting child birthing during a particular month. Here is a good tip I found on the internet about getting the gender you want out of your pregnancy. I lifted it straight from a website dedicated to the Birthing Goddess herself. And I quote:

For those who didn’t have a chance to get any baby (after long period of trying), they could also visit Zhu Sheng Niang Niang Temples to request for babies. The couple just needed to prepare the following items:

For Baby Boy, prepared White Flowers (of any type), white flowers represent positive or Yang, after offering this to Zhu Sheng Niang Niang, she will get the message and bless accordingly.

For Baby Girl, prepared Red Flowers (of any type), red flowers represent negative or Yin, after offering this to Zhu Sheng Niang Niang, she will get the message and blessed accordingly.

In the old agricultural society it was considered lucky to have many children and grandchildren, so women from far and wide would come to worship the goddess. They most often petitioned for sons and still do, as a matter of fact, especially on Zhu Sheng’s birthday. When is her birthday you might ask. The 20th day of Lunar 3 month is the answer.

This temple features the usual dragon pillars at the entry way, and also a pair of stone lions that are not so usual. Normally, the male has an open mouth and the female a closed mouth. (There’s a big cultural difference!) But both of these lions have open mouths!

Bao-Sheng Da Di, the god of medicine, is the the temple’s main man/god. Reportedly, he was given human form by a skilled medical practitioner in China’s Fujian Prvince, back in 979.

As you can see in the picture of the colorful and perfectly carved roof, the temple is in excellent condition. Not so, always, though.

A seven year restoration project of major proportion was launched in 1995, because of the termite infestation. At the completion of the project, there was a three-day sacrifice or ‘chien chiao’, to celebrate and thank all the gods.

As you can imagine, there was a lot of god thanking and celebrating going on. People like to think their fortune and prosperity rises and falls with the temple’s ups and downs.

Included in the festivities, was the ancient custom of fire walking—”stepping on burning coals with bare feet by the young wizards who hold aloft the deity’s sedan chair”.

Fire walking is one of the Taoist practices left over from the olden days–you know, young men proving their magnanimous strength of mind, body spirit by showing off.

Thanks to Dr. Yuen, we’ve moved on…
