A Conscious Fog - Indra's Net

the thing is this concept, which i know beleve to be true
its horrible to me
when i was younger so much younger than before...
i believed i would die and spend the rest of eternity with my loved ones......
i just want to know who i am and what im here for

I happen to believe that we are all here for a reason...this is not a random occurrence. It is too fantastic a story that we are even here...it is absolutely amazing when you think about it.

i really hope so

EXACTLY what I learned when I started studying Tai-CHi in the early 80's.

Toshio Seto was our "Grand Master". He lives in Japan and is absolutely the strongest man I could imagine. Even stronger now. His strength to some would seem like a "parlor trick" and to others, super-human. After you understand what he's doing, you know that it's natural to all of us.

On a visit Seto gave me what he considered the best English translation of the I Ching. It changed my life, and perfectly reflects OP's story.

Because Chinese is so hard to translate to Western languages, I bring to my library all the translations of the I Ching I can put my hands on. Would you be so kind as to tell us which translation you are referring to? Thank you.

I would also be interested in the translation your Master recommended.

Inciteful comedy and I get nothing, nothin' I say.

Everyone's a critic.

Yep me to... Please share :)

To find a good tikka massala and reincarnate in a framework you either helped to make or a prison you resigned yourself to live in.

The Dae of woo is evident or it ain't.

That it is, that it is...

Give a few and I'll find it. If I can't by the time the thread is gone feel free to use my email.

I believe it was from Al Huang. Published in the early 1980's. I've been "in flux" , moving, for a couple of years and it's buried. But I've seen it in bookstores so it's a fairly popular version.

The master in Japan is Toshio Seto of Tokushinkai. He's a karate master that started studying Tai Chi in China from a man called "the Little Elephant". Toshio also did a stint as the emperor of Japan's bodyguard for a little while. He was into numerology as well. Let me look some more...

I think that is him.

Definitely Al Huang. 8 1/2" x 11". The left side of the cover has graphics, the rest white with the title.

Just remember this is a theory not fact. There are so many theories out there you can't wade though them. Some have a grain of true, the one about fear, fear does create what you fear.

A blind man from birth walks out of his house, he has a cane with him to feel the path in front and each side of him. He walks along feeling the path in front and the sides of him, then he is knocked to the ground. He couldn't see the tree limb that his head ran into. His being blind, that taught him, not only did he have to use the cane to feel on the front of him and the sides of him but there are things that he can't feel that way, his sense of knowing wasn't as good as it needs to be. The next time he uses his cane he will wave it above, to see if something or someone is there.

I certainly hope so. To think that I wrote this thinking it was fact would be absurd in the extreme. It is more an exploration of thought on old writings and science/philosophy books like "The Self-Aware Universe".
