The Golden and Infinite Truth about Tai Chi Chuan

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

The symbol we call the Yin Yang is two fishes swimming is night and day is good and evil is...silly. The Yin Yang symbol has nothing to do with those beautiful but pint-sized observations possible to our short lived species. The Ying Yang symbol is actually an empirical observation and quite mechanistic approach to life in this universe.

Everything in the universe is a motor. A motor is defined as tension between two objects. Doesn't matter whether the tension is push or pull, just that the tension is, and that is what holds our universe together and...keeps 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 through the legs, across the generator, which is called the Tan Tien, and down the legs. Back and forth, alternating current, causing the generator to bubble its unique energy, called chi. Imagine the generator as a little cup of tea, being gently mixed, not to slosh over the sides, but to be mixed in yin yang motorific fashion, just enough to froth up a bit of steamy chi.

As you practice Tai Chi Chuna you become aware of the space that is your body, and the movement of awareness hollows the body to receive chi. Eventually the golden elixir that is called Chi fills the body and becomes responsive to the wishes of the student/philosopher. Mental clarity, endurance, strength, good health, all are the product of a body made to function as it was supposed to function.

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 with this article, I only search for friends, and give away my knowledge. Can you have it? Can you have yourself, the eternal you that all love and none see?
