Teaching Moments

Fermentation and Relaxation

by

Your mind-body energy is like water. Your mind is like the wind on top of the water. And then, if the wind is moving, it causes ripples on the surface of the water. With the ripple on the water surface, it then distorts the reflection.

So everybody is painting their own stories in life because of this internal agitation, mental agitation, involuntary identification. But once you can find a way to calm down your mind, stop the wind, there are no more ripples. So, what does that leave you with? True reflection. And more: what is being reflected on top of the water and what you can see from beneath the water, there is no intrinsic difference because there is no more distortion. They are one.

Not only they are one. You are also part of the oneness because they are there because of you.

Why is that? Every night, when you go to sleep, once you fall deep into your sleep, where is the world to you? The world does not exist. You do not exist. You are dormant somewhere inside of your body. Your senses stop functioning.

Your body needs to rest to rehabilitate itself from one day’s movement. So, in the morning, when you wake up, the moment you wake up, there is the world. So that is why without you there is no world. You have the source in the center of your world.

That is why I personally like the Chinese definition of the world. Do not take it as an English definition. In English definition, the word is just the word. No there is more to it. The Chinese sign for the world is composed of two words. It says (1) your existence in this life from birth to death (2) within a boundary.

This is something I want to remind you of. Do not just read on the surface. You have to read beyond the lines.

Trinity – The Animation Mechanism

by

Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching – Chapter 42

His perception. He said, before the coming of life there is just emptiness. It is a void. It is emptiness. It is on the surface. It is a big void. You cannot describe it. But in this big void and there is energy in emanation.

For any energy to be in function you need to have two polarities like Yin and Yang. So he called this energy Tai Chi, the primal energy. So this primal energy is functioning like a light in the void. But whatsoever object that has a psychosomatic potential to be animated into life, once this primal energy touches that object, this primal energy gets infused in, so the animation process begins.

The combination of this primal energy, together with the animation mechanism, is called Essence. It is called essence. You are animated. You are on. You have a light.

And then, subject to the construct of that specific psychosomatic apparatus, it begins because of the genes or the genomes and the design in the genome. They evolve.

Once the animation begins then, with the veiling of the sentience, everything you can see, you can feel, you can sense, they are temporal by nature. It is like the relationship between the mirror and the reflection. It is because of this animation process you are being animated, alive, and whatsoever you can feel and sense is nothing but your own reflection.

The state of Essence, that is the primordial state, the inclusion of this primal energy to the body, the Essence, that is called ONE. In that state, there is no sense of ego. There is no ego. It is just an animation being alive.

But once the animation, once your body sentience begins to evolve and dominate; I feel, I sense, I am. That is the ego. So this one has two dimensions. This ego I. Beneath the water, prior to your sentience, primal energy in animation, the temporal energy or this energy body we call it the astral body. In accord with the hermetic terms. Anything above your sentience is the stage of the mind, the ego-mind.

And the nature of the ego-mind is duality, discrimination. I feel. I sense. I am. So ONE plus TWO equals THREE. With the coming of the THREE, there is a world. This is Lao Tzu’s statement. From ZERO there is ONE. From the coming of ONE spontaneously there is TWO. With the coming of the TWO, TWO plus ONE equals to THREE: trinity.

He said, if you follow the sequence of this evolution, this is exactly what makes you human. However, if you can find a way to reverse engineer yourself, this is the way to your holiness. This is why Prana Dynamics, this is why all the spiritual teachings before they have been documentized into a religion. It is not so difficult as you think it is but I think that if you think about it you are still in the mind. It is exactly the mind that blocks you from it. So you have to learn to take off your mind. You have to learn to release your mind. You have to learn to find a way to disidentify yourself from the mind. It is without fighting against it because the mind can be the worst possible enemy you can possibly have. So release it. Release your identity from it.

But it is easier said than done. If this is the common denominator that blocks people from true understanding, from true seeing, then you have to pay attention to your mind. This is where the difficulty is with the advent of contemporary medical science. You can go to the hospital and ask the doctor to cut off your body. Doctor, please show me my mind. It is impossible. Medical science, at best they can show you the shape and size of your naked heart. They can even show you the picture of your genes. They cannot show you your mind. What is your mind?

Every moment you are using it. Or no, you are being used by it. Every moment. But it is bizarre. People have never been trained or guided to learn to recognize it. You have to learn to recognize your mind. That is the first step. This is the common first step across all spiritual teachings and religions.

Even the Chinese word my mind, if you put them into one word, it says enlightenment. The moment you can see it: enlightenment. But this is where the joke begins. A lot of people are spiritual or they are into religion for this purpose: I want to be enlightened.

Basically in this enlightenment is just the first step. But being able to see and sense your mind you can separate yourself, you can then walk out of the shadow and then you become the seer. You are becoming the observer. You will be an intuitive understanding, a perception like a touch or an epiphany or kisses by the angels. You do not have to say it because then words will begin to become redundant. But it is the beginning of the true journey.

Like Jiddu Krishnamurti already said: “Truth is a pathless land.” The first step, the most important step… He literally spent his lifelong journey trying to convince and explain to people, if you are spiritual, the first step you have to achieve is to separate the observer from the observed. This is the beginning of true spirituality. What does that mean? Walk out of the shadow of your mind.

If you can see in the sentience, once the animation process begins, your essence, energy and spirit in oneness. The essence, energy spirit: this is the trinity of Kung Fu. So energetically, after the infusion of this primal energy in the body, everything is temporal. There is a substratum of our energetics. You are this primal energy in animation. Once this is in animation it is called astral energy.

For any energy to function you have to have two polarities in it. So there is body energy. The passive one, that animates the mechanism of the sentience. And then there is active energy. It then becomes the functionality of your mind. It supports and sustains the functionality of the ego-mind. And to this mental energy; the ancient Chinese people had a specific term for this because actually, when it comes to energy, the pronunciation of energy in Chinese is called Chi. But traditionally this word is referring to body energy because the composition of this energy is very simple; it says rice energy. food energy. Your body energy.

For your mind, there is another character which is also pronounced Chi but it is composed of two parts. It says no flame. It is referring to the mental image.

Nirvana means no more fermentations, energetically. What is being fermented is your mind, your mental energy on flame. So you have to put out the flame so that you can sense the energy. And this energy is just one of the polarities of this astral energy in animation in you.

The mind has flame / no flame. When I am talking about mental energy it is the mental energy without flame, without the ego, without identification and we try to confluence this mind-body energy together in the body, and then we can get closer and trace it back to the source. Where is the source? At best you can trace it back to the astral energy or this energy for conscious presence. The light of the animated.
At best!

So leveraging your body sentience together with modulating of your mental focus. It is possible!

Validation-Self Exploration, Key from Understanding to Seeing

by

This dimension opens up. I felt very deep into it and on the way there I can feel that… At first, I called it philo dynamic because once I enter this dimension, all the questions I had to the art, I can see the answers next to the question from inside of myself.

Once I see the answer; no more questions. No more questions, one more bubbles up, one more bubbles up. It is like a philosophy dynamics in me. That is the first stage and later, the fewer and fewer the questions, the more I see. The more I see the culture of universality from the inside of myself because I reintegrated the connection of the mind-body energy to the astro energy and I settle in.

That is why I can explain to you things that you cannot find from any of the classics or any other books. But if you really listen to me from your heart and if you really practice and explore and validate my words in you, you will sense it yourself. You sense it yourself. And this is the process of what they call self-awakening.

It is self-awakening because Rome is not built in a day. It is not like this, with a click, with a touch of epiphany you are awake. No, no, no, that is the first step.

One layer is one layer of ignorance itself. Another layer that ignores itself. Like the peeling of the onion skin. And the more you can let go, open up and let it go. By letting go you open up from inside out until there is no more skin for you to let go of. Okay, you are there.

This is exactly the same for the what one of the bad range of what you call the nathi nithia path, Not this, not that. Not this, not that.

But it is not for your mind to say Not this, not that. That is ego. That is using your mind to rationalize it and to intellectualize it. You are still bound by the mind. You are still in the mind. So that is why you can get nowhere. Because in that mentality, whenever there is something wrong, it is always other people’s fault but mine.

So this is a mistake you know. That is why I keep on reminding you guys that on the path of this art, for martial arts or for spiritual orientation, whenever and wherever there something wrong, there is always something wrong in you.

You have to learn to diagnose yourself. Once you can diagnose yourself, this is wrong, this is tension, I am holding the tension, here I am trying and wanting too much… This is exactly what blocks me. Let go of it. Let go of the striving. Let go of the wanting. let go of the effort. Let go of your mind. You are there.

So, do not take it literally or do not take it conceptually. Of course, we have to… For you to embark on this journey… This is why the Q&A is important because I am trying my best to paint for you, at least conceptually, the map the road map. But once you have the conceptual understanding in place then the next challenge is that you have to prepare your ears and really embark on the journey. Practice, validate, sense that for yourself. This is
the nature of the art.

Once you embark on the journey you are making self-discoveries each step along the way. That is why I said, the nature of practice is not for you to repeat the same pattern time and time again but every time you practice you make some new discoveries, you make some new sensations. Every time you practice you can get kissed by the angel or the touch of a piece of me: ah, this is what it means. Aha, this is how it feels.

This is the best way for you to go in the right direction. This is the essence of self-validation. So, that is why you do not take any of my words too seriously. Listen to me, remember and go back and practice and validate. Digest it in you.

That is why I say, when you truly understand what I am trying to convey or impart to you, you will not say you understand. Do not say: “Yes sir, I understand.” No, that is from the mind.

You say “I see because I feel, I sense it.”
You say “I see” from your heart not from your mind.
YES!

Bypass Contact Point

by

Today it keeps on coming back here, analyzing what you’re doing and this is a blocking factor.

Once your antenna is in place, release your mind. By bypassing you attend your focus. You learn to guide your focus outside of the contact. Relax, go away, and by surrendering, by being lighter you do not need to use muscles.

This also has to do with your previous training because you are so very used to do those muscle tensions. So this is what is blocking you. So we try to release. This is where you are having problems too, to make it work. So you are fighting against your own tension by putting your mind here. But release. Relax attention. Surrender. Lighter. Confluent your mental focus to the contact. Go away. Just a twist. Twist the internal pipeline and you will feel that, you will sense the tension from the surface of your skin. Use that skin to divert his energy flow and go away from the contact. His energy will follow.

We as humans, we all have this animal reflex. So wherever people touch you, automatically your people’s mind comes to the contact. So to neutralize that, by twisting, bypassing, you twist and modulate the tension from the skin to divert their energy support to the focus on side of the contact. So, by diverting the tensions, the energy flows before they reach the focal point, and then their energy is following your command, is confluent with you.

This is the importance of line sensation. So this line is not the physical line. It is more of their energy line. So if you twist, then you can change direction. If I twist from the other angle, from the other side, then the direction changes. And then you just follow the direction.

So internally this is what we discussed earlier. There is an internal evolution in progress when you practice for the better. Toward more freedom, more harmony, more peacefulness.

So you have to let go of the intention, wanting to make it work, I want to make it work. You fall back to the stronghold of your mind and then it destroys everything.

This is the process of what I call self-diagnosis, self-validation. We learn to diagnose ourselves for mistakes and then change the pattern. Now, by changing the pattern you are liberating yourself. So, it is an art of self-liberation.

If you really get it it is like an internal.. I am trying to inform an internal revolution from inside of you. But for any revolution to be successful the first thing the revolution does is deconstruction. So you deconstruct those established habitual patterns either, physical or mental. Once you deconstruct them, once you practice and validate everything, the integration process begins.

This is the essence of the earth. You cannot by wanting or by trying, all those are symptoms of the activity of your mind. You fall back to your mind and then it blocks everything because this is something your mind cannot get to and your mind will be agitated and then, once it is getting agitated, the harder. Then you try to make it happen you cannot.

So, do not repeat the same mistake. Every time you progress every time you practice you are supposed to make some new discoveries. But once you are in posture, once it is happening, remember the sensation. By remembering the sensations, those energy flows, those emotional memories will be embedded in the energy body as well. So you begin to synchronize yourself in oneness. You are making progress in this perspective.

So, it is a subtle art. That is why the importance of forsaking the contentious mind, forsaking the contention in your mind so that your mind can release and surrender. The more you can surrender your mind, the easier for you to sense energy. This is a form of tension or stronghold of the mind. Force and energy are mutually exclusive.

So, you have to make up your mind and have the resolution. Once you begin to embark on this journey you make new discoveries, evolve yourself for the better. This is why the importance of practice. To practice is to validate, to sense it for yourself and once you sense it, remember the
sensation so you synchronize your mental energy and body energy together with this astro energy into oneness.

This is the direction to go. Do not frustrate yourself. Nothing wrong. There is nothing wrong to be frustrated about. Just calming down, relax more. Recognize your mind. Once you can recognize your mind. You are not the mind, right? Every time you practice you are walking the puppy. You walk the mind by modulation of focus and in time the mind will understand: ah, so we are not doing anything dangerous to me, there is no threat but it is for the better.

For your mind and your fascia, it takes time to understand. And once your mind is following your command, you are making progress.

From Fighting to No Fighting

by

The rule of thumb is that anything, any movement that you feel comfortable with is okay. But if you feel that there is an urge of striving, of effort, then it’s not okay.

You have to experience this, feel the difference, and make a difference in yourself. This is the purpose of practice.

To practice is not to repeat the same pattern time and time again. As I said if you don’t realize that it’s a wrong pattern and you repeat it ten thousand times, by the end of the day it is still the same mistake just bigger and heavier. That is not the purpose.

So anything that makes you feel comfortable is okay and later, once that conditioned energy’s got vent off, your body becomes lighter and you become more and more sensitive to this energy flow, you become more and more aware of the diversity.

“I have noticed that already like a young trend like with the other people practicing I try to apply what they teach here and I have noticed that I have become much lighter in this very short time already. Also, the moves become faster but more stable, like the alignment is much stronger than it was before. So that’s a very interesting observation.”

Did it happen in like six weeks? It’s a very short time I think for that change because when it comes to this everybody is different. Some sense it faster, some never sense it.

It has to do with the quality of your personality There’s nothing wrong with you wanting it, to get it, but by wanting too much you fall back to your mind and the mind will block you away from it. But if you are serious about it, give about it and really sense it on a step-by-step basis but, it is not so difficult. Once you sense it, as I said before, by itself it’s very simple.

It is the mind that complicates it, so if you can release your mind it will become easier and easier. But to release the mind is something against human nature. Both martially and spiritually this is the same common denominator. Language blocks people from true understanding.

So that is why we started with the rooting: heaven man earth in oneness. The key thing is that you have to find the balance of your body first so that you are making room for you to really release the hyperactivity of your mental energy. So, once you become aware of it and relax, relax.

You do not have to relax completely to feel the magic. You just relax a little bit; you will be able to sense the difference. And then a new dimension will emerge from within the mind-body.

The rest of the practice is to stabilize yourself, as a natural state. You harmonize, you surrender your mind to this heart, this conscious presence.

So they are mutually exclusive. If the mind is hyperactive it distorts the sensation. But if you release your mind then the light of this conscious presence will come up and then everything is as it is. And then internally you open up a new space, another dimension, and then that’s where I got freedom.

You are free to express yourself. You start to sense much more intuitively. You now separate yourself from the observed you and you become more and more aware that you are the observer. And the manifestation is observed. It is a reflection of your senses.

From this, you become the seer. You become the knower. This is the state of Janni, the enlightened one. They see the landscape from a different perspective.

So the key thing is that you have to be in the state instead of just accumulating. Accumulation of their knowledge, their teachings, his teaching, and his teaching, etc. You are still bound by the mind.

So this is what I call self-validation. You have to be in the state for you to see the landscape. If you are not in the state then it doesn’t really matter how good your teacher is with the words, it is still your imagination.

This is the beauty of the art. It is very simple and there is no rule and you are totally free. You are free to express yourself, either intellectually, or in motion.

So, the deeper you delve in, you are embarking on an internal journey. demystification of yourself. And once you stabilize in this state there will be no more questions because whenever there is a question popping up in your mind, you will be able to see the answer next to the question yourself.

This is intellectual, conceptual freedom because you are not participating involuntarily in the external reflections of the manifestation. You are aware that you are the light that makes that reflection possible because you can see it from within yourself.

So once you stabilize in the state there will be no more questions. You become very quiet. You become very silent and become aware, just full awareness.

This is actually what we are trying to be. You know, I am a very good fighter. I have so many skills etc. All fights are just an act of brutality. Once you can release and conquer your mind there is no room for brutality and the fighting becomes redundant and unnecessary.

So what is the purpose? What is the purpose for you to train yourself diligently in preparation for a very good fight? Really? Stupid! It is totally wrong knowledge.

So, that is why the word for Chinese martial art is composed of two parts: stop fighting; stop the spear. Stop fighting. For a reason.

It also took me more than thirty years to realize this. It is very difficult for people like me to let go of what I have accumulated mentally or physically and to let it go and revert the mental focus and settle back in. A new internal journey from the very beginning. But this is exactly why I can tap into this dimension so very deep because I let go of fighting. I literally took a vow to myself that from that moment onwards I do not fight people. So that is why, when you touch my hands, there is no resistance. I do not resist.
