Do you familiar with

Ba gua as well?

Also Aka 8 trigrams

Not familiar. Only know how to read the sound sequence since very young. Occasionally when I discovered a Natural Geopathic Stress Line in Client’s house, I may use Compass to verify the stress propagation by Geo-Direction.

Taoism and 8 trigrams

Are they heavily related to each other?

Hokkien Tradition.

In Taoism by Lunar Calander:
0115 上元 天官賜福 Heavenly Officers Offering Prosperities
0715 中元 地官赦罪 Earthly Officers Amnesty Guilts
1015 下元 水官解厄 Water Officers Relieve Adversities

Similar timing to modern management of
Annual Plan (positive goals setting)
Mid Year Review (steering adjustment)
Catch-up plan

“The more the fruits of knowledge become accessible to men, the more widespread is the decline of religious belief.” Sigmund Freud

My opinion is that Aware of Religious Teachings and inclined towards FactBased Reality. Technology is moving so fast that kept expanding into newer horizons. Keep an open mind to experience our wonderful life that full of possibilities.

In Applied Psychology, Personal growth occurs through the constant utilisation of principles, not mere memorisation of knowledge. Replacing religious words, Body-Mind Congruent occurs through the constant utilization of Tao Philosophy Principles, not mere memorization of Dogmas.

I welcome all religions and faith organizations not only limited to Taoism, that improve humanity. My choice of Taoism is happened to be natural in my uplifting progress and No translated translation to understand the original write out.

From perspective of life or religious faith, I would like take the Cov19 opportunity to review our Body-Mind (& Soul if any) Congruent in reality.

Sweden 🇸🇪 adopted 無為 Non-Reacting approach, voluntary in Masks, Social Distances, Schools & Bars operating as usual. Japan is another good example with favorable outcomes without harsh economic lockdown.

In our country, government planned to Vaccine 80% of population nationwide, ie everyone other than children and some specific group not suitable. Primary we have no control over the Virus and Vaccines at consequential equilibrium cost.

At wider scope and better clarity, I pay attention within my reach ie HealThy Body-Mind to experience the Natural challenges ahead 🙏

There is not easy to differentiate Spiritual Awakening or Mental Disorders as the symptoms very similar. The next challenge is god or evil as thy are equally powerful.

Oh, this thread is going to be fun to read.

do you know how to cultivate Qi?

Korea culture

Is Qi one of the essence of Taoism? Things like qigong, taochi are also from Taoism? Always hear how people can feel the qi but I was like don't know how it feels

3 thousand years ago, LaoZi suspected something governing the Universe, he is not sure and temporary assigned Tao 道 to describe it. The Energy connection of Tao to flow or working call Qi 炁。He proposed if we could observed the pattern of Qi or how the Natural Flow and make use of it, that would benefit our Longevity and humanity. To me is initial of the Ancient Scientific University.

We are embedded in 3D Physical world but something exists where we are not able to know. Scientists discovered that 99% Chimpanzee’s DNA 🧬 is similar to Human Beings. The Smartest Chimp may have Wisdom of human toddlers.

4D:
Dot - no dimension except a set of coordinate
Line - 1D (with 2 Dots at the end of boundary)
Square - 2D (with 4 Lines on the circumference)
Cubic - 3D (with 6 Square on the surface)
4D should be 8 Cubes but our intellect yet to understand

Assuming there is a Higher Dimensional Creature, 1% DNA better than us, their toddler smarter that our Smartest Genius as if we see Chimpanzees. Thy may move objects in our 3D Cubic Space into any other 8 Cubic Space that disappeared instantly in our eyes.

We have yet to figure out the connection between these 8 Cubic Space. Many scientific research suggested our Consciousness is Independent from our Physical Brain. I used to ask my dad, how you know all those Traditional Medicines when Someone’s Consciousness driving your Mind. He doesn’t know but he could tell if Mr WONG or Mr Weng in his mind driving his physical body. My DNA inherited this kind of senses, so do my children.

Meditation, QiGong, Acupuncture, Talisman, Ritual, Alchemist, Energy Healings, and many others seems interrelated with 4D Reality. Albert Einstein E=mc² where CERN European Nuclear Energy Research already created some Matter from No Where and may sending matters out of our 3D world into unknown. Sounds like ancient Taoism making Gold from No Where at specific methods and Qi Energy.

Belief is not fact but I’m open to explore the possibilities beyond my current knowledge. I’m Taoist Priest, Energy Singing Bowl Healing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Practitioner, all these efforts complimenting insight of our reality.

Just for openness discussion, not fact.

We are not sure of the Time direction. Egypt Pyramids build 5 thousand years ago as Time flow according to our understanding. What if Time could move in the reverse manner that Pyramid builds 5 thousand years in time to come?

Scientific discover that Entropy might give us a clue in the direction just like the movie Tenet. Scientists proven that faster speed slower time (GPS Satellite), Heavier Mass slower Time (Interstellar movie good presentation). If I were on the heavy planet, my time is 1 hour but on planet earth could be 1 year. I only experienced 1 hour as normal flow. If happens that I were at a time reverse zon against the earth. I walk in front direction but you may see I’m reverse.

The movie LUCA, exploring human mind from 10% utilization to 100% where coincides with my discussion with my dad. We have yet to fully understand our Mind or Consciousness and Time is another mystery property in our understanding.

Taoism offers one of avenue to explore the natural reality.

Extension from DNA evolution and information from all our ancestors, some psychic may telling me that 16th life before we were brothers....

Put aside Soul and Reincarnation, that is highly possible if our DNA carries such information. Memory is unreliable whereas evidence of Time is memory recalls.

Karma or Cause and Effect, we think cause come first follow by the effect. It is true in most cases but Steve Jobs having effect (goals) to have a phone without buttons then reverse engineering the cause (problems).

In my R&D tenure, we wanted a miniskirt air conditioner first then tracing back how to modify from current gigantic bomb size air conditioner then. Today is common slim unit but at that time, people asking what is the demand, market size, who will buy,....where all answers were negative, becos it was Not real yet, just our dream. The whole trick was so simple that we find a way to put soaps on the cooling surface, wetting without freezing (10% change in volume, damages the equipment, blocked the air flow) for decade. We reduced the air conditioner size more than 50% at same efficacy.

My friend just asked me if no fruit trees (cause), what fruits (effect) I can eat. I asked him back what fruits he likes to eat then we plant the trees. It is interrelated but the direction of time could be opposite.

In 2016, scientists discovered 355 sets of genes are common in most of living beings. We might came from a common ancestor LUCA. You and I could be interconnected embedded in our Collective Unconsciousness where I call it intrinsic informative field library.

Many study reverted that a group of monkeys discovered a new method of eating apples, some other groups of monkeys distanced away acquired the new discoveries about the similar time among the similar species without physical communication.

From 4D, DNA, Time Relativity, that is not uncommon that some people could communicate with snakes, birds, plants, spiritual beings, ....as we might be Bro & Sis once upon a time 🤓

1. Stem cell growth Neurons in Test Tube 🧪
2. Skin cells response to environmental stimuli in Petri Dish 🧫

Apparently these commercial farming having Consciousness independent from our Brain.

If one day our technology is so advanced (China created 2 genetic modified twins) that scientists take my hair or nail like black magician to clone 10 of me. Are these 10 independent me having souls? Are they me even though 100% of my DNA?

Apparently I would not know what they are doing at all just like my Stem Cells & Skin Cells growing in lab now. Out of these 11 me, sharing common soul or 11 independent souls while 11 independent Consciousness?

I have yet to reincarnation but another 10 me out there. Will I have a chance to be reincarnated?

AI could recognize voices, faces, languages better than you and I, is AI having Soul?

An introduction of a new book, the source of consciousness. I didn’t buy.

Most of the arguments I have touched before the book published. In a nutshell, the author suggested that Consciousness is Performance of Functions accompanied by Experience. He raised the idea of correlation between Intrinsically Conscious and Feeling. Identically all the Gist of Applied Psychology Therapy is dealing with Emotional Management.

The book is so new and yet, the effect of Collective Unconsciousness among the human beings might message me unknowingly 🤓

All living beings shared the common ideology of
Good to Survive, Bad to Die.

The concept of reincarnation does not appear in the TaoTeChing or the writings of Chuang Tzu, upon which the Taoist philosophy is based upon. In addition the emphasis of Ultimate Goal of Immortal can be learnt when living or after.

In my opinion, the Enlightened Gautama Buddha knows everything under the universe and teaches us his way. On contrast, LaoTzu doesn’t know Tao & Qi precisely and Encourage us to Humbly Explore the Nature for the benefits of living beings.

Life is full of possibilities, up to us to choose what style is suitable for our preference 🙏
