greetings friends and family!
i watch tears fall from frustrations run-a-muck and i have an odd sense about what alleviates such for me personally. I feel mycology (biology of the study of fungi) is a link to expanding one's potential realized destiny, saying that, of course, love willing! on an earlier blog pertaining to the art of classical chinese medicine from the awe inspiring words of dr. sean c. marshall, who i admire beyond any silly sense of words' ability to articulate, i would like to add an insert from his recently published student manual, "Li, the inner principles of Chinese Medicine":
"The wuxing 五行 (5 movements - 5 phases - 5 transformations) occur in the bagua 八卦 (the eight marvels, eight miracles, eight directional attributes). The wuxing occur in the bagua; the bagua arise out of wuxing. As above, in the thirteen postures of taijiquan, moving the wuxing through the bagua reveals the three dimensions. These become the unification of space and time, and yin-yang becomes the unification of matter and energy. Back away just one more step and we find that the two, mass-energy and space-time, will reduce from yinyang, into taiji > That is: Stuff (mass-energy) and not-stuff (space-time) being 'not-two'. We know these are facts, quantitatively, phenomenologically, regarding any subject physicists might sit around and discuss, from the realm of the quarks to the behavior of stars and the size of the cosmos. Because they are also qualitatively indigenous, and because they universally represent all phenomena, they are employed in Chinese philosophy, painting, politics, agriculture, astronomy and medicine, as the terms, as the criteria by which we understand that with which we are dealing. Whether it's plotting stars, planting crops, or diagnosis of disease, they become our stock in trade, in tools, and we really do need to understand them at the level of the originators' understanding. They are not spiritual concepts; they are not mystical or metaphysical terms; they are not supposition or superstition. They represent a science and are not subject to personal belief or one's own truth. Gravity doesn't care, why, or how you believe in it. To know it, you must discover its truth. These qualitative emblems are hard science in all the applications. In this medicine, they are terms and definitions of real world phenomena, that qualify the actual behavior of any biologically-driven phenomena." by dr. sean c. marshall of jung tao school of classical chinese medicine
