    Thank you Professor Karyn Lai for this very interesting and informative lecture. It was wonderful! I enjoyed it immensely and learned much from it.
    31:13 - The Master Swordsman book. I love the master's way of teaching his young student the hard but important lesson of always being aware of your environment, or surroundings, that he may avoid attacks or getting hit. When he learned to retreat at the right time, only then was he permitted to handle the sword. Applied to martial art training, you learn how to stand first (stances), walk before you run (stepping), retreat before attack (running), and so on.
    Logically you would learn how to block an attack next, after learning how to run from it with dignity; but only because it is easier to learn blocking if you already know how to advance an attack, the principle of advancing (an attack) is taught next; and blocking attacks last, in terms of the order of the lessons. Of course being able to piece it all together in balanced and harmonious application is the crowning achievement of any martial training.
    32:22 - The idea in Chinese martial arts of wearing out your opponent through properly timed and constructive retreating. That is the law or principle of "Retreat" taught in Hexagram 33:
    Wilhelm/Baynes English Translation
    www2.unipr.it/~deyoung/I_Ching_Wilhelm_Translation.html#33
    1. "The power of the dark is ascending. The light retreats to security, so that the dark cannot encroach upon it. This retreat is a matter not of man's will but of natural law. Therefore in this case withdrawal is proper; it is the correct way to behave in order not to exhaust one's forces."
    2. "Conditions are such that the hostile forces favored by the time are advancing. In this case retreat is the right course, and it is not to be confused with flight. Flight means saving oneself under any circumstances, whereas retreat is a sign of strength. We must be careful not to miss the right moment while we are in full possession of power and position."

      I don't know about passion. That can't be the right word. Passion for the ancient Chinese and the Greeks was something to be gotten rid of. Passion robs reason. Passion blinds. The five colors make the eye blind, you see._

    trying to chill with a few sage in potomac, around 3 today..
    I cast the hexagram THE WELL
    as we chill, the rivers of the world carry pure water to all places in need
    the extension and irrigation of water, physically and metaphorically is the sustenance
    and betterment of the world today...
    it is abusive to not give water to drink before one does some deed,
    water always comes first, and clean pure water is best, America and Japan are great centers, peaceful in action now and nourishing, setting the means for pure water for all, these are times of peace

      potomac is 天, its not really one neighborhood of earthly people, its heavenly souls from all over the universe wandering about (rivers of zen that are never the same)... westerners never really notice, but for the east, its an example, never becoming a city, yet serving all good souls, the conceptual mind lets go of grasping, kansha tame ni nomi

    Ultimately there is no conflict
    trying to chill with a few sage in potomac, around 3 today..
    yesterday we replenished foods, jing and waters;
    other parts of the world draw forces that would be blockages away
    and likewise bring forth forces that are conducive, not a conscious unity
    but the eventuality of the world.
    Everyone has said the right things
    the now is eternal 慈悲の瞑想

    Thank u for this. Just Started watching. Look at the anglosaxon Alphabet. Supposedly there are even different "Reguläre" Alphabets. Im Half German. According to Wikipedia theres a classic albhabet with three or so additional Letters?
    But yea, Look at the European Alphabet in terms of complexity and then Look at any asian albhabet in terms of complexity, sttucturing, etc. I Dont Know What White History says, but Western europeans, think the britisch and German. Actually middle europeans, Right? Their #code, Let Me Just call it that. Is so easy to decipher. Imagine Some ancient asian superpower Seeing, hearing or reading this language for the first time. On one of dem trade routed, etc. Dey #think. The German are. Super Power??? Or the goths, highlanders, Power Rangers or who ever Ruled at the time. History really is written by the winners. And or the most evil intelligent shaolin Monks, viking Leaders or Sultans. Even So Called primitive people.
    Me thinks. Wanna Look for the easiest #civilization to #conquer in #ageofempires? Study Their language. #asia #versus #europe #vs #africa #vs #southamerica #vs #northamerica vs #australia

    Very good talks. But I disagreed at 25:30... about cultivating relationship with family. In time of troubles, they all run away from u if it has something to do with money. That is a fact no matter how much cultivating u do. As for Sun Tzu treatise 30:30, the US understand this completely but it choose to wage war on lesser country like Iraq for profits to the US military industrial complex. It wouldn' dare attack Russia and China.

    Wow, (japanese brace) this girl here is really not prestigious enough for me..(japanese brace) [i look at it though and it is reflecting my heart - this is about friend relationships not romance]
    The two native american girls (I am intuiting they are this based on words alone)
    Actually are...
    Thanksgiving is coming
    These natives seem very well off.. they have a bit more than everyone else, going with them will certain be maintaining m y normal way in the long run

      We now can get through
      Politeness and justness is no longer mistaken for weakness
      Although claires way is AWESOME it takes a zen mind and it needs D for amiability in everyday matters

      I havent allowed them inner circle
      But thats not offensive
      I am bowing to them sincerely but certain shrines are just not in place;
      They arent getting the best of me (thats by brace because this is not gaijin)

    Philosophy??? The word comes from the philo (love) and sophia (wisdom) and so is literally as “the love of wisdom”. Does such term existed in Ancient China? Maybe you are talking about another way of thinking ?

    ______
    Montgomery County Police
    Theyre saying if you say this
    You will have the grounded experiences you want
    The people we dont wqnt are afraid of this
    And energetically this has caused a huge problem
    Because those who try to be leaders should not be afraid of justice
    Health long run
    Here needs throat chakra
    But we had to be careful how
    This is the proper guided way to begin USA and this is with guys whove proven worthy
    Not facist
    Like, this is not mainstream, but japanese culture for instance
    Police is ultimately the name of virtue
    If they say
    You are getting known in maryland on the punk folk indie scenes
    You are living suburban
    Punk heritage with your own innocent original additions
    You will be
    Anything else is dangerous
    And with that established
    We then branch out
    Whose writing books
    Whose trying to make conscious magazines
    Poems
    Who is just chatting and being cool and at times wise...
    But basically.. in DC region
    If everyone is sitting
    White suburban punks
    Being hostile to police
    No good will come
    Thats stupidly disproportionate
    You can be a zen friend
    Checks and balances also
    Or you can be a fool and ignore it but then youll never get the real punk sound
    And that aint a bummer sound
    Youre trying to do some grounded stuff
    Parents are saying fox wisdom could be for this
    Definitely
    With consistently morality
    MCPD says, you are punk
    You are eastern, respecting american police
    These are the seeds of good
    And its a classic synergy
    Awesome zen masters!
    Aligned to wholesomeness
    Its a matter of worldpeace or not
    Human beings
    Are nations
    And individuals
    Studying japans perfect way?
    Iching Love master vol 1-77?
    Heck yess!!!
    Luxkily avoiding soo much gay drama
    So now you know why everything got better
    Traditionally classical
    Japan is known for it
    Now theyre saying it again
    THE PERFECT LOVE MASTER SAGE GUIDEBOOK 1-77

    And if not we may as well not be alive
    Japanese karma
    Cures them all
    Not everyone will master it
    But everyone will know its there
    Not art of war
    Wisdom
    Truth of resources
    But still so overblown
    Real life
    Everyone was geeking over japans perfect way of love
    Wanting to study it or at least be inspired
    Japan
    CAUGHT YOU
    No blame
    Everything going better now
    NOT EVERY ONE PERSONALLY BUT SO MANY
    Improving the love factor A LOT. and mother earth BENEFITS
    LOVEMASTER GENE
    No avoiding it no one get hurt
    Stream the supreme heart wisdom
    THEY GO CRAZY FOR JAPAN
    (Openly admitted
    No one was studying an invasion)
