i'm not just some tentacled head
in a jar under the desert.
so, if you look at that stuff, 'chi'
and some of it's entailments,
like looking it up in the dictionary,
it claims that 'chi' concerns itself
with some sort of 'balance' of elements
so as to increase your harmonious
disposition with -nature-.
that being said,
if we go directly to the conclusion,
and look at "Life and Death"
one may ask themselves how -they-
would go about balancing 'life and death'.
in some respects it would seem that the very
best anyone could do is to flap their arms
as they fall into the grand canyon.
until and unless you even identify that
which -is- "Life" you cannot possibly
'balance' the predisposition towards death.
i mean, you could take cold showers and
hot baths or lay in a lukewarm body
temperature environment, and things
of this nature, and find that none
of these -increase- the balance of
'life' with respect to 'death'
so, you eat food that tingles all four
sensory receptors on your toungue.
that may be thrilling and 'taste' nice,
but it does nothing to -increase- your
balance of 'life' with respect to 'death'
and you take up with Renfield and start eating
live bugs so as to, you suppose, take their
'life force' directly into your being and
thereby -increase- your own 'lifeforce'
and find that this is a meaningless gesture
in pseudo-fanaticism to an idol of the 'Undead'.
because these bug's 'lifeforce' is not
transferable to you no matter -when-
you ingest them, before or after -they-
have ceased to carry it.
meaning, so, you eat a live bug,
an it dies while you are eating it,
just because it dies in -your- mouth,
doesn't mean that the bug's 'lifeforce'
will transfer to -you-, and it's just
as if you drank a protein drink.
just 'lifeless chemicals'
no increase in the 'balance' of your 'lifeforce'
so, you start flapping your arms.
good, that's nice, flapping yur arms is good,
-but- flapping your arms does not stop the falling.
so, that would seem hopeless,
and, we're right back at;
"eat and drink, for tomorrow we die"
but you still want to live.
so, where is this "Life"?
people would go halfway across
the earth to find fountains
of living waters.
little ever being able to realize that
these 'living waters' may be no further
than your own backyard,
but the -distance- between you and "Life"
is to be surmounted in our own conscious
agreement with "Life" itself and finding
that "Life" itself has a consciousness
all its own.
so, how do we reason with "Life"?
when we suggest that Jesus Christ is
"The Way, The Truth, and The Life"
we may begin to see
this "Life" as comprehensible
and our Hope is renewed.
and as -this- Hope begins to flood over
our conscious awareness, we get our
first taste of "Life" as if from
The Source of All things.
but, what we will begin to come to comprehend
is that -this- "Life" has _no_ 'death' as counterpart.
and so, as i meantioned in another place,
it begins to constitute itself as a radical
re-assessment of "Life" itself.
and this we can seek from no -other-
but only from The Source of The All.
and that Source is Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ -is- the chi and beyond
Jesus Christ -is- the culmination of
the perfectability of the Saints.
in Christ, we are -not- a
'balance' of 'yes and no'
but only Yes.
for, in Christ, -All- is -Good-
and outside of Christ, there remains only
the fast approaching appointment with
destination 'potential energy well.'
it is true, you cannot reach
this by flapping you arms
but if you raise your arms, Christ
is willing to reach for you and
pull you up.
you -will- see benefit,
in this life
and in
Life to come.
now, spit those bugs out of your mouth.
there's more...
of course.
and the long and short of -this- is, that;
it leads to pessimism
which leads to cynicism
which leads to the
"whatever i can get away with"
mentallity
which leads to a
-perpetual- state of War
and that ain't 'harmony'
so, we -must- be looking for something -higher-...
so, seeking a harmony with nature leads to War?
sounds strange, but, we forget who we are...
still sounds strange, but look at it again;
seek harmony with nature to perpetuate life
see endless failures in perpetuating life
develop pessimistic attitude about life
decide life is short and immediate
gratifications are all we can accomplish
fully develop the breeding of Cynicism
and now,
"whatever i can get away with"
-is- your approach to 'harmony with nature'
and this -is- a state of perpetual conflict.
and this is where the 'higher way'
can be our -only- Savior.
...more details...
people who develop this will not
come right out and say to you;
"harmony is war"
because it gives their hand away.
but do not -fear- it
because -fear- is a most potent weapon inasmuch
as it places -you- at work against your own self.
just remember, -that- 'way' is -not- 'freedom'
inevitably, it is a tailspin
they -need- -you-
show Mercy
just see;
"harmony is war"
is a -trap-
do not fall into it.
as some are -in- the trap already
and would pull you -in- with them.
because look, it has what -seems- like benefits,
you are -always- in a state of war
so, when someone approaches you with difficulties,
you are not immediately taken aback and stumbling
over your own -fears-.
for you, war -is- 'harmony'
so, you are -never- 'caught off guard'
or unsuspecting or unawares.
but, in -your- 'ideal' state,
everyone else would behave the same 'way'
so, -no one- is out -looking for- conflict
because -everyone- is -always-
prepared for just that.
but this remains the 'lower way'
in that even the damping out of
as much conflict as is possible
will -not- _increase_ your ultimate balance
of 'life' so as to overcome the weight of -death-
and so, the pull towards complacency
and pessimism and cynicism maintains
a stranglehold.
you simply manage to flap your
arms as you fall into the chasm.
