For some reason I cannot let it go.
I have such a disdain for “those types” that get involved with meditative/religious Yoga, Taoism, Buddhism, etc… because, especially in America, they tend to CHEESIFY everything. Everything is goddamn beautiful and smells like roses and “all you need is love,” and that “love conquers all,” and all that flowery shit. I agree with some of that to a certain point, but “those types” try to pretend that murder, rape, wars and greed don’t even exist.
It’s because “those types” spend their entire existence in the clouds and forget that there’s also another reality they have to deal with. So they go to Boulder or some posh suburban / outdoorsy place where it’s nice and safe and practice whatever bullshit, bastardized version of Eastern Religions they’re into.
That’s not spirituality. That’s escapism.
The reason why I’m so grounded is not just because I rub my Yongchuan KD-1 acupuncture points on the bottom of my feet after a cultivation session, but because I do my best to harmonize Heaven, Earth and Man. Heaven is the spiritual reality, Earth is the mundane reality and Man is your own psyche-somatic reality. I do my best every day to harmonize and balance all three realities because as Alan Watts would say, they’re three aspects to one single reality.
This is why they call it Quanzhen Taoism: Complete Reality / Complete Perfection. Your reality is complete because you can live in all three realities all at once because they are harmonized. This is Perfection.
Being completely un-grounded is why “those types” bother me. If they wanna live life in the clouds without wanting to deal with the mundane reality, fine. But almost 100% of the time, “those types” are also the people who point their fucking fingers at others, evangelize others and act as if they’re better than everyone else.
And by “those types,” you know what I’m talking about. Those suburbanite crunchy granola new-age types that dress up in weird shit, say weird things, collect turquoise and watch “The Secret.” WHATEVER. If you’re one, you’d better rub your Yongchuan KD-1 acupoints after you meditate. Maybe you’ll rid yourself of the superficial duality you’re creating yourself.
Okay, I’m done. I’m compassionate again. Move on.
