This exciting! Ive heard Adam say many kind things about Sifu Smith. Always an honour to hear from a respected teachers' respected teacher.
This is just stupid, complex language from cracks in bones. White superiority through racist evolutionary theory.
What a great video. I will be looking forward to part 2, and I hope there will be more to follow. Thank you to Adam and Chris, as always; and a special thank you to Steve Smith for sharing with us.
I've been waiting for this!
Sifu Smith is great at teaching due to his tendency to mix in great info with humorous asides to keep his audience interested.
So good! thank you for bringing on Sifu Mike Smith. As a prior resident of Nelson and qigong practitioner. Mike is IT when it comes to all things Nei gong. :))) Look forward to part II
🙏
It's nice to see 'nonsense' making sense. 😀 This is another gentleman and scholar.
the picture? is he refering to nei jin du?
Although what he is saying in this video is interesting, I am currious as to how any of this information is actually fact or kind of woven into what is little known to partually known about taoisms the history ? I know tha tthe CHinses opeople hold back almost all of ther history and much of it has also been destriys especailly the Taoist ways from conquering Armies the ywoudl come in and distry every thign they coudl find only a few actual taosit Texts escaped China ifg I rememebr corre ctly Huashan which I think was the japanese invasion , I knwo this becassue one of the people I have met was a Taosit Monk who was ordered form the rest at the temple he was at to leave CHina will all the teaching he could take with him go the the US . and after he had left the burned and destroyed killed off everyone and most of everything. but that was only one temple mind you. but all of that history and treeachign would have been lost whic his why I am curious where the information spoken in this video came from ;).
I think of the Tao in simplest way is Nature and then we havbve huamns humans are about controling NAuter is about balance this is why as humans we will porbably never get reach the Tao until Death or birth losely thinkl9ign meditation is about nture its about lettign things flow naturally adn sometimes this wil ltake time t ojust be and let be thre is not good or bad or evil it just is but as humans we have perspective wihich is in some ways a fault as humans so wh the nhave wha tis good or bad or evil from that perspecitve taosinm as far as I have udnerstoof oevr the last few deaces is find that balance in nauitre not our nature but nature as a whiole long ago people better understood this and stepped otu of being huimand t obetter understand nature or the Tao. of course I have very simplfied my understanding of Taoism, the whole expression of the Tao that can be understood isnt the Tao ( losely phrased ) is becasue we are humans so we will never uinderstand this until Death or when we are born on deat hwe let go whe nborn we know nothing but nature
DROP PART 2
Does Steve Smith believe Qi to be a real existence or just a way of attempting to describe the physical?
I tried to get to Dr Smith's website and it comes up with can't reach this page.
Wow this is fantastic on all levels. I love Dr Smiths humility in expressing his deep knowledge of these subjects, but also Adam demonstrating how powerful it is to really quietly listen ❤
