Taiji Dao
Taiji is in practice what 'Dao de Jing' expresses in principle
These principles remain universal throughout the known worlds,
undiminished by their common reduction to intellectual ideas, emotional values, or religious rules, by the various races of the Earth.
There is only one true Taiji, one set of principles.
Human deviation gave rise to family styles (Yang, Wu, Chen etc) which each has strengths and weaknesses. Their strengths are where they follow the principles and their weaknesses are where they deviate from the principles.
We train fluid power waves:
Yang Style issuing transverse wave
Wu Style borrowing pressure wave
Chen Style spiral twisting wave
We follow my teacher's advice,
"Return to the original principles, from before the styles diverged."

Energy Realms
The world is a series of inter-penetrating subtle energy realms
One Balanced Way
Train intention, awareness & intelligence within the 3 realms of the Deep Mind, while aspiring towards the Beyond.
The only way to the Beyond is through the Deep Mental.
Access to Deep Mental is through the Deep Emotional.
The way to the Deep Emotional is through the Deep Body level.
The only way to the Deep Body level is through the body itself.

Taiji Transmission
The further back in time we look the more obscure the history of Taiji becomes
Yet, studying this past, 2 things become clear.
Taiji's inner essence flows down from genuine teachers to sincere pupils in unbroken chains.
Each teacher devises a personal system to express and pass on the impersonal inner teaching. The teaching must evolve outwardly or die inwardly.

WorldWideWay
Myriad methods, but only one Way.
The worldwideway is the internal path back to our essential being.
It steadily unfolds as we delve deeper into our own inner world.
But beware, the inner world is deceptive, even dangerous, as the Mind perceives this world through its own self-created web of illusion – sometimes delusion. Without true directions and a guide, people will almost certainly go astray.
For those who wish to retrace their steps that guidance is available without which, practically speaking, there is little chance of finding the way.
Only a fool would feel capable of guiding others on this individual internal path. It is obligation to those beyond, not choice, which is behind what is offered here.
The worldwideway might condense to a few words
"Seek a broad balance of life experience"
"Give Respect, Feel Gratitude, Be Humble"
"Deepen consciousness"
"Reach out for the Beyond"
"Seek a broad balance of life experience"
Harm no one.
Understand others – change yourself.
Stay positive in whatever life brings.
"Give Respect, Feel Gratitude, Be Humble"
Give respect to those who transmit the teaching. Feel gratitude for the teaching. Be humble in the face of the high source behind the teaching. Expect nothing in return
"Deepen consciousness"
Use any helpful exercises or meditations, inwards through the 3 levels of human existence – etheric, astral & celestial (jing, qi, shen).
"Reach out for the Beyond"
Realise, as the Beyond grows within, that your outer human existence is next to nothing.
