Hi Chris,
thanks for the memory jog! Seems like our Markess was the only one who
expressed concern for tying up the resources of the tree so I guess I'll
have to ask him  why he thinks that?

Blessings,

Chris, Gil, James et al,
I don't recall reading on this list in discussion about trees as
broadcasters that this was an additional burden on the trees. Do you recall
who's post that was? Also, don't you think those tai chi practitioners are
using chi from universal source, and not Nature, nor the void?

Jane,

A few months back there was a discussion about using
trees as broadcasters for preps and a few people wrote
in their impressions as well as tree spirit's
impressions and the general conclusion was that the
trees had to do the work in addition to everything
else they do.

I was not really worried that Tai Chi practitioners
would suck the life from all the trees, but that the
effect could not really be dependent on good "spare
chi" from living things in nature.  Rather the
practitioner must be able at some level to pull energy
out of the void.  Given the number of good TaiChi

Re: Gathering Chi (was re: agrisynthesis...)

2002-03-15 Thread James and Barbara Hedley

Dear gil,
There is a very interesting anecdote of Frank Moody which may indicate that
trees can not only act as transmitters , but also may have some extra form
of consciousness than most people would attribute to them.
The story goes like this:
Frank was called in to see what was the problem in the 19 story Price
Waterhouse building in Auckland. Staff absenteeism and illness was way above
what you would reasonably expect. Initial indications led Frank to believe
that the building had been built on a geopathic stress point, however this
did not prove to be the case. He drew a diagram of the area and dowsed that
the problem was emanating from a large tree that had been left in front of
the building with a staghorn fern tied to it. Also the electricity main
conduit ran through the roots of the tree. The deva of the tree was feeling
pretty malevolent towards these people who were parasites in it's energy
field. A short discussion with the deva indicated that if
Frank removed the staghorn fern, tied some of the right coloured embroidery
cottons, cut to the right lengths around the electrical conduit out of the
transformer, the deva would be happy. The result was that after that
everyone agreed that the building was a very pleasant environment to work
in, and absenteeism was reduced to virtually nil.
 Just a few pieces of cotton in the most judicious place was enough to stop
the radiation problems of the electromagnetic fields from the computers and
to counteract the effects on the deva.
Had you heard that story. Maybe you have some other of Frank Moody's
exploits that you could share.
Look forward to seeingyou again soon.
James

I am familiar with research identifying some trees working as receiving antenna
and used a digital multimeter to see that this seems to be the case, but have
not come across any on them acting as a transmitter, but do not question it
could be the case. Has anyone got some actual experiments to share or are we in
conjecture?

Has anyone looked at the relationship between the particular tree and earth
energy occurrences?

Is it speculated to be specie specific or location specific?

How and where are the Preps placed?

Is the Tree's "doorway" (as promoted by Frank Moody) involved?

Hi Tony & Chris et al,
I do not "get" how using a tree as a broadcaster would be "taking over a

time that it is 'doing' what it always does? Isn't a tree always

Tony,

>surely the whole point about Chi is that you
>cannot retain it; you may 'gather' it but it's only
>passing through. 

I am hesitant to completely agree with that.  It
certainly seems like there is a part of the energy
that you keep, and in fact the GrandMaster above me
(teacher's teacher and disciple of the legendary Chen
Fake,who could send people sailing when they touched
him)states that there something like a crystal behind
your navel (dan tien) that you condense your
accumulated chi into.  The measure of your length and
intensity of  practice is the concentration of energy
in this spot. 
 
For me, probably the most significant addition to my
practice (previously Wing Chun Kung-Fu and Chi Kung)
was the focus on gathering and retaining much of the
energy you generate during static chi kung and moving
form (called "nurturing your energy").  I could whip
up strong energy but leaked it away with too much
fajing (explosive energy) and no gathering and
condensing excercises.

On the other hand, there must also be a part of the
practice that attunes you to the flow of energy and
makes you more efficient at channeling (say from the
ether or from the ground or air, depending on
circumstances) energy in an instant.  There, the
concept of "passing through" seems appropriate.

The "parasitical" part of my thought is related to
previous discussion on tying up the energy resources
of a tree in order to broadcast your preps, instead of
building a broadcaster.  And it is a bit abstract.

The acummulating and storing idea may seem
materialistic, but we are material creatures in our
bodies.  I imagine a combination of the two
perspectives (accumulating vs. channeling) result in
the net effects of Tai Chi practice.

Sincerely,
Chris Shade
