Well, I said that a lot has been going on, so here is some more of it.
If you have read much of my other writing, you may already understand that I have been fascinated for a long time with the implications of martial arts in general and Tai Chi in particular, on the way we view and live our lives in general.
Now that I have recently turned 74 my conclusion so far is that developmentally and philosophically it boils down to having a clear view of reality, which requires a wide range of understanding from Buddhism and Taoism through psycology and biosciences. Perhaps the key being to seek congruence and a measure of structure in chaos.
The connection is in the chaotic and deceptive nature of power based human interactions. An understanding of Tai Chi offers insights and perspectives that are only available when a human being is fully emboddied and aware – which is what we seek. Essentially it involves creating a Tai Chi Life Balance within ourselves mentally, physically and emotionally.
