The Way to the True Path of the Martial Arts
I was in the army in 1969, stuck with drab duty and endless amounts of time in which to conjecture. I was supposed to go to Viet Nam and kill people. This was not a task I was looking forward to.
One night I fell into a conversation with an egghead, and he asked me if I have ever read Lao Tse. I replied no and asked him what it was. He said it was...The Way.
To be honest, I had come across the concept of The Way in my study of the martial arts. I had read of the concept, talked about it with fellow students, and considered it in light manner. Oddly, though I had studied the martial arts for a couple of years, I had no idea that there was a book written expressly about The Way.
Not long after that I found a copy of the book and began to examine it. I dwelt upon the passages, translated the ancient Chinese terminology into terms I understood as best I was able. I was to find that the mere reading of the book, which is not a sizable volume, was a journey in itself.
There is no back without front, there is no low without high, translated into the most fascinating dichotomy I had ever imagined. Oddly, I found that these concepts, front and back, high and low, were extremely useful when it came to fighting. Indeed, as the years passed I was to find that the mere consideration of this dichomoty, even in the middle of chaotic freestyle, brought order and advantage of a sizable nature.
My favorite passage, Do nothing until nothing is left undone, positively enlightened me. I would trade the passage of years for the chance to implement this strategy. Eventually, the forms done ten thousand times, I would start to understand, and my art would actually engage in the effortless principles that make up the True Art.
Not every time would I be able to make the concepts of The Way function in my real life actions, but the contest was in The Way, and this contest brought me out of the box, undid the normal way of thinking, and enabled me to actually be a seeker in action, and the whims of my youthful desire began to manifest. Emotions became a joy, age became a relaxation, and and still The Way nudges me hither and yon. My form transmogrifies to the lilt of this ancient rhyme, and another world beckons unceasingly.
A perfect world, where the realization that The Way is merely the unceasing time before me has opened up before me. A world where those obsessed with such things as political intrigue and the power of the dollar fall sick by the wayside and envy me my youth and good health. A world where human beings exist, outside the range of transgressions and judgment, this is The Way that has opened up and accepted me.

christianity and taoism?
does anyone think that taoism (philosophical taoism as taught by lao tse and chuang tse) could be compatible with christianity?
You must realize that any religion or philosophy, they teach man
has an evil nature, but they follow the same methodology that man can change himself by trying to do good to reach a higher level
consciousness an outward perfection.
Man's sin nature cannot be changed, God knew that, all flesh is sin, and the only thing that can be done with the flesh is to put it to death. Christ died on the cross as our substitute, His flesh was nailed to the cross, because the flesh is hopeless it is and will forever be corrupt to the uttermost.
That is why man must born anew to receive a new life God;s life. When Christ was crucified all of mankind was represented. The hands had to be nailed to the cross because they love to sin, the feet had to be nailed to the cross because they love to sin, The head was pierced with crown of thorns because the mind loves to sin, the body was pierced because the body loves to sin, blood flowed out of all Christ's wounds because only His blood can wash away our sins, and only by receiving Christ as our savior can he receive a new life God's life, which qualifies man to enter the kingdom of God.
Man trying to change or perfect himself is like putting a suit on a monkey he may be dressed like a man but he could never enter the human kingdom because it does not have the human life.
Same with man he cannot enter the kingdom of God by looking like he is righteous man needs God's life which is the only righteous life. Man needs God' life this is God's ordained way for man's salvation Amen
Roger Simon: Yes, Sarah Palin is a top presidential contender
More than 13 months ago, I wrote a column that began: "Sarah Palin can be the Republican nominee in 2012. I am not saying she will be, but she can be. Those who underestimate her do so at their own risk."
