23. Avatar Aang drinks tea

☳ I seriously need a cup of tea 茶. Any type of tea 茶: Green tea 綠茶, black tea 紅茶, oolong 烏龍茶 or pu-erh 普洱茶. I think it is time for my own bit of Tea Time equals Me Time. ☵ I have just come back from yet another regular session of Baguazhang 八卦掌 and I discovered a note on my desk which basically reads that I have been living in a glass tower: A show-pony going nowhere. ☶ I have been doing Baguazhang for as long as there has been Avatar Aang 降卋神通 and The Last Airbender show. The series was what got me into it. I really loved the accurately animated martial moves of Baguazhang 八卦掌, Tai Chi 太極拳, Northern Shaolin 北少林拳, Hung Gar 洪家拳 and Southern Praying Mantis 螳螂拳. ☰ Back then, I thought, if I stick it out and do as much as they do in the Chinese wushu schools I also would be able to do amazing feats. That did not come to pass. Instead I became a qigong master 氣功主. ☷ Did I manifest my own version of Avatar Aang becoming an energy bender at the end of the his ultimate journey? ☱ And if I did, am I now manifesting the next stage along the journey? ☲ These are big questions that will in time get answered, like why do I keep switching between simplified, traditional and rectified Chinese characters? ☴ Perhaps I enjoy spinning in circles. I used to do that a lot in primary school before I even knew there was a martial art called Baguazhang 八卦掌. It always made me be free like floating on air... Silly isn't it. But that is the first experience I can share about Baguazhang 八卦掌 and quantum physics. In very basic terms: The centre of time is the same point as our centre of space. What happened in our past is only a reflection of what will happen in the future at equal distances. Actually its the other way round - Our perception of it is back-to-front. Ponder on that. You will now need that cup tea. Because I bet that as soon as you have read this paragraph, your mind will start racing to connect the dots for you. Liked what you heard & want to connect with me?

Here you will learn that there is more to the Taoist internal martial art of baguazhang than just self defence, becoming a fighter, Kung Fu master or retiring to a monastery. The Tao leads some to become a martial arts boss in search of their true spiritual identity. Perhaps by listening in, you too could discover your own guided path up the mountain. This is one man's internal martial arts journey to Bagua Shan 八卦山.
