This evening during my state meditation, I really had that experience of how I am the state. Its easy to say it as rhetoric but a few things came to my awareness as I was in that place of embodying the state. During state meditations, Sifu will often get us to mentally repeat sayings which help to bolster the power and flow of the meditation. One such phrase is " I AM THE STATE." Now its not the first time I have felt the truth in the statement, nor is it the first time I have felt or intuited such phrases during the practice, I just have never felt so in state as I did this evening. Anyway, I will get to my point, the awarenesses I received were these, as human beings we are conduits, vorteces for the state, we are a channel for it to constantly move through. A means of its expression and expansion as we focus on our tasks and go about our lives. We are not owners of the state, whilst we utilise it to cultivate power, it is through the sharing of the state that our expansion and power actually grows. One way in which this is done is through the teaching of others to become attuned to the state, nut it is also much like Sifu does now and Sigung did before him, it is the sharing of their chi and the impressing of their intention upon others that is a catalyst for further expansion and growth. We are infinite beings having a limited experience and my experience tonight further compounds this knowing to me. I hope if youread this you found some value to this post. Please leave a comment, I would love to hear your point of view. Adam.
