has befallen
humanity: all the do-gooders have created a schizophrenic man. When you
divide reality into means and goals you divide man himself, because for man,
man is the closest reality to man. His consciousness becomes split. He lives
here, but not really; he is always somewhere else. He is always searching,
always inquiring; never living, never being, always doing; getting richer,
getting powerful, getting spiritual, getting holier, saintly always more and
more. And this constant hankering for more creates his tense, anguished
of relationships and systems on the other. In Western terms, we can say that unlike more common
exercises such as tennis, football, baseball, jogging, golf, swimming, or cycling, tai chi is a
mind/body practice of the sort that yoga is intended to be, offering benefits that transcend the purely
physical. Intellectually understanding tai chis philosophical concepts leads to a change of mind, and
performing tai chi movements leads to a change of body. When the mind and body engage in a
dialogue of hormones and neurotransmitters, the transformational effects of the practice are enhanced
in an exponential way. In TCM terms, we can say that as a system, tai chi benefits the level and
distribution of our energy by bolstering some dimension of movement here, some emotional and
intellectual facet there.
