The Eight Principles of Tai Jitsu
1. Centeredity (jung): consciousness and energy of the body are in harmony, the center of gravity is always at the lumbar level.
2. Persistence (Zheng): the body is always in balance, the center of gravity does not deviate from the central line.
3. Peace (an): movements are made effortlessly, smoothly and evenly, breathing is even.
4. Fluidity (shu): the involvement of the whole body and spirit in the hidden musical rhythm of stretching and compression, revealing and closing.
5. Lightness (zin): a state of own weightlessness, as if effortless steaming in the air ("as if you are going underwater").
6. Spirituality (lin): a special kind of enlightened sensitivity implying the ability to follow the flow of life impeccably.
7. Completeness, or completeness (man): completeness, the inner self-sufficiency of every movement, of every moment of practice.
8. Vitality (Oto): vitality as the highest, summing up quality of movements derived from all other elements of Taijizuan. "Live" movement is equally effective in all situations and all forms of force.

Oh really…that’s pretty trippy. I’m sure no one will use this science tidbit for an excuse to micro dose “senior” learners…like myself. Fingers crossed.

Now all we need is somebody to connect the AR folks to the pig cornea scientest and we might have ourselves a decent run at some facny AR lens. At least that's how I imagine htese things happenong. One area bleeds into another. Life is a vin diagram. The barriers are thin.

To change the mind, to revamp the brain pan, one must begin with the body. The versatility of the mind is limited to the scope to which the body can experience the world. Ultimately, all things, everything…is movement.
First there was movement. Then there was song. Then came the story of why we dance and the awe for all powers unseen. Doesn’t matter why we sing. This is the wrong question. It confuses us. We are not singing. We are being sung. The song sings us into being. It spins us perpetually not dancing but danced, spun, twirling, and flung onto a stage by oblique and obtuse directors. What are my words but the hope of explaining how the world has changed me?

Notes from Sifu Tan
Tuesday 12/11/18
MInd-Body
-Light up the nerves w the imagination, but don’t let the muscles contract
Mind
-patience, you have to get pass 99 to get to 100. It is a small step, but a long wait
BodyHand
-the hand does not reach, if it does it pulls the body-the body reaches, the mind reaches, the hand remains to keep the body balanced
-expand from the center- do not vacate the center
-don’t leave the middle (the yellow brick road)
Body
-incorporate the weight of the hand
Strategy
-control the pressure of the hose
BodyMind
-You tame the body so the body is not led by the energy. An untrained dog will chase a stick as soon as it is thrown or even thinks it is thrown. The trained dog waits for the master to say go.
-Tai chi helps identify where the blockages are
-the phases help navigate change
Mind-body
-not controlling the energy but consciously being led by, not blindly
Body
-the weight of the body falls below the knee
Body
-the knee is not built for support
Mind
-you are a bowl filled with water sitting/floating on a larger body of water 
-describes the stacking of spinal process
Hand
Strategy
-when the body is quiet the hand has power
Hand Body
-lau gang in the hand- as if a small black hole were drawing in the universe through your palm
Jan 3 Friday 2019 Pushing
When two people touch hands they are one. Knowing how to allow the other to become one, incorporates all the available power toward a shared interest,  works less than the person who insists on two forces occupying the same space.
Spirit
It’s a spiritual connection w another person. I am learning to allow. To be aware of the impulses within both of us.
What is spirit? If we can say Mind can be differentiated from body, then maybe there are other essences that can be named that are different from the mind and the body, but still inhabit both. That is to say there is something more than just mind and body. Something above , below, and (undoubtedly) within that connects all that seems unconnected. That I spirit. We are not separate from it and it is not separated from us. It is the thing from which all things are borrowed and lent and must return. In it or out of it is just the mind trying to find itself, like a balloon that thinks its essence is the air that inflates it. The air is the same in or out of the balloon.
Teaching
When I show u what I can do with this form, that is me showing u the fruit. I want to give you a map to the tree, but what you need to do is learn where to plant the seed and how to care for it as it grows and can one day take care of you.
Tuesday 1.8.19 Strategy
Allowing them to correct is 2nd level Moving in a persons negative space Occupying someone’s positive space w a negative shape
Mind Strategy Centering is The path, not the goal Centering is The method, not the result-0sho
Centering is the direction, not the destination Centering draws the energy to one point
-this is atomic will- 
from that one point of attention, everything in the mind tries to push out, contain the tension. Allow for it. Give the tension space and see how much it can build before releasing the cerebral explosion. Draw in to go out. 
Mind
Concentrated will, coherent will
weaves energy and directs it
Not by pushing it but by creating a path
a vessel for which it can move through
A canal or inner channel.
Through which it. Can change and transform because the way it is held...like spinning a pot on a wheel. the pressure is consatnt, steady, and barely there are at all, but the shape is made by the objects own spinning force. Do not forget that we are all spinning and that we are all falling.
Body strategy
The most powerful anatomical shape is that of the human protecting a child.
Mind body
Center into a point
that point explodes It cannot hold all attention One point can not contain 
all will
Mind
How does an eagle see something so specific from so far away and with so much to look at, to see. How does the sparrow maneuver in dense foliage? There is a weave that connects us. It’s not the intending brain. The focused brain, it’s the feeling Body, the relaxing, receiving vessel, the conduit. 
strategy
The difference between predator styles and humanistic style. One is designed for attacking. The other is designed for avoiding and resolving conflict.

And now from Florida, something that's not scary at all...robot security dogs. Alligators, giant pythons, hurricanes, floods, and now robot dogs.
