Amazing Spiritual Tai Chi Form

Can Enlightenment conflict with my religious beliefs?

Some people don't believe that they are candidates for enlightenment. Their religion may not use that word, so they may be uncomfortable with it. I use the word Enlightenment simply to evoke a feeling of natural radiance shining from within. So please use "enlightenment" as you like it. It's a spiritual concept that is self-defined. If you are uncomfortable with Tai Chi for Enlightenment, I suggest you use its other name, Primordial Qigong.

Trust that enlightenment is a gradual process, even if it has big or dramatic moments. It's not a fixed event or state defined by someone else or by some strange cult. Everyone is eligible to experience enlightenment - it's our birthright as humans. When a child first learns to tie their shoe, that is a mini-moment of enlightenment.

There are an infinite number of such moments possible. All these mini-moments can become a continuous flow of greater enlightenment. But we must initiate and support the process, or it simply won't continue to happen. Many adults sadly have given up on recovering the natural enlightenment they spontaneously felt as children. Kids feel immortal, like they are living in a timeless universe of endless discovery - because that is their actual reality! But we don't have to abandon that state!

As adults, we must keep our inner will power involved, or our natural enlightenment process may get bogged down by outer stress. Stress and trauma are just the scattering or suppression of your personal chi and spirit until you gradually lose your will to live. That's why most adults are slowly exhausted by life.They don't have a strong energetic or spiritual center that lets them bounce back.

People lack the proper tools to help them focus their chi or concentrate their spirit in one center. That leads us to seek the religion or spiritual path of our choice in the hope that a God or power beyond us will help us. Tai Chi for Enlightenment is compatible with any religious belief.

People used to be worried that yoga was a weird eastern religion, and now its is commonly taught in Christian church centers. Some Western fundamentalists have tried to demonize Taoism, but that will also fade away as people learn about spiritual science. Taoists in China accept all religions as carrying valid truth for their believers. Tao is neutral and natural. It is simply the "Way" our inner self unfolds. In China it is common to hear a Buddhist or a Confucianist to say that they follow the Tao. My first Taoist teacher, Mantak Chia, is also a Christian; his mother was a minister. He is both Taoist and Christian.

Simply practicing Tai Chi for Enlightenment focuses your inner will to be enlightened. We could use religious language and say it awakens the God power hidden within you. It would also be appropriate to describe this tai chi process as "God helps those who help themselves".

This special tai chi form automatically centers you in your own being. When you do the form, your inner sense of divine power meets your ego body-mind halfway, and they do a sacred dance together. Whether you want to call it the spirit of Tao Immortals or Holy Spirit or Buddha nature or sub-atomic quarks having a party, that is your own private business.
