Just put a new video up on the front page . . .

Me in all my crazyness.

Let me know what you think.

I just put up the Taoist Diet report in the members are.

It’s kind of short (about 14 pags), but I think it’s kind of interesting.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Lao Tzu’s classic text, the Tao Te Ching is now up in the free members area.

This recording weighs in at 54 minutes and 47 seconds.

I wanted to get this thing recorded before we went any further with the Tao Te Ching video study group, in case there were some people caught in “analysis paralysis” or who don’t like to read much.

This is what I want you to do.  Just take action.  Download the free Tao Te Ching Audio book ( go sign up for free HERE if you haven’t yet to get it) .

Once you’ve got it, I want you to load it up in your mp3 player.  Do this before you do ANYTHING ELSE.  Stop whatever else you’re doing and then just do it.

Next, I want you to take the VERY NEXT available opportunity to listen to it.  If that means listening while you’re on your lunch break, or driving in your car, or instead of watching that stupid T.V. that’s trying to brainwash you - JUST TAKE ACTION NOW.

Now - I want you to make a committment to yourself.  The Tao Te Ching is one of the greatest texts of wisdom and living that has ever been written.  Maybe you don’t have time to read.  Maybe you’re not a reader.  Cool.  I’ve recorded it for you.

I want you to listen to this recording one time every day for the next 7 days.  Will you do it?  While you’re walking, before you go to sleep - whenever . . . Just tell me whether or not you will commit to listen to Tao Te Ching for a week with me?

What I want to do is meaure the results.  I want to know if it has any affect on you, and your life.  Not my voice, but Lao Tzu’s words and wisdom.

So, if you aren’t a member already, go to http://www.wudangquan.com and sign up for free, then download the mp3.  Then put it on your computer or mp3 player.

Now, what I want you to do is leave me a comment RIGHT NOW stating exactly *when* you will listen to the recording for the first time, and if you can commit to listening to Tao Te Ching once a day for the next 7 days.

Leave that comment below.

I recorded six new audio book tracks for myself to listen to while I excercise or walk, or ride the bus or whatevever so I thought you might like to check them out to.

Here is a list of the tracks included:

• Chi Wen Dong - The Red Streaked Cave
• The Pivot Of Jade
• The Hsin Yin Ching - Imprint Of The Heart
• Ching Jing Jing - Purity And Rest
• Tai Hsi Ching - Respiration Of The Embryo
• Universal Understanding<

The tracks are kind of rough, as they’re just for personal
use, and I stumbled more than a few times, but you can download and
listen to them HERE.

I’m going to add the following videos tomorrow:

Wudang/Taoist Diet and nutrition

BenchMark Video (aka the watch how fat, out of shape and sloppy I am video!)

After that I’m going to focus on the Zhang San Feng video, and continuing with the Tao Te Ching video study group vids.

That’s it.

Take care everybody.

Video 3 for the Tao Te Ching study group is online inside the members area at wudangquan.com . . .

If you haven’t already joined, go ahead and do that, and leave me a comment here, or leave a video response on youtube and let me know what you think.

As a side note - I’ll be taking all of the comments from here and youtube, and will put it together as a massive Tao Te Ching Video, as well as an ebook and I’ll be giving that to everyone for free.

Also don’t forget that there are some cool gifts for people who participate in the study group:

I went ahead and posted the “Core To Core” video in the members area . . . Let me know what you think.

Went ahead and added the Wudang Forums . . .

Again, none of this takes the place of the actual membership site - it’s just there to supplement it.

If you want to see the real content you have to register on the front page at wudangquan.com . . .

I went ahead and added a video site for non members.

You can find it here:  Wudang Videos

This is not the members content - It’s just some other stuff from youtube, etc.

If you want the WudangQuan.Com Membership content, you have to sign up.

Here’s a list of what’s on tap to be inside the private members area this weekend.

 Core To Core

This is a video I’m putting together which is basically just me talking to you.  I don’t want to get into alot of details before you see it, but it’s going to be kind of “heavy”.  I don’t mean intense philosophical stuff, really or even some knock down drag out self criticism or analysis - but . . .

I’m not doing WudangQuan.Com like other guys do their sites.  When I say this site is about our PERSONAL journeys, I mean it. . . I could post a lot of cold data and some step by step stuff, but that’s not really what I’m trying to do.

So the core to core video is really going to be about the differences between our superficial selves (I’m Bob - I’m a tech support guy and I have a good insurance plan) vs. our core selves (I’m Bob - I want to help other people, I want to understand myself more, and I want to feel free to express who I really am without fear of ridicule, and I want to live life sucessfully, more than I want to live a sucessful life).

So I’m not going to give you any advice or anything, and I’m not going to give you a bunch of get along gang new age BS, but really - I want to talk TO your core self FROM my core self.   If we can at least do that, then the other things will fall into place pretty easily I think.

Tao Te Ching Study Group Videos 3 and 4

I’m going to go ahead and get these together.  I’ll probably film them at Longquan temple here in Kunming.  Not so much because I want to show it to you (cuz I have other videos of it floating around), but because I just like to hang out and parlay there . . .

So TTCSG videos 3 and 4 will basically be about Parts 2 and 3 of the Tao Te Ching, and if you’ve seen the first videos, you know the translation we’re using, etc.

Taoist Diet And Nutrition Video

I’ll also probably film this one at Longquan.  I’ll presnet a basic outline of Taoist dietary considerations, and some stuff specific to the diet of Wudang Taoist monks, etc.  Probably will film this one at Longquan, and maybe in the kitchen if I feel really inspired.

Catch up on correspondance

You guys have been really cool about leaving me comments on the blog and stuff.  So I’m going to go through and try to reply to every one of those individually.  Let’s not say I’m going to try, let’s say I’m going to do that. 

Also will try to catch up on email and other correspondance.

So . . . That’s it in a nutshell.
