Maybe each meridian point on the body is linked to a musical note. And each persons body has a slightly different tuning.

And for every moment there was a tune for the meridian system, that brought about health.

Hmmm. Maybe I'm going a bit mad.

I note for all things.

But what notes bring happiness, a new car a new house or good friends ? What notes heal your cells or liver.

Well, notes come in many forms, for instance the sound of leaves is a note or the sea is a note. SO often the notes come from nature or the natural world.

(So there are a few fundamental things that )help.)

The wind passing though the trees is a fundamental note so to say.

So why is healing so difficult, and why and there be notes to aid in that process ?

Well healing is so difficult because often we are held back from what we need by how we feel. So nature allows us not to be held back. It is freeing.

Let us say you are it the desert and you need water and you have none. This would probably cause fear. Because you think you might die without the water, So always there is something that you need and there is a holding back from what you need to be free or safe.

Let us now say that in your mind water *Represents* something, it might be self disclosure or the ability to continue to *flow* in some way. Let us now say that typing frees you from your dilema, so typeing is like the flowing of water or the wind passing through the trees. The Art of living, (but I am not at this point) is to understand how to free yourself from the seperatness of yourself. Like the invisable barrier. Always the answer has something to do with the freeing of flow of emotion against the odds. And a return to "wholeness". Hmmmm.?

People are freeing too. As part of a group.

There is a man who lives across the street, he seems happy, he has a wife and a kid, a house and a car, and ofcourse a a job, the holy grail. He seems happy.

I have never met his son, but in conversation he talks about his son *as if he is there* he drops him into converstion as if I know him, or as if he knows him.

There is no seperatness in his perception of the world, all is one and there is no need to qualify of hold back certain infomation because of its validity to the present moment.

Like in old times where the gods lived in the hills or trees, or there ansestor live with then on the mountain. Again there is no seperation of things that have "gone" or do not qualifiy to the present moment.

I/we see it a niave or happy people strike me as niave, but there view of the world is always complete.

[Impass.]

I guess its a bit like the quote

" The mistake of thinking that the aim of meditation is to completely empty the mind creates in one the sense that ***whatever is there should not be there."***

The last bit. Whatever is there should not be there. Maybe it should be there? Like a god from the old times.

But I still dont have a job or a car ? lol

Sorry for the long delay. It's the holidays!

There are a lot of ideas here and I'm not sure especially what questions you're putting forward. If you have a definite question, perhaps you could rephrase it?

But just from your thoughts, I've always loved the analogy to musical notes. I first read it in Gurdjief, who made a very explicit analogy with personal development, saying that the half-notes in the scale required extra effort at that time or else direction is changed. I don't know any explicit linking with meridians, but I like linking music with anything. I don't always limiting it to the intellectual though - I feel my heart understands music in a more profound way than my head. And yes, that's after studying music theory for a while!


I also like what I understood of the other things you wrote, as well as on meditation.

In the West, we tend to have the wrong assumption that teaching is like a task a machine can do. If anyone says the words, it will have the same effect. I say this because when I first learned meditation at Buddhist centers 20 years ago, I realize in retrospect that I was also learning many unspoken controls and judgments about my psyche. These weren't voiced, but they were there. Meditation was to relax, to be whole, to notice, to be. But because there was a direction and judgments, there was a strong desire to move, to change things, which created conflict. There is violence in that, the desire to make something other than what it is. Others may not call it violence, but I've learned that whatever form it takes, it is the same thing. It could be a bomb, it could be the raucous cries of politics, it could be a teacher praising one child over another for a lesson, it could be a preferential glance, or it could be an internal split in one's self - but it's all the same. Violence. Violence is simply the need to have something other than What Is. I think it's the perception of that that both leads to meditation and an end to external violence.
