Lon: We can't discuss Buddhism, Confucianism, or Daoism in the context of

TCM? And you place import on historical significance in the medicine? Or, can we

only mention these things intellectually but never mention the impact they

have in our lives or our patients healing?

As to ego, I'm telling you that cleavage from the real (yang) to the

unreal (yin) is the engine that drives all internal syndrome patterns and

creates

the vulnerability to all external patterns. The dysfunctional qi that supports

ego is the engine that drives all constitutional dysfunction in terms of the

five element system. And, all stagnations addressed by TCM including

possession, blood and qi stagnation, or wind/cold/damp are the physiological

embodiments of ego.

Either Chinese medicine is wholistic or it isn't. Either it includes the

mind and spirit or it doesn't. The conditioned mind feels comfortable

embracing feel good " spirituality " and by discussing it intellectually in terms

of

metaphors like shen, hun, po, or ling. I'm interested in spirit as it impacts

the

medicine now, in the West where I practice, devoid of myth and superstition.

I'm interested in a CM that tears the false self of humanity to shreds and

ressurects what is real. As far as I'm concerned Attillio's prohibition reflects

the materialism that still deeply poisons the heart of TCM and keeps it from

fulfilling its potential as being the cutting edge medicine for the 21st

century. -Lon
