Arnaud Versluys - Free on-line lecture on Formula Modifications

[Guest guest]

Stephen,

Thanks for the link...

 

From taking 5 weekends of Arnaud's Shang han lun classes,

I can say that he is both articulate and energizing in his inspirational

lectures.

 

I have no problem in prescribing a very succinct, focused and effective

formula with less than 10 herbs.

Six months ago, that was always a challenge.

 

The forum at arnaudversluys.com is also a great resource for classical

formulaism.

Arnaud is very generous with his knowledge and experience.

Looking forward to the case studies weekends.

 

K.

The Four Reliances:

Do not rely upon the individual, but rely upon the teaching.

As far as teachings go, do not rely upon the words alone, but rely upon the

meaning that underlies them.

Regarding the meaning, do not rely upon the provisional meaning alone, but

rely upon the definitive meaning.

And regarding the definitive meaning, do not rely upon ordinary

consciousness, but rely upon wisdom awareness.

Arnaud has a gift for teaching this material. I've learned a lot from

his work, essential stuff I haven't heard before.

 

One doesn't have to stick with only SHL/JGYL prescriptions to use this

material, but one will learn how to carefully modify classical

prescriptions without going off into chaos. Composing prescriptions

is like writing a musical score, it has to be written just as

carefully or you get a lot of noise instead of harmonious music.

I watched the video last night.

 

Some superior material, inferior audio quality.

 

Whomever is recording these videos would be well advised to better mike the

speaker. The echo in the room and periodic coughing preventing me from

really getting all I could from this otherwise great streaming video.

Thanks for posting this video! I really like his idea of emulating the

masters in the original, classical style before going off and

developing our own.

 

The way I see most people modifying formulas today is somewhat

reminiscent of all that went wrong (culturally) in the 1980s: Milli

Vanilli, neon color palettes, crimped hair, spandex, etc. Just because

technology enables us to combine 20+ herb powders into one formula

doesn't mean we should.

Ha, that's really funny! I'll have to remember this metaphor! Milli

Vanilli prescriptions!
