Acugraph - Machines vs. Skill

[Guest guest]

Hi Roseanne,

 

Well, I hear you.

My guess is that might be at most 5% of the people using such machines.

To further this discussion, I need to make it clear where I am coming from.

Its not a place of wanting to 'preserve and protect' the antiquities of Chinese

Medicine for

some anthropologically related endgame. I think there is much about Chinese

Medicine, in

fact, that needs to be upgraded to the times in which we live.

My position is that the very very rich diagnostic skill potential that lies

waiting for all who

want to partake - carries with it an invitation to develop one's own depth as a

practitioner and

human being. And I think there is NO limit to the depth that is available for

cultivation here.

It would be very very interesting to ask some well acknowledged pulse masters,

for example,

- people like Leon Hammer or the late John Shen - people who have really plumbed

the

depths of what pulse taking (just as one example of a diagnostic system) has to

offer - it

would be interesting to ask them what they felt of the value of technical

equipment for

diagnostic purposes.

As is the case with so much of the diagnostic side of - there

is so much

you won't see if you don't look and for many, you won't look if you don't see.

Regards

Mystir,

 

I like your posts :0)

 

The whole thing about consciously choosing to hone one's skills from

second to second in clinic is a choice of making diagnosis, treatment

into constant striving to be ever present in the here and now - It

becomes a spiritual practice of uniting Qi and Jing through Shen

transcending them and including them all in an alchemical transformation

into the " becoming being " unleashing unlimited potential - just for the

sake of doing it.

 

Big fancy words, I know, but it's really " just " an everyday task - one

that is easily forgotten if one relies on machines, drugs, and such.

 

There is one true medicine and it's name is consciousness. CM and other

holistic medical systems acting in the rational and embracing the

trans-rational are fingers pointing to the moon!!
