student asked, In what should we haveconfidence? OmNi responded with theAfollowing article. He recommends that all

sisters and brothers of the Integral Way use theaffirmations written here for their daily self-confirmation.

Confirming a Healthy Confidence in Life

I have strong confidence in my life andconfirm this by my healthy activities.

My body is sound. I take goodcare of the physical aspects ofmy life and remedy any lack ofcare immediately andeffectively.

My mind is sound. I valueand respect my life and thelives of others, equally. I donot listen to negative advicegiven to myself, or to others,

by myself or others, nor seekany direction that harms life. If Iam inadequate, I will improve forthe sake of a healthy world.

My spirit is sound. Though hidden deep in my

life, my spirit supports my life with harmony, poise,calmness, balance and symmetry, just as the Motherof the Universe supports the development of theuniverse. Since I also possess the great universallife, I am inspired to realize the inadequacy ofupholding the small emotional mind as the sense ofmyself. My bossy emotional mind works feverishlyto operate my life, and the more it does this the moreseriously unbalanced my life becomes. However aslong as the need exists, I am willing to correct thisinadequacy by continual spiritual cultivation.

My relationships with all people are sound. Byyielding to conflict, I discover a bigger world thanwhen I choose confrontation. I enjoy the biggerworld and maintain it as my private interest. Myfriends know how to connect with me by doing thesame.

My financial life is sound. I am able to provide formy own life as well as give support to those who

sustain me physically and emotionally. I seekfinancial self-sufficiency without any intention

of causing insufficiency to others. Irespect the creative force in life

when it is used constructively,and I do not allow my concernfor squeezing the world toobstruct my naturalcreativity.

Living with the Five

Healths, I live a soundlife and am receptive to

all those who live ahealthy life and who help

shape the world to be abetter place. I can then say,I am a sound citizen of the

Mother Universe and chooseto be part of her great soul.

I will expand this soundness in my life to

my fellow humans by guiding them to practice theFive Healths in their lives. This is how I fulfill thespiritual duty of my humble life, which I receivedfrom the Mother Universe.

I am blessed by the Mother Universe, as is everyonewho learns how to live a healthy, constructive life.Those who seek world health through the well-beingof their own lives form the fellowship of theuniversal spiritual Integral Way. #

The Path of

Constructive Life

by

"The art of life is a matter of how, like a

good sailor, you can use the wind from any

direction to keep your ship on the course of

health and positive spiritual development.

(from the book, The New Universal

Morality by Hua-Ching Ni)

iving the Way ofconstructive lifeLshould be easy. Itis simply living with the

timeless nature of

Mother Earth and the

universal energy. In

modern times, however,

people have become

confused about the sourceand nature of their life.

Spiritual life now appears

mysterious and beyond the

range of ordinary people. Many

even seek advice about the very basics of

life and everyday affairs. This reflects a

misunderstanding of the nature and purpose

of life.

In order to meet the needs and

challenges of the modern conditioned

mind, the Ni family have combined the

useful teachings of their spiritual heritage

of the Integral Way with other healthy

spiritual teachings and established the Path

of Constructive Life, or PCL. It is

composed of The Five Healths.

The PCL is a guide to happy, healthy

and prosperous living. It teaches that the

Steven Sharkey

Spring 2009

source and path of a peaceful, healthy life

of universal harmony lies in the

constructive engagement of each person

with Mother Nature. Natural conditions

provide for the health of all people. Those

who wish to enjoy a peaceful and bountiful

life may choose to pursue the Five Healths

of a balanced life:

Physical

A person shall be actively responsible for

their own health by engaging in

longevity and wellness practices.

They shall live a

constructive lifestyle and

refrain from indulging in

negative habits or

interests.

Mental

A person shall

manage and refine

their thoughts and

emotions in order todevelop a clear and open

consciousness. They shall

enjoy an educated but

unprejudiced mind that does not

engage in destructive emotions and

negative attitudes.

Spiritual

A person shall purify and strengthen theirspirit through continual self-development

and by performing service to the world.

Moral

A person shall practice universal morality

and nurture constructive relationships.

They shall treat and serve all people

equally, positively and kindly.

7/31/2019 IV Spring 2009

I n t eg ra l Vo yag er - 3 -

Financial

A person shall enjoy a bountiful financial

life through the application of sound fiscal

practices that do no harm to others. They

shall live within their means and share

their abundance with the less fortunate.

These Five Healths summarize the way to

live a good life, fulfill personal duty and

become socially responsible. A person who

attains the Five Healths lives in tune with

the constructive nature of the Mother

Universe. Such a life offers hope for every

person and for the world. It is not a free

gift, however. It grows from a life of

continual spiritual improvement, where the

simplest approach is to embrace the benign

origin of Mother Nature.

It seems to me that the bigger purpose of

the Path of Constructive Life is to return

the world to universal virtue through the

attainment of the Five Healths. When this

is achieved, Tao, or the Integral Way, is athand. It is similar to learning Tai Chi

movement. First, one must learn the

different postures of a form or structure in

preparation for removing the framework

so that one may be moved as nature, rather

than moving forcefully through it. From

this perspective it seems that Integralness

is most essential; on one hand it is the

Mother, on the other hand, the Destination.However one chooses to look at it, the

Integral Way is that from which all things

flow and eventually return.

Integration of the PCL

and the IWS

by Steve Sharkey

t seems apparent to me that the

essence of the PCL is exquisitelyIrepresented in the prelude to Path ofConstructive Life by Hua-Ching Ni and

Maoshing Ni. Within its simple prose it

guides us thus, in part:

What is the correct principlefor us to choose?

Accomplish the big life

through our small personal lives.

In the world, Heaven is the biggest.

In the sky, life is the most precious.

We should treasure our small lives,

while accomplishing

the big life of the universe.

Homage to the Universal Life

in Our Small Human Lives

The small life is ours.

The big life is Heavens

Through our small lives,

we can accomplish

the great life of the universe.

The way in which I understand the

relationship between the IWS and the PCL

is similar. If we consider this union to be a

Tai Chi, then we can see that the IWS is

represented by the unapparent or

inexpressible Yang sphere and the PCL

represented by the apparent or expressible

truth of the Yin sphere. In this way the

large is accomplished by the small and the

small accomplished by the large. Thus the

unapparent may flow freely to become the

apparent and the apparent can flow

likewise to be the unapparent.

As a student of the Integral Way

should I not seek the truth of wholeness so

that I may myself flow freely from the

inexpressible to the expressible truth

without boundary or separation? As I see

it, when all of humanity has integrated the

Five Healths, then all distinctions will blur

and there will be nothing that can be called

the PCL or the IWS.

The Importance of

Regular Practice

by Jono Howard

rior to discovering the Integral Way

and the teachings of the Ni family, IPspent a lot of time learning WhiteCrane Kung Fu. Several days a week I

worked out in a dank basement gym, under

the guidance of my Kung Fu Sifu. A gruff

and no-nonsense man, he taught me

Kung Fu the old fashioned way:

via constant repetition. I spenthours repeating a series of

kicks, twisting punches,

grabs, and blocks. One

hundred repetitions for

each punch and kick,

over and over again, day

after day, until the

movements were burned

into the muscle memory.

Over time, the

constant repetition built up

my body. I put on muscle mass

and people noticed. My friends

commented. My reflexes were sharpened.

After two years of training, it was obvious

that this approach really worked. And I was

not alone. In untold numbers of gyms across

the world, martial arts students were kicking

and punching the air, learning through

repetition. For this is the primary teaching

method of the martial arts. Why? The answer

is simple: Repetition builds power.

Eventually, my Sifu found out that I

had begun learning Tai Chi and was studying

with Omni. He was not happy and gave me a

choice: Kung Fu or Tai Chi. One of his

senior students told me, In the old days, you

could be killed for studying with another

teacher. Well, I didnt want to disrespect my

Sifu, because I had a lot of respect for him,

but my choice was clear...I never returned to

the gym.

Now, I practice Harmony Tai Chi and,

through it, I have discovered a deepermeaning to the primary teaching method of

the martial arts. I do not punch and kick the

air anymore. What I repeat over and over

again is my Tai Chi form, on a daily basis,

over and over again throughout the year. In

Kung Fu, if you are lazy with your punches

and you do not do them with consistent

regularity, you will be a bad fighter.

You will not progress.

Although the movements of

Kung Fu and Tai Chi are

different, the results depend

on the same thing.

By doing a spiritual

practice regularly like

Tai Chi or Chi Gong,

you are building refined

Chi power. It is just like

Kung Fu, except you are notbuilding striking power, you

are building spiritual efficacy.

You are building your own

divinity. The method is the same.

Without regular practice you hit a

developmental wall that you cannot surpass.

Regularity of practice is the way to break

through all internal obstacles. You dont even

need to think about breaking through

obstacles. If you practice regularly, theobstacles naturally fall away because of the

intention built into the practice.

Its like ocean waves beating against a

big rock on the shore. How can something as

soft as water destroy something as hard as

stone? Only through repetition. This is how

the waves beat the stone into nothingness.

Receiving the Tao

by

ecently, a friend and I went to a

Dao Service in which weRreceived the Tao from a HeavenlyMaster. I will sometimes go to these types

of things to broaden my experience, to

challenge my knowledge or confirm my

path. Since I aspire to teach and help the

world through sharing the Tao, I feel it

is important to have experience

with other models for peopleto pursue.

We have adopted the

Five Healths of a

Constructive Life as the

main way to

communicate the Tao--

or more specifically the

Integral Way--to the

world. I favor thisapproach for several

reasons, the main one being

that it is very broad and is

based mostly on attaining a healthy

life, rather than following any kind of rigid

protocol. I think this is very important so

people with an existing belief system may

find value in our offering.

The Dao service we attended wasinteresting. It was done completely in

Chinese and I found it to be enjoyable

because the Chinese language when

chanted can be really beautiful. This was

held in a persons home, and conducted by

a Chinese gentleman who lives in

California. He travels the country all year

giving these and other ceremonies.

Phillip Christman

There were quite a number of

disciples or students present at the event,

all wearing a type of uniform, and there is

a real system in place designed to capture

all visitors information. In fact, when youcome in you are pretty much required to

give a monetary donation that is then used

in the ceremony with your name and this is

apparently necessary for there to be a

proper response. While the ceremony is

taking place (about 2 hours plus) someone

is creating a laminated card for you that

has your name and information on it,

along with the number and

sponsor for you in the

ceremony.

During the ceremony the

women and men are lined

up on opposite sides of

the room and alternate

doing the various

postures and repeating

Chinese verses. After the

ceremony a long-time

student gave a talk about

what happened and, in my

opinion, proceeded to put on a

pretty hard sell about how fortunate we

were to receive the Tao, and that it must be

because of something positive in my life or

past lives. He also spent a good deal

selling the teacher or leader on how

virtuous he was. I learned many thingsfrom attending this event, and one of them

is that I too try to sell too much, so this

was a good reflection for me.

During the ceremony the teacher

touched my third eye, which for him was

exactly on the bridge of my nose between

the pupils, not slightly higher between the

brows. We are supposed to feel different

Spring 2009

I am further

strengthened in our

approach to helping

these areas versus receiving the Dao. I

must be fair and say Im sure there is much

more to their program than this initial

ceremony, where they work on themselves.

At least I hope so for their sake.One thing that leaves a bad taste in

my mouth is that when it appeared the

event was over, my friend and I headed

toward the door and a student there

blocked my way. My initial thought was to

confront him and have a real martial arts

exposition like in the Jet Li movies, but I

thought better of it and realized

there was a one thing left to

do in the ceremony--but it

did not sit well with me or

my friend. When I got

home I could not go to

sleep without washing

my face. I had the very

strong urge to clean

myself.

So, they do have some

systems worthy of

contemplation for growing a

center, and Ill have to reflect

on those a bit more. However, I

am further strengthened in our approach

to helping the world with the Five Healths.

It is a difficult thing to not religious-ize

our path, yet build enough structure to be

able to gather people and have them stick

around. I think this is a very importantdiscussion point for us to consider and

make some decisions about for the future.

#

and start to notice that life becomes less

difficult after receiving this Dao. In fact,

now that it has been about a month I can

reflect and tell you the essence of what

they said is that I am now saved! Theywent to great lengths to say this was above

all religions and was the destination of all

religions, but was not a religion itself.

But, from where I stand their whole set up

was about getting something. They do say

that we dont really receive anything but

that simply our true nature is essentially

awakened and can now be realized,

yet they make it pretty clear

that it wouldnt be

happening without going

through this ceremony and

receiving by this

Heavenly Master.

The gentleman

conducting the event

was quite nice, and in

general the people there

had nice energy--pretty

calm. My initial reaction,

and now my firm belief, is

that most if not all of them are

somewhat hypnotized. In other words the

calm is more a belief of thats how to be,

versus true attainment. I know for myself,

even living with a true Master does not

make one achieved or calm. If anything it

underscores the areas one needs to workon. Even if someone can waive the magic

wand and make me achieved, do I truly

benefit from it if I have not worked things

out for myself?

I must say I would like the

opportunity to share the Five Healths with

all those students and get their feedback

around the idea that one must work on

Studying the I Ching

from The Centermost Way

by Hua-Ching Ni

he I Ching is based on the subtle

observation of the natural patternsTof nature, society, and one's ownlife. This body of knowledge enables a

person to cope with the changing

circumstances of life. This kind of wisdom

is not like the wisdom of Solomon,

which is relative wisdom. The

I Ching reveals the relativenature of the world, yet at

the same time it touches

the deep integral nature

of the universe. As

students of the natural

wisdom of the I

Ching, we accept the

self-contradictory nature

of the world. We alsorespect harmony and

cooperation, which bring

about opportunities in life. By

knowing the subtle patterns of nature,

we can know what will happen, what will

cause trouble, and what we cannot be

troubled by. This profound knowledge is

different from blind faith or belief, totally

different.Learning from the I Ching is a

matter of discovering the law of alternating

yin and yang, it is not a matter of

divination. If you expect things to always

be smooth and beautiful, you are wrong. If

you accept that there is yang, there must be

yin, then you will also accept the fact that

changes in your life circumstances are

natural. When you suffer from a low cycle,

you should not think that there is anything

wrong. Why? Because external situations

always change from yin to yang, and yang

to yin. When you are in a yin stage, sooner

or later it will turn out to be yang.

Sometimes you do very well in your life,

and sometimes you do not. The art of life

is not a matter of what you do or

experience, it is the matter of how, like a

good sailor, you can use wind from any

direction to keep your ship on course. This

is the teaching of the I Ching.

Each person needs to

discover the natural patterns

within oneself, one's

family, and each situation

of one's life in order to

manage themselves

better. If you do not

manage your life well,

it is because you are

ignorant of the subtle

law. If you understand thesubtle law, you do not

panic, but always find a

better way.

When you make money, don't

become excited about it. When you lose

money, don't feel bad about it; you will

make it back again. The important thing is

to follow good principles for managing

your money and your life. With the law ofbalance, you can manage everything. The I

Chingcan bring about a balanced view that

can be applied to all aspects of daily life.

Being overly positive will lead to

negativity, and being overly negative will

lead to self-destruct ion. Similarly, being

too rich will lead to less enjoyment, and

being overly powerful leads to darkness.

Many of you have consulted the I

Ching. When your question is clear, you

receive a clear answer. If you understand

that the conscious mind is energy, you

realize that your question is the projection

of your conscious energy. The answer

comes from the subconscious mind, which

is deeper and broader than the conscious

mind. Both conscious and subconscious

energy are contained in your mind.

The I Ching teaches three things:

The law of change, the unchanging truth,

and how to use simplicity to govern

complexity. You may ask

what simplicity means. The

ancient sages thought the

universe, nature and

human society were so

vast that you had to

find something as

simple as one of your

fingers to control them.

Using one principle or

thing to govern many iscalled simplicity. Such

oneness can govern yin and

yang, and yin and yang can

govern the multiple forms, which are

all stages of strongeryang, lesseryin,

strongeryin and lesseryang. The four

stages develop into the eight hexagrams,

which are also called the Eight Great

Manifestations. These can be developedfurther, but their endless development

basically has just two keys: 0 and 1.

Studying the I Chingcan produce an

understanding of all types of human

activity, including the binary system used

in computer languages.

When you are confused or don't

know what to do, it is because of the

obstacles created by your own thought.

The more you are able to control your

thoughts and your mind, the better able you

are to affect a situation. When you can

quiet your mind, you are able to perceive a

situation more clearly, and the situation

becomes easier to control.

All matters have two possibilities;

one is positive, one is negative. When you

are positive, you are happy to be a hero or

the winner. If something is negative,

however, are you ready for it? If you

always look for the positive aspect

of any negative situation, you

will make yourself

undefeatable. You will no

longer encounter failure,

because you have

changed the situation

by changing your

attitude. If you fail, so

what? You can be

trimmed like branches of

a tree, but your root isunharmed. This state of

mind is called staying with

the simple essence.

Many times I tell my friends to

simplify their minds, their emotion, their

thoughts and their relationships. I don't

need to know what specific situation they

face, however, to know that they need to

simplify themselves, especially those whoare never satisfied with one man or one

woman. At different stages of life people

enjoy different things. It is not a matter of

how many; it is a matter of whether they

can enjoy themselves without harming

others.

Internals and Externals

of Individual Life(From The Foundation of a Happy Life by Hua-Ching Ni)

When you open the windows of your home,

the light of the sun and moon enters.

There are also windows and doors

that let light into your mind.

This allows your mind to become bright

and see many things.

The world around you may be rushing about,but do not allow your mind to be buried

and scattered.

Let your hands be hard at work,

but do not allow your mind to be busy.

If you are always in a hurry,

you may make a mistake.

When your mind is picky,

everything and everyone is wrong.

Your mind should be as bright as a clear sky.

Your wisdom should be deep like jade

buried in the ground, or a pearl

at the bottom of the ocean.

If you have a crystal clear mind,

you do not need to boast.

Great people who have great minds

are not offended by trivial matters.

A person with consideration and tolerance

has found freedom and is not easily offended.

Possession, desire, and random activities belong

to the false mind that is externally conditioned.

Once the false mind is rendered inactive,

the true mind appears.

Pride and arrogance are unhealthy emotions

that need to be subdued.

When this happens, the mind can experience

healthy emotions without attachment.

When you are angry, your mind fumes.

It suffocates the light.

When you are calm, your mind is clear.

Its light illuminates.

The one who faces a situation usually doesn't see it;

only the bystander has a clear picture.

Do not let situations confuse you;

you can be objective and effective if your mindremains uninvolved in circumstances.

In your mind, you should remember that

there are still books which you have not read

and achievements that you have not yet attained.

In your mind, you should never harbor personal secrets

such as conspiracy, schemes, mischief,

or immoral thoughts that cannot be revealed

to your friends or colleagues.In this way, you will keep your mind clear,

free, and motivated.

Your mind should be like a cloud, enjoying its freedom

while flying through a mountain valley.

The moon hangs like a mirror high in the sky.

Its light reflects across the earth beneath it.

Moonlight does not discriminate

between beautiful and ordinary people.

It lights the way for one and all.

Your mind should also reflect evenly on all it sees.

Extend your heart

to situations beyond your personal life.

Your mind should remain aware of your physical health.

When a utensil is full, it breaks.

Do not over-occupy your mind with worldly things.
