Inner-considering is where you repeat over and over in your mind how you imagine others think, feel and act towards you. With righteous indignation the ego justifies its own negative emotions by attributing the cause to the seemingly unjust thoughts, feelings and actions of others.

Inner-considering is self-centredness, the opposite of real love. It may be based on greed, fear or selfishness or any minor negative aspects of those 3. To go over and over troubling events in your superficial mind (as psycho-analysts may foolishly ask you to do) will likely modify the memories to reinforce the ego justifying your righteously negative state.

And in such a condition unconscious people may continue their whole lifetime with this "inner-considering" growing ever stronger as the difficult, often truly negative, events of outer life press in upon them. This depletes their energy, disease takes hold, while death and dissolution awaits.

Only the Intelligence of the Deep Emotions can resolve the complex emotions. That is partially done for you each night, unconsciously in your dream sleep once the superficial mind is asleep, but it can be done more consciously and more completely through "Daily Dying".

"Daily Dying" is when from the deepest part of your meditation, towards the final stage with the Deep Emotions active, you gently replay your recent troubling situations. Seek to understand why others involved acted as they did, what were their inner motives. Then understand more clearly your own motives and decide what you need to do differently in future similar situations. Finally resolve to make those changes in yourself.

Daily Dying can be extended to turning this deepest state onto understanding your present life, then further onto where your choices are leading you in the near future.

Remember, remember, "understand others, change yourself".

理解他人，改变自己

区分“外部考量”和“内部考量”。

外部考量是指你试图理解他人的思想、情感、行为和需求;与他们内在世界的关系;然后以对他们的内在自我（灵魂）最有益的方式对待他们。这是真爱的基础。

内部考量则是指你不断在内心重复自己想象中别人对你的想法、感受和行为。自我通过义愤填膺的方式，将自己的负面情绪归因于他人表面上不公正的思想、情感和行为，从而为自己的情绪找到合理化的借口。

内部考量是自我中心的表现，是与真爱相对立的。它可能基于贪婪、恐惧或自私，或是它们所引起的负面情绪。反复思考那些令人困扰的事件（有些心理分析师可能会愚蠢地让你这样做），很可能会修改你的记忆，进一步合理化你那种义愤的负面状态。

在这种情况下，无意识的人可能会终其一生继续这种“内部考量”，随着外在生活中困难且往往确实负面的事件不断涌现，这种倾向只会愈发强烈。这会耗尽他们的能量，疾病随之而来，直至死亡和消亡。

只有深层情感的智慧才能解决复杂的情感问题。这在每晚的梦境中无意识地进行，当表层思维入睡时，梦境会帮助处理这些情感。但通过“每日死亡冥想”，这一过程可以更加有意识地、更彻底地完成。

“每日死亡冥想”是在你最深的冥想阶段，在深层情感活跃的过程中，温和地重现你最近的困扰情境。试图理解那些参与者为什么会那样行动，探寻他们的内在动机。然后更清楚地理解你自己的动机，并决定在未来类似情境中你需要做出哪些改变。最后，决心在自己身上做出这些改变。

“每日死亡冥想”可以延伸至运用这种最深层的状态来理解你当前的生活，然后进一步延伸到你的选择在不久的将来会把你引向何处。

记住，记住，“理解他人，改变自己”。

The initial curve is trained by pushing away from the front foot while neither bending nor straightening the back leg. If that continued you would reach the highest point when directly over the back foot which would then create a sharp corner down to the foot and forward.

So about halfway back the back leg begins to bend slightly, which changes the curveture (the radius decreases as the back leg shortens) and the body "levels off" to now reach its highest point about 2/3 the way back, from which it can descend on a curve (front leg neither bends nor straightens) towards the back foot on phase 2.

Most importantly, during that overlapping transition from phase 1 to 2, the Mind goes down to the back foot but the body does not go down (it "levels off").

The Mind, in the sense of Intention or Yi, going down to the back foot energises the nervous system in that direction which activates slightly the extensor muscles in the leg.

The activated extensor muscles, which would normally shorten to extend the leg under that activation, are instead stretched due to the simultaneous slight bending of the back leg.

That stretching of the extensor muscles creates the connection between the centre and the rear foot, which generates a very light elastic pressure in the back foot.

This achieves close to the 3rd timing as the Mind completes phase 2 of energising, activating and connecting, while the body is still in the process of transitioning from phase 1 to 2.

This is not new, it has always been taught, for example in the Push and Pull on the Hips where we use the 3 step process - the body from the central position (halfway back) moves straight back a little (on the level), the Mind goes ahead to the foot to establish the connection and light foot pressure, then the body descends gently towards the foot elastically absorbing the partners force.

The subtlety of how you first connect to the ground determines the potential quality of the elastic force which then rises through the body in a wave. Anything less than the 3rd timing will produce an unrefined, hard connection to the ground and resulting rough force rising (remember the Body's Intelligence naturally uses the most advanced 3rd timing).

Further, something equivalent takes place at the transition from phase 2 to 3, and from phase 3 to 4.

For the past 7 or 8 years I have been concentrating on teaching the 3rd level. Without the basic smoothness and accuracy, that comes from practicing regularly each of the 8 tuishou patterns every class, students have no practical basis to even begin to learn what we teach on the 3rd level. It is also difficult for others who have to train with them in the seminars.

So please note, do not bring any of your students to my seminars who have not been training the 8 basic fixed pattern tuishou regularly (twice per week minimum) for at least a year (they will have completed the Short Form and 8 basic tuishou by the end of their first 6 months, if you have been teaching them correctly).

Aim to gradually clarify what parts of you are associated with the outer self and what with the Inner Self. The body is clearly the outer self and can never be anything more.

Practices such as Sufi, Yogic or religious austerieties, where the physical-etheric system is considered the enemy, make the separation clear. They serve well for people who are ruled by, and seek to escape, their bodies appetites.

More refined Daoist practices benefit both the outer self and the Inner Self so the separation is not made in such an obvious manner but must be done through your own intelligent understanding. These serve well for people who are ruled by, and seek to escape, their body's brain consciousness.

The lower sublevels of the etheric self are directly under the influence of the physical desires which are based on the body's appetites and survival instinct, then multiplied by the ego. Greed, fear and selfishness are the major negative emotions, being, when under pressure, to resist, escape or disconnect.

Greed, fear and selfishness can be countered or transformed by the positive emotions of giving, receiving and sharing. When practiced sincerely these will purify the more refined higher sublevels of the etheric self which will then support the growth of the Deep Emotions.

Respect, gratitude and humility stand above those again as higher positive emotions, which will in turn support the growth of the Deep Mental.

Passing the 2nd Initiation (birth of the soul) consolidates, within the deep emotional level, the results of your efforts from this life. Those will then be carried over to future lives and if further raised to approach or pass the 3rd initiation will carry you out of the rounds of lives and deaths.

My future seminars are designed for those who have followed with enough energy and sincerity to have passed the 2nd Initiation – or are approaching it in the case of younger students.

To not reach this consolidation point of the 2nd Initiation means the physical-etheric efforts from this life will be essentially lost. That leads to repeated lives, and potentially worse, the pitiable state of an 'earth remainer' where almost all hope is lost as well.

Be aware, if you have not reached this point after 15 to 20 years you will not reach it in another 15 to 20 years by continuing in the same way – you must change something, intensify your practice and refine your motives. Life is short, soon the outer self will be gone and all that will remain is the results of the time and effort you have given to your Inner Self during your life.

The last is the most dangerous – more people have gone wildly astray by listening to inner guidence than from any other internal practice. Abdullah said, "you must check and double check the inner guidance". Ni HuaChing said, "the Mind can conceive (create) as well as perceive". Mouniji said,"people's truths may be just creations of their own Minds".

When you ask genuine questions it exposes your misunderstandings, misinterpretations and imaginary inner directions. I can then see and correct them for you where needed, otherwise you will likely drift off the central path.

If you don't ask questions I can't help you with your inevitable mis-interpretations, and I can't add the details that relate to your personal training. As a guideline, ask a question every 1 to 3 months.

Low-level practices are created by the minds of humans, have no inner support, mislead their students and die away in a generation or two.

Many of my students have mixed high-level practices passed on from above, with practices from low-level human sources. For example qigong and similar movement arts arising from the last 50 years are mostly lacking any internal source. Most modern Hatha Yoga has lost connection to its original source. Also lacking are practices arising from new age body-work, healing and emotional therapy systems, usually incorporating expensive teacher training courses. If you do chose to use those for your worldly income, at least have the intelligent discrimination not to mix them with teachings from above.

Respect the high source of what is taught, feel gratitude for what flows down from that source and have some humility in not imagining that you can 'improve' it by mixing in low-level ideas.

Only if you teach with respect, gratitude and humility towards the source of what you are teaching, will you be supported from above. Then students will be guided to you and your school will flourish.

My first 21 years was spent mostly on the 1st line – training, learning, changing myself – and partly on the 2nd line. In that period I taught freely to all.

My next 21 years was spent mostly on the 2nd line teaching others, partly on the 3rd. My help was focussed on those who concentrated on practising what was passed on from my teachers.

My work now is on the 3rd line – to help anchor the teaching forces on Earth. My help is focussed on students, and their senior students, who transmit most accurately and sincerely the methods flowing through me from above.

revise a piece of taijiform (5–10 mins)
8 basic tuishou, 3–5 mins each (25–40 mins)
Issuing application (5–10 mins)
quickfist optional
meditation (10–20 mins) in the sequence as given up to sending out the light, but more if there's time (if no easy place to sit, then do standing Lifting & Sinking exercise).

The past 10 years we have concentrated on the 3rd level. Without the basic smoothness and accuracy that comes from practising all 8 tuishou patterns regularly every class, students have no practical basis to learn the 3rd level.

To counter those 2:
1. ensure all students train twice or more per week
2. no teacher trainings, no private classes (both contain an impure motive)
3. develop respect, gratitude, and humility towards other practioners, teachers and the Divine.
(These are not rules, they are clear advice if you want your teaching to help the Inner Self of the students.)

A new students superficial mind is highly active while their deepmind is undeveloped and passive. Their deepmind wants to train every minute of the day – it knows life is short, there is much to be done, it recognises and values having met a true teaching.

The superficial mind is based in outer life. It hopes the training will benefit that outer life. It is only prepared to make a small effort for that benefit. Of the 8 free hours, 7 days per week, the superficial mind typically fights to not give even one hour.

When you ask students to train twice or more per week you support their deepmind (their Inner Self) which will strengthen with time as a result. When you allow them to train once a week you support their superficial mind, then their deepmind will weaken as a result.

Training only once a week also gives a false outer sense of inner achievement. The “spiritual ego” grows stronger without corresponding growth of the Inner Self. That will block the student in this life – a tragedy. Further, if they later teach, what they pass on will work against the true teaching from above – a travesty.

Hoping to gain more, by doing less and paying more in private is an impure motive and a false hope.

Teaching in order to make money, either through teacher trainings or private classes is also an impure motive. Impure motives will divert the results of your practice to the ego.

1. give respect to the Inner Self of others (2nd energy level)
2. feel gratitude for the inner teachings and those involved in passing it down (3rd energy level)
3. experience humility in the face of the Spirit (4th energy level and beyond)

(Note: the ego can be recognised by the opposite:
1. demands outward show of respect from others
2. takes what it has been given and changes it to suit itself
3. believes it knows and understands all which has been passed down from above 

It takes sustained effort and sincerity to even reach that level. Of my students who have come regularly for 15 years or more, those who have most sincerely followed the teaching will have achieved it.

Then it's another 7–15 years for each of the 3 sublevels between the 2nd and the 3rd initiation. If your effort falters or the outer self mistakenly believes itself as the one evolving spiritually, it will block the further growth of your Soul.

After the first of the 3 sublevels between the 2nd and 3rd initiation, typically after 20 years from first beginning, the Soul is like a small child. The outer self meanwhile imagines itself very knowledgeable and can easily interfere in further growth.

The middle stage between the 2nd and 3rd initiation, around 20–30 years, is the development of the Soul from young child to young adolescent. The Soul begins to assert itself in your outer life, but is still in a vulnerable state.

In the final of the 3 stages, the Soul begins to take care of its own growth, like a child growing from 14–21 years old. Only gross interference by the outer self, typically spiritual pride or abuse of power, can stop the inner growth at that stage.

That final stage was my level when I came to europe 30 years ago. A small number of my most senior students, those who sincerely trusted and practised what was past on, are approaching or in that stage now.

On the next level deeper are the aspects that arise in interacting with those closely connected to you, such as parents, children, partners and close friends. They also arise when you are under pressure. Use daily dying to review pressured reactions and significant dreams, then work to change those aspects with self-suggestion, mantras, and by substituting the opposite behaviour when similar situations reoccur. Respect others rather than fear them.

The deepest layer of the ego manifests as resistance to inner work.These aspects can block your progress by absorbing your energy weakening your will to go on, or by causing you to doubt the truth of the teachings or the personal corrections from the teacher, giving rise to spiritual pride. Daily dying, mantras, asking for help from inner or outer teacher, will all help to change these deepest aspects. Be grateful for what you receive from above, rather than greedily taking or ungratefully denying that help.

Remember, ultimately inner growth is managed from the Spirit. Cultivate humility in the face of that truth, rather than self-centred pride.

Your Spirit manifests as the Spiritual Triad on the 3rd, 4th & 5th energy levels, That is your individual expression of the 3 Forces of the Sun. (1st Force on 3rd energy level, 2nd Force on 4th, 3rd Force on 5th).

Humans live over the 3 lower worlds of the Deep Mind. Undeveloped people are centred in the Physical-Etheric Being, with only a limited life in the Deep Emotional realm and a very tenuous connection to the lowest aspect of the Spiritual Triad in the Deep Mental.

After the 2nd Initiation your centre of being moves to the 2nd energy level, the Deep Emotions. From then on the connection to the Spiritual Triad begins to evolve.

After the 3rd Initiation your centre of being moves to the 3rd energy level, the Deep Mental. The connection to the 1st aspect of the Spiritual Triad stabilises and the connection to the 2nd aspect on the 4th energy level begins to form.

After the 4th Initiation your centre of being moves to the 4th energy level. You are active in the 3rd, receptive in the 4th and intelligent being is on the 5th. You then live wholly within the Spiritual Triad, only distantly connected to Earthly life.

Over the past 30 years in Europe the practices were first taught in great detail. More recently methods of self-refinement have been given in the small talks. Now the main help available is the down flow of higher energy.

For some, detailed practices were all they could accept and they have now dropped away, as was necessary to allow the energy of the school to rise. The more recent work on self-refinement has been fully appreciated by some while others have only partially accepted it, diluting it with more external ideas and methods.

Supporting both the practices and self-refinement is the energy constantly flowing through from above. As we evolve our contact with these energies evolves. What is available from me now is much higher and stronger due to my 50 years of inner work under the close guidance of developed teachers. Your capacity to receive will also be much greater.

To benefit from the available energy requires a close personal connection. That is why genuine teachers have at most a few hundred close students, because it takes time and effort from both sides to build the connection. Those who have followed most sincerely the teachings passed down from the Old Teachers, will have established the inner connection. Those who have held tightly onto their 'own ideas', effectively lacking respect, gratitude and humility towards those Divine teachings, will have blocked that inner connection.

The connection grows when you are honest, sincere and open. It constricts when you try to hide your thoughts, feelings and actions – but we cannot hide on the inner levels. If you want to receive help you must ask. You need to give something from yourself in the questions, risk exposure, feel vulnerable. Your genuine questions will both help to build the connection and reveal the information I need to know to help you.
