This practice is a reflection of a universal process at the heart of our world. I recall reading that a great Zen sage, when asked what his initial impression was immediately upon experiencing “satori”, or Great Awakening, said, “embarrassment”, “for not having seen It before”. You might ponder your own inner awakening Sage. No doubt, you’ve had strings of these existential openings, “I can’t believe I didn’t see it”  Zen is like a prototype of this process of opening. Life is a process of dumbing down, fixating, in all kinds of little and big, long and short. ways, often until a threshold is reached, and “bang”, there IT is, the spectacles you are insanely seeking for, are right on your own nose. One of the greatest understandings of our modern era, is how  we incorporate past trauma, into our present experience, blocking the direct see-ing-knowing of the Real

So ,  the “spectacles ” that are “discovered” in Original Perfection Tai Chi is the “light of consciousness”, that shines equally and inescapably in every moment of experience. Reading this as words doesn’t do it. The “hit”, is a quite a game-changer. It can spawn whole new “paradigms”, personal and collective, and in the long run, is a real “childhood’s end”. That’s the “power of new”. One great spiritual teacher said that being in the awakened state, was like experiencing a continuous succession of infinities.The bad news is that our buffers to that “natural condition” of openness to the All-That-Is are pervasive, complex, and very very old. The great, great news, is that the “pointers”, the directions, and the “Great Help” back to that Original Effulgence, have never been more clear , or more available. The Great Awakening that was the opportunity and capacity of a very very small number of us, is about going viral. Original Perfection Tai Chi is a contribution to that end.                Rick Campion
