Of course the 6 harmonies are one - they are breaking down the action of opening and closing the mind/body in harmony into 6 different aspects. 'Whole body is one fist" is a common saying in internal martial arts. That's what it means - opening and closing the whole body in harmony, as one, like opening and closing a fist. Just saying 'the 6 are 1' on its own without explanation isn't helpful to anybody. Unless you just want to be obscure so people have to pander to your greatness by asking you questions and engaging with you. That gets boring very quickly for other people who can see what you're doing.
I really liked Joey's comments at around 49:00 where he talks about teachers assimilating or otherwise co-opting words and terminologies that they don't have clue about. They can say the words, but have no experiential understanding of what the words connote

GrahamB wrote:The six harmonies do not belong to Taijiquan. They are older, they come from Xin Yi, but could have existed way before. Who knows. They are not unique to Taijiquan, that's simply wrong. Again.
GrahamB wrote:Yes, but they were in Xin Yi first, which is where Taijiquan got them from. That's the point.
