Did you ever hear the term Kung Fu genius? I'm sure you have. Masters are actually looking for the right student who has the mental capacity to handle this type of Art. What does this mean? As I had spoke before about 9D, just like a computer that is bogged down by a very memory intensive 3D program, so is our minds. Learning further and further in depth causes the mind to start to suffer. The information is just too much. Chen Style, at least the version that I'm working on is very much like that.
I don't really think that it's off topic because in my opinion it is definitely one of the main obstacles in actually learning Tai Chi. The level required is very frustrating because the mind gets so bogged down. It is way more of a burden to the mind then it is hard on the body. I'm not talking about the transcendental part either. That is a different topic. What I am talking about is beyond 3D movement or more appropriately Beyond 3 axis capabilities. So let's say that I started off with a negative attitude like itto. He believes that he himself has seen or acquired or believes it's irrelevant so how could he ever see any kind of progression? Especially because the people who he is learning from, do not have this level of capability.Bao wrote:
It's slightly OT, but dimensions can be an interesting topic. I have had a T'ai Chi teacher who is a professor in psychology and likes talking about such things. He mentioned different amounts of dimensions in psychology, maths and other disciplines. He thought that T'ai chi is a good art to combine with other kinds of practice like certain types of meditation that can bring your mind or spirit to other dimensions. T'ai chi would balance your mind so it doesn't get trapped there. ...He was very serious about this...
But IME most teachers don't care much about dimensions or geniuses and only believe in money...

I think you've covered it well in your article.
The only thing I'd stress is to ask questions, to have an inquisitive attitude, to seek beyond the external choreography. Ask questions not only of one's teachers but of oneself.
