The Six Doors are the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind. If these doors are not guarded, one’s soul will wander in and out through them upon death and fall into the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. Why? The eyes, ears, nose and tongue are doors leading to rebirth as four kinds of animals, and are also known as four paths of birth.

If one desires for sights excessively, his soul will leave the body through the eyes upon death. He is destined to be born again as birds for others to watch and enjoy. If one listens to heresies excessively, his soul will leave the body through the ears. He is destined to be born again as domesticated animals for others to order. If one desires for aroma excessively, his soul will leave the body through the nose. He is destined to be born again as insects to taste all filth and bad odours and will die of sucking and biting their victims. If one likes to slander others or criticize others, his soul will leave the body through the mouth. He is destined to be born again as aquatic lives. This is because the mouth is symbolized by “kan” in the trigrams, which also symbolize water or scales.

For those who practise heresies, do not practise filial devotion, and perform wicked deeds, they will be punished in future lives. This is the eternal law of karma. For those few who practise their virtues and perform good deeds but are not meant to encounter Tao of Heaven during their life times, they will be rewarded in their future lives by being born in rich, powerful, or influential families, enjoying wealth, power or fame. Once their rewards are exhausted, their souls still return to the Underworld. These are the six paths in the cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

Realizing the consequences of the six paths, Lao Tze taught others to constantly guarding these six doors to avoid souls passing through them. The five external doors – the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body – are relatively easy to guard; however, the internal door – the mind – is difficult to guard. The mind, resides in the spleen, is called “Yin-shen” (the ‘yin’ spiritual image). To tackle this, Taoism devised a dumb technique: concentrating one’s mind at the Right Portal constantly. This method let the True Fire of old “yang” (aureole) refine “Yin-shen”. If one practises this technique continuously as if he is retarded or slow, he can attain a calm mind and have clear wisdom after a hundred days. With prolonged practice, one will act according to his True Nature and need not guard his Six Doors anymore.

My Heavenly Master JiGong said, “If you wish to become a Carefree Immortal and a Fully Enlightened Being, you must cultivate and practise Tao with one-mindedness, not repeating the same mistakes, humble the mind and subdue arrogance, treat people with gentle words and a cheerful face, and be responsible to oneself and Heaven. After carrying oneself across the bitter sea of life, one should help carry others across; having oneself enlightened, one must guide and enlighten others; having oneself corrected, one must help others to correct themselves.”

T.A Chew was told that in order to avoid the six paths of reincarnation, he has to be initiated with Tao of Heaven and practise it with one-mindedness. Upon initiation, he realized that he could understand many things easily especially those related to spiritual practice. Website: http://www.white-sun.com

Alot of people who had after hip replacement used in their hip cup replacement operations are finding that there are negative effects that far surpass the regular expectations for recuperation. These poor people are feeling a lot of supplemental pain for lengthier periods of time, expecting revision surgical operations and increased medical costs, and losing income by not being able to work at their official jobs. Although Zimmer Holdings, Inc. is demanding that that their hip cup implant could never be faulty and say it is not their fault for the surgical failures, numerous implant recipients are filing cases against them and encountering settlements.

During the month of October, 2008 Zimmer announced that it had set aside $47.5 million to pay for claims that had been filed against them. Many physicians are not positive that the hip implant is not the problem as the company has publicly stated. In Point Of Fact, when Zimmer extended on-line training to MD’s in order to teach them what was supposedly more accurate techniques for executing the implant surgical procedure, roughly 50% of the MD’s refused to take part. Thus, the entire state of affairs proceeds to be irritating for everyone participating, but none more than the hundreds of people who are looking forward to revision operation due to problems with their implant not staying secure in the socket.

These hurt unfortunate people definitely merit some aid and restitution which obviously is why product liability attorneys are suggesting and telling them to file lawsuits. zimmer hip replacement has been settling some of these claims, too. All The Same, even if the payoff they are being offered by all standards seems reasonable, in numerous cases unfortunate people are settling too quickly and with no clause put in place for on-going issues if they return. Without waiting to find out what an actual case is worth, individuals could find themselves paying thousands of dollars out of their own funds when further complications arise.

Anyone who thinks they do have a claim against Zimmer needs to start checking into it. If you imagine you might qualify, you can visit a lawyer to find out for sure. Look for a firm that covers nationally and focuses on processing litigation against faulty medical devices. This law firm has even set up a special division to do the research and process claims against Zimmer and obtain nice sized settlements for their clients.

If your orthopedic surgeon breaks the news that will have to have a revision surgery to resolve your Zimmer Durom hip replacement device, call an attorney immediately.

Who is the Best Coach For Achieving Your Goals?

A friend of mine was recently at a Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen workshop. They were promoting their Enlightened Millionaire Program. One of the topics he told me they covered was looking for a personal coach.

So let’s think of a few subjects where there could be personal coaches.

Basketball
Golf
Football
Talk show
Weightlifting
Confidence
Money
Sex
Real Estate Investor

Now what I found interesting was what my friend said everybody answered for some of the above. They thought the best basketball coach would be Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods for Golf , Joe Montana for football, Weightlifting a lot would like Arnold Schwarzenegger to be their personal trainer, on confidence Anthony Robbins of NLP fame was picked, Money a lot said they would like Donald Trump or Bill Gates, Sex and they would answer Ron Jeremy, Real Estate a lot answered Robert Kiyosaki of the Rich Dad Poor Dad fame.

The logic here might seem great. If you wish to be good at a particular skill than find somebody heavily well known as being great at that talent or skill. Sometimes though that is not exactly the case.

My friend went on about how he then thought of the Green Bay Packers as they had won two superbowls. The unexpected had happened their beloved coach Vince Lombardi decided that coaching the Green Bay Packers was no longer what he wanted to do. The Green Bay Packers actually tested two coaches and they tried the above after the two other coaches failed. The Packers took up Bart Starr their successful quarterback as their new coach. He is a great quarterback but didn’t do as well as a coach.

A lot of people do not realize playing skills and coaching skills are two different mediums. Vince Lombardi was never a great football player but is an incredible coach.

If I wanted a Real Estate Investing coach a lot of people would pick Robert Kiyosaki. Well who were his mentors? Where did he learn about houses and real estate? Was he self taught? Or did he learn from somebody else. It turns out Robert Kiyosaki learned a lot from John Burley about Real Estate investing. John Burley also teaches and coaches others and a lot of his students have success.

Michael Jordan the famous basketball player has actually also been a coach. Look at the results of him coaching basketball teams. He is one of the most incredible basketball players but his coaching skills are not even close to his playing skills.

The Wizards the Washington team he coach have floundered under Jordan’s leadership. They were 110-179 after Jordan began calling the shots and had left the team. Not exactly top performance. The Wizards soon gave him the boot as a coach.

Now let us take the famous Tiger Woods. He turned heads when he started winning so much at golf. Than one day he decided to fire Butch Harmon. Tiger Woods has not won a major tournament since the 2002 U.S. Open. That was the same year he stopped having Butch Harmon as his coach. “Tiger Woods is not playing well, he is not working on the right things in his golf swing although obviously Tiger thinks he is,” Harmon told a reporter for a media writer at Sky Sports. Woods received a two-over-par 72 in his first round at the U.S. Open. Woods is not the same golfer who won 7-of-11 majors beginning with the 1999 PGA Championship, and he’s quick to admit it. How much credit do you think Butch Harmon deserves here? Some top coaches are saying they see problems in his swing and think that because Tiger doesn’t have Butch around is a big reason for it.

So remember when you are looking for a coach. The best thing to look at is the results of the students. Who has the top students? That is who your coach should be.

Robert Torrey is a personal development relationship instructor and a coach. He does workshops that teach men how to meet women successfully in nightclubs and everywhere else with guaranteed results. He can be reached at www.attractanddate.com

We all know that to be a careful driver on the highways, we need always to anticipate. When we see brake lights ahead, we anticipate some traffic problem and slow down. If we come to an intersection we look ahead to see if anyone is entering it before us. In like manner, to be an effective speaker we need to anticipate.

• We need to anticipate with our notes. Always be a sentence or thought ahead so that you can look at notes as you are finishing a thought and thus do not have to pause to find your place in your notes.

• Anticipate the response of the audience. Be prepared to pause for laughter or for the audience to take a moment to assimilate an important thought. Look for the smile or the pondering look so that you will know to stop for a moment.

• Anticipate questions the audience may ask. Seek to think ahead about the types of questions which might be asked based on the content of your presentation. Consider any current issue that might relate to your topic that could create questions for you. If you are speaking on international travel, for example, be prepared for questions on SARS.

• Anticipate the unexpected. Think about things that might go wrong and prepare for them. Know where the light switches and electrical outlets are. Know who is in charge of the public address system. Sometimes you may need to know how to turn off the music that is wafting through the hotel sound system before you speak.

• Anticipate the emotional atmosphere based on the content of your speech. If you are about to share a touching story, you may want to slow down your rate of speech or use a softer tone of voice. If you are moving to an exciting narrative, you will probably seek to speed up the rate and incorporate more volume.

Anticipation will help you maintain a confident and competent manner in speaking. Few variables will create hesitancy or indecision in your speaking manner because you have considered contingencies ahead of time and are ready for them.

One of the most notable blocks we all share is the way we have been trained to attach to the stories of our lives to define us and to explain why we have the problems we have.

Have you ever found yourself able to thoroughly explain the reason why you have a problem in terms of your personal history but not be able to be free of the problem? It can be disheartening to discover that freedom cannot be found in the reasoned explanation of our personal history.

I wonder if this form of thinking was so prevalent before Freud and the subsequent development of psychology and therapy? Apparently we have missed something if successful explanation doesn’t yield freedom.

My offering to you for your contemplation is to look elsewhere for your freedom from fear, stress, and distress. Look to your view of life — your most influential belief about the nature of life and your place in it, and to your intention for your life — your deepest abiding intention that effects every choice you make. These three elements determine the contents of your life’s operating manual.

Before we begin a journey, we need to understand where we are and what our intention is. It is important to recognize that all beings want to have happiness and avoid suffering, and that all beings are subject to birth and death, regardless of differences in their personal history.

Contemplating and appreciating this simple fact can reduce our sense of fear and alienation as we see that we are essentially the same and are in the same boat. Having these simple insights as our background awareness can prevent us from getting too absorbed in melodrama in our daily life as if our daily life was happening in isolation, and as if it was eternal.

Instead, with this background awareness, our struggles and disappointments remind us that our struggles are not uniquely ours, but that we are experiencing the shared struggles of embodiment with all beings. This awareness reduces anxiety because we don’t so easily take disappointments personally. We see them as part of the human experience, not as our own unique flaw.

Are there habitual ways in which you have considered yourself uniquely flawed? What happens if you reinterpret these “flaws” as just part of the human experience shared by everyone, and KNOWN by everyone — that is, not unique and not hidden, or requiring hiding.

These “flaws” don’t diminish your value, or your right to exist, or your right to full self-appreciation. They don’t diminish the friendliness of the universe towards you, or your rightful access to abundance either.

I invite you to take an inventory of the things that are holding you back. Evaluate to what degree these things seem “big” in your life because you have in your background awareness the belief that your are uniquely flawed and must hide your flaws. Release that belief, or any belief that isolates you from the awareness that you are participating in a shared human experience that is fragile and temporary.

Experience how having a background awareness of shared experience, with all its fragility and temporariness fully taken to heart, changes your state and possibly your priorities. Add to this a respectful new self-conception that includes respect for everyone else and a desire for all to be free from suffering and to realize self-love. Practicing these attitudes will open the floodgates of happiness in your life.

If you go to any major gym or health club like 24 Hour Fitness, Bally’s, the YMCA, or even Gold’s Gym, you are going to see many elliptical exercise machines all over the gym. Elliptical fitness machines are quickly becoming the hottest trend in fitness today. Whether it’s at the gym or in the home, these machines are dominating the fitness industry today. It’s no wonder why either, elliptical fitness machines give you a great cardiovascular workout along with toning your muscles and providing several other conditioning exercises.

While these elliptical fitness machines can be found in every gym and health club in the country, there are many people who would rather work out in the privacy of their own homes instead. With such a wide variety of ellipticals on the market, the question comes down to trying to decide which one to purchase? How do you sort out the good ones from the not so good ones? After all, you want to get the best elliptical machine for your money, but you also want the best fitness workout and equipment reliability.

Due to the fact that specifications can vary widely between machines, as well as all the different price points, the decision on which fitness machine to purchase can be extremely confusing and difficult. Although price is a very important consideration, there are as many expensive elliptical machines that perform poorly as there are ones that work very well. The same can be said for the less expensive versions as well. Before you go out and purchase an elliptical fitness machine it would be wise to gain a basic knowledge of what to look for.

One of the better ways of educating yourself on ellipticals is to read many of the consumer reports in various fitness magazines. Magazines like Fitness Today always include reviews of the many different fitness and exercise machines on the market today. Another good way to get advice and recommendations is to simply ask for the opinions from others who use them at the local gym or fitness center. People love to give their opinions on everything in life and fitness is no different. Also, many health and fitness websites will have good reviews on fitness equipment posted by the various readers. You can find literally hundreds of these different websites by doing a simple search on the Internet.

It would be very helpful and wise to do your own research on elliptical fitness machines. Taking the advice of a salesman at the local fitness store may not be the best way to go. You may get some great advice and help, but then again you may not. By doing your own research you can discover what machine meets your particular requirements. You’ll also find all types of different prices online that may include a real bargain on the elliptical fitness machine you really want.

All of the different consumer reports on ellipticals can be quite helpful when it comes time to making a decision on which fitness machine to buy and one that is in the price range you’re looking for. Even though professional fitness reviews can be more detailed about specifications, etc., consumer reviews can often provide much better information. They typically include a wide range of opinions and first hand experiences on which elliptical machines are the best. If you keep these tips in mind, you’ll find the perfect elliptical for your needs.
