I am working on a book with the premise of applying the Ving Tsun way of thinking to the topic of metaphysics, so far I have written about 2000 words, not a lot but it's a start. I ask all of my friends and students to send me your positive energy and encouragement so that I can finish this project on or before 11.13.10.

Thank you

-Sifu

    "The possession of Knowledge, unless accompanied by a
    manifestation and expression in Action, is like the
    hoarding of precious metals-a vain and foolish thing.
    Knowledge, like wealth, is intended for Use. The Law of
    Use is Universal, and he who violates it suffers by
    reason of his conflict with natural forces."--The Kybalion.

• "Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact." -- William James
  

   

• "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." -- Albert Einstein

   

• "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." -- Albert Einstein

   

• "There is only one great adventure and that is inwards towards the self." -- Henry Miller

   

• "We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world." -- Buddha

   

• "What we think, we become." -- Buddha

   

• "Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned." -- Buddha

   

• "As a man is, so he sees." -- William Blake

   

• "There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so." -- William Shakespeare

   

• "There is no reality except the one contained within us. That is why so many people live such an unreal life. They take the images outside of them for reality and never allow the world within to assert itself." -- Herman Hesse

   

• "The Way is near, but men seek it afar. It is in easy things, but men seek for it in difficult things." -- Mencius

• "Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." -- Carl Gustav Jung

   

• "Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same. Every wonderful sight will vanish; every sweet word will fade, But do not be disheartened, The source they come from is eternal, growing, Branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep? The source is within you And this whole world is springing up from it." -- Rumi

   

• "All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force … We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter." -- Max Planck

1. Consciousness is the formless, invisible field of energy of infinite dimension and potentiality, the substrate of all existence, independent of time, space, or location, of which it is independent yet all inclusive and all present.
2. Because the field of consciousness encompasses all existence beyond all limitation, dimension, or time, it registers all events, no matter how seemingly miniscule, such as even a fleeting thought.
3. Because the registration of all events occurs outside of time and place, they are timelessly accessible due to the unique qualities inherent to the energy field of consciousness itself.
4. Consciousness is the irreducible substrate of the human capacity to know or experience, to perceive or witness, and it is the essence of the capacity for awareness itself.
5. The field of consciousness exists independently of mankind yet is included within it.  It is the irreducible substrate, the Absolute, in comparison to which all that exists is relative.
6. Consciousness represents a field of infinite power and potential, out of which the manifest universe as Creation arises as a continuous, ongoing process.
7. The entire universe, both known and unknown, exists independently of human description and is essentially one unified, total field within which are variable levels of vibrational frequencies that appear as the observable universe.  As in the physical domain, the higher frequency of the vibrational energy, the greater the power.
8. The universal, all-encompassing vibrational field of energy is descriptively omnipresent and is therefore omniscient and all-powerful (omnipotent).  The presence of the field of consciousness is known by all sentient beings as the subjective awareness of existence itself.  Thus, the awareness of the presence of consciousness as the substrate of existence is the primordial subjective reality underlying all possible human experience.
9. The levels of consciousness are identifiable by use of a simple quality of consciousness itself, and the omniscience of consciousness recognizes and responds to that which has existence and is true by virtue of the fact of that existence.  Thus, consciousness, like a mirror, impersonally reflects actuality, which is unchanged and unaffected by that process.  Consciousness, therefore, does not “do” anything, but, similar to gravity, it provides the context out of which potentiality actualizes from formless to form, from nonexperienced to experienced.
10. Comparable to the laws of the conservation of energy or conservation of matter, the law of the conservation of life prevails.  Life itself is not capable of being destroyed buy can only change form by shifting to a different frequency range (in human experience, the “etheric,” the “spiritual,” and other energy realms described throughout time).
11. Because all that exists represents a level of energy vibration, a scale of consciousness can be constructed that is internally consistent and of pragmatic value.  A logarithmic scale of consciousness from 1 to 1,000, which starts at number “1” as the existence of life itself and continues to 1,000 (the highest level of consciousness ever reached by mankind), is sufficient to include all possible frequency ranges of human consciousness.  Such a scale can be demonstrated to be highly informative and of great practical as well as theoretical value in understanding mankind, the question of divinity, and the universe.
12. Consciousness research is the only science available to mankind at the present time that enables investigation of the relative energy levels of both linear and nonlinear paradigms, their domains, and the realities that are beyond time, location, or dimension and that exist as both identifiably objective as well as subjective.

Changeless Truth

Divine Science is based on the changeless truth that God constitutes the nature of all being and that God fills the invisible and visible realms of existence. This truth has never changed. All truth is as available to humanity now just as it was available to Moses, Elijah and Jesus. Nothing a person does or fails to do will ever separate him or her from the Source out of which we are created. Paul reminds us, "in God we live, and move and have our being." One of the founders of Divine Science writes that "true prayer is not begging for more wisdom, more supply, or more good. Infinite, all-embracing Being cannot give us more than Itself. In sharing Itself with us It has given us all that we can possibly need. Our part is to accept." Divine Science teaches that the fullness of Spirit is forever pouring Itself through the mind of man, limited only by the way a person thinks and feels about life in general and about certain conditions and situations in particular. Therefore, all change begins as an activity in mind and through the law of cause and effect mind manifests as a personal experience.

The physical evidence of any teaching lies not in the authority or history of an organization, but in the ability of an individual to prove the teaching. And so it is that Divine Science is recognized as a teaching which is rooted not in hierarchy but in the demonstration of the principles of Divine Science through a person's life and works.

  “I have no doubt that the evolutionary process—from the big bang to the present moment—is not merely a random, meaningless event. If one stands back and takes a good, hard look at the entire sweep of the process, all the way from its earliest beginnings, one can see undeniable direction and even, I dare say, purpose in its majestic unfolding. But who or what initiated that process? What energy or intelligence made the choice to take that first miraculous leap from formlessness to form, from nothing whatsoever to energy and light to matter to life to consciousness to self-reflective awareness? Such an audacious move, that instantaneous leap from nothing to the beginning of everything, could only have been made by a force that was nothing less than Godlike. That impulse, that evolutionary impulse, is what I call God. That same impulse is not separate from the most important part of each and every one of us, from our uniquely human drive to create and innovate and, most significantly, from our will to consciously evolve.” – Andrew Cohen
