Professor taught us to read chi, both personal chi and the chi of the environment. He helped us to elevate our yin/yang vision—the ability to “see through” something to its basic nature—to see the root of a chi imbalance, the truth of a child’s expression of fear, or the story that unfolds from a floor plan.
There are many ways to read chi, and Professor was a master of many including Nine Star Ki, Bazi, and Flying Stars. Many have asked me why Professor did not teach these methods. I cannot answer for Professor, but I can tell you what he did say about developing the talent of “seeing through.”
“When you look and learn to read the chi immediately, you have a tool that is not complicated. You don’t need a book to know what is up. You will never be caught off guard. You will approach the situation exactly as it is, and the message will come through automatically.”
I have found this to be true and the messages to be precise. After Professor left this human realm, I read the following. Professor loved science. I love science, and I hope Professor is smiling.
In an experiment with experts who read jurors for a living, scientists found the following. When these professionals see into and through a juror’s heart and mind, the part of their brain that lights up is the same part of the brain that lights up when one is experiencing compassion. It seems that when we look with our yin/yang eyes, we are exercising the part of our brain that is at work when we are compassionate.
Seeing “through” develops the muscle of compassion. I think Professor was, in his masterful way, teaching us more than we could have imagined.
With Immense Gratitude for H. H. Grandmaster Professor Lin Yun
