Knowledge Of The Supreme Ultimate

While preparing for a conference where I would be teaching T’ai Chi Chih, I reviewed my checklist of things I would need to take. I added Good Karma Publishing catalogs to the list. As I did I thought, “This will help Good Karma.” Of course this is true; however, it’s not the reason to share the catalog. The real person it will help is the student who receives a catalog and then order materials to learn about Justin Stone’s teachings. In that moment, my world went from small to very large: so many students, friends and relatives are waiting to receive Knowledge of the Supreme Ultimate.

As long as we think in small ways, we can never fully understand the importance of Justin’s teachings. He trusted that we would so appreciate what he shared that we would in turn share it with others. How widely and how often we share Justin’s teachings depends on how important we know them to be. The best way to know is through personal experience of their impact. Another useful way is through our students’ experiences. As we well know, these usually start at the first lesson.

Justin said in his small booklet Evolution Through Chi that T’ai Chi Chih is like Zen in that it doesn’t depend on words. For this reason, his DVDs are so very necessary. As we practice with them, we experience learning from the master. Things Justin conveys in his DVDs carry the purity of his Knowing of the Supreme Ultimate, and these are priceless. This understanding may in turn become ours, and our knowing may begin to grow.

So many times, a student who has worked with Justin’s materials says, “Justin says to loosen the wrists, or turn from the waist.” I smile and agree, knowing that what I have said many times has finally taken hold. No matter how well we know it, Justin knows it best, because he’s the “originator.” What we have known in part now becomes whole and we can feel it with our whole being.

We can appreciate a gift most when we share it. Remember the Joy Thru Movement we’ve experienced? Others are waiting to treasure it too. Through Justin’s gifts we learn to love and share the Chi.
