Knowing & Doing are One: Everything connected

Knowing and Doing is One: Wang Mingyang

I have been talking so much, and didn’t get why people didn’t get it. I wished I was a quiet person, I looked how to be one. Recently, I came across Wang Mingyang’s knowing and doing are one. He talked about if we don’t do the thing as we know them, it means we don’t really know. To know is more than just concept. Our body and heart have also needed to know it is true what we think so.

I am so taken aback.

There are many things I have put there and talked about, I think they weren’t that effective for I didn’t give them blood, bone and soul, I believe they are true, experienced once or twice, but I didn’t stick to them and lived my old way, they were not the way I live my life so they aren’t true for me. Jack Canfield said this too, we have to be or live as we teach. I am not going to be ashamed myself for it has no use just do the right thing instead.

Faces on Path

I am creating this website, I know it is not according to anyone, just from my head, but I assume we all need this truth, but many don’t really realise, we have buried our light deep down by endless pressure.

Today I walked outside the path, met 5 people and no one was having a smiling or peaceful face. They carried worry, anger, and numbness or distance or disinterested. They are worried about work, family, the planet. Global warming is a threat.

Global warming

In Chinese Culture, it is believed that Liver is connected to the element ‘wood’. If the liver is not happy, we’ll experience anger which heats up the earth. Nowadays, we link the heat of the earth to how we have treated the planet. The Tudors cut down many forests to build ships. Meat farms, fossil fuels, electricity all have heated up the planet.

This threat to our planet is causing concern for everyone. They worry about their future and the future of their children or grandchildren. Indeed, it might cause anger in people. It’s a great concern.

The Chinese have believed for thousands of years that the universe is like a giant web. Everything is connected. One thing moves and the whole web moves. We can see this in the change of weather. In a century, the planet climate has increased by 1 degree. That’s not much in the large scale. But with that comes the cost of unpredictable weather, more destructive storms, heat waves, and threat to wildlife.

But this connection. This web. It is us too. We need to be in sync with ourselves.

What I do

I teach us to listen to us. The outside world tells us what we are meant to be and who we are. But what the outside world tells us is a lie. It’s the inside and what the inside tells us the truth of who we are. Many of us are out of sync. We do not trust ourselves because we do not believe in who we are. Just like the Earth, we are off balanced. Maybe it is as much as 1 degree, maybe it’s more.

It can make us unpredictable. Angry. Upset. Worried. Scared.

To be happy, to be connected to ourselves, we need to readjust. Get back on balance. Just like the Earth’s temperate needs to come down. We need to apply our love for our planet to ourselves. That is what I do. That is what I teach.

All my love!
