but see...that's my whole point...as it's said "It's easy to be a holy man on a mountain" Not that achieving the goals of meditation/chi kung/tai chi is easy to begin with but it is one thing to achieve that place in optimum circumstances and quite another to achieve it while the world falls down around you...and to me that's the point: to be centered and peaceful when the sh it hits the fan. It's has only been in the last couple of years that I have overcome, mostly, the adrenaline rush of potential conflict. I'm not saying that beginning med/ck/tc peeps should be jamming to Marilyn Manson but I think there is a point where you should test what you are doing against the chaotic maelstrom of everyday existence.

"Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"
