True being – presence – requires a detachment, a withdrawal, a coiling of your energy into core, heart – internal spring. Then you are present not as lump but as a source that constantly feeds vibrancy – energy – into being. This is why in Taiji we eschew local movement. If the hand moves, that movement is always generated elsewhere. Remote agency. Why did I do that? Who knows. Did I really do that? asks the artist. Who knows. Then you have become a finely tuned instrument for use by Spirit. You have gone beyond self and into destiny.
