Fight for your Soul

The journey:

My own journey started back in 1993, when I started my practice of Taoist Internal Martial Arts. I´m born in Denmark in 1972, so I was 21 years old. From back then to now I count 32 years, all with training and teaching Taoist Internal Martial Arts, besides many other methods, such as acupuncture.

​

The training and the system:

The training I have done is classical, the systems the real thing, the lineages genuine, yet lived in a modern Western context, and thus having to struggle with bridging this divide. The result is, in my own opinion, a valuable method worth transmitting to those who are interested. I´ve had countless profound health improvements occur, similarly enormous break throughs of body abilities and exuberant vitality, not to speak of all the various deeper and more subtle, but also more truly powerful initiations accomplished over time. I always with an honest conviction can whisper to anyone that these methods and this system, I have learned to use, are by far the best available on this planet. I understand what other systems do, within the same health-martial-meditation practice, and if they were better, I would have switched to them immediately. However, “best” also means more effectful on all areas of a human being, therefore it is also a very serious matter altogether.

​

The Path:

My personal path through the Internal Arts has been intense to say the least. In my experience anyone will encounter a storm, if and when they choose to find true inner integrity and balance, and train it as a method in body, heart and mind. We still live in a world were subtle and less subtle crucifixions occur on a daily basis. And even life without betrayals is hard and difficult enough in itself, coming from barbery to a civilization in incremental baby steps. The Internal Arts on the higher levels are for those who, for various personal reasons, at a particular moment in time find it easier to finally head right into the storm than try to wait it out. On the preliminary levels of this training there are so many benefits that if you stay around those edges it´s absolutely the best investment anyone can ever do. I encourage everyone to learn this invaluable basis training.

​

The deeper view:

I had, ever since I remember, a great longing for something which I perceived as mystical yet somehow embodied in people, places and atmospheres. It took me numerous breakdowns, long retreats of different kinds and more than I wish to remember of pain through training and implementation in life, to find what this mystical longing pointed to. In a simple way it can be said it´s the same longing every spiritual seeker has ever had. We could say the longing for the divine, seen through the prism of worldly living. I have much later in life come to understand that our concept of the divine is ever changing, and that what we regard as the highest in life, at a given point in time, simply becomes the concept of the divine. Therefore, our divine image among most Westerners nowadays is a (quantum) computer. This is why spiritual methods in the West now are talked about in computerized rational terms, where nothing is mystical as such. I do not necesarely disagree with this language and image of the divine, but I know from my observation and theory on the divine that in the future, we will define and talk about the divine from a different perspective when “our highest” will be something else, and new. What I do absolutely disagree with is the belief that the mystery of the divine is not there anymore. In this sense, I am still in search of the divine, being led by a longing that might be saturated in the depth of meditation, but surfaces again when the future knocks on the door and asks, once again, “who am I?”
