My Chinese Doctor "When you have an enemy you don't have to fight a war," my Doctor warns me. "You don't have to go and immediately attack someone, you can make deals with everybody in the area and win the war that way...see. United States is just now learning that." Now he grins broadly."There is no word for antibiotic in traditional Chinese medicine? We don't try to control things, we believe in listening to the body. We use the body's own guiding system" "So your following my body's own rhythm?" I ask. "Yes!" he exclaims, "When the rhythm is no good... nothing works! You see, material plus time equals rhythm. Our goal is to make the rhythm flexible... not frozen! Let me tell you something", he says, leaning forward. "I use different materials to help guide the will. Will is very important. You know what comes first in the Universe?" "Will?" I reply obediantly. "Yes!" says my Chinese Doctor, launching off into a story about a woman he treated for cancer who wanted him to stop the pain. "Pain was very bad" he says wincing. "So I gave her techniques to strengthen will. The medicine was very common. Same medicine that I give for flu. No different. But she had no more pain!" He hands me my little package and winks. "Horizontal is bad? he says, tracing in the air a spiral pattern of the inimpeded energy flow as it moves through the body. "Perpendicular is good! Things have to go down before they can come up. You have to be humble before you can be proud!" So said my Chinese Doctor. |
