I believe Falun Gong is similar to those old Temple Dances. It balances the body and allows the spirit to come through.

It allows each individual person to get in touch with something far higher than themselves and their government.

Once a person experiences the expansive reality of our true selves, it is impossible for that person to remain a slave to anything, whether it is a master, a government or a religion.

I wish someone who has studied Falun Gong would teach us what it is about. Email me if you understand and can describe what it feels like to practice Falun Gong.

: Have any of you heard about the Chinese recently forbidding a

: can't think of the name of it. Perhaps NOW we know why:
: Dance itself is another piece of human magic that must be

: they can't take away from you!

: Wow! I can just see it: They come to our doors to take us to

: Maybe this is what Peggie Lee was talking about in her famous
: song: "If that's all there is, then let's keep

: AND, I've also heard that the Muslim's forbid the use of

: Sure is fun "dancing" with all of you!
