a name that can be named is not the constant name
It is interesting to see how hypertext has gone from being a grand possibility to a never-finished chore. --Ted Nelson

the tao/dao that can be told
is not the constant Tao/Dao
Perhaps this is all you need to know.
"How can we understand Taoism?" Thomas Christensen ponders this question in his article "Taoism and the Arts of China."
A more detailed explanation is provided in the introduction to Livia Kohn's book Daoism and Chinese Culture, which has been made available on line by Three Pines Press.
"The Tao is basically utterly open.
Utter openness has no substance.
It ends in endlessness, begins in beginningless."

I Ching/Yi Jing
Old Fogey's Guide to the Book of Change
version 2.6a
version 2.5
Of old it has been said that of all the records of the soul the Book of Change is among the most ancient and most holy.
It is also one of the oldest surviving examples of a hypertext document.
In 1995 I was able to find about a dozen I Ching/Yi Jing related web pages.
Most of them were links to the site that become facade.com.
Today Google tells us that there are more than five million I Ching/Yi Jing related web pages. You can wade through as much of that as you want, but it might be helpful to start out with these web sites.

tai chi videos and websites
Q: What I'm wondering is if anyone can recommend a video for Tai Chi...any references, interweb sites, books, videos or anything else...would be extremely wonderful. Thanks.
From a skiing discussion website:
"As for Tai chi chuan, I don't know what's the most popular style down under. I have read that there are world champion Chen style artists from there. Chen style is one of the faster and aggressive styles. Yang style is probably the softest and slowest style, and the one that has been distilled the most for western health comsumption. But don't discount it's application as a true martial art. Even the Chen style is still considered a soft internal art, focusing on internal energy cultivation.
Disski, there is an excelent Yang Style Short Form video that would get you started if your interested. It's called Tai Chi for Health, by Terrance Dunn, distributed by Healing Arts Publishing Inc. I think Wayfarer Publications carries this tape also. Later,

The library where I work has eleven tai chi videos. Can't really recommend any particular one. Haven't seen them all and don't know enough about tai chi to evaluate them.
