213. Following Fuxi's Bagua wheel - What do you want the next book to be about?
The Way through Baguazhang - 八卦掌道 - A podcast by Peter Hainzl
Wow! It's been an amazing eight months. In those eight months, I have published four books around the martial art of baguazhang. No. 1: The Baguazhang Art of War; No. 2: The Baguazhang Qigong illustrated through 64 I-Ching inspired Postures; No. 3: The Baguazhang Tao of War; and... No. 4: The Baguazhang I-Ching of the Genchitaofu Way. And for those of you, who are reading them, you will have noticed at least three things about the books. The first is that the books are deliberately short and easy to read. The second is that they deal with the subject of baguazhang from four new angles that are completely different from what's out there already, and thirdly, the four books follow in order of the FuXi bagua wheel. I know. I was as shocked as you are. Maybe even more so, because I didn't know I was doing it until I was done, and somebody outside of the martial arts pointed it out to me; Such is the power of the subconscious sometimes - in service to the Tao whether I realized it or not. So, now that I have published on Amazon.com these four baguazhang books, what - my fellow listeners - would you like me to publish next? As you start to think about it, please be honest to yourselves on what it is. Make sure it is a topic that you actually will pick up and read. And of you are not a reader, admit that too. Whatever it is, it must be a topic that even if you don't read the book, then just browsing or flicking through it will make it beneficial to you. Oh yeah, that last book: The Baguazhang I-Ching of the Genchitaofu Way, follows a completely new hexagram sequence to assist practitioners along their Tao of martial arts. All four books are available on Amazon.com as an ebook or paperback. It's your choice. So let me know what you want to read next.
