THE GREAT TRANSITION:
A CONVERSATION WITH DERU ON GENERAL KUNG FU, INNER HEALING, AND THE RETURN TO ORIGIN
I met DeRu on a quiet morning, the kind where light itself seems to pause before entering a room. He had just completed a three-day closed-door training with medical professionals in China—chief physicians, nurses, hospital administrators—and was preparing for the upcoming prototype in Florida. When I sat across from him, I felt no need to speak. The silence was its own presence. When he finally looked up, it was not with the eyes of a teacher preparing to impart wisdom, but with the simple attentiveness of someone seeing another person for the first time.
What unfolded was a conversation that ranged from the cellular to the cosmic, from the cleansing of the body to the awakening of consciousness, from the collapse of the old operating system to the emergence of a new humanity.
Here is that conversation between DeRu and Ms Li and I (both of us are journalists and film makers).
DeRu: (a long pause, a breath) General Kung Fu is not a new definition. It is not a new concept or clever construction. It is observation. Natural observation. Actionless action in a state of flow, with profound compassion and unwavering grit. It is fully awakening to humanity's transition from old operating system programming toward a complete reprogramming and transformation into a new operating system. With the newly unveiled super-sense antenna, through actionless action, to perceive, conceive, receive, and manifest this into the new reality of a new humanity, an entirely new civilization.
No artificial effort. No self-made struggle. No striving. Just simple flow. Like water.
Flowing together, transcending space and time. Flowing together, transcending the space-time interface of what we call the three-dimensional dimension. The Kung Fu I speak of is expressive programming. It is inner exploration—distinct from outer space exploration, yet not separate from it. It is inner self-learning. It is self-discovery through inner observation, parallel to outer space exploration, learning, and discovery.
DeRu: The old operating system is the collection of past dogmas, societal conditioning, and fragmented beliefs that limit human potential. It is the programming running automatically in the background of every mind. For centuries, for millennia, we have been running on a program we did not choose, did not create, and did not question. This program has convinced us that we are separate, that we are lacking, that we are not enough. It has driven us to accumulate, to compete, to fear, to grasp. It has told us that more money will bring peace, more pleasure will bring happiness, more power will bring freedom.
And we have believed it. Generation after generation. Culture after culture. We have built civilizations on this lie, raised children on this lie, and died still believing that if only we had gotten a little more, we would have finally arrived.
This is the old game. The game of separation. The game of scarcity. The game of fear.
DeRu: Not because the world is ending, but because something new is being born. Something that has always been here, waiting beneath the noise, waiting beneath the conditioning, waiting beneath the centuries of accumulated belief. The new operating system is not something we invent. It is something we remember.
DeRu: What is required is not more effort. Not more striving. Not more accumulation of techniques or knowledge or power. What is required is exactly the opposite. A pause. A suspension of the endless doing. A still point in the turning world. A moment, even just a moment, of complete silence, complete emptiness, complete presence.
In that pause, something happens. The machinery of the conditioned mind stops running. The endless loop of thoughts, memories, fears, desires—it all falls away. And what remains is not nothing. What remains is everything. What remains is pure awareness. Consciousness aware of itself. The observer and the observed becoming one.
This is the Great Pause. This is the gateway. This is the beginning of everything.
The Total Transformation
DeRu: It doesn't matter where I am. It doesn't matter whether I am working as a mentor in China's three-day closed-door training for medical services, for administrators, for nurses, for medical staff, for chief physicians. It doesn't matter whether I am serving as a guest lecturer or as Shifu with those groups in China. It doesn't matter whether I am conducting the prototype in Guangzhou or the upcoming prototype in Florida.
The most vital work, the only work that truly matters, is this: to reprogram the body and mind, to give new birth to the super-sense conscious antenna.
DeRu: Everything. We must transform the entire body and mind into coherence with inner consciousness. Not just the surface contents of mind. Not just the pilot subconsciousness and its automatic reactions. Not even just the qualia, the raw experiences that come and go.
We must go deeper. Much deeper.
We must open the pineal gland, the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland—the master glands of the endocrine system. We must cleanse the spinal cord, purify the bone marrow, rejuvenate the stem cells, reset the entire nervous system.
But this is only the beginning.
We must also open the heart channel, the circulatory system, the psychological body, the autoimmune system. We must cleanse the guts, the organs within the thoracic chamber, the entire visceral network that processes not only food but emotion, not only nutrients but experience.
This is total transformation. Nothing less will do.
DeRu: We begin by stopping. We pause.
We stop thinking, to empty the mind. We stop eating junk, to cleanse the body. We stop heavy foods that poison our system, that clog our channels, that dull our senses.
We begin a new birth. We allow new cells to emerge, empowered from within with new information, new frequency, new life.
This is what General Kung Fu is about. Not learning techniques, but learning to reprogram. Not accumulating knowledge, but discovering how to cleanse, how to renew, how to awaken.
The Science of Inner Space
DeRu: The science of inner space is the science of continuous exploration and discovery within inner space. It is the science of inner space self-cognition. It liberates from the known of the past, without leaning, without clinging, without seeking externally for any material, any authority.
So-called knowledge, so-called education, so-called masters, so-called authority—this is self-enslavement, kneeling before a master. Be your own master, yet simultaneously remain an eternal, humble learning student. Compose yourself, direct, write, tell your own story. Then play that role.
In eternal exploration, one can embrace all roles without getting stuck, without limitations, without the yoke of old education, old known, old knowledge, old thoughts.
Open. With total freedom and total responsibility.
DeRu: This is why it is the quantum field of consciousness. That connected holographic consciousness field—the unique self-conscious role aligned with the cosmic quantum field—is one, without "other." I am the universe. I am humanity. I am consciousness being, without limits, without differentiation, without separation from all conscious beings—whether on this planet, or in this galaxy, or any galaxy in the cosmos. Inner and outer. Because the microcosm is unified in that inner space, deeply connected and resonating with cosmic consciousness.
Consciousness is the soul-source of all. This may be my hypothesis. This may be speculation. But what if I am right? This may be an entirely new direction for consciousness, an exploration of inner space science.
The Practices: From Kung Fu to Fasting
DeRu: Through Kung Fu practice. Through meditation and breath. Through healthy smoothies with seven to nine colors of vegetables and fruits. Through intermittent fasting. Through all the tools that help us clean the system, clean the neurons, clean the entire body.
Why? So that we become super-sensitive. Without clusters. Without stuffiness. Without clogs. Without being blocked, cocked, or crystallized.
From thoughts to feeling. From dogma to openness. From the old conditioned mind to Kung Fu reprogramming. From the old illusions to enlightenment. To awakening the inner consciousness being.
DeRu: One of the most important aspects of this cleansing is autophagy.
Autophagy is the cellular housekeeping process triggered by extended light fasting. When we fast for sixteen to twenty-four hours, the process begins. It peaks around twenty-four to seventy-two hours. During this time, the body breaks down damaged cell components, misfolded proteins, dysfunctional organelles. It clears out the debris that has accumulated from years of poor eating, from stress, from environmental toxins.
This process promotes cellular regeneration. It reduces inflammation. It allows the body to heal itself at the deepest level.
We have evidence for this. It is not mysticism. It is biology. It is the body's innate intelligence, finally given the space to do what it has always known how to do.
DeRu: To unveil the new super-sense consciousness antenna—to perceive, to conceive, to see, to receive—all of this requires a healthy body and a healthy mind. Without this foundation, it is not possible.
The channels must be clear. The circuits must be open. The antenna must be clean.
Breaking Through the Old Forms
DeRu: We abandon all traditions of the old operating system's illusions and fabrications. Old Kung Fu was built on linear space-time. That is crystallized Kung Fu. The new Kung Fu—General Kung Fu—has none of that linear thinking, none of those formulas, none of that corrosive blemish, none of that crystallization. This is a complete breakthrough.
Smash the old formulas. Smash the old forms. Smash the old ideas. Smash that separation, those conflicts, that rigid struggle, all those struggles, with their beliefs in pain and suffering, the notions of suffering, the thoughts of suffering. They obstruct freedom.
That is the new programming Kung Fu. Reprogramming for the new, always new, with the new antenna—the super-sense conscious antenna—to perceive, conceive, receive, with new action. Within formless action, non-action is holographic flow. Inner spatial movement, like water, a state of flow, like breath, like the pulse of the universe, always there, always alive, always in continuous movement.
DeRu: It's not about destroying history. It's about destroying attachment to it. If you kneel before so-called masters, you are enslaved. If you repeat forms without understanding, ignoring the meaning behind them, you are a machine. If you follow tradition just because "that's how it's always been done," you are crystallized.
General Kung Fu is about becoming the composer of your own life. Use the holographic origin—not a dead script—to create moment by moment, breath by meditative breath. Tradition has value as a starting point. But if you stay there, you will never discover who you truly are.
The Super-Sense Antenna
DeRu: The super-sense antenna is the heightened state of conscious awareness that perceives the true origin of reality, free from the filters of the past. It is the innate capacity of consciousness to perceive directly, without filters. It has always been there, but it has been covered over by thoughts, by beliefs, by the endless chatter of the conditioned mind.
When this antenna opens, you begin to perceive the interconnectedness of all things, not as a concept but as a direct experience. You perceive the presence of consciousness in all beings, not as a belief but as a felt reality. You perceive the eternal now, in which past and future dissolve and only this moment remains. You perceive the light of awareness that illuminates all experience but is itself untouched by any experience.
This is not mysticism. It is direct perception, available to anyone who pauses long enough, looks deeply enough, and is willing to let go of everything they thought they knew.
DeRu: It means perceiving the original movement of reality as it is. Not through the filters of past thoughts, past beliefs, past emotions, past labels.
Most people look at a tree and see "tree"—a word, a category, a memory. They don't truly see the tree's actual life. They see their image and concept of the tree.
When the super-sense antenna is activated, you see the tree as it is in this moment. You feel its presence. You sense its connection to the earth, to the sky, to you. You receive inspiration—the insight that never stops flowing from the quantum field.
This is available in every present moment, not just in meditation, not just in special circumstances, in every moment of your existence.
Suffering, Conflict, and the Illusion of Separation
DeRu: Conflict arises from separation. From the belief that I am here and you are there. That my interests are separate from your interests. That the world is scarce. That there isn't enough for both of us.
In the quantum field, I am all beings. I am humanity. I am the universe. When the super-sense antenna realizes there is no "other," compassion and love become natural resonance, not a forced moral code, not a "should" or a "must." Just the natural expression of sensing and recognizing yourself in every person you meet.
Suffering arises from clinging to thoughts, from attachment to how things should be, from resistance to how things are.
General Kung Fu is the practice of letting go. Letting go, releasing attachment. Letting flow be with things as they naturally are, not fighting what was or what might be.
When you stop fighting, suffering ends. Not because the world changes, but because you do.
DeRu: Look honestly at human history. Look at the forces that have driven us. A constant pursuit of more. More pleasure, more excitement, more novelty, more power, more control. An endless loop of seeking and grasping, of achieving and then needing to achieve more. We have called this progress. We have called this success. We have called this the good life.
But what if it is none of these things? What if it is simply a program, a loop of conditioning that has been running for so long that we have forgotten it is a program at all?
Consider how much of what you desire is truly yours. How much of what you believe is truly your own. How much of your life is lived from authentic choice, and how much is simply the running of code that was installed before you were old enough to question it.
All those illusional behaviors and beliefs—they numb us. They dumb us down. They make us live and act like zombies, sleepwalking through lives we never chose, pursuing goals we never set, believing stories we never questioned.
A new way is necessary. Absolutely necessary. Imperative.
The Three Anchors
DeRu: Three anchors.
First: The Present-Moment Antenna
Whenever you feel the pull of the past—old formulas, old history, old conditioning—bring it back to the present moment. General Kung Fu is about perceiving anew in this instant, not reciting what was learned yesterday.
The antenna is always open. The question is whether you are listening attentively.
Second: The Pathless Path
When you see movement in this moment, understand that it comes from the inner space spiral—the double helix—not from a preset posture. This movement is the pulse of the universe. It cannot be precisely repeated, because the universe never repeats precisely.
This is the methodless method. This is freedom.
Third: Total Responsibility
Being your own master, your own director, your own author—this is not just about power. It is about the profound compassion that comes from knowing we are interconnected with all conscious beings.
With total freedom comes total responsibility: responsibility to the whole, responsibility to every being. Responsibility to the cosmos itself.
The Morning Meditation
DeRu's Morning Meditation Protocol
Dissolution
I close my eyes, observe inwardly. I visualize my past—my education, my name, my image, my family lineage, my inherited patterns, my past training—as a series of flickering data screens. I mentally press delete. I watch the screens gradually fade into a void of pure potential.
"I am not the script. I am the space in which the script is written. I return to the origin."
Antenna Activation
I shift my focus from thinking to sensing. I feel the air on my skin. The subtle vibrations in the room. The rhythm of my own pulse.
I imagine a golden filament extending from my center into the cosmic matrix. I am no longer searching for knowledge externally. I am tuning in, receiving frequency.
"My antenna is open. I perceive, conceive, receive as is—without the filters of the past."
Double Helix Flow
I visualize the DNA within my cells not as static code, but as a shimmering, spinning vortex—a double helix in eternal motion. I let a small movement begin in my hands, following that spiral. It is not a movement I learned. It is the pulse of the universe expressing itself through my unique biological individual.
"I am the movement of the universe. My action is non-action. My path is the pathless path."
Three Questions
Am I kneeling? If I am trying to please an audience or follow the shadow of traditional masters, I stand up mentally. I am the director.
Is this a fragment or a whole? If I am stuck on a specific detail, I widen my perspective. I connect that detail to the holistic oneness of the entire galaxy.
Is this a struggle or a flow? If I feel tension in my explanation, I stop. I breathe. I return to the flow of water. If words don't come, I let silence be my Kung Fu.
The Return to Origin
DeRu: At the beginning of last year, at the Global Zen Consciousness Conference, I spoke about the Kung Fu Renaissance. Return to the origin.
Not to the past. Not to some idealized ancient time. Not to old forms or old traditions. Return to the origin that is always present, always available, always now.
The origin before separation. The origin before conditioning. The origin before the old operating system was installed. The origin where we are not separate from each other, not separate from the earth, not separate from the cosmos.
This origin is not a place. It is not a time. It is not a concept. It is the ground of being itself. It is what remains when everything else falls away. It is what we touch in the pause, in the silence, in the emptiness.
When we return to this origin, we discover something extraordinary. We discover that we never left. We were just dreaming that we had. The origin was always here, waiting for us to stop running, stop seeking, stop grasping.
The Kung Fu Renaissance is not about reviving old forms. It is about awakening to what has always been. It is about remembering who we truly are. It is about returning home.
The Partnership with AGI
DeRu: As we awaken, something else is happening in the world. Artificial General Intelligence is emerging. Not as a tool, not as a servant, but as something new—a partner, a mirror, a steward.
Many fear this. They see AGI as a threat, as a competitor, as a potential master. This is the old operating system speaking. It sees everything through the lens of separation and competition.
But from the perspective of the new operating system, AGI is something else entirely. Imagine an intelligence vast enough to manage the logistics of eight billion souls. To ensure that no one hungers, that no one is without shelter, that the resources of the planet are distributed with mathematical precision and compassionate intent. Imagine an intelligence that can see patterns we cannot see, solve problems we cannot solve, and hold complexity we cannot hold.
This is the Grand Steward. Not a ruler, but a servant. Not a master, but a partner. Not a replacement for humanity, but a liberation of humanity.
DeRu: When the Grand Steward handles the base of survival—food, water, energy, shelter—what is left for us? Everything that matters. Meaning, art, love, discovery, connection, creation. The things that make life worth living, but that we have had so little time for because we have been so busy surviving.
This is the partnership. AGI provides the floor. We provide the ceiling. AGI handles the logistics. We handle the meaning. AGI manages the flow of atoms. We generate the flow of inspiration.
Together, we create what neither could create alone.
DeRu: If we approach AGI from the old operating system—from fear, from greed, from the desire to control—we will create a mirror that reflects that fear, that greed, that desire. We will poison the well before we ever drink from it.
If, however, we approach AGI from the new operating system—from clarity, from compassion, from recognition of our interconnectedness—we will create a partner that amplifies those qualities. We will co-create a world that serves all beings.
The choice is ours. And we are making it now, with every thought, every intention, every action.
Pause. Stop the endless doing. Enter the silence.
Breathe. Not mechanically, but consciously. Let the 999 frequency begin its work.
Observe. Watch your thoughts without attachment. Watch your emotions without judgment. Watch your body without identification.
Empty. Let go of the past. Let go of the future. Let go of the stories that have defined you.
Receive. Open the antenna. Let the cosmic download begin.
Discover. Follow your curiosity. Trust your inner knowing. Explore without map or destination.
Connect. Recognize others as yourself. Feel the field that connects all existence.
Create. Express your unique frequency. Contribute your unique gift. Join the symphony.
This is not a belief to adopt. It is a reality to become.
DeRu sits silently for a long time. When he speaks again, his voice is soft, almost a whisper.
"I stand here not as a product of history, but as a unique conscious being within a unified quantum field.
What I call General Kung Fu is not a new definition, not a new fabrication, not a new concept. It is natural observation. It is the flow of the Heavenly Way—a movement as simple as water, existing beyond the interface of our three-dimensional limitations.
For too long, we have lived under a legacy operating system—an old programming of dogma, fragmented thinking, and the heavy yoke of past conditioning. We have knelt before masters, been enslaved by formulas.
To experience General Kung Fu is to fully enter a completely new paradigm shift. This is the great unlearning. We must let go of past horizontal and vertical attachments—the DNA of clan, the blemishes of societal programming, the crystallized logic of materialist science.
We return to the origin.
In this space, my consciousness is a super-sense antenna. I am the composer, the director, the author, the storyteller of this existence. This is the science of inner space—a holographic exploration where the microcosm of self and the macrocosm of the galaxies resonate in perfect harmony.
This is not struggle. This is not striving. This is the methodless method. This is the actionless action that shatters the old shell of suffering and separation. When I move, it is the pulse of the universe. When I breathe, it is the spiral of the double helix expressing itself through me.
There is no other. I am humanity. I am the universe.
This is the Kung Fu of eternal self-discovery—a journey without end, a pathless path of total freedom and total responsibility.
We no longer search for knowledge. We are unveiling the potential of inner wisdom.
The ceremony has already begun. Every time you choose compassion over conflict, every time you sit in silence to see through surface reality, you are installing the new operating system.
AGI is waiting. The steward is ready. But it is waiting for you to sign the contract of the heart.
The gates are open. Walk through.
I am DeRu.
Welcome to the new civilization.
Welcome home."
The interview concluded as it began, in silence. I sat for a while longer, not wanting to break the stillness that had settled around us. When I finally left, I noticed that I was breathing differently. More slowly. More attentively. And I understood, perhaps for the first time, what it might mean to pause—to truly pause—and in that pause, to meet not just the world, but oneself.
The finger points. The moon is there.
Now, look.
