This is a serious topic to which a great deal of thought has been given. The Internal Tradition stretches far into the mists of the past, we are all fortunate to be able to have real work to do. By following this path, we endeavor to stand on the shoulders of giants.

In light of this venerable tradition, the UnCarved Block approach is very simple, If you didn't make it, you can't take it... get permission and give credit where credit is due. Taking without permission is theft.

A very large percentage of UnCarved Block Program practitioners are instructors from other disciplines. If you teach, please ensure that you can continue to participate by respecting the life's work of others.
