Recently I've been asking myself, what use is meditation, since I don't have powers like the Magus of Java or some chi master from China. Maybe if you can get powers or something it would renew your sense of childhood.

The domain is registered to [email protected]. (Same email that you give out for people ordering your cards, etc.). Are you sure you aren't the host? Anyways, if it's not cleared with the current head of the Mo Pai, then it's not official, is it? Changing the official part might be good.

They're funny.

Then why do you list it on the page, and why does the www.mopaineikung.com site link to your evident email, etc.? For somebody who doesn't want to be part of the "constant, dark drama" then why do stuff for Sifu Lin, etc.? Anyways, don't bother answering, as I'm not all that interested. I was looking for some new books with some new techniques, but except for Wang Li Ping's new books, I guess I won't bother.

It is hard for me to believe that there is a SIfu Lin, given all the evidence contrary. But, whatever. I like the covers of all those little E-Books, though. They're pretty.

It's interesting the number of people that have recommended his works on Amazon, and didn't post about anybody else's books at all, but just recommended a bunch of his books.

IMHO I'm not doing anything to the Mo Pai except talking about it, and hoping things change. Thanks for the info on Wang Liping, though.

I like this. It doesn't really explain how somebody as in Kostas story of the blind master, who was supposedly at level 51 or something, could reach that level if he was just out for revenge, but I like the morality. I would like to see everybody act moral towards the Mo Pai, and the Mo Pai to continue, with some teacher who doesn't charge an insane amount, willing to teach it to us.

I think martial artists a lot of them like to fight. Not saying that regular jealousy / anger / animosity aren't at work here too. I hope it will get better. I kindof doubt it, though.

I think it's funny that Jim McMillan says that John Chang is searching for 'nivana' and this is diametrically opposed to Christianity, yet Jim McMillan is seeking Mo Pai, so what's the difference. Isn't that what John is seeking is the 'Mo Pai'? They're essentially the same, Christian, and seeking the Mo Pai. So what is the problem, Jim?

I guess I thought people would already have experience meditating before they tried level 2.

Anyways, IMHO Kostas gave out enough information that if somebody was already part of some sort of internal culture tradition, that they could figure it out. Maybe John Chang is just waiting for somebody from the West, East, wherever, to reach level 4, and then he will decide upon the successor.

Well, by physics, if you break the 1st brick, then the 2nd brick is easy to break because a lot of force from breaking the 1st brick is transferred down to the 2nd, then to the 3rd, etc. It doesn't take that much more work to break a whole stack than it does to break just 1 brick. Try it sometime with a sledgehammer or something if you don't want to hurt your hands.

No, no, no. Think about it. How much force does it take to break 1 brick? Then if that force is transferred down to the next brick, how much force is required to break the next brick? About just as much as the 1st brick. And on and on and on until all the bricks are broken. Do not think it is the force Jedi. It is just physics. LOL

Greetings to you too! May you find many happy findings on here.

The whole thing bothers me, from Kostas descriptions in the book about how John Chang's sifu lived, and how his sifu died. Why can't people just get along? It's obvious a lot of times they just can't. Which is why I get the morality required of the teachings, that a lot of people say, because if the Good Guys didn't win, then we'd all be stuck with the Bad Guys winning or at least coming out even. The entire human race, IMHO, needs a lot of improvement in their treatment of each other, animals, the earth, etc. I hope it comes. I'm not really that optimistic about it, though.

It is dangerous sounding, because it is dangerous. Mixing is very different than fusing. How am I supposed to fuse them -- and why would I want to? Anyways, I really like Kostas books. I didn't really like so much Jim McMillan's book so much, calling the ancestors demon spirits, and his Christian centered outlook, but thanks go him for publishing a book, whatever. I had much worse a Christian centered outlook last night from a friend I was playing Monopoly with, so WHATEVER. As long as we can spout our beliefs with non-violence, IMHO it's good. What I hope is that they all can get along all the students of 'John Chang', and John Chang lives long enough to pass the lineage onto somebody who will teach to Westerners. That's my hope. In the meantime, in search of. Maybe I need to get another taoist book and try doing the orbit again.

I think it's simple. I forgot what I read in Kostas book. What they were posting on here is a lot of dangerous sounding stuff.

It's something called a hernia. The Lower Dan Tien area is an area of something called the hernia., I've met a lot of people who required hernia surgery. One guy (I didn't meet) was recently in the news 'The Rock', an actor and wrestler. You don't want to try to move 1 area of the body, IMHO, into another area of the body. IMHO.

I wonder if the blind guy in Kostas book that killed the 2nd headmaster removed from John Chang of the Mo Pai, just got really fricking angry. He supposedly said he studied with another tradition, but I really wonder if he progressed so fast because he was dedicated and out for for revenge. (Not saying this is good -- "Why can't we all get along?"), but just wondering.

Yeah, it doesn't say fuse. It says "... why none of my students have managed to combine yin and yang ... " That, IMHO, sounds like a relief compared to trying to send the LDT down to the root chakra and fuse them or something.

Somehow I don't think so. IMHO I didn't 'end' anything, just didn't 'do' anything.

A lot of people seem to call it reverse -- the 1st chakra being the base of the spine, then 3rd chakra being LDT (lower dantien).

If we could get a Chinese speaker, it seems like it would be easy to find out if Shifu Lin is really Chinese or not. Unfortunately, I'm not one.

I haven't been doing what I was then. I started meditating again like a couple of years ago, but I didn't do the training like Kostas suggested.
