    Ah ok. Cool.
  2. Not to mention the fact that a master is much more likely to accept a level 3 student than a level 0 begging for instruction. Who knows. Perhaps being a level 3 will make up for the fact that you are a westerner.
  3. That sounds good in theory but due to the overflowing number of scammers, trolls, etc. posting something like that on the internet is a bad idea. Perhaps a private forum where only certain, trusted members are given access to.
  4. That would be Shifu Lin. I don't think that stuff like this should be used to make money. In Jim's case he only did it to weed out the trolls (originally he took in students for free). I am always open to help people out as much as I can and to the best of my knowldege for free.

    I was under the impression that he was a steward but not a mod.
  6. I'd say it is everyone else who is trolling. Me and Leo are the only one's that actually practice Mo Pai. Everyone else is just trolling a thread about an art they don't even practice or have any knowledge about.
  7. John Chang does teach period. The first three levels are available and will take you 100x farther than most other systems will. I strongly believe that doors will open up for a level 3 Mo Pai that wouldn't previously be possible for a level 0. One of the big things being the fact that a master is much, much more likely to take in an already level 3 student that has obviously shown dedication and seriously via their level of power. A level zero is just another joke.
  8. Which banner do you guys think looks the best and why? (lol)
  9. Not if I got the whole thing on camera, checked you with a metal detector, recorded heat wave data, etc.
  10. I'm going to start using that.
  11. This thread should be sent to the pit. It will do nothing but disorient and confuse any newbie who happens along.
  12. Most systems disagree on the fundemental aspects of Mo Pai (e.g. yin chi, using chi in a waking state, etc.). At one time I believed in magnetic chi sensations, psi balls, heat in the dan tien after only a little training, etc.) but I now believe such things to be false. And any system that teaches them is false as well. Anothing big aspect is the masters of a syste like I said before. Most "masters" either don't claim hightened abilities because they don't have them, or they do claim them, but can't demonstrate anything when faced by a skeptic or group of educated researchers. Pretty much every "master" is nothing more than another George Dilman case. I'd rather not expand on thelearner or any other specific individual without the mods direct permission. I have to be very careful.
  13. While some people may naturally be able to clear their minds and enter deep meditation, others may find it the hardest thing in the world so I do think that talent plays a role. I'd say something like 95% determination, 5% talent. We are all pretty much on the same level as far as spiritual talent goes anyway so even if there are gaps caused by talent, it's not something that can't be bridged with the right amount of determination.
  14. Seriously though I think it is a "heart, brain" relasionship. Without the heart, the brain has no oxygen or blood flow and therefore can't function. Without the brain, the heart has nothing to make it pump in the first place. You can be the most dedicated and hardworking student ever but unless you have proper training info, you'll get no where. You can have the most hardcore, powerful, and high potential system in the world but unless you have a dedicated student that is willing to train hard and never give up, you'll get no where.
  15. For example..
  16. I think that tummo is indeed a valid system but I don't think that it leads to the same level as Mo Pai simply because of the masters that demonstrate the possibilities of their systems. Unless a tummo monk demonstrates Chang like ablities, I won't think of it as equal like Kosta seems to think.
  17. Here is another thing I would like to point out. A good way to view that validity and usefulness of a system is to take a look at what it produces. A lot of people I have met have been at it for decades but what do they have to show for it? They have no inner power, no abilities, nothing that is a sign of energetic development. Some say that they he has gained a balanced life which is good and I'm happy for them. However a balanced life is a different area having to do with character, not spiritual development. Why would someone take the same route as these people? It's like buying an AC that doesn't work. On the other hand take Wim Hof, Chunyi Lin, g-tummo monks, and John Chang. They have something to demonstrate. It's a "do this" and achieve my results type of system. (Edited to remove comments about a specific individual although they were still polite comments. Just trying to be as careful as possible.)
  18. Here's how it goes. Most systems teach stuff that, from experience, I believe to be placebo or at best real but not useful in any way. Stuff like feeling "magnetic sensations" "pressure feeling around the chakras" etc. It's the result of the placebo effect. It's not that I have tried every system, but rather that I've learned to identify placebo and know to avoid systems that teach it. Most systems don't pass. I haven't tried them but I believe that SFQ, tummo, Longmen Pai, and a few other systems have some validity (though they don't acomplish my goal). Most I believe to be non-sense though. However that's just my view based on my own experience. I could always be wrong.

  20. Which 'Neigong Forum' Banner Is Best...?

    KenBrace replied to KenBrace's topic in The Rabbit Hole

    I'll do that after I get off work.
  21. Thanks!
  22. No. And the quote you gave could be truth. The system that is taught in the book might be valid. However I haven't had much luck delving into these random systems so I am skeptical if what was written was true. I have finally found something that is real and that leads to my greatest desire so I have no interest in anything else. I am also very skeptical of most people that claim to feel and experience stuff because I know that at one time I would have sounded exactly like them (and I'd have been saying placebo BS). Yet I would have been confident in my experiences. It wasn't until I took a big step back that I realized ehat was really going on. Best of luck to you and I hope that all of you are practicing valid systems and accomplishing your goals (though I personally doubt it).

    You have to admit that it stuck out from the rest of the threads.
