Does anyone know if Jim McMillan is still alive?
KenBrace replied to Sleeper's topic in General Discussion
Most qigong systems include orbits and other exercises that increase clean energy flow for wellness. Mo Pai is much different. It focusses strictly on packing yang chi into the LDT which doesn't help your health. It doesn't clear your energy channels and promote pure energy flow. Healing and wellness does eventually come in Mo Pai but not at Jim's level. I have no way of truly knowing why Jim got prostate cancer but I can make the most logical assumptions from what I've gathered. -

Mo Pai isn't really about healing and therefore it only comes as a result in the higher levels. Jim wasn't at that level and therefore the chi wouldn't have helped him that much as far as healing goes. -
What would it feel like to tear the lower dan tien?
KenBrace replied to KenBrace's topic in General Discussion
This didn't seem to be what MooNiNight was suggesting. Pretty much any chi training can cause bad effects if the techniques are incorrect. Cultivating chi in the LDT is no different than anything else. -

What makes you think packing yang chi into the LDT is harmful? -
Hi quirmchi, I hope you enjoy the forum!

As far as I am aware, Kosta having prostate cancer is only a rumor. I haven't heard any solid evidence that this is true. Yeah, very sad about Jim. His life seemed to be really tough those last couple years and at least now he has peace. I wish him better luck in the next life! -
You pray and ask him to help you with the right decision when you're not sure what you should do. That's my whole point. You can't always rely on your own judgement.
-
You would have no way of knowing this though. The thief could be in desperate need of money and the shopkeeper could be rich. On the other hand the shopkeeper could be just making enough to support his business and family, while the thief had plenty of money and just wanted more.
-
But what if he doesn't want your help? "He needs it whether he knows it or not."But unless God backs it up then who is to decide who is right? I said greedy OR in need of drug money. Some people are completely in their right mind and are not desperate, but are simply selfish and would rather steal money than work for it.
-
Not necessarily. The type of people that rob stores are generally either greedy or need money for drugs.
-
Yeah but this isn't always the case. It goes both ways. There are lazy homeless bums that need to get a life but are to lazy to get out of their boxes and work. On the other hand, like you said, there are rich people (sitting on their butts all day) that live off an inheritance, while there are poor people doing their best to scratch out a living and can hardly afford food. My point was that sometimes it can be hard to tell in a certain case which is which. Other cases are obvious. Lol I agree with most of what you're saying but there are still situations that you can't rely on men's judgement. You can't always treat others how you want to be treated because not everyone acts like you. If someone is robbing a store, then it's only right to stop them if it's within your power. If you were robbing a store you wouldn't want anyone stopping you, but then again you would rob a store. The golden rule can only be applied to people who also apply it. If someone is doing something against the golden rule, you can no longer use it yourself to solve the situation.
-
The golden rule is very important but you cannot completely rely on it to guide your morals. Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor is an example of this. You could say that if the rich are being greedy then it's only moral for you to steal from them and give it to the poor. On the other hand the rich might deserve their worked-for wealth and the poor deserve to be poor since they didn't have the ambition to work hard. What about when it seems a bit in between these two situations? It is then left up to your own imperfect human judgement to decide what to do. In these situations we have to rely on God to guide us on the right decision. There are many examples like this but I hoped you grasped my point.

KenBrace replied to Sleeper's topic in General Discussion
In my opinion it was most likely the combination of being and older and semen retention that made it extremely likely for Jim and Kosta to get prostate cancer. Either way just finish the first three levels before you become a senior citizen and you have nothing to worry about lol. -
In my experience when morality, anger judgment, etc. is left up to men, who are far from perfect, problems can emerge. Since God is perfect the best way to solve this problem is to get closer to him. If you aren't sure about what you should do, pray about it. Not sure everyone will agree with me or not but I've found that if you don't rely on God to help you with morality, it can tend to get really messed up. Well, that depends on your goals.

Yeah I understand what you're saying but I didn't post the thread to compare accomplishments or anything like that I just thought it would be interesting to hear some of the experiences others have had. However I realise now that these things are personal amd should generally only be ahared with close friends and teachers.
-
Yeah I guess I didn't really think it through when I posted this thread. Lol

lol

Yeah it's a shame we can't all be open and friendly with each other.

I sometimes forget to live by this very simple yet important philosophy. You never know how the little things you do might effect the future!

From what I've gathered Taoism and Daoism are basically the same thing; just different translations of the Chinese word. I've heard a few people say they are a little bit different though. Are they?
-
Welcome to The Tao Bums Srinath! Hope you enjoy the forum! Not sure exactly what your goals are but if you are interested in heath, healing, wellness, etc. Spring Forest Qigong is excellent system! Chunyi Lin (the founder) has a youtube channel with lots of videos containing some of the basic exercises and knowledge of the system.

Hey everyone! I've been training very hard and I want to progress as quickly as possible but I've run into a bit of a road block. I am required to take at least 72 hours off of training every time I ejaculate whether it be while I'm awake or asleep because if I don't it would result in a torn dan tien. This used to not be that much of a problem since I rarely had nocturnal emissions and as I'm not married I don't have sex. However for the past couple weeks I've been having wet dreams every 2-4 days and can rarely get a day of training in. Usually as soon as my three day break is almost up, I lapse again and have to take three more days off. This is really annoying because I'm really motivated and anxious to progress and rarely being able to train is killing my progress! I've done a bunch of research but usually the best advise people give to have less wet dreams is to masterbate or have sex. This does me absolutely no good, because the point is to not ejaculate regardless of the way you do it. I have found a few tips like sleeping on your side with one leg on top of the other and that not staying warm helps (sounds a little bit miserable), but does anyone else have any ideas that might help?
-
Yes, I've actually gone five nights in a row without a nocturnal emission! Last night and the night before I almost broke the streak but I was able to realize what was going and snap myself awake just in time! Thanks for all the help you guys!
