thats a good guess, closer to the truth than the usual understanding. but still not quite it. what nobody understands in this chapter is that η°ε (different names), does not refer to 'these two' at all. Instead, η°ε (different names) refers to δΈη© (all things).

Would you, or others, please elaborate on this? of course i would. there is only one enlightenment. enlightenment means the human heart dies to the mortal world while the heavenly heart awakens to eternal life

i know right? peeps always get at me like 'dude, you do not understand! its like apples and oranges' and i go come on, man,.. tomato tahmato... whats in a name man? seriously though yes the pics do look like modern qigong why then i am saying that these exercises are not at all like modern qigong? because like magical, man...the spirit...i think you get my drift

glad you asked! The OP is a beginner so the both are fine really what were they before qigong was concocted in the commi china?

there was no woman. you see things due to an inborn energy imbalance. quit doing energy work, drink valerian and digitalis for your heart, go have an ECG if you can, calm down your thoughts. Above all understand it is all in your head and you will be fine.

it depends on what exactly that pretty woman said and what exactly happened to her afterwards

these are two consecutive stages of the same alchemical method. practicer must go through di stage first to achieve the tian stage. and conversely without getting a bit of xian first, there can be no di. there is nor can be no effective yangsheng which is separate of alchemy.

on my part i am certain you and him pinkie swear that!

would that be the famous russian no touch death strike?

bummer. their kongfu was stronger than the monks kongfu errr, what can possible constitute a direct evidence for 900 years?

certainly not! you see guv sarcasm is passive aggressive. and given that i am anything but passive.... gee i donno they say genius skips a generation so ..say...37, 38...ish?

oh teachers never are good or decent. thats cheap in more sense than one https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/aug/02/shaolin-abbot-under-investigation-after-sex-and-claims-surface-online i also dont understand what this means. How long is a generation? 50, 25, 10, 3 years? Were those generations learning online as well? Will learning online from him make me a 36 generation shaolin master? If not, what will it make me? (thinking...thinking...must ...be ...silent...)

not at all. opening channels is an impressive feat. thats why i am asking who your alchemy teacher is. if you dont mind sharing it of course. i studiously try not to be sarcastic because being a rhetorical dead-end it is not constructive
-
this is thrilling! if for the sake of an argument a fake magus jumps a fake taoist, who would win and who would lose? Present company excepted of course. Faites vos jeux, messieurs dames! Popcorn!
-
wow thats impressive! who is your alchemy teacher?

Taoist Texts replied to Apech's topic in General Discussion
yes thats true. and my point wasthat visualization is not done by the mind only. there is another secret ingredient to it besides the mind. (and no it is not not the object, and not breath) -

these two were pushing just neidan and taichee. now they are tibetan experts too? wow what they will think of next! and i particularly liked the integrity part the mind is used to a certain extent thats true. it is a necessary condition. but an insufficient one. -
Why study martial arts if you'd never fight back?
Taoist Texts replied to Franky's topic in General Discussion
The Way of the Warrior has been misunderstood. It is not a means to kill and destroy others. Those who seek to compete and better one another are making a terrible mistake. To smash, injure, or destroy is the worst thing a human being can do. The real Way of a Warrior is to prevent such slaughter β it is the Art of Peace, the power of love. Morihei Ueshiba .[31]:β223 Exactly. This much fear and anger pent up in these disturbed images are the hallmarks of MA and nei-something communities. Must be that vaunted qi at work. Tsk tsk. Well its kinda funny. Amitofo.- 66 replies

Why study martial arts if you'd never fight back?
Taoist Texts replied to Franky's topic in General Discussion
no we did not. you see servicing those big ugly things that go boom and brrr did not leave us much time to dance around in white pajamas here is a simple exercise that will help you in this very complicated matter: every time you wanna say fighting say 'kill or be killed' instead. then you will wonder how you did not see it until now. please repeat with me: the mongol hordes ' practice martial arts'.....the Macedonian phalanxes ' practice martial arts'...the conquistadores ' practice martial arts'...the Napoleonic battalions ' practice martial arts'... Then visualize a strip-mall dojo. May be you will see the diff and laugh. At them, not with them. Just may be you will. I am not sure nowadays.- 66 replies

these people are very wise. it is heartwarming to finally see someone in the MA with common sense the first thing to understand about the 'martial arts' that they do not have anything to do with actual fighting which is about 'to kill or be killed against a stronger enemy'. In fact MA is the opposite of real fighting. In case of these good peeps what you see as 'violence and destruction' is a good clean fun.Kudos to them. And those who claim that MA is for fighting are just childish clowns. Not that there is anything wrong with it- 66 replies
