well... about that... last night I went to Drakpo Jinsek. I doubt you have any idea what it is, but for the general public it is a "Through the Wrathful Jinsek (Drakpo Jinsek), all enemies, obstructers and those who bring harm both to worldly life and the path of enlightenment, are eliminated and liberated." Fire pujas are quite something... No need to suck poison, just offer it to a deity with an open heart ( I think we did talk about "suffering as offering" somewhere around here) I just hope you were conscious enough not to unleash your "rage" that night... It's complicated, but perhaps your karma...anyways... catnip... yes...meow....

huh? rage is liver... check on your stress levels...

my Sifu says "Not my dog".. sometimes you just have to walk by and do nothing...

dude chapter 19. Mental Dao Yin training. https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Teachings-Chinese-Energetic-Medicine/dp/0991569016/ref=pd_sim_14_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0991569016&pd_rd_r=6YV78K5B0X8Z90CFGXWT&pd_rd_w=NKTlc&pd_rd_wg=iBaLB&psc=1&refRID=6YV78K5B0X8Z90CFGXWT I am no special, nothing like that. I just follow the system which I know has value and merit and it is working. I also have plenty of people in my class who study with the teacher who can do the same stuff... It is actually a pre-req to BE a medical qigong doctor, to move qi with your mind ( otherwise, how will you heal people?) ...You are focusing on wrong things. /***************/ The point for this topic is without fallbacks to lineages find if there are similarities. Now, if you look at "pain" via spiritual lenses you will find anything between left hand tantra and christian martyrs. Obviously, this is not something very "sellable" to a general public which hangs out in yoga studios and drinks green juices... Chasing siddhis does not make sense to me. For example, why waste time and energy on creating/controlling fire in a candle when you have matches, gas stoves and lighters? If you are to happen to be alone in a mountain, you can also use other means to create fire for your survival. Etc. etc. etc.... However, pain is a universal qualifier seems to be in all these practices... so why not to compare experiences without going into a brawl?

huh? who is Biology and why should she care?

well, but to be fair, there is no way for one to learn it unless they run into a system/program/teacher by fate/destiny. That's why I quoted that particular part of the other 13 pages topic. I thought he was actually speaking from experience that "most of them are very dark, and that doesn't sell well. People want to be reassured that everything is going to be ok, and there is no way to say otherwise without becoming the bad guy". We think we are "tuff" enough to face our demons, but from personal experience, I can tell you that it ain't the case. For me, when that "pouring boiling hot water" is all over you ( or all your internal organs are on fire) and the pain is physical/emotional/energetic and lasts for days... then you start questioning your path... And your Sifu "beats you up" for not doing practice everyday and you try to negotiate..."but I cannot do standing practice, because I cannot physically stand". ( pain is too much to move). Now, I know it is "purging" stuff and there are "levels of onions" to clean up... Mental anguish and such... yes, some people suffer from it, but mental part is the easiest to break ( if you have proper teachings). Energetic pain stuff... yes, you can learn to control qi and lead it with your Mind. Takes lots of time and practice, but theoretically it is possible. Spiritual pain stuff...couple times during training I think I ended up in few places where it is a little bit "too dangerous". Sifu told me, "cat. focus. otherwise you will be killed. it does not matter if asteroids are blasting around you, if cosmic battles are raging, if you are being attacked by monsters, if you are doing crazy sh*t... focus on what I told you to do and do it...everything else is a distraction(*) no matter how real it looks ( trust me, it looks and feels VERY real, especially pain ) ... that's why I thought whoever wrote the quote knew a little bit of what comes after "love and light and let's do yoga pose and think about world peace"... I was wrong... oh well... however, I think the discussion is excellent and lets people reflect on the subject without "school fundamentalists" attachments. (*) even dragons

+1. It is ego traps. Working on this myself...

yeah... super energy sensitive female at young age... it sure will fry her circuits... still fries when they grow up also... there is a delicate balance to this stuff... glad to hear she was ok

Bye dude. On this part: you have an autoimmune disorder in western medical terms. In eastern terms, you are attracting environment which is killing you (we are all in this, don't take it as you are super special). I would recommend to go see anybody who was trained in Medical Qigong, they might help you with some autoimmune issues. The roots are however much deeper than physical body stuff and you have to work on that yourself, no doctor can do it for you ( neither plant medicine if you are into that). meow

technically yes... We have very random people in the school: social workers, retired ladies, asian men who are into martial arts and such. One thing that you are forgetting is that a true lineage holder who had been training for many years IS ABLE to transfer this to his students... As for the "build qi" part. The first 6 month is spent on introduction to physical movements and refining/building qi. Second semester book has info on how to gather qi from stars/planets/plants/mountains/etc. Third and further books teach about healing humans ( including cancer treatments)...Professor Johnson put everything in his books and it is available for anybody. I am not going to put it here ( there are thousands and thousands of pages). Now, if you actually practice and have an experience, we can talk. If you are just an arm-chair daoist... well... we are accepting things as they are without judgment... meow p.s. there is a catch though into this. You have to have De ( virtue) in order to be able to comprehend and practice. This De is apparently from past lives...If your energy is super coarse and you cannot feel anything...well, start refining it...In 10-12 years your first ( 6 month training) semester would be complete.

I dunno dude about Starjumper, but moving people without touching them is a second semester of our training ( google daoistmagic stuff). I did it myself many times in classes. It is basically projecting and controlling qi. Our teacher built it slowly over the 6 month period: i.e. you start with a partner,partners always rotate, so you don't get used to energy of one person, then there are exercises when you put everybody in line and control about 6-7 people with your qi and the last one in line usually get's kicked the most. There are also exercises when people stand in front of you in semi-circle and all at once try to move you. It is actually a very funny and cool exercises and are not viewed as something extra super special, just energy stuff. pm me if you want direct link to classes. It is not used for martial arts ( at least not how it is taught to first year second semester), but it is very real and practical for qi training development. meow

+1 on this, with little correction "there is no center of the universe" and at the same time "there is a center of the universe". it's complicated, but it's true... I am not aware of any human words to explain this though... you have to experience it... probably the same thing as "lama comes from afar... one buddha contains all buddhas...yab-yum..."

in Mental Dao Yin I was taught a simple trick to this.All you do ( since it is assumed you have an awareness of your thoughts at this point) is to say to the thought either "Yes", "No", or "Not now". It is amazing how much "Not now"s I have:) But it allows to 1) not run with the emotion 2) observe and 3) focus on the task... Try it:P

Yours truly went to https://www.calacademy.org/events/planetarium-show/tour-of-the-universe-0 Just you know, cats like to roam the universe... And those scientists had lots of latest research added to the tour... anyways... what they say is that Universe is shaped like a bow-tie I cannot find the correct image online. Which is strange. Basically it looks like a bow tie with red colors at the center and blue at the ends. It is surrounded by red ( infra-red) "borders of the Universe". To me it looks exactly like a nucleus cell, only instead of round center the bow tie is present. Now, NASA is known for its jokes, as everybody knows Earth is flat and Christian God created it 6000 years ago... But can anybody tell me how does it fit with Daoist and Buddhist theory? As all universe ( all galaxies included) is a cell in itself? Of every "Self" in each dimension? kitty's head is spinning here...

yes, I was going to post this pic as a reference ( there is also a Blue one), but the problem with this picture is that is has stars and the colors are going not the way it was at the planetarium. The universe by definition contains all stars and galaxies, etc... i.e. pretty big and far and yet contained. They also said that currently humanity explored only 3% of the Universe ( much like DNA... interesting similarities). I tend to think that darkness forming bow-tie shape is a "different color schema" spectrum none of our technologies are capable of seeing ( yet?). I was surprised to see the "official science" at the Academy actually openly educating people on this. At the same time, since most of it is a computer simulation ( they showed the "last frontier as radio waves from the 70s hyperloop as the factual evidence of what they had and everything else is a comp simulation based on the latest telescopes data). Btw, if you ( reader) are inclined to find a new galaxy for yourself, preferably inhibited, the data is open sourced, so if you have that capacity, you might as well look for life... http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/cats/VII.htx ( not sure this is the one referenced in the show though)

you know once you are in a lineage, you are in a lineage? it's not as easy as breaking up with your ex-girlfriend... you need to practice, whatever it is... perhaps before you go join "Mongolian shamans" and one of the most powerful Daoist sects, you should read the fine print?... your state is called "Disillusionment" ( one of Six Obstacles In Mental Concentration): "This obstacle sometimes difficult to overcome, as the doctor soon discovers that the various techniques used for developing focused concentration and visualization require much work, practice and discipline. It is only through perseverance that actual progress is made". ( JAJ v2. p 490. Mental Dao Yin Training) spirit plant told you what you need to know p.s. and for your "horror trips". This perhaps will help to understand it is rather normal. http://www.shambhala.com/a-guided-tour-of-hell.html Sam is not my teacher, but he did hang out with rather powerful tantric teachers. Highly recommend his ramblings...

What about Meow Pai? I heard that's the Most Ultimate Fighting Skill you can have... 256 levels....

yes, exactly, the twist... that's why it looked so familiar... they said that scientists are puzzled that no matter where they put the point of reference, the picture is still the same ( the center is the same). I.e. no matter what point of the universe you are at, you are still looking at the bow tie...

you need an editor I read your pdf btw, but again, you are all over the place... perhaps you could check how they used to structure books in old times? I.e. when you are smart enough, all you need is to read a table of content instead of the whole book? ( I am referencing something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Nyingma-Tradition-Sutra-Tantra/dp/1559394366/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498193495&sr=8-1&keywords=complete+nyingma+tradition what you are describing is already systemized and classified in books. I am interested to see if you have anything "novel".

wow, Mercury is hitting you hard... I'd suggest to write books and put it on Amazon for money. You speak a lot of info, but it is all over the place. Going high somewhere? p.s. Can you elaborate on "evil fire"? What is it, how do you get it, how do you get rid of it. Etc. Evil Fire in Alchemy to be exact... meow
