  1. TaiChiZen -- mass marketing through corporate training blitz

    what women? haha. o.k. how does this rate for Schmexy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFd_zaw45Mk
  2. uploading part five now to youtube -- shud be 3 hrs 10 mns.
  3. TaiChiZen -- mass marketing through corporate training blitz

    Since I started this thread -- I'm going to try to keep things in perspective. Like refined sugar - it it was banned that would probably be more effective than trying to teach everyone tai chi - but think about it refined sugar will never be banned or it would become some lucrative black market drug. Well I guess it already is when you consider it's still grown with basically slave labor in Florida, etc. propped up by huge tax corporate welfare subsidies.... Yeah I mean if Tai Chi was backed by the State - is that the case in China? I suppose it is on some level - but kept controlled. Like Yan Xin is a "national treasure" of China. I wondered if that is why Chunyi Lin does not mention his name as being his first master - who did the mass healings before the government cracked down on it. Amazing how people are so clueless -- like hey Keanu -- I know a dude who can see 4-D -- that's right: He can see front, back, left and right at the same time. I mean it just blows the whole thing out of the water. Sure a lot of these movies now have supernatural effects but they're always way over-the-top without any connection to actual training skills. Then you get all these TCM teachers like acupunturists and Tai Chi teachers who insist any paranormal powers need to first be proven in repeatable experiments with Western controls, yadda yadda -- such that the standards are never good enough for their worldview which apparently is not really based on traditional Chinese philosophy. haha. It reminds me of the dude who started Shaolin - he chopped his arm off to demonstrate he was serious about training. I mean the crazy power deal -- like Jesus killing himself to become God or whatever. Like -- o.k. like Jet Li in his Tai Chi movie - the only way he learns real Tai Chi is by first going totally bonkers - like he was a normal materialist martial arts fighter and then he goes bonkers and recovers in some remote village where everyone is laid back, living by the ways of Nature, taking breaks to watch the Sun - absorbing the chi energy, etc. Yeah so what about these Westernized tai chi teachers that are not able to take that crazy leap? haha. The leap off the 100 foot pole I think it's called.
  4. TaiChiZen -- mass marketing through corporate training blitz

    I found it on 4shared. No download necessary. But there's ads. We'll see. Should be o.k. yeah your commentary on schmexy -- reminds me when I ran into this activist friend on the bus and he invited me to dinner. So we got to this little hole in the wall Thai restaurant that's really good and I notice he's hitting on me. So I just call him on it - wait - you think this is a date? He gives me this sly look. I'm like -- dude -- hold on now. So I think I might have gone into full lotus at that point. The place was tiny - but I made some outing comments like whatever. So then he invites me to his apartment and I say fine and I sit in full lotus the whole time and I try to explain to him the internal female orgasm. Meanwhile he's staring at me and wanting to make his move on me - but since he's an activist he's gotta be P.c. about it. So he plays along and says he thinks he is having an internal orgasm. haha. It's possible he was since I was charging him up but I was also reeking like crap so I think I drank his wine to try to get me to smell better but alcohol is not a very good antiseptic. Then he pissed in the sink when I was using his bathroom - and he's like -- yeah whatever pissing in the sink. haha. Gross. Anyway so that's my "schmexy" story. So I plugged him for inside information on his life - single mom upbringing in low income environment -- non-white status. Anyway -- it was an interesting evening but the dude was still trying to suck me off no matter if he was a peace activist and anti-racist activist -- schmexy is still schmexy. The whole progressive materialist scene just doesn't get it. But the full lotus protected me.
  5. TaiChiZen -- mass marketing through corporate training blitz

    O.k. I'll google it. Wow -- I actually guessed an urban slang word spelling correctly! That's pretty good for a hermit. haha. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shmexy You can have Keanu and I get Winona. haha. you know who I'm talking about right? She was named after a town I biked to -- along the river here in Minnesota. It means "princess" in Dakota. Silly Westerners -- that's why I like Old School kungfu movies -- even by the late 70s the kungfu flicks where throwing in stupid dirty jokes that was totally against the traditional training mentality. The old school movies are based on the traditional training mentality and so even the humor is better - well it depends. I mean Jackie Chan discusses this how he had to learn situational humor. Like umm... well I won't get into it. But anyway it's all good. Just sit in full lotus and make the best of it. o.k. the smart thing is to leverage that promo like I've seen Ip Man 1 and 2 but.... Karen Mok (So Close) What's that? Martial arts - probably not.... Oh her!!! Yeah I saw her. Did I see that one? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_Close Oh yeah I saw that -- great hot chick martial arts flick. I love martial arts chicks because you don't mess with them. haha. Like I had my niece watching -- what's her name - the Malaysian beauty contest winner - and my sister complained about the violence. I'm like - yeah but it's a good role model for her to see females who can defend themselves and kick ass, etc. Seriously. Instead of training females to just be good shoppers and complainers. haha. I would actually watch that "So Close" again. ONce I'm done "uploading." haha. Iko Uwais (Merantau, The Raid). o.k. how about this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merantau hmmm. I've seen the name as a recommended movie but maybe I couldn't find it online for free.... Oh wait - yeah I did see this - another great one!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Raid:_Redemption O.K. finally -- I have not seen this! But - doubt I could find it online.... hmmmmm..... dang -- it took me alot of effort to track down all those "best of kungfu" movies I watched last winter. I went through long lists of them. Mainly old school but some new ones. Can't remember -- most of them on youtube I guess but some on netflix. I stopped doing the download b.s. since too many viruses on those "free download" scam sites ..... Raid Redemption gets rave reviews on netflix but is not streaming - gotta mail it out. Dang. Gotta pay money on youtube to watch it. Dang.... Do I dare delve into the dungeon of the dreaded drivel?
  6. o.k. part five is saving now. So then I only have one more part and I'm done. Yeah so save it to computer will probably take a couple hrs. Then upload it to youtube.
  7. Yeah actually the cell phone memory died out the last 5 mns or over 5 mns -- under 10 mns. So I actually don't remember him saying anything too much different -- he seemed to keep going on that consciousness of the system enabling a healing of the blockages all connected bit. It seemed very related to Mahayana Buddhism saying how there's different levels of emptiness and different levels of consciousness. He says how your consciousness can shift and that will heal a whole system of blockages. So basically he's saying he is "emptying" out his older consciousness and shifting to a deeper level of awareness by going through a deeper level of Emptiness. ummm.. yeah when he told me he was going to speak on longing - before I kicked in the cell phone - I just gave him this big smile and he was looking at me like - what? Because I mean longing -- I was reminded of say longing for love or something. I think that is really what he's getting at. But I mean he's talking about deep trauma and how that can be like a repressed pain that causes a longing - but it's a repressed longing because you don't know what you're longing for. So then he became aware of his family's past and how he himself had internalized their pain and then how he had projected this into his life as trying to do things that were not what was best for him to do. Like maybe he was trying to overcompensate -- trying to belong to a culture that he did not really fit into. Anyway so my mom goes - well Jim can just add his own ending again - you know he can either remember how he ended it or change it to what he wants or whatever. haha. But I really think I didn't miss any big change in the direction - he seemed to pretty much wrap it up at that point. He took a few questions. I asked one question. Yeah it's too bad we couldn't get the whole thing on there but my sister at the last minute told me I couldn't take her Ipad and so I could take her daughter's Iphone and she said that it should have more than enough memory or whatever. haha. Oh well -- I don't even have a cell phone -- and I don't know what the Ipad memory is like but I assume it's more. My mom goes if you're going to keep doing this then you'll have to get something. She wants me to get a cell phone.... but I really despise the electromagnetic pollution of those things causing brain cancer as they're proven to do. So like I mentioned - I think maybe some "white techno guru" will actually video his talks. I don't know. Jim never called me back but I'm sure they're super busy getting ready for the Global Conference that actually started today!! The Spring Forest Qigong global conference is this weekend but it's like $280 a day!! Ummm. then there's the Level 3 class after it starting on Monday and Tuesday -- and so my qigong friend is going and then my mom registered for me to go to the class. My qigong friend is going to the final day on Sunday of the global conference because Chunyi Lin said he if attended the special Lotus meditation healing then my friend would probably not need to come back for 2 more healings for his wrist. The Chunyi Lin healing in person is $145 because he has you do 15 minutes with a master healer before Chunyi does the healing another 15 minutes. Anyway so it was like a 2 for 1 deal -- $290 for 2 healings vs. $279 for the Sunday lotus meditation healing. A savings of $10. haha.
  8. thks -- yeah the sig just fell into place one day. haha. A couple of thread debates collided perfectly. O.K. part four!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-2m9AIcOU0&feature=youtu.be Sorry the audio is so fuzzy -- youtube offered an enhancement but I tried to go back to it but the audio seemed the same. The part one I chose the youtube enhancement and the audio seems better on that one.... Anyway.... it's typical cell phone audio. Not too bad. Dang it just went out at 3:35 or something -- this happened last time. Anyone know why Youtube does that? Some glitch. I uploaded 9 mns or so. Anyway so last time I reloaded it and the full upload played out. Still kind of annoying... Maybe just cause I opened a new tab or something. Oh yeah - I just logged out of my youtube account so that might have messed up the playback... o.k.
  9. O.K. I've had a couple PMs for people wanting phone healings from the SFC. Very cool. Then my brother-in-law just called -- well half-ex-brother-in-law -- asked me about how my mom got healed by qigong. haha. He said - well how does it work since I'm an engineer I don't know. haha. So he wanted to know how to contact the center and I gave him the url. Still I will be very surprised if he gets a healing. He said he'd have to try it - but sounded like he was just saying it. So I told him all the crazy stuff I could think of. I go - yeah and Chunyi Lin trained with a Shaolin master who can light things on fire with his eyes! I said - yeah most people don't believe it but yeah it's like the real deal straight out of a martial arts movie or something. I said - yeah and Chunyi even levitated up nine feet once. haha. Just tell him all the crazy stuff since he's already skeptical - I said yeah and the mayo clinic doctors tested the qigong masters using "randomized controlled" research and the results were called "especially impressive" since the people had chronic pain for over five years that Western medicine couldn't treat. But then I said -- of course the skeptics were going - I'm sure it was just a placebo or the study didn't have a proper placebo control... blah blah. Then I go - but yeah of course the skeptics don't go and test the qigong masters themselves. haha. Anyway I told him more about my mom's healing - he was intrigued - anyway I said yeah my mom woke up with more energy than normal.
  10. Non Doing

    Yeah I mean Yan Xin says how if you just stay in the Emptiness then you miss your chance when the Universe sends you an energy message -- so -- hold on.... http://fulllotusqigong.blogspot.com/2012/10/maintaining-state-of-listening-but-not.html well you all can scroll down as it's all worth reading. haha.
  11. TaiChiZen -- mass marketing through corporate training blitz

    http://twitchfilm.com/2013/04/first-poster-and-stills-for-keanu-reeves-man-of-tai-chi.html First Poster and Stills for Keanu Reeves' MAN OF TAI CHI making Tai Chi Shmexy! seriously though -- this should be a cool flick.
  12. Canadian Tar Sands Mining/Keystone Pipeline

    When I told Vice Prez Al Gore that "it was over" in regards to oil - his family oil company was trying to illegally drill in a protected indigenous area of the Amazon with the tribe threatening to commit mass suicide. The whole Western genocidal colonial infrastructure is so embedded in the modern mentality to be completely off the radar. For example Minnesota relied on wild rice harvesting as the main crop but this was destroyed by the Western utility company putting in dams. So no one even notices the lost wild rice lakes. So the damage not only keeps piling up but the effects are nonlinear and inherently unpredictable - feeding off each other. Nature can not be controlled. The weather can not even be predicted accurately -- just after a few days out -- there can be a general estimate but no real precision. Oil prices are controlled by speculative derivatives controlled by secret societies like the CIA, etc. Rational control of Nature is the real issue here -- both the environmentalists and the right wing "extractors" are living the lie of thinking they can predict or manage Nature. haha. Nature will take revenge and the lesson is very simple yet very radical. Don't mess with me. Life is a gift. Tread lightly. More importantly a person needs to really merge with Nature to learn that Nature is in control -- this means vision quest, trance training, etc. Zero population growth will happen.
  13. Qigong master Jim Nance spent 2 years in 14 to 15 countries of Africa studying with shamans the whole time. He had amazing experiences. That was in the 1980s.
  14. part 4 snipped and being saved to computer for upload.... O.K. so the last snippet is just over 10 mns! Dang! So I guess I'll splice it to two five mn parts.....
  15. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9BzN3y7vT4&feature=youtu.be Wow 12 hrs to upload that 10 mns? Crazy. Anyway there's Part 3!!!!! Onward.
  16. Non Doing

    yeah just did 4 hr meditation and the concentration of the I-thought in full lotus then put me to sleep a couple times. So we "do" during the day not realizing we are not a full "being." So action arises out of the Emptiness which is our true being. The more we go into the Emptiness the more power we have and the more truth we see and our actions embody the Emptiness as harmonious healing energy.
  17. TaiChiZen -- mass marketing through corporate training blitz

    It wud be strange if tai chi became like yoga has been -- I mean my mom goes to yoga and my sister has been going off and on - and anyway now my mom is promoting Spring Forest Qigong to everyone. She just had me print it out for the cleaning ladies. haha. My mom then handed out the medical studies of SFQ to her sorority friends when she met them for lunch. She's become this SFQ promoting machine -- it's awesome but still surprises me. But still it is definitely a miracle to see my mom like her old self again. Her voice is strong and normal like it was and her energy is strong like it was before. hmmmm. Yeah as far as mass marketing it's all about the lowest common demonimator. ummm. Also advertising is 100% tax deductible in the U.S. which means all those fancy ads are just tax deficits for social services which are made up by increasing wage taxes, etc. as has been the case. Anyway part 3 is taking forever to upload to youtube. I had a good thing going last night. Not sure what happened.
  18. Uploading part 3 to youtube -- 2 a.m. here -- so I'll check it in the a.m. after some sleep. Embed it in my blog.
  19. Bonjour (soir)

    Well Daoism -- it's a broad category. Everyone will differ slightly on what it covers as the Tao can not be spoken about. So true study involves silent meditation but then even some scholars argue the Tao Te Ching is not about alchemical meditation. So it depends but it seems most on this website focus on meditation practice as Taoism but there also seems to be what's called "folk Taoism" which is considered more superstitious by many. It depends how it's used but for example certain animal parts to increase health probably just make the animals go extinct and not really do what they are supposed to do for health. Or maybe certain rituals or talismans are just empty gestures to appease people into donating money, etc. I don't know. But personally I would recommend you read a great biography of a Taoist master trained as a "wizard" or qigong master - "Opening the Dragon Gate" about Wang Liping. But then there are tons of experts on this forum -- several people in China posting - so dig in and enjoy.
  20. O.K. saving part 3 after sniping it - so will then start uploading it to youtube.
  21. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJONhrvlB38&feature=youtu.be Part 2 !!!!!
  22. Authoritarianism - What is it?

    Cynthia McKinney takes on authoritarianism.
  23. Part 2 uploading now....Should be 2 1/2 hrs.
  24. http://sfqguild.com/ Yeah this is a new Chunyi Lin guild video - I have not seen it yet. My qigong friend is up front at the left -- tall with hat on. haha.
  25. Ur Welcome! Yeah it's so exciting! He is such an entertaining speaker and he sends energy when he talks and -- I mean I had a 2 hr plus phone conversation with him and then on that Free Friday I had a 1 1/2 hr face to face conversation with him. At one point - I never asked him to heal me - but obviously I knew that was going on. But at one point he goes - raise your arms up. And he did it to show me - like Jesus on the cross you know. Then he starts blasting me with energy. Then he goes -- um put the palms facing down. B/c he had shown me palms down but I accidentally had the palms facing him mainly. Anyway he goes - how did that feel? I'm like -- awesome!! haha. Super deep bliss heat magnetic love energy. Anyway so I wish I could share everything he said to me but it was so amazing and so personal -- still I think he would be fine with it getting out there. But the other thing is everything he says is very precise and so I would just be paraphrasing him and that would lose a lot of the meaning. I mean - like he says some real zingers that totally blast open a new way of thinking for me - and then I'm kind of stunned. haha. But when I thanked him - he said - well if things go the way I see them then I will be more thankful than you. I didn't even know how to respond to that! haha. I just kind of sit there stunned. haha. Anyway I told him it was a dream come true when he called me and -- well his brother had discovered my blog and his brother to Jim to contact me and Jim goes - "Oh I know him." haha. Anyway I let Jim down when he called last weekend to talk about my video of his talk but I was with my qigong friend who has also gotten tons of healing from Jim. But when Jim said - "don't worry about it" then I trust him to not be angry about it since he tells in this talk - he talks about Chunyi Lin telling Jim to "not worry about it." haha. Yeah - I'll see if Chunyi Lin's guild talk is up on their website yet since I missed it last weekend....
