Do you have a source for this? good question; I'd also say chapter 25 of the T.T.C. points that way. that particular part of the quotes wording that you copied is problematic to me in that mind in itself does not reveal the Tao or transcendent but when clear and still the Tao works (comes to manifest) right through it without any veiling, thus in such a case mind is a matrix for and with zero resistance to such working. also chapter 15: Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself?” 孰能濁以靜之徐清？孰能安以久動之徐生？

Nice! Well in the 80's I got pretty confident with a staff by imitating Little John of Robin Hood's Merry Men and Donatello of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Then in the 90's I learned Tai Chi from David Carradine and Kam Yuen. https://youtu.be/IIIrb5vxmcQ In the 2000's a coworker saw me randomly standing in horse stance during a break. He later confided in me that he used to teach Ving Tsun in the Moy Yat lineage. I spent the next few years learning as much as I could from him. After that I focus on internal training, taking Qi Gong correspondence courses from Hu Xuezhi on Mt. Wudang, and Dr. Wu Dhi on Miami Beach. Since 2020 my practice continues to be a Neigung transmitted by Daniel Kim, the disciple of Yang Style Tai Chi Master Gabriel Chin.

In the meantime it only takes vigilance and a little skill with netting to capture a Yuanqi on its way down from Mingmen. It knows enough on its own to combine with Jing to make lead. Employing Duragon to stack lead, and Tigeren to lick mercury, maybe considered MCO as much as building a computer can count toward running a program. If you don’t believe me, check Cui Gong’s notes on the mirror.

Right, I am off now to practice new kung fu move: Abbot phone-whips monk

All day.

ok i apologize for being a little quick to the punch back there. I've seen a lot of the thing Maddie explained where something posed as a question, but amounts to "why do you believe the wrong thing?" inevitably ends up in an exasperated facepalm. I don't think anyone is saying that it does. This. This right here might be at the core of a majority of vexation with regards to the topic. For individuals who have not personally experienced a significant enough decoupling of the societally enforced equivalency of the two, i guess i can see how it might be inconceivable that such a thing even exists.

so is is true what they say about 牢固封闭?

I meant that i was not talking about the visual imagery of the video but rather the informational content that was being discussed, itself capable of being received by audio. do you mean to the one other place i have recently linked a youtube of him discussing the location of acupoints, in a thread about the location of an acupoint? Yes, i like to provide sources for information that i found useful, in the event a reader might be inclined to follow through and actually receive said information for themselves. especially when they could have spent that time jumping to conclusions based on preconceived notions and making pointless accusations. you seem to know an awful lot about those.

Thats crazy. He has a lamp above his head i wasn't talking about in the video itself. I was referring to the energy field he described, that is able to interact with the nerves and qi of students to literally guide internal movement. I posted it in this thread as i wondered if a similar thing happens when Zen masters sit with someone, albeit at a more subtle level since they're not building and shaping qi but mind. So do you think he is hallucinating being able to move qi? Or worse he's putting all this effort into deliberately ripping people off just to be able to buy more whisky and cigars?

It was neat to hear him speak about direct transmission from a qigong perspective. Beyond the obvious benefits of in-person learning, there always seems to be this extra level of "stuff," depending on the teacher. Even given a strictly pragmatic explanation of somatic empathy, there really is a lot of potential in purely sitting and experiencing.

For schools that emphasize just sitting, do they generally practice in groups, or is sitting in solitude considered equally effective? What about sitting out amongst nature? The power of koan to knock the mind offline might be intended as an anesthetic. Less useful in and of itself unless the doctor is there and ready to operate. This thought occurred to me when listening to the following video. While Damo will be the first to deny he is any kind of enlightened, he do be emitting some light.

for someone who claims to have manipulated physical reality with your mind, this seems to be a bit limited of a perspective..

the look of slightly concerned bemusement that my pet cat gave me while this video was playing is absolutely priceless 😂🥰

The 9th book, likkutei Yirah, is now available for download.

For anyone interested in Kabbalah, Yirah has released his fifth book for free. Sefer Yirah 5 - The Book of Ascension (mediafire.com)

While not specifically about mingmen, this talk is helpful in describing the opening of points. There are valid differences in the process of precision location used for the purpose of needling, versus connecting it up from within.

I was always fascinated by the way text behaved in dreams. I found out that instead of fruitlessly trying to focus my eyes on the symbols, i could just sort of ask the paper what it was trying to tell me

except that Yae had been a member since 2013, had already taken the instructor-led lineage route, yet still was striving for something greater. as @Taoist Texts pointed out, sealing the leaks includes not only bodily processes, but moreso the field of awareness. Maybe getting banned was meant to be, as part of the process of removing attachments 🤔

if your not in a position to enroll in an established lineage you can request visitation by ascended master. if all you are meeting is ghosts just keep purifying to attract attention from higher up. can do purely xing e.g. constantly reciting scripture and doing authentically good deeds. or refining ming like standing in horse stance for six hours a day. find a balance that works for you. something might be worth a try, if it looks good to you, sit in with the free xiao yao pai sessions, if there still on, and see if anything comes through.. https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/55100-free-healing-activation-for-neidan-xiao-yao-pai

I remember listening to a Scholar Sage Podcast a few years ago where DM talked about practicing near a body of water, that it's not good for when you need to build up and store qi, as some of whatever you generate is going to get absorbed right into all that water.

yeah! I notice a lot of times (肝 gān) is used like "guts" even today. To have a gut feeling, or make a gutsy move. Guts are organs, like livers, but we know what it's talking about a little different. btw you dont have to wait until after-death to use them, that is an urban myth. in the Light body frame of reference, most stages are overlapping to certain extents

Off-topic Doing qigong, I was in my best health. I never knew I could be so healthy, everything was in balance, in a snap the pain I never knew disappeared, it was like all the irregularities in my physical body just vanished. Maybe some people haven't experienced a healthier aspect or it takes time or nothing happens, maybe it was not for them, does not mean qigong is a placebo. Most qigong is going to be the perfect surrogate for climbing trees. Humans' bodies function great when maneuvering around in branches to get the fruit, nuts, and eggs. Also living in caves or underwater are good, too. The gym style exercises of today don't offer the same level of twists and stretches in all directions. Unless maybe a jungle gym. Can you meet the challenge of climbing trees? There was a time when every kid on the block could do it. Doesn't matter how out of shape you are just start at the bottom and try again every day you will make it one centimeter at a time. This might just sound like a novel take on the standard "qigong make you healthy, which usually also feels happy," but there is something deeper if you ask me. In the larger-frame spiritual life cycle, the Earth body is a stage comparable to a larva. It develops tensegrity in order to properly interact on an energetic level. The more it can do this, the better "wings" will work in the next stage.
