Do we have a footage of people killing mosquitoes with Energy Emission, this just might be a gamechanger. I still find it funny how people get obsessed with one or another thing, from John Chang to Burning Napkins and zapping, as if their life depends on it. Few are thinking about long term game, from health to internal development. Truth is any ability you have becomes a norm after a few times. You do it once, do it twice, after ten times you stop caring at all. Which is a human psychology and also a way to spot charlatans, because they will present the whole thing as some mystical arts or a miracle. (ref. GM Wolf).

IF you are certain, why bother asking then. Check this guy out, I think his abilities are at least impressive.

I did not mention Faqi, in a big scale of things of spiritual development, the ability to emit Qi is nothing worth talking about. It is like you would gather scientists to prove that someone can lift a barbell. I found this whole discussion utterly pointless. It is likely that through extended training they are building such organ or an imitation of it in their body. Similarly to how you build a muscle. Of course, people cannot make a choice if they don't know of its existence. I was different because I was born with some memories of my past lives, when my peers were starting to learn the alphabet, I was sitting in Lotus and meditating, entering deep trance states. That ability to carry over through the life and death process is what has driven my search for truth. For most people, cultivation and magic are things they only find in manga and novels. I am in the process of writing a book, but who chooses this path for himself in the end, and who doesn't, I don't care. I think everyone should do what they are fit for. I do think self-development is the major goal in life for living beings, and if you are able to develop yourself in your respective field, learn new things and advance your skills, that is good enough. You should definitely avoid commitment to any teachings until you are able to tell sarcasm apart.

The amount of energy and time one would have to spend to explain and persuade a single "skeptic" would exceed the amount the said master spent to get to his level and develop siddhis. Think of a child who does not understand physics. You would have to teach him the whole thing, maybe even start from the alphabet, writing, and talking, which would take decades. People who have a lot of "self-confidence" and established views on the world, are not like children. They are closed to any new knowledge or information. They don't actively seek truth, only something to confirm existing beliefs. There is a reason nobody in esoteric circles goes out of his way to persuade the "public" to start cultivating. It could be a slight incentive or a hint about the path, but the rest is a matter of choice.

We have discussed this on our discord a while ago, you can hop in and read if you are interested.

I know John Chang had real skills, but not because of his infamous movie or demonstrations. The photos where he is meditating contain a lot of energy that can be sensed or seen. It is like when you see a person with highly trained muscle/body, you may guess that he is trained and can do some physical feats untrained person cannot.

Nope An illusionist (both of them), in some videos they are hanged, in some videos they sit on a chair, in some it is montage. You can one click remove certain objects from a video. Levitation is possible, you can buy yourself a levitating bed lamp on magnets, or ride a maglev - levitating train. But it looks different from being hanged or sitting.

We have been recently reviewing Visualization practices taught in our School. I have done some practice on the topic myself, and this is one of the reports. I took a comfortable position, relaxed myself. Looked into the sea of consciousness, formed a black cube. I have stretched the cube to take the whole screen space, about 100 meters in diameters. As an object of visualization I have chosen a movie. I have watched it about 20 years ago and barely had any memories of it. Mental Field soon started producing high quality video, I have tested sound and visuals to work. After which fully immersed into viewing process. I have not expected to be able completely recover the movie I have barely watched once 20 years ago. But the practice has been a complete success.

I, Robot with Will Smith. The downside of such practice, is that I had his face/some scenes from movie coming up for few days after. It is not exactly the memory, the movie I have seen was superior to the original, in the resolution and quality. The brain function develops with training, think of video enhancing tools you get with modern rtx 4090 cards. it is like stepping into a different world. You can watch dreams without sleeping or run advanced simulations. Some decade ago, I cheated on University exams, because I had visual picture with all the answers stored in my brain. Got 100/100 scores.

Oh, I was late. @Partez got banned. Human has 7 bodies.. the magic of a human body is that if you move your lazy ass to a gym and put it on a clean diet free of junk food and drugs, it will transform, it will change who you are and your well-being and physical capabilities dramatically. This is self-development. It is kind of absurd how a fat slob of mass can turn into a Greek god sculpture through training and lifestyle. Now, the same thing applies to the other 6 bodies; each body development has it's own perks and abilities. The physical body is the most studied and observed, as to sense any other body, you have to develop "abilities." Modern science cannot even explain why you are sleeping, and if the soul exists or not. If you want to rely on that you should forget about any spiritual development. Some perspective : Our Universe is estimated to be 7 trillion light years in size; even if you move at the speed of light, even after 7 trillion years, it won't be enough to reach the Universe's borders because our Universe is growing and expanding. But our Universe is only one out of many. Modern science models that there are at least 26.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000... other universes. Yet, here you are, exercising in futility and throwing dirt on forums because your life is boring. If you cannot cultivate, at least have fun and enjoy your life. The world does not revolve around you, nobody is going to come or "prove" anything. This is some infantile fantasy reality. We would not want people who have to be pampered, motivated, and "prove" me each step or I sit on ass, in our school. As Pak Satrio said, it was not a problem for him to find people who could emit energy as an electric current. That kind of ability is already becoming increasingly common and spreading around. Same way as there were a lot of people with extrasensory perception and empaths around. Because there are working and relatively easy practices to develop ESP abilities. From my experience, on one of the first few Energy Work practices condensing an energy ball, I had it gave a strong electric current, and it was painful to the fingers, they went numb and twisted around under pressure, and it was not like a single discharge. Teachers I had back then could not really explain it, so it just happened on its own after 55 minutes of standing still practice, without any prior knowledge. That is how long it takes to verify; there is no need to fly airplanes and strip someone to underpants (that was gay). In internal circles, all kinds of abilities are common; what is more interesting that different people have different abilities, not everyone is interested in the same things, it is just that they are not talked about and not shown publicly. What Pak John did was reckless and led to negative consequences. As far as teaching goes, even if you pay 50$ a month for ten years, that would be only $6000. It is almost twice less than a certain Daoist charge for a single few-day seminar for beginners. A single seminar where "teacher" spares you a single glance and forgets, or a long-term training where you are guided through and have access to feedback. Anyone serious about self-development had to spend a lot of money on it, including myself. Not every seminar I have visited was a success, but the financial price is still low and easily recoverable in the material world. Unlike the price you pay in terms of time, vitality, and other possible damage, that can be irrecoverable.

Good luck. Cannot wait for these 10 years to pass to see the birth of yet, another Daoist Celestial Immortal. At least his goals are not to build an infinite engine or an immortal body.

The vast majority of esoteric teachings have transmissions even if it is not publicly stated or advertised. But it does not matter how many transmissions there are and how "powerful"; the key ingredient that has to cultivate himself is the truth seeker - the student. There is no such path where you can do nothing, eat a magic pill, sit at a seminar, receive blessings, and advance forward. Being swollen with Ego or Pride of having special teachings and exclusive spiritual transmissions is a sure way to be stuck in the dirt for the rest of incarnation. Spiritual teachings are there for people to develop spiritually. Whatever belief systems or ego impressions are, those are mundane terms having no relation to spirituality. If you think that anything here is important, just look above your head in the Vast Cosmos. If you cannot verify anything through the practice, then it is likely a cult. You should be able to grow your level to verify and gain those experiences firsthand. That is cultivation. Not talk about terms read in books or taken from lectures, but discuss terms from personal practical experience. Of course, people with higher levels of development can see deeper into the nature of reality and multidimensional world. Thus, things they say cannot be verified easily but can serve as a guiding beacon for the rest. So, in any working system, there will be a step-by-step progression from simple to more advanced levels.

2+2 = ? We are living in one world, not in two separate worlds, where you have computers, video calls and other technology in one and "spirituality" in another. The only reason people don't have abilities is because they are lazy or dumb. Imagine an ape grabs a smartphone, but has no idea how to turn it on, how to charge it, and so on. There are hundreds of abilities we can develop as species, which normal (untrained) individual does not have. It takes time, It takes effort. You can see energy fields (more that regular visible spectrum), you can develop internal screen and watch movies on it or review memories of the past, you can even space travel by accelerating your energy body e.t.c.

This is a good video about martial arts. Of course there are fraudulent and completely bullshit spiritual teachings, who thought otherwise? Spirituality is much harder to measure than martial arts, so of course there are even more delusional people and delusional teachings.

To climb the mountain you need at least to be at its foundation. Most people don't have the foundation built, so they have no idea that the mountain even exists. There are things that are pointless to talk about until you have developed all the prerequisites. I am not aware of any higher being that would volunteer to be a test subject for lower beings. Spiritual development is not physical, yet you are looking for evidence that it exists in physical sparring.

Do you believe in phones, internet, radio waves, Li-Fi and other things?

If people don't see the elephant in the room, how would you trust them in the intricacies of spiritual teachings and subtle matters?

Yes, reminded me of Jaden Smith (Will Smith son) Karate Kid movie, The essence of new age bullshit teachings - defeat yourself, become a better man. The root of all delusion is inability to awaken, being unable to awaken in life people cannot get in touch with true reality, they wander from one illusion to another. Even the lucky ones, who get disillusioned and free themselves from a cult, feel relief or almost enlightenment, only to end up in another cult and another illusion.

Just because you have disillusioned yourself does not mean everyone else has. People here will protect their cults and delusions with swords and fumes coming out of their mouths (a righteous and spiritual kind of fume, of course). Imagine spending your whole life living in a certain "reality", dedicating decades to training and reinforcing it. People who talk poorly about MMA, a sport that produces fighters with lightning reflexes and massive strength, that compete at the highest level, claiming they are not real fighters because they follow some common-sense rules like no eye-gouging. Simultaneously, they promote McDojos with fragile individuals who seemingly have never seen a gym in their lives, as true martial artists. This kind of reality denial/obscuration does not lend any credibility to whatever they want to promote; on the opposite, 'internal arts' already have a terrible reputation in society.

Meat is denser and more nutrient-rich. The quality of the meat matters; if you purchase factory-farmed and hormone/antibiotic-grown meat, it certainly won't be healthy. Or if you eat "meat products" like sausages that have more soy/enhancers than meat. Animals are not saintly lifeforms; they don't appear out of thin air. They consume other living beings, which means they are also killing millions of other living organisms. In some areas, it reaches a point where if you don't hunt and kill some "herbivore" animals, they start to pose a threat to the natural habitat.

That is the problem of the broken systems, they kind of end up nowhere. Wow "I can sense Qi" - so what next? Keeping moving hands around for 50 years till you die? All these healing systems they simply don't work, they function like homeopathy on placebo and self impression. The body has self-healing mechanism, cat scratches you, you bleed - the wound gets healed, that is natural course of events, but the shameless Guru will take credit for his "SFQ" system to heal your wound. Sense Qi > See Qi (Tangible) (ESP Abilties) > Manipulate, Move Qi - Create mandalas, Charge things, influence > Alter/Transform > Materialize, Create > > > As you advance you develop abilities that allow to explore and change yourself on such a deep level, that you completely transform your existence. Internal changes bring you abilities and qualities that others cannot have. It is like getting root access on your phone/pc, you will have more power over yourself than any untrained individual.

You are not an acorn.

You will naturally be able to do that if you have developed your upper chakras, like anahata. Ofcourse if the ghosts are present in the place. That said most ghosts are Yin (dead), there are only two consequences of interaction, you lose your energy and vitality, or if the mind is weak get obsessed/possesed (mental ailment), some people also get scared that leads to damage (hole/tear) in the mental body. Most systems stop at that point, and don't go further.

@Sleepy Bluejay You have been reading too much wuxia novels. If you actually practice ancient arts, things will look much different. Practical experience is always better than any theory crafting sessions. I have met a lot of people who are into wuxia, cultivation novels, mangas, stories, but for some reason, they never understand that they can cultivate in real life. Develop abilities, internal energy and special qualities. Death only "looks bad" to the Ego because the Ego grasps to sustain itself. It's similar to parasitic larvae in your mind that try to draw attention to stay alive. In reality, achieving immortality for the Ego or the body is a "fool's wish." Being stuck in an eternal prison is the same as immortality. Genuine Immortality differs from what people typically think it is, as they are influenced by Ego desires and selfish delusions. For example, consider wearing a t-shirt. Eventually, it wears out from use and washing, and you go buy yourself a new one. Would you want to wear the same t-shirt for 80 years in a row? I bet not. It's a good idea to change it once its service time is up and get a fresh new one. For an Immortal cultivator, life is the same. They change bodies and get reborn, but for them, it's not a dramatic change; it's just like changing a t-shirt. For everyone else, it's a tragedy because they are getting discarded, destroyed, and replaced.

Utter incompetence. It might be more of a question for their teacher, Mark Rasmus, as they both seem to be merely parroting his broken teachings. I guess MR learned all he knows from books, because he is literally selling a course called 40 lessons of Bardon Hermetics, which comes from Bardon book, the book which is full of errors and mistakes. What I find amusing in this entire story is that the methods they teach are based entirely on imagination, which turns it all into a case of projecting — an imaginary lineage that does not actually exist with imaginary chinese teachers, imaginary martial arts practices, imaginary results, imaginary internal arts, and many other elements are both imaginary and cultish. People make progress inside imaginary realm, while in real world all they get is an ego growth (implosion) and mental ailments. So far, I have seen more negative results than neutral. There is not an ounce of evidence regarding any abilities or spiritual progress in any of the students, senior teachers, or even themselves. You cannot build a foundation in internal arts based on lies, deception and cult belief. However, there are thousands of documented instances of them running persona-based cults and engaging in deceptive, misleading practices. I am not sure, why they are still being mentioned in commentary discussion to any of the internal practices. Here are 2 latest things, I got in the DMs. Test your critical thinking, do you see a problem here?
