Yeap, spring came on time here in Greece. Everything is waking up, (not that we had a heavy winter lol), anyway even in Athens you can tell the difference...

Yeap. I live in Greece, but no need to speak greek in an english speaking forum. You got p.m.

O.k. this is something that overpass even the wildest imagination. This guy has nothing sacred. Somebody has to kick his @#$. And I mean beat him. His "skills" wont save him. Thanks Robert for the info. I hope people will read this, and dont even think to get close to him in any way. Well, maybe only to kick his @#$.

I heard that, slowly but steadily, verdesi is loosing his followers..Who knows, maybe because of the financial crisis, the poor guys cant afford it chasing immortallity, so sad..Maybe he will have to WORK for a living in the future Z

Yea, maybe he is in level 6-7 now...maybe moved to Spain...they have many bulls there, for him to steal their chi..and advance to higher levels.. not to mention the caves there with the Spanish immortals.. Z

Hey, it seems verdesi run out of money, and his master Wang Liping is not exclusive anymore. Unfortunately for him, a lot of people made contact with master Wang, no need for fake representatives like verdesi. Behold earth creatures!!Master David got out of his cage, ready(?) to share his knowledge with humanity!! Z

Mike knows what he is talking about. Only very few of us (I dont include myself!!) would abandoned a safe life in the U.K., and relocate in a foreign place, just for the sake of learning. While we are "playing roles" in front of our p.c., some people like Mike search more. This, for me, is quite a task.Keep on Mike!! Z

Hi barka It's good to hear that you are better now. Unfortunately many people got hurt from the bullshit of Mantak Chia. Somebody must end that. He has to be banned from the chi kung enviroment. Or somebody must beat him. My advice is not to go too much inside chi kung without a guidance. Many people gone mad because of wrong training. Nobody will be immortal. Live your life, have g/f, enjoy sex. You are a young boy, for crying out loud. Z

What is that? Why do they wave their hands all the time? Why don't they launch a descent attack?Why they don't touch each other? This is indonesian dance not a martial art. I have seen silat vids in the past with vicious movements that had nothing to do with that thing..Perhaps is a cultural thing I guess.. Z On the other hand, Santiago's clip is very nice with descent tecniques and a beautiful indonesian girl performing a keris dance

I have the same problem due to excess training in sparring. Your friend should do an MRI first, to see what exactly is the problem. In most cases(including mine) it is forbidden to go to a chiropract. It might get things worst. Tell him to go to a doctor.He might have to live with that for the next of his life, so he needs to be extra caucious with training, lifting weights..

That's a good site for the evolution and universallsness of martial arts and the connection with our time http://www.pammachon.gr/old/pammachon_eng.htm

A Demon is the higher self within us according to the ancient Greek language. It has nothing to do with the later term of christianity of an evil spirit. ΔΑΙΜΩΝ in Greek is a word much much more ancient comparing to christianity Z

This kind of questions regarding not ejaculating, has emerged many times. From what I have witnessed, and from dicussions with masters and students, I have come to the conclusion that one should't worry too much. Sex is natural. It is in our nature to "spread the seed". You can find the time to meditate. You can find the time to have sex. If you deny your desire, and oppress it, it will come back stronger than ever. That's what "wet dreams" are. A chance to release the tension. Enjoy life. Enjoy cultivation. You can do both, and get the benefits. Don't be too strict with your self. We are not monks. We are people living in cities, not hermits up in the mountains. We all need the discipline of cultivation, but at the same time there is nothing better and joyful as the touch of a woman.

Hi guys, That's a very intreresting topic. I think that obssesing your sexuality, might only cause you trouble. Of course if you follow the path of internal alchemy, you need some time to be in celibacy. I think that the key words here is "take your time" By this I mean that there is time for having fun, and time for cultivating. Listen to your body. Listen to your surrounding. Here in the Mediterannean it's summer time. Warm weather, less clothes for women, libido is high up. Enjoy life. After that you can control your self and meditate. All things require their time.We are not monks. We live in the city. Your body knows. All great masters have families, and enjoying life. You have the time for everything. Don't force your body with celibacy too much. After all wet dreams are always there!! Just my humble opinion, Z

If someone take a look to few of the records that survived(thankfully) from the mass destruction that Christianity brought, we can see that in all kinds of mysteries that took place in ancient Greece, the gods or dieties were there, expressing their existance in various ways. Just like christianity's saints that appear in dreams of their followers, in the same way ,gods and godesses appear in the dreams of people. Z

Hi, Unfortunately nothing has remained from the Eleusinian Mysteries. Christianity and the Goths destroyd the last clues we had for these practices. After all, no one was allowed to talk freely about what happened in there. It was forbidden. The only thing we know is that the Demeter followers drunk in the temple a drink called "Kykeon", and then they witnessed visions about Demeter and her daughter Persephony. The ultimate goal of the Mysteries was for someone to witness death, and rebirth from that state, meaning practically that someone after that, was not afraid of death anymore. Unfortunately my friend, Christianity destroyed all the ancient mysteries of my country, leaving us with nothing. Just the ancient temples, and the statues are there to witness the ancient glory...What a pity.. z

Insightful as always Mike. We are waiting you with anticipation my friend!! Z

Hello everybody, Keris is regarded a sacred object, as Santiago mentioned. It is also a facsinating work of art, and once you are bitten by the keris bug, then it's final But it requires a lot of attention from your part.The more you have, the more attention for all of them. I own 9 of them, and they require a significant part of my time. Z

Looking forward too Mike!! Take care!! Z

A very high level...in his credit card

Just bare in mind, not to pay enormous amounts of money to certain guys in the Net. They are only after cash. A small advice would be to follow some simple meditative method (what Kostas is suggesting in his book is just fine or another one) along with somekind of internal M.A. (Northern Wu style of tai ji is very good) of the YCGF Association, http://www.ycgf.org/ Z

Yep.

Sorry my friend. I don't know. Sometimes, during summertime, some taiji guys visit greek islands for vacation+tai ji or yoga. But a regular school.. kind of difficult. Regards Zeus
