Released: Seeking the Master of Mo Pai: Adventures with John Chang by Jim McMillan
mr R Fairchild replied to Thunder_Gooch's topic in General Discussion
The book of Jim is a wonderful gesture of integrity, power and generosity! Some people judging him for his wonderful act of sharing his journey and knowledge shows extraordinary stupidity from the inability to grasp what Jim has repeatedly explained in the book about his motivation: he feels in a way our time on this earth is only transitory and that one should see things larger than fearing some pissy angry ghost.The times of old traditions' rules is over, times are changing, all linneages are opening now, there is no time for secrecy for humanity's survival as spiecies is at stake. We either become one with the aspects of ourselves that go through and beyond matter (thus reclaiming the ability to feel connected and to feel for one-another) or we perish. In this context Jim is doing the right thing caring for humanity: it is not only about mastering a magical "martial art", it is about reclaiming the god-given faculties that humans are capable of, that for millenia have been obscured by the very same pety, cerebral, rigid egomania that we can have a taste from some judgmental individuals. Not to mention that "spirits" and ghosts are often EXTREMELY manipulative entities mostly intent on things like exctracting emotional energy from people, and if possible, as a long term manipulation. They FEED on this type of dependencies! They are extremely low on the type of dazzling energy human beings have so they need to extract it from humans in terms to materialise and manipulate aspcets of our world. This book makes me understand why the Seers of Don Juan linneage (present day Tensegrity practitioners), after seeing energy directly concluded that man's abslotely primal priority should be dealing and ridding of the underpinnings of the Ego, then the rest. The Australian Dickhead boy's vanity and egotism described in the book are mindboggling!! It is good that such people do not get any actual power of energy because their ego wants them to search for quick gratifications! Even if you give to such a dick plainly the very steps of practice for all the levels they still will just rejoyce on the novelty and feel "exclusive" for a time then just turn those steps into a mere mental inventory and never practice them. This is why it is very safe to let it in the open now--only sincere and devoted practitioner would sustain continuous practice for years. Once don Juan was asked by Carlos Castaneda "what is 'discipline' for the Seers?". He said that "discipline" is the ability to hold a long term sense of awe with a given activity. Jim is wonderful example of such humble sense of awe, i say it again and again but it is really moving and contageous to see how he cherishes this practice and path, doing his best each time and even more. Go and get his book on Kindle, it is a very sincere and generous account. There are wonderful hints for your practice in there too.. You don't need much to start! Along those lines, Don Juan used to tell Carlos Castaneda when he was still arrogant 'academia' man: "you think you are soo superior, so sophisticated yet you never in your life have held your breath for a second...!". Suck from the both sides, hold your breath in terms to ignite this mix compressing and see what happens in the long run--for example, that's enough practice material for years to be cultivated--i find Jim's book has several bits of similar practical value and he certainly must have more in store for us as he progresses--so couldn't you guys be grateful (to the few nasty judges)? Before, and while, you go on ANY enrgy cultivation or martial path: always strive to decrown the ruling ego. Otherwise no matter what you do and achieve will cause pain to others. Power with! -
The book of Jim is a wonderful gesture of integrity, power and generosity. It is hard to believe the nasty petiness of coments above. Also people citing "sets of rules" of practices and traditions they know strictly nothing about, while showing complete lack of kindness and respect to those who went out of their way to share more about these practices with others. It also shows extraordinary stupidity from the inability to grasp what Jim has repeatedly explained in the book about his motivation: he feels our time on this earth is only transitory and feels that one should see things larger than fearing some pissy angry ghost. The times of old traditions' rules is over, times are changing, all linneages are opening now, there is no time for secrecy for humanity's survival as spiecies is at stake.

This is so delightful reading this book! i'm in the middle of it! A moving account of a sincere being. Will be back with feedback once i finish reading it!! And for those that ask about the (most essential) Yin part of Mo Pai: this is (as far as my feeling goes) NOT the "yin chi" of chi-gong. It is rather what the peoples from my family call-- The Enrgy Body. The energy body joins the energy field of the everyday body through the Pirineum. In our tradition we say that a lifetime achievement is when a practitioner succeeds to join the Energy Body and its Twin (the everyday body) as a SINGLE UNIT. When this is done a man becomes a SEER--sees energy as it directly flows in the universe. The Energy Body is a field, an "environment" of sorts that vibrates differently from anything in the everyday world--even Time passes differently in this field. They told us for decades that once this Energy Twin of us is accessed and surfaces in the everyday world anything is possible--this field becomes a vehicule/environment for forces to be projected, will and intent to be applied in a non-linear way that defies the rules of the solid world. Those Seers told us that since this Energy Body (think MoPai Yin, not chigong yin) vibrates with a different rate than the energy field of the everyday world and body (think Yang) then something as a current/draft can be created when compressing or mixing these two together, the way when two rooms with different air pressures/temperatures create current of air when joined through opening a door in the middle. Those Seers say that when they see the totality of man as pure energy they see the energy field of the ordinary body as a sphere and then the energy field of the Energy Body Twin BELOW it as another sphere, starting from the middle of the body down. Those two spheres are compressed togethr to form an oval unit, however...everyday man rarely, or never, accesses the lower sphere (energy body) consciously, let alone to compress it with the field of the everyday body as a single, conscious unit. In sleep, extreme events however, when the inner chatter is shut and the "world stops" then there is a space for the energy body to surface sometimes and some out of ordinary deeds are performed beyond the understanding of the experiencer... What keeps the energy body at bay are several factors, one of which is the fact that all of the energy man has is spent on selfconcern-related worries and inner chatter dialogue. The moment this dialogue is suspended, the moment the vibrations of the Energy Body suddenly can find 'space' and be felt. It is enough to think all the time and not breathe to never ever feel ANY vibratory feeling of the energy body. The seers say that when the two bodies join (and some of you have felt this already!) there is a third force that IMMEDIATELY kicks inbetween them: the vibratory force of Intent. Intent is a conscious abstract force that pervades everything through the universe into Infinity, some call it God... When we overcome our endless being consumed by "me" and our two energy bodies join together in a single unit, then our individual intent starts to merge with Gods intent and we become players and actors of the impulses of Infinity, fulfilling its designs (instead of turning in endless routine day after day). There are forces that have rendered us sedate and docile and peevish, ever divided, and this state keeps the two bodies at bay unable to merge. The two bodies merge through a window of the pirineum, a window of critical ammount of inner silence/breath, etc... I'm only very very excite to share this (though some may be familiar with those Seers' views and practices) because nothing in the world comes as close to those Seers practices & views as Nei Gong. Now i understand why this seer woman was talking to us some 20 years ago about Nei Gong (and she didn't just mean "something eastern chi-gongish-like). Anyways talk to you laters friends, will be happy to share feedback from the book once i have finished reading! -

Master Nan & Bill Bodri - circulation being a waste of time
mr R Fairchild replied to nomad's topic in General Discussion
It's so wonderful to put your attention on some part of the body and in not time at all feel it suddenly becoming lively with the vibrant tingling and warmth of the Energy body, then soon feel this extending beyond the limits of the body while in the same time a rejuvenating stream of energy is finding its way from the place you had your attention before to the part of the body where it's fixed now... Strangely enough, one of the gates to awareness of the energy body is becoming silently aware of the physical body itself since "normally" in the 'solical order' accent is put mostly on the head and the sexual organs (the two extremities of the trunk). Go in any country and look at the leading journals and almost always the themes are "brain", "sex" "sex", brain", or: "sex & the brain" or "the brain and Sex"... ...may-be i'm wrong about this but that's my impression. So, bringing the attention (and thus vibratory awareness of the Energy body, or chi/qi or whatever one may call it) back into the whole body decrowns the exclusivity of the head and awaken the body energetically. To my feeling we can only be grateful to those who have mapped the body energetically. We are trapped in this realm in our bodies and we cannot deny it. I feel our challenge is to reawaken and reclame the full energetic capacities of our bodies and turn them into what they are really: most magical things. Some shaman said once: "all the wonders and magic are in the body itself oyu only gotto calim its powers, it can be a powerful radar, it can be a shotgun, it can lift off piercing through gravity, it can heal others...". It just is not an obstacle. Naturally a physical body should be able to turn into pure energy and back to body by will. But somehow we became trapped into a "solid" phisical vibratory level of worldview and this is not because we have a full awareness of our bodies as a total energetic unit but rather because we haven't. We all know that feeling the energy fibers in the body consistently transcends sooner or later into feeling the energy fibers extending beyond the body: thus matching the fibers without with those within. I'm sure most of you know that from the midsection of man extend fibers that connect man to everything outside and through which you can affect things and matter in sometimes strange ways. A key thing to becoming aware of these fibers in the lower disc is to start by simply 'listening' to the energetc vibrations there or later trying to sense your surroundings from there--just one example of how focussing on a 'local' part of the body can bring awareness of some of the most important features of our energetic beings. Many know about the midsection as simple energy-storing place but that's only one side of it. Another similar example is developing the sense of the energy fibers of the feet and calves, then intending awareness of extended fibers from there and feeling your surroundings with, let's say, your calves. Like, you can try to sense your neighbours through the wall. All those practices don't mean that they should be practiced amidst mental chatter or with mood of obsession or ambition... Many of us were even OBLIGED to start to purposefully circulate energy and open channels because of disease: there was a problmem IN the body, and as a blessing in disguise, claiming the magical capacities of the body itself became the solution! In the same way: one doesn't need to be sick, but just as sickness is a limitation we may see the "normal-solid-only-worldview-reality" as a limitation and thus get spurred/inspired to re-claim the full magical capacities of our bodies as a total energy unit! The body is there, full of memories, full of judgements, emotions and distortions--all this TRAPPED ENERGY. We need to deal with this and liberate this energy setting the fibers of our bodies luminous with awareness and fluid again. If we don't do this, we can go to our "blissful samadhies" to our hearts content but the moment we get back into our physical bodies we are again the same asshole because of this trapped energy and distorted fibers that program and trigger our routinery responses to the everiday life world outside. So, i feel, it should be seen as a joyfyl challenge that one can't deny or ignore. ...i think it's like polishing a concave mirror for a telescope: they do it slowly, delicately and with consistency--every day, every day! Probably it is true that many turn it into a narrow obsession (i get the enrgy to circulate, then i get powers, etc.) but that's not because of working with enegy in the body it is because of our habit to turn everything into an "end" that will justify all our means & "doings"... ...i feel it should be left openended, buzzing with "not-doings" rather than "doings", with sense of exploration, awe, elegance and lightness... while consulting the vibratory vibrations of our Being at all times... like some Lao Tzu said (paraphrase): "A good traveller is not intent on arriving.." Kind of like, it's the journey that counts not the destination. If it were the destination that counts then the discourse would be: "oh oh, what do i do to get there! oh tell me what to do give me the phone number of your teacher only he'd know what i need to do to 'get-there'..." All these folks talk about doing this not doing that, but the feeling of the vibration of being is the primordial, if its not there no doing will help. And it's first felt in the energy vortexes of the body... Maybe it's not what you you're DOING, it's rather how are you BEING -

There are two ways of interaction in the world of the 'social order' we live in: Power Over & Power Under in the last ego-dominated 3or so thousand years of our history... * those who rid themselves of the Pain Body (see how in the long post above) are free from the 'social order' (in this world but not of it) for the social order is a distortion of our energy fibers within, it is not something that just affect us from outside--the ouside stuff only triggers this distortion/pain body within. Those who are free from this can relate and interact in a third way, beyond the binary 'social order' powerover/powerunder duality, this third --many of us fee--way is the future evolutionary way of humanity, it is: Power With * * *

Pranaman, i feel you hit one of the most crucial questions! First i'd like to ask: Do you think it is the situation/event (a happening outside) that it is the core of the problem or it is something inside you/us that's the core? Probably you will remember on two occasions being terribly emotionally affected by a given situation, and then at another time and state being completely "teflon" dettached from a very similar situation. What i'm trying hit at is that our being is luminous sphere with billions fibers converging into it. The most crucial knowledge the ancient Seers discovered is that what we feel, think, perceive, sense...depends on a small sellection of those fibers that is lit even brighter: a focal point of sorts, they called it the Assemblage Point. The most amazing thing is that this point can move and even a minor shift creates completely different view of the world (mood, feelings included). A further shift can get you even into a totally different world... So, armed with the knowledge that what assembles our perception can be moved we will seek a strategy of moving the Assemblage Point at times when we sense that we feel inside the precourser signs of difficult interaction. First we may want to "map" in a very consise notes to ourselves what are the signs, body position and inner dialogue of such a state. Can be: lack of breath, squinted eyes, feet frozen cannot feel the Earth, mental loops of judging the other or ourselves, etc. Once we have noted those we have actually tracked the signature of the position of our Assemblage Point that accounts for a misaligned energetic state where we are dettached from everything. Now, those Seers noticed that when the assemblage point is square on the surface of the sphere it is trapped in a view of selfreflection. If the point shifted even very gently away from this position one felt reconnected with the Universe and dettached and humorous towards thier own 'me's and those of their fellow men. From the Dettached View they saw all the folly of human conflict as humorous to the point of grotesque. So we are going to use a strategy to move the Assemblage Point away from the misaligned position. To do this we will apply the strategy of Not-Doing: we figured out our signature position of misalignment--like in mycase it is shoulders slightly rise towards the head, eyes tense, no breath at all, inner dialogue: "how did she dare to treat me like this, she will see, i'll show them, i don't deserve that" blablabla (just example...). At this point we apply a key notion of these Seers--they discovered that each habit or habitual position of the Assemblage Point needs ALL of its features in terms to have power over us--if only one element is missing the integrity of the whole structure of the habit is weakened and this gives a chance to shift! To introduce an element foreign to the habit's set of elements and doing is the act of Not Doing. Not doing is very useful because it is almost effortless (since it is only one element change, not the whole thing) but very effective! For example from my signature position i may simply introduce the Not-doing of deep calm slow breath, or gaze with relaxed eyes, or feeling the earth with my feet and connecting to it. And suddenly you will have the power and extra-energy to not-do the doing of the reactive self always ready to defend itself or enter into conflict. This Not-doing will suddenly then transfere to the other person because they will sense a moment of delicate silence and softness that will fill the moment there where before it would have been filled in with instant reaction... ...but the most powerful piece of knowledge, i feel, is the knowledge about what Eckhart Tolle calls the pain body. Basically the pain body is energetic residue of entangled energy fibers that became entangled troughout difficult interactions or experiences. Most of the time it may sleep but certain events trigger this conglomerate of entangled energy and it feels very very irritating and makes us want to be hurtful to the other or to ourselves. It is like an entity by itself that feeds on pain. It is of course in a position of the assemblage Point and besides (and along with!) the abovementioned strategies one can apply the strategy of Presence, or, Dissolving the Pain Body. This is derived from the following piece of knowledge: your pain body first starts as a silent emotion. Its huge trick is that it will instantly push you to start a inner dialogue loop in your head. Then you suddenly identify with this myserable inner dialogue and instead of being dettached you feel myserable. This is because the pain body trick us to identify with the 'little unhappy me' that is producing this inner dialogue. What the pain body cannot stand is Silent Presence. All it wants is mental loops. These mental loops in turn produce even more than the innitial negative emotions, those in turn produce even more irritating unhappy mental loops, and so on until we are drained. Then some entities feast on our enrgetic outbursts...but that's another theme So, the strategy with the pain body is: the moment you start to feel the negative emotion arrising you just watch it with silent, gentle presence...without judging it. You just know it is the pain body and not you. So like this you deny the pain body it's need for inner dialogue and the consequent negative emotions that it feeds on. The gentle silent presence disolves the pain body: it disentangles the fibers and frees the trapped energy. Besides, it gives us an ability to stand the irritating emotions of the pain body without reacting and with gentleness and we can then apply this ability towards others' pain bodies, thus not creating a chain reaction out of a given situation but rather gently letting the pain body disolve. You can still speak out in a strong voice when needed but it is not with the intent to hurt: you have agknowledged that the other too may be taken by their pain body at this time and it is NOT who they are, not their true beautiful being! Good luck! Surely will practice with you all this ! p.s. in the long term the pain body can be made to leave alltogether, but even early in the process you will suddenly find that the world and those around you become more sweet and cooperative, that situations and circumstances arent that hostile (i'm sure they were not hostime to you at all time, just talking in general). It is because with the extra enrgy that was trapped and now freed, you true being will start to shine through and people will feel it (often in a subliminal way...) and so will the Universe! If challenges come be light and humble and self-humorous ! the trick, they say, is: every failure is delicious failure: never to judge yourself or get disappointed if you fail: when the warrior falls she/he gets up and continues --like the great Tao writer said: it's not the destination that counts (not an "end" result), it's rather the journey:)

We could intend him back, and then i'm sure he'll be back in one shape or another For example, we can do it in the following way--through the strategy called Exmining Intent: one strives examine all of his words and actions to see what is the underlying intent behind them. Are they stemming from the "me", from the ego with it's desperate desire to divide and appear "exclusive" and "superior" or from the heart in mood of friendliness and including others? If one does this, they say, the multitude of their words and acts form a cohesive intent and the collective positive mood gains integrity... i think like this we can create nice atmosphere where we can communicate and support eachother. * * * Here is one more video from the same energy practitioner. Basiacally (from my rusty russian comprehension) he has opened channels, spent time to move a sellection of energy ("ball") trough the channels by will, then connects with the "firy" forces in the univers, summons them while projecting a very focussed Intended image of the final result on the object he affects. He insists that he doesn't use his own energy but orders the firypart of the universe to do it. Gets tired in a while and needs to recharge. The key thing is: one needs to bring in the game the Energy Body, and the enrgy body comes only through opened centers and without the Energy Twin there is nothing, and the Dream Body doesn't come if one hasn't cultivated a very palpable and stable ability and bulk of Inner Silence. This, you may know better than me, is because what keeps our Energetic Twin appart is the incessant flow of energy the way it circulates to form the "everiday-life" view of the world: which is mostly the head and the inner dialogue, a view of selfreflection. To interrupt this dialogue is to disrupt this flow and to redirect it, thus creating space for the Enrgy Body to pop in. It only waits a moment of silence and there you are: suddenly you feel its gentle tingling in and around you... My point is: all these give us so much "material" for months of delicious practice and if we don't do this practice no "master" can help us or transport us to awareness You may guess it but these type of evolution starts to happen just about everywhere and some are worried that fluoride in the water and mercury vaxines won't hold this welling wave too long for CRITICALL MASS is growing by the hour and the monkeys are somewhat more than 100 now... Have you ever thought what a little Puckered-Lips-Capricious-Prince-Poop-Studied-with15bestMasters-specialsecret-Foundation-Clown would do if we are all interconnected in (for lack of better word) telepathy--hahaha What is amasing is that they go to learn from Pak John the "exclusive" stuff, the stuff that will give them illusion of being "exclusive" beings compared to the other, but they don't learn the egoless humblness and kindness of this beautiful being! The fact is that WE ARE CONNECTED and our ego's stand on the way to this connection to come to life! and we start to claim the awareness of this alive link... anyways, the little video here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/hnfkl5 -
Hello all the beings here! It was a happy finding to come across this place! I'm Rossin Fairchind. I will be happy to be here to help others who may have any questions about perception and energy from the perspective that is the view from here. Also i will be happy to see things from others' perspectives and take some help if/when needed. I am not at all impressed by "special powers" (although, as many of you, am on a passionate quest of reclaiming what is humanly possble...) but am very impressed by things like this shine of kindness that we can see in the eyes of Pak John in the vastly spread video. I feel energy is energy and one should be very careful to not fall into the trap of the labyrynthical mind that forgets that labels and words are only pointers to energetic facts (in the best of cases) and thus there are no "priviledged" or supperior traditions. Thus we all together are the pieces of a mosaic/puzzle that have to come together and JOIN FORCES and share the full picture with eachother for time is pressing, some dark global intentions are working their lethal predatory agenda and many of us feel that we don't have much time. There are changes in this this world right now, a rising wave of unprecedented changes. We either have to learn to support eachother in affection and lightness--in an interconnected tensegrity structure of communicating members, or we are doomed to perish....this is the feeling in the very core of the beings of many of us... The time of secrecy and the model of pyramidal structure of divided members is up. This paradigm is no longer effective and functional in the face of the changes we are entering. In a pyramidal structure the highest awareness is at the top and the members who are "low" and divided between themselves (as if in a Panopticon) are striving, climbing on top of eachother to reach for the 'higher level'. This implies that awareness and awe are sought outside of one's own being... Time has come that every being is going to claim awareness and full potential WITHIN their BEING! Teachers in our times will be what they really are for: guidance. It's us who have to do the work to rid of the social order embroidered in our very energetic fibers. We will breath it away setting us free! This place have a fine feeling about it.

Jim, thank you for your presence and gentle generosity! share please about what ways do you use to submerge items in Yin field, i'm sure everyone will find it interesting. Some do it by sheer intending, others (as in the clip below) "suck off" grabbing and inhaling prior to projecting the Yang so that they would put a momentary stress in the unfiformity of the fabric of the vibratory force that holds energeticaly things together. This "vaccum"/stress is probably filled with the practitioners' dream-body (Yin body) field for the purpose...that's hwta it looks like: like this?(see clip below, a energy practitioner from Kazahstan, if i'm not mistaken): http://rutube.ru/tracks/964413.html?v=18ca...efafdee07e0020e * * *
