I have recently had a revelation about the impression Max makes with people and the emphasis that is put on teachers. Max is one of the most humble people I have ever met. I say this because in light of what I have seen him do he always maintains the self-image of a lowly servant. In person he refuses to present himself as a Lama, Taoist master, or spiritual guru. Not that he isn't all of these things, because he is, but because he is very uncomfortable with the idea of being put on a pedestal. He consistently states that he only knows "a little bit" about what he teaches. He is the one who taught me that "you need a teacher to show you that you don't need a teacher." He even rejects the title of "teacher" as he prefers to think of teaching as just "friends sharing information." Because of this perspective he presents himself as a regular guy. No robes, no bowing, no caste hierarchy. The problem with this is that some people NEED TO SEE the robes and whatnot in order to value the information they are getting and respect the person who is presenting it. This is part of the human psyche. An exalted, dramatic presentation is absolutely necessary for some people because collectively we judge books by their cover. The fact is that HE IS an amazing human being. He understands the process (with all of its weirdness) of opening the body and spirit to the Tao. Let me elaborate on that last statement because there is a whole lot to it. When human beings move from a closed down mundane state to higher enlightened levels there are almost infinite variations of bodily processes and conditions one will experience. Max understands all of these. Whether it is shaking, heat, contorted yogic movements, changes in vision, the movement of energy in the body, changes in temperature, blacking out, nausea, emotional release, bliss, electrical sensations, magnetic sensations, circulation, spirit travel, etc., etc., he gets it. I have seen so many people go through this process (each in their own bizarre way) and I am always amazed by the fact that he always knows not only what they are experiencing but also how to guide them through. So if you are called to explore the methods you have read about in this forum, know that you are in the hands of an expert. He may not impress you with his appearance, but that is kinda the point. On being human: Max is human like the rest of us. His body is slightly different in its functionality and sensitivity. He prefers the mountains or desert to busy cities. This is due to the erratic electrical and spiritual energy that can be found there. San Francisco was a nightmare in terms of this because of the over head wire grid that spans the city and powers buses and trolly cars. After spending the day there the situation nearly got critical as it amped his system and cause severe inter-phasing. Inter-phasing is a condition of transitioning to a higher vibration. It can be extremely uncomfortable and even painful. It is like cranking up your own amperage. In order for Max to stave off his final evolution he cannot allow a certain type of energy to express itself. If he does not, he will shift into Dragon Body (similar to Rainbow Body). If the process is allowed to begin it will move quickly. We almost canceled the whole seminar because of this. Needless to say, Friday's talk was very strange. Max was having to try his best to speak, when all he really wanted to do was leave. Not the jovial entertaining vibe we usually enjoy. It was quite serious as we were watching him closely to make sure he was alright. Anyway, the point of all of this is to illustrate that no matter what level you're at there are challenges. It isn't easy to be here and for the sake of our evolution, it isn't supposed to be. Teachers are just people. Give them whatever respect you feel they deserve but don't ever put them above yourself. If they put themselves above you, be careful.

Just to answer many of you at once: Yes, they are doing what looks like Kunlun (Yi Gong) in the new movie Avatar. Did Max or myself work with James Cameron? No. However, one of our students is very close to him and she did work on the film. Did she influence him? I don't know, but I doubt it. Based on the design of the beings and some of the other elements, I would say James is pretty tapped in, so he probably pulled the info in by himself. Who knows? Thanks for your inquiries. Sorry to disappoint. Go see Avatar. It is amazing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

OK kids, Here is a method for quickly going into the heart and clearing what is there. Bear in mind that it is not easy. In one session it will bring you to a threshold that is both exciting and scary as hell. Leave yer kung fu at the door. It can't help you here. Enjoy. Chris RED SUN by Max Christensen This method as given to me by a hung-moon teacher in Taos, New Mexico. Sit in a chair, feet flat with your fist closed on top of your thighs. Sit for a moment until the mind is empty and relaxed. Imagine, in the middle dantien area, a small, golf ball sized ball of glowing matter. This matter looks like a hot coal from a fire. It glows and it has hot vapor around it. See it as very real within the center of your chest. Now inhale through your nose gently, enough so that you can hold your breath in a neutral state (about 2/3 of capacity). After the inhalation, swallow hard with a gulping sound, tuck your chin, but keep the spine and neck aligned. Slightly tighten the anus, so energy doesn't leak, now hold the breath neutrally. You will feel like your air will dissipate quickly, so if this happens inhale tiny amount of air, to get the neutral feeling. If you over-inflated, blow some air out. As you are running out of air, relax. You will begin to feel this implosive, shrinking feeling as your lungs convulse for air. The energy will begin to ping-pong up and down in your chest. It may feel like you are going to die, but you won't. Relax more and with your mind, see the coal getting brighter and brighter, hotter and hotter, so when you feel you can't hold it anymore, say to yourself, melt, melt, see the heat melt the body. If you can hang in this state and keep melting more and more each time the (death) feeling hits, you may feel like you are going to transition over into another energetic form. If you do it right, an orgasmic hiccup and a surge of intense bliss arises. After this, exhale slowly through the mouth and repeat twice more, but only inhale once between sets or youll lose the effect. This opens the deepest part of the emotions, so be prepared and do not do this more than twice a month......carefully. See if you can break the barrier. Max

Yeah, there are six parts to it in all.

I know Steve wouldn't have the rocks to utter a peep of his baseless slander to mine or Max's face. This is the very funny bottom line that makes me smile when he writes about us.

Wow. I find it amazing that what I wrote could yesterday could evoke such a response. Q: Who fantasizes about hitting women and dominating people? A: People who feel inherently weak. Poor guy. That would be a hard one to resolve as a practitioner. Ego stuff is the worst. Don't let someone like this bother you, folks. They have a hard time.

Really? What a strange response...

Basically when you hold this posture and can let yourself dissolve into it with a smile on your face, you will quickly experience "something". This something is different for everybody. It is completely subjective and as individual as you are. Comparing to others is nearly pointless as your body will move differently than another. In this state, you'll have activated the body's reset process. Your body wisdom will take over (if your mind allows it), and many of your tensions will begin to harmonize as mind, body, and spirit align. As this process happens, you may experience the full range of the human emotional spectrum, from amazing highs to the most personally horrible feelings one could imagine. For all of it maintain and objective mind. Watch these feelings pass like clouds before you. You have everything inside of you and that is why we say that this practice is extremely valuable, because everything YOU personally need to learn is contained within your current state. Any mental, physical or emotional blocks are in place to act as teachers. Of course, through your past experience YOU have placed them there, or more accurately, never fully processed them. This practice processes them. This is not an easy thing to go through. It is hard for all of us to look at what we have tucked away. Most can't. However, even if you have opened something miserable inside yourself, the best prescription is more practice because further harmonization can then take place. Smiling is the key. Smiling tells you that you will be ok through the process. Smiling carries the frequency of the divine. When you can breathe the energy of your own smile deeply into your heart you will have accomplished something really powerful. So, everything you need to learn is inside of you. Your lessons can be found at the center of your own tensions. The emotional source of these tensions provide the revelations. The most personally relevant revelations you will ever experience. All within. How far you choose to go into yourself is up to you entirely.

When the real benefits are discussed people don't want to hear it. They prefer to tabloid the whole thing and focus on, and blow way out of proportion, any wrong understanding of what is happening. I can tell you all day long the positive benefits and the absolutely unbelievable things I have seen and personally done, but it falls on deaf ears (most of the time) or at the very least gets glazed over in favor of drama. It is no different from the evening news. "Give us dirty laundry..." Primal fear rules this dimension, but we are working to dispel that. I would suggest that people focus on doing what brings them joy and forget all practices. Then you will have a happy life and you will be doing what the creator wants most for you because it comes from the heart (divine source). Perhaps you can check out the messages from Abraham-Hicks. The information is sound and the source is legit. If you can see beyond the "new age" veneer, you will find great guidance and wisdom.

Absolute rubbish. You don't PUT entities into people. That is retarded.

It is simply allowing the divine mind to merge with the compassionate, blissful heart while maintaining an external posture of surrender. Revelations follow.

Funny topic. Kunlun or Yi Gong (the spontaneous adjustment Chi Gung) will reveal what you have inside. So yes, you will face your demons. If you are ready and brave you will move through these illusory "blocks" and move closer to clarity and harmony. Don't let people scare with this reptilian BS. We are superior to those low level lizards and they must bow to our will, so if you come across one and you get a negative vibe, just tell it to eat your ass. I've worked closely with Max for eight years and I don't have any lizards bothering me. It is all belief systems. If you obsess over lizards, and knowing we create our reality with every thought, you will most likely manifest them into your experience. The same holds true with any fear issue. It is stupid. Victims are the ones who have choices made for them. Don't be one. You are strong and you've been everything in your past (including STRONG!). You must understand that we are all loved very deeply by those on the other side of the ever-thinning veil that lies between this world and the next. All is well. Truly.

Yeah it was cool. We have done focused practice like that where a group of practitioners sit in a circle and have someone who is sick or in need of some serious healing/balancing sit in the middle. The energy that is generated is very powerful and sitting in the middle is quite an experience. Focused, positive, loving intent. You could change the world with that sh*t. To be clear though, it was that particular scene that made our jaws drop. I am not saying I thought the movie was about "Kunlun".

I believe the Lyrans have been referred to as catlike in appearance. Yeah, I think it is triggering A LOT of things for many people. For many a feeling of familiarity and even home sickness. Crazy.

If you try the spinning for about an hour while you smile and breathe into your heart you will find out the difference between this and other Qi Gongs. The key is letting go of the mind as you feel the smile. The goal is the absolute release of all tensions in the body while surrendering to the divine. The result of that goal is a harmonization of mind, body and spirit and a greater understanding of what you are. Spinning clockwise draws the energy down and counter-clockwise draws the energy up. Swaying side to side also works and when you do that in 'feeling' mode you can actually 'swim' out of your body and go right back to your source. Like sperm to ovum. Then bask in the light of the divine. The DVD should be available within the a few months. I am not sure what Jenny is going to charge at this point. The Na'vi are supposedly very close to an actual cat-like race of et's. I've never met them so I wouldn't know. I believe their character design is a combination of this cat race and the Andromedans who are 7-12 feet tall and blue skinned. Directors at this level (Spielberg, Lucas, Cameron) are all privy to some pretty great intel. They are in an important position where they can affect the entire planet, so certain imagery can be made popular to condition the masses to seeing these things possibly in real life. In this case, 10 foot-tall benevolent blue beings. There are many stories of tall blue beings interacting with humans lately. Maybe they are to be a part of our near future. Who knows? Anyway, great movie! Great universal themes and some really beautiful and creative imagery.

No. It is the name of the spontaneous adjustment practice as given to Sifu Jenny (Wu) Lamb by her teacher in China. She and I are putting out a DVD soon to make it easier for people to learn. The practice became popularized globally after it was incorporated into Max Christensen's Kunlun system, which is the combination of Yi Gong and Red Phoenix. Both of which were two of the most highly guarded practices of Maoshan Taoism. Together they help one acheive the Gold Dragon Body or Light body. Sitting and spiraling at the waist opens the body. Spiraling counter-clockwise will allow you to swim up into the energy and spiralling clockwise will allow the energy to swim into you. Both are great experiences. Anyway, plenty has been written in this forum about these things. A beautiful example of the practice can be seen in the movie Avatar. Ahhh, divine surrender....

Yi Gong. The seated spiraling practice that opens all of your channels and allows you to more easily connect to the divine. Not exactly the same as everything else, but it's worthwhile.

For those interested in learning the spontaneous method, this will be fun. Unbelievable things have been regularly experienced at James' ranch and we look forward to seeing what happens this weekend. Hope to see you there! Cheers! Chris

I have been thinking long and hard about the subject of unanswered questions about the Kunlun practice from those who are practicing from the book and those who have studied with Max and are dealing with unusual issues. I do have a life and I am pretty busy, but I promise that I will do my best to answer sincere questions specifically related to Yi Gong or the spontaneous adjustment qi gong Kunlun practice. If you want to get into personal attacks aimed at myself or Max, your comments will be ignored. I quit coming to TTB for this reason. I do enjoy answering people's questions and am making myself available in this capacity once again. My hope is that we can keep it purely focused on practice issues. We'll see how it goes... Chris

I am surprised someone of Dr. Hata's level is so skeptical of the Gold Dragon Body state. What is funny is that Max has never mentioned it with any arrogance or to impress people. He has always downplayed it if anything, as it is just a marker along the path, not necessarily the end point (there is life after the GDB). It is not some great achievement to try to prove to people. That is the wrong thinking. There have been several cases where students in our seminars have witnessed Max in this state, so it is very real. People have even photographed him in this state. Some of you on this forum even have seen this. It is amazing, but it is also no big deal. When Kan started to go transparent at a Starbucks in Tokyo in front of hundreds of people (much to his and their surprise), Max had to instruct him on a certain type of breathing to maintain his physical state. He could not give such advice without first understanding this state himself. So, the point is that this stuff is real and I guess if you have never experienced it, it can seem like a big deal. It is not. Life goes on. Also, people always accuse us of trying to create a cult. This is the most absurd thing in the world. If Max wanted a cult he could have easily had one. He did not. If you want a cult you don't quit in the middle of creating one. Duuuuuuuuuuh. Max QUIT TEACHING to prevent having more followers. His mission was to get the methods out there and that is what he did. When it was done, he quit. Now everyone wants to audit his performance, desperately scrounging for even the slightest flaw in his approach and magnifying the significance of it to a ridiculous level. Lame. As some of you have suggested, Dr. Hata should be aware that he is coming off as a bit jealous of Max's ability and perhaps that has fueled his tirade of self promotion (ala Starjumper7) while broadcasting his alignment with Lum and Moon under the guise of defending them. I'm not sure Sifu Lum or Sifu Moon would appreciate this. I think he seems very skilled and could be quite successful on his own (like Max), without using others to make his name. I wish him the best.

One thing you must understand is that this forum is filled with rumors and has been since Max started his seminars. I have been successfully refuting the bullsh*t from the beginning. It has been a mix of confusion, jealousy and ignorance, but if you'll notice all of the people who actually know Max, defend him. Don't get sucked in. There are many who, now that Max has quit teaching, seek to destroy all the good he did. You also know Lum Sifu and you should know that this forum is not the place to be discussing these very personal matters between Max and him. Max has always tried to protect Andrew from disrespectful people and that is the only reason he said for people to leave him alone. He never told anyone not to study with him. We are supportive of Andrew Lum and Jenny and continue to work toward helping them and we will defend them to the end. They are GREAT people and a gift to this world. The elements taught were for opening the energy channels and purifying and harmonizing the bodily tensions, so that energy could flow more freely and that one's capacity for energy could increase. No spirit fighting and no martial arts were taught. As to what Max and Andrew disagree upon is nobody's business but theirs. It is a relationship that is precious to Max and one that I know he is looking to mend. All those who are not involved in this matter (which is all of you) mind your own business.

Andrew Lum is a great man and I have the utmost respect for him. He has a warm, grandfather-like kindness and I had an instant affinity for him. I am eternally thankful for the gifts he shared with the world, through Max. Most of you don't know him so you have no need to gossip about him like a bunch of bored old ladies. Please respect his privacy. Also, Eileen and I will be bringing Jenny Lamb to teach a seminar in the next few months. The profits from the seminar will benefit the creation of the worlds largest peace monument: the Bodhivastu Stupa. To find out more about this amazing project click here: http://www.bodhivastu.org Regardless of the the spew in this forum, the reality of who we are and how much we care about each other is much different than most people know. Please do something positive with your time instead of wasting it trying to slander good people.

Biff you are misinterpreting and misquoting me again. Stop it. I left here saying "PM me with any and all questions and that I would do my best to get them answered." Please get it right if you want to play. When it came to my attention that there were a couple of people here who felt slighted it bothered me (as it always does). I asked them to PLEASE email me with their problem and I would do my best to help. I got no response from them, twice. So no, it is not a lack of caring but awareness. If I hear of a problem, I do my best to resolve it. And don't talk to me about backbone. I have dealt with more unwarranted attacks than anybody here. -O- has made good points throughout and I have always commended him on that, but I had to make sure this BS about a suicide being associated with Max was clearly refuted. Now, I believe it has. Thank you -O-. So Max didn't kill anybody, Oceanside and MGD had their issues resolved and life is good again?
