Try contacting Barry at http://www.healingtaobritain.com/index.html He may have a copy to sell you. Otherwise if it is something that attracts you you might want to spend the money and have the experience. Good luck.

Here is the title and author in Chinese: 二百五十歲人瑞實記 楊森 等著

I would better suggest you contact Stuart Olsen at http://valleyspiritarts.com/index.html I would think he has a copy, as his English book quotes him. Interesting to note Stuart mentions in his book that he practiced the Eight Brocades and not Ba Gua. Maybe another small part translated?? http://sanctuaryofdao.org/blog/files/a41cbb16b2d1f17be67ea21182c32a77-9.html

You probably have to source the book in Taiwan as it is in Chinese. You would then pay someone to translate it for you.

Hi all, I don't frequent here much but I wanted to add my 2 cents. Master Chia in my experience and opinion is a very talented, skillful, and smart teacher. I have personally witnessed him manipulating chi in different ways. I do not doubt his skills. If you want to really find out he usually does world tour workshops once a year and is in the States on both coasts during those times. Master Chia learned from his teacher from a long traditional line. He undertook the task of bringing the traditional teachings to the west. Before his books came out (1982) the only thing around was Charles Luk's Taoist Yoga and that is not easy to practice from. There was nothing else, so he was a pioneer in the west. That being said alchemy and for that matter I would say life is an experimental science. Master Chia besides also having other yogic teachers that he learned from decided to improve on his learning (most would want to too)and accumulate and experiment with new teachings that work and fit well from other different sources. So as for his books, well his English grammer isn't the best. Usually he has an editor/collaborator that does his books with him. Are there dangerous techniques in some of the books, yes. The power lock comes to mind as dangerous. Is all of the material in all the books original from him, no but most is. As to the Cosmic Healing books being plagirized, maybe or it may be so. If it is so it is not right but it still doesn't detract from him being a skillful teacher, etc. "You can make up your own damn mind." Regards.

Serious as a puking fart. You may, though I'm not sure what to share. Though I can relate an experience I had a long time ago. I had been practicing Tai Chi for a time, maybe two years. One day I was playing football in my yard with my friends. I was the kicker, and after the kick off my friend got the ball and broke through the line of everyone and it was only me left between him and the goal line. Running up to him I had my internal dialouge shut off automatically. The last few feet I stepped up to him and I did a Tai Chi posture just like I practiced in the form, I hit him without any strength/force I could detect, and he was shot up off the ground and flipped in mid air before landing on the ground head pointed towards me. It took me five minutes of forcing myself to try to restore the internal dialouge. I may have read a little bit of Castaneda's books at the time but maybe a year of two later it is uncanny to see in print some alien idea of the human internal dialouge and shutting it off and then to know without a shadow of a doubt that it can be done!

You let the secret out, btw made in China.

It is a matter of impecability. Said another way if you stop self importance you can start to accumulate energy, they will find you not palatable and flee. Though no one really knows that your mind is a foreign installation of them and not your mind. Recapitulate and intend it.

I like the painting, nice colors besides showing something out of this world. In their culture is the only way to have the visions/experiences is by only taking ayahuasca? Or is there other techniques.

I've always been curious if any other sources like Taoist etc. referenced the flyers. Not saying I am well read but I haven't come across much. An interesting similarity about something else that I've found is in 'Opening the Dragon's Gate", Wang Li Ping goes over a part of his training in a dark box and reviewing parts of his life. It sounds almost exactly like CC mentioning the recapitulation.

CC had an original that was in color but needed to be magnified to see the flyer. Hard to remember from 15 yrs ago if this one is the same. The picture in the link was originally published in a magazine article in Mexico by Tony Lama and the article was about strange things ie. flying at the temple of the sun. The manifested flyer according to CC was because of all the people there having a Buddhist ceremony that the flyers came to feast on. If you look at the attached gif, any icons look familiar?

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hi, Maybe Google "How To Treat male Hormonal Acne". Some say Saw Palmetto is helpful. If you keep at this and keep trying different methods you will eventually get one to work. Good luck. Regards.

Hi, For women I've seen acne dissapear when they take birth control pills over a few months that contain hormones like the brand Yazmin. Not sure what to suggest if you are a guy. Though this would mean it is a hormonal issue so just applying topical medications usually doesn't have an effect. I also notice the more you touch/irrate it the worse it gets. Hope this helps or points you in the right direction.

Hi, I triple that, China definitely. It's the source. Not belittling Taiwan but they don't have Wudang Mountain, Hua Mountain, etc. Also good luck. When you return please share your experiences.

Thanks for your reply. Are you able to post some of the questions asked to M WLP and their replies?

If someone who attended wouldn't mind sharing their experience it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Okay fair enough. I also agree TV is not what it is cooked up to be, I've seen the Hulu commercials, they are true. That being said about it, there is from time to time some iota of information to be gleaned from it. It seems you don't have an interest in that part, so as it is. My opinion is a collary to Occam's Razor, if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it is a duck, and more than likely not psychosomatic. But what do I know? I don't even know. Opinions are a dime a dozen, mine only adds up to a nickel. Others have asked about some things in your past. With no judgement only helping in the discussion may I suggest as a path of inquiry have you or are you into mind altering drugs or have you recently started/changed some herbal supplements?

No disrespect, but why aren't you trusting your feelings, instead of denying them through a logical mind made up explanation? Just because it is outside the box of your norm do not try to put the round peg in the square hole. I've long gotten past not believing in spirts/ghosts, due to my own experiences and tv shows like Paranormal State or Ghost Hunters, etc. They are common just like people walking on the street. It is through practices/meditation that you change your awareness and energy and then can start feeling and interacting with them. Regards and say hello to your new friend.

Either I did not clearly elucidate my intention or you missunderstood or both. Either way you have taken offense with self importance. Either way enjoy your dialouge.

I would answer by asking, " are you on the path or not?". Why would you not always practice virtue, etc.? You can be on the path everyday by doing basic tai chi, qi gong etc. If you aren't on the path figure out how to start, if you are already on then figure out the next step. There are masters/teachers here domestically but they may be a distance away (there are a few Taoists in the US). Are you taking their workshops and practicing? See yourself having a plan and progressing. If your biggest desire is not to have a mundane life then go to China and find someone then DO IT, though it will be harder if you don't speak Chinese (btw if you do go let's keep in touch). Most Taoists on Hua Shan don't speak English but you might be able to find students there or in Beijing or other places that do. It may be true that when a person is ready the teacher will appear. I've also heard internal alchemy is the process of speeding up natural unfoldment, for you if that means getting off your ass then do it, if not then have a comfortable cushion.

You did get what you asked for when you wrote, "I would like to hear about the various techniques and methods that the members use...". If you want to facilitate a dialouge then we would all very much like to hear about your experiences which will illicit more dialouge. What technique are you using now? Do you know why you were scared when blending your awareness (Do you remember what Don Juan said to Carlos when he saw his own body in dreaming?)? Have you tried what is written in the Castaneda books by putting something heavy on your belly button or using a short stick against your third eye while sitting (I think was mentioned in a Carlos magazine interview article)? Thanks for sharing so far.

Hi, you say you try to eat right but right to people is subjective. Craving means something is out of balance and you need something to balance it ie sugar. If it happens everyday then it is chronic. To fix something chronic, the solution also has to be chronic. Besides re-examining your diet you may want to re-examine your feelings/emotions to see if that is causing you to crave too. I used to like to drink soda or sugary iced tea from a can. I stopped drinking those because I noticed I always felt thirsty and craved it. I also started drinking alkaline water and after a few days the craving went away. Someone else I know likes sweets when they get emotional or bored. They would have to re-examine their emotions to stop liking sweets. So it could be a physical or emotional cause. Hope this helps, regards.
