Nip it.

Once you’re able to astral travel, where will you go and what will you use it for?

Good question. Let’s move on. How are things going lately in your part of Australia?

Thank you Nungali, and I agree with what you posted. also, my post was not directed towards you or anyone else in particular.

today my understanding of Chinese martial arts is that it functions the same as pretty much everything else. Jenny Lamb posted this earlier today: Opportunity belongs to those who are ready for it. Later, she added; My advice is to believe in karma. Do what is right and don’t expect what you can exchange it for. Only a giver can truly gain. Letting go all attachments you will obtain true freedom in life. There is nothing that she said, I would argue against. Being the jerk that sometimes I am, I suggest that all along the path, opportunities will present themselves. Opportunities appear in all kinds of forms. One does not get to pick and choose the nature of the opportunities or the timing. You are either ready or not. The whole universe watches. If you believe that your training, your style, is what determines outcome or fate, I suggest you reevaluate. Because that is dogma. The fight does not always go to the strongest or the clever one. The race is not always won by the swiftest. along the path it is known that sometimes the karma runs over the dogma.

Please post a video of you executing this movement. Also include the “look” I know it will become an instant classic! it will be one of those rare things that will be talked about for years to come among bums. edit/ removed the word “and” I had misspelled it anyways, snd

Disclaimer—I do not have a complete understanding of Chinese martial arts. With my present level of understanding, without thinking too much about why a look and a fart were chosen, I will take the spear, since no one else seemed to want it. Also understanding that if the look and fart were code for “look I’ve got a gas operated firearm” my spear may still work if they didn’t have bullets. And I didn’t recognize any code suggesting they have.

I do not i chose to use your military reference as an example. I didn’t say, you are wrong, military is actually for shortening lifespan. Which would’ve been in bad form on my part. And it was just a convenient type of thing. Also, I hid a few posts to slow down any momentum towards a possible dojo war mentality exchange. So, no sanctions given. Just a friendly reminder to all, that some lines shouldn’t be crossed IMO if you’ve done this sorta thing in the past/ call someone wrong or a fraud/ don’t do it in the future on this forum

Play

ya’ll think that the military’s goal is to prolong life? interesting perception. it is ok to say something like “your understanding, experience, opinion, is different than mine” speaking in absolutes; you are wrong, I am right, labeling others as frauds, etc is sanctionable On this forum.

will light some incense and send positive healing energies your way injuries happen along the way seemingly sometimes at the most inopportune moment imo it’s just another form of test the journey along the path isn’t easy; just worthwhile

with energetics, a main harm risk is backlash, whichever training one undertook. Thank you for acknowledging your teacher & lineage. congratulations on your future endeavors of continuing that line. ouch! damn, you've had a run of health misfortunes that you've shared with us. I pray you find relief from your pain and limitations. I will echo your plug for the AG site. There will always be critics and arm chair critics, juvenile remarks etc those I would ignore, the ignorant or the haters will always be there. I wouldn't let it deter what I was trying to convey. I hear ya. There was a new bum on here recently complained about the price of lessons from a teacher that he wanted the material from. I was thinking really?? WTF, you want the knowledge and path to skill from a particular master but don't wanna pay the master's price, which BTW is worth every penny. Priceless actually. But I digress. Teaching is also useful to increase one's own skill level. It is worthwhile on so many levels. Years ago, I used to teach. Traveling to different parts of the country, mostly, in the south, little seminars and such. Fun times. My areas of focus went purely to the energetics. So, while teaching martial arts and/or for basic health benefits is worthwhile and useful; I decided to step away from that to play with the energetics full time. fa jin fa qi fa shen especially the latter, and fa qi is always fun, became my DOPE and never ending means to enjoyment. It never gets old. Some never do. I would be remiss not to mention to those who are looking for the freebies, yeah the freeloader bums, stubborn lot of them actually,,, if only to test drive to see if there is anything to it, they may like to check out this crazy dude who dishes out alot of bona fide energetics ways and means with reputable lineage for FREE https://budojapan.com/feature-articles/liquid-lightning：the-meaning-of-internal-in-xingyiquan/ He gets his fair share and then some of ignoble boors making uniformed comments too, anyone will putting themselves in that position as you well know by now. But, undeterred and not letting that distract him, he continues without much complaint.

Hmm, I am interested in your progress as well as the progress of all bums. I think respectwise, giving some by mentioning your teacher would’ve been appropriate. but that’s just me. really I bumped the thread to give you opportunity to do that or post a video, something along those lines. I am certainly not looking for conflict. it isn’t my forum btw, I’m one of the custodians. but every post I make shouldn’t be viewed as coming from a “mod” can’t I enjoy regular posting as any bum? It’s your opportunity, however you choose to go with it; follow up on the fajin topic or bicker

What is more powerful than Love? I didn’t say it to be saying a saying.

I would stay focused on the Love. Trust Love.

Really? I thought I’d give this thread a bump because, obviously, it wasn’t going anywhere, instead of just letting it die on the vine, I thought, water it.

Those are marvelous accolades ! (self bestowed one’s too often are)
