  1. Are all paths really valid?

    But humans can be like this as well right? Well the cannabalistic part may be more rare... but bullying and strategic for sure in fact i would say the vast majority of people are capable of these things given circumstance.
  2. ...

    Who cares about the label, are you getting some good results from your experiences?
  3. When John Chang says....

    Cool now we understand where you're coming from, when you do the energy work after entering this trance, you get strong heat and light etc? I seem to remember a while back you saying you become very cold.
  4. Just so everybody knows...

    Same, anyone can regurgitate or make up stuff based on the thousands of books that are already out there. Personal experience and achievement are what interest me.
  5. Thank you, so you learnt from his student, is he a teacher you would recommend based in Europe?
  6. Just so everybody knows...

    What is the aim or result of the cultivation that you present?
  7. Do you know a source on this info?
  8. When John Chang says....

    Well the circulation is different when you are upright compared to a supported spine. I think there is a reason all the qigong/neigong do their main practices upright.
  9. When John Chang says....

    I believe you said that in the past you didn't store in Lower dantian and yet you could sit in full lotus as long as you want. Also i know people who can sit in full lotus with comfort and ease, they definitely don't have any decent chi development.
  10. When John Chang says....

    I feel like you do the practice reclining/laying down. Wonder what John Chang would say... haha
  11. When John Chang says....

    Do you meditate in full lotus? I was just reading some of Kostas second book and he mentions how full lotus is twice as effective as half lotus in Mo Pai.
  12. Hentai Kamen: Forbidden Super Hero

    I think there was a manga of this... Pretty hilarious lol
  13. So someone actually levitated at one of those things? Seen the vids of the people hopping about in cross legged, if this is the same group we are talking about.
  14. OUT of BODY EXP./ ASTRAL Projection

    Do you just pop out when you are doing your practice, or is it lying down before/after sleep?
  15. Holy cow 37 years of daily practice?!?! Can you Private message me a bit about what results you have got from that? Not so often you can ask someone who has stuck with one practice for that period of time. Thanks!
  16. IQ's and the tao?

    I'd say some intelligence is very helpful. It can help you to have a better perspective on the world. IQ however is very unimportant to spiritual stuff in my opinion. The skills they are testing don't apply at all.
  17. IQ's and the tao?

    Interesting, my understanding was that the internet tests were really inaccurate but the scores are similar.
  18. IQ's and the tao?

    Did you get those from internet tests?
  19. is it possible to see chi?

    Chidragon found a disciple
  20. Why do females progress faster on the way

    Men are yang outside and yin inside. Women are yin outside and yang inside. So i suppose this is good for female inner alchemy.
  21. Hard Qi Gong - Scares Judges

    Funny, but there's no qigong involved they are well known tricks.
  22. Flowinghands how do you know that you are learning from Lao Tzu & the Monkey God? Spirits can take many forms so how does this work?
  23. Uh ohhh now my head can't fit through the door
  24. Yeah it's an interesting topic. My first post was too broad sweeping, just thinking about some Karetekas and Shaolin guys who think they are doing an internal form but they are just tensing hard and developing hollow power. IMO even in Yi Jin Jing where post people seem to be tensing excessively, you should just be working with the natural tension the posture gives rather than adding more. However as you said there are some methods where the proper instruction is to tense - think Mo Pai. Do they work with dynamic tension in Temple Style H.uriahr?
  25. Daoist Alchemy: Jerry A. Johnson

    It has the Alchemy in it. Look at first page at the contents link that Effi posted, it has what it says in there.
