I agree that the best MMA fighters have a bit of softness to their technique, but this isn't some top secret "we stole it from Asia" cover up--- It is what is necessary to win at that level of play. Boxers, bouncers, and police officers all know this. IMA sucks for fighting because the students never learn how to use it in a combat-like situation. 99.999% of IMA players wouldn't be able to fight their way out of a paper bag! I think BT is a real IMA player, and he has strong internal skills. He has a video where he says that he can't share certain internal aspects that he learned... Go fight him OP!!!

The big picture is that you have not taking the steps to make more money. I wouldn't take advice on money from traditions that come out of nations that make their money by pimping out their workers for pennies.

There's a saying-- In America you are paid exactly what you are worth, and not a penny more. Your problem is that you are only worth $9,000/yr to your employer. 1) You remedy your low market value by developing a skill set that is worth more money to the marketplace. 2) Start a low overhead business and follow the mechanical process that makes money. No spiritual riddles needed. America provides you a consumer base of sheeples that will buy snuggies. Take advantage of this by providing real or perceived value to them.

Are you looking for a chi blast to the chest? Maybe you should visit the yellow bamboo guys and offer to play the role of the attacker.

99% of IMA practitioners do not train in a manner that will help them in a fight. If this guy wants an IMA butt kicking he should contact BlackTaoist... Maybe he will piecing palm you in the 3rd eye, and fully awaken you...

He seems like Chunyi Lin's brother My experience doesn't go pass watching a few of his videos on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/user/ShengZhenSociety

Who would have thought that spiritual practice would make you more of what you truly are??? Practitioners who start with slightly introverted tendencies become more introverted... I've spent the last 2yrs working 12+ hour days alone in my home office. I've had several days where I haven't seen a soul. The only time I feel loneliness is when I'm in a noisy crowd-- I've never felt more awkward than when I was picking up a meal in a small, packed, and noisy restaurant-- I'm no longer use to hearing a cacophony of conversations going at one time-- It now annoys me--- I enjoy my own song. I started off shy, became more social, and now I'm a bit withdrawn, yet not shy. BTW Shyness and introversion aren't necessarily the same thing-- One deals with social anxiety, and the other deals with how you energize. Anyway, I'm not happy with what I've become, and will make an effort to be a tad bit more social.

Makes me kind of glad I had an infection that prevented me from being able to get circumcised. Good luck, and report back after you have achieved your goal. One bad thing about being circumcised is that it requires more maintenance (you have to CLEAN IT), sex with a condom feels like you are having sex with the condom and not the girl, and you have a higher chance having of penile cancer and contracting HIV due to have a larger membrane service that creates more entry points--- For me, the biggest inconvenience is the extra cleaning. The health reasons above are the main reason why circumcision is prevalent in America. Another reason could be due to the large amount of Jewish doctors in the medical field, and a sort of cultural transference.

This seems to be only aesthetic... I don't see restoration as a way to have the super sensitive nature of an uncircumcised penis.

Good loses because it takes into account what is best for ALL parties involved. Evil is out for self. I started a marketing business with the idea that I was going to do value based marketing: Offering people things that they needed, helping them make logical choices. The truth is that people do not need 90% of the products that are available, and they do not use LOGIC to make decisions-- People make emotional decisions. To be successful, I had to get rid of the everyone wins philosophy. I needed to take advantage of emotions, and have people buy things that they don't need. In a world where everyone wins most businesses could not exist. I struggle everyday with making the right decision. I could easily make 100k every month if I was willing to screw people over, and the kicker is that it would be 100% legal! Guilt keeps me from having ANY fun in this world. DAMN compassion, DAMN values, Damn morals... I suppose I have peace of mind. I agree with the OP-- This world is evil, and a truly moral man will have a hard time getting to the top. Someone always gets screwed. Study the history or Marketing and PR--- Learn about the shift from utilitarian marketing to emotive marketing.

I suppose you are right about focusing and multi-tasking, but for me, someone that is constantly daydreaming amd that always has a myriad of random thoughts pumping through my head --- this was the closest thing to focus. I was answering customers question via email on autopilot, while I was focusing on the website and the marketing plan that goes with it. 3 systems running vs the 100 thoughts I normally have running through my head is a major win! I use to listen to these super beta focus cd's, and they never got close to getting me to this level--- I usually ended up with a headache, and a bounce down to alpha.

My only profound experience with the MCO occurred when I was using Dr. Lins anal breathing and tailbone stimulation technique. The flow of energy became automated, and dotted around the orbit without any visualization needed. It felt like lil electric pulses running from my perineum, up my spine, and down the front of my body.

One cool thing about NLP is that you can anchor all kinds of states: Love going into theta state and blissing out? Create an anchor for that, and whenever you instantly want to go into that level of consciousness fire up the anchor, and boom pow you are back to that level. This morning I got myself into this amazing state where I had an amazing amount of focus-- I was multitasking, answering technical emails, creating a website, and planning a new marketing campaign with EASE. I plan on creating an anchor to instantly get me back into that super efficient business mindset, so that I'm less of a goofball when it comes to business. Imagine what a student could do with this one simple tool?

I swear that the addiction to the caffeine found in soda is as strong as being addicted to crack cocaine. I use to drink 6 cans of coke zero a day, and quiting has been difficult. One motivating factor in quitting is that my Doctor has said that I have a high amount of protein in my urine, which is often an early sign of kidney disease. I've gone on stretches of a month without soda only to return to drinking it again. Until today, I was soda free for about a week and a half. I'm slowly but surely weening myself off of that evil poison. I'm changing my diet to one that is 80% veggies and 20% fat/protein. I hope to be completely sofa free by the new year. Good luck.

When you label me, you negate me.

I'm saying this forcefully, but it is not an attack on Markern-- you are just giving us an example of a NLP pattern. The October man sequence is for losers. Why would someone desire to run such a pattern on another person when through NLP and other more powerful techniques you can develop yourself into the kind of person that women (people) would enjoy to be around. Why hack the world when you can simply hack yourself? I would rather develop my personality, and develop a form of charisma that attracts people. Tom Vizzini said it best, the PUA community and their tactics are about lowering the self-esteem of women to the level of the lowly pickup artist. Neg hit LOL I'm not an expert in NLP, but I find the following from NLP useful in my life: anchoring, understanding my/others presuppositions, and modeling.

Sounds like you refuse to give the same respect that you feel you deserve. Replacing faith with another form of faith is a draw!

I support the officer. Aggressive dog attacking your pet + his wife was in harms way = death to bear bear. The western world has gone crazy over animal rights-- it makes me sick. I hate it when people abuse INNOCENT animals, but aggressive animals should be shot.

I've found this mentality in a lot of groups: Christians, Taoist, Buddhists, retarded New Agers, martial artists, so-called healers... I hate when someone's advice is a bunch of BS spiritual sayings, and retarded opinions. I want more facts. I'm at the point where I do not want to deal with faith or belief. It either is or isn't. So, you can shoot fire bolts out of your hands? Let me see it or STFU. X philosophy, x martial arts, x method is so kick ass--- Let me see it, show me how it has changed your life and the lives of others. Oh you're a healer? Where are your references? Who can vouch for you? I see people running from one set of beliefs to another--- from one modality to another.

It's good to know that liberally telling people to STFU is actually good for their health

Thanks. I'm listening to it while I do my grunt work!

Spot on! LOL Every generation has said the same thing: People will become X, and we all die. It's so boring

The human body is well adapted to meat, beans, and vegetables--- Which are the basic ingredients of chili. I find that hot food wakes me up, and gives me more energy. Cayenne pepper is a great pick me up--- way better than caffeine.
