Oh Cat ..... nice played. P.S : for other readers, its a fake quote... some changes. So back to topic I found it interesting that the Sphinx is half human - half animal. It is much like a Centaur. In both the lower body is animal. Acting in much on instinct satisfaction of basic desire, exception Cheiron who is from Kronos. It is different than the egyptian deities having it reversed "Animal Head and Human body." The Sphinx is even more animal than the Centaur. While Centaur have the lower abdomen animalistic horse - and so having hands to use tools. The Sphinx has only a human head different than the Centaur is its lower body that of a Lion a predator. Seemingly interesting is its high intelligence, because it can give one riddles. It is odd that the Sphinx ask riddles as to eat or not to eat. More plain is it that the Sphinx prefer to eat the less intelligent. Actually it is something we humans also do when it comes in juding the other animals. The more sentinent a being is the more hesitation to eat it - while if one want one will seem to always find a away to justifiy it if one try to explain it "logical". More odd is that because of the human head when one see it as I see, would be cannibalism. It is different than when a Griffon eats a human. Same Lionbody but with eagle head. There again we consider one fall to prey to an animal. The case seem different if it comes to the Sphinx. Imagine yourself in front of the Sphinx some have even wings. If such thing exist one would consider it extremly dangerous and superior, as beside Oedipus... the rest got eaten. In terms of power, intelligence and mobility and resilence it must been very authorative. Such power must result is narcism. To get it/himself suicide after his fail is surprising since he could eaten Oedipus and the withnesses.... We dont know why it killed itself but assume it that it does because of shame. One thing that happen is Oedipus showed intelligence which on par of the Sphinx in that case. Intellignet at it is it the Sphinx is can calculate that the future brings the development of the human kind. Linking it with Taomeows insight I understand it that human become cabable to use technology with more intelligence. Seeing Oedipus as a mirror. The Sphinx might get understanding about his own. Oedipus kind may have the same cruelity inside but different than the Sphinx human have to hands and not lion strong body, but bipedal. The Sphinx may understand it that to day it, the human fall prey to the mighty and intelligent. But when the night comes the human still can use technology to compensate for its weakness resulting each generation in bettering. Different the Sphinx is only or rare existence and eats on terms- havent heard that it go on rampage like the Chimera. The Sphinx is rely on its own power different than the human who use more efficient tools which imitate the Chimera. In the amount of human beings pretty dangerous. You may find it that how powerful the Sphinx is the humans can easily catch a Sphinx today and doing experiments and vivisection. I think the Sphinx can think this far to choose death better than fall into their hands. One thing we dont know is: "How long is a lifespan of a Sphinx?" If one has live to this day and get caught and is long living lifeform. Then the military base have long experiments for such potential subject. He fear the night of humans. Not only this when it is night things that are in the darkness are coming out, outside as well inside the human. Just some thoughts.....

Michael, what is now missing is that a monastry wants to learn the methods. Traditions are sadly dieing out or become so hidden that it is difficult to trace them in a monastry. Good example is Shaolin at Songshan.

You have to think that the word "cooperate slave" is extremly dangerous use for polarisation to use. As this would put you in a state of a victim. See this as the basis to work for one of the dreams you hold for example to put you back in the one who deceide. Look for example we have Sifu Garry Hearfield for the Bak Fu Sunn Yee Gong in this forum, he is working as Ambulance in Australia. Still he is pursueing the Kungfu he learned. Does he look like a victim? This is to as well cultivation and serving the society. To break out one has to fight, to really persistance and discipline. Dont forget you can always leave the cooperation, even if it gives you disadvantages. You keep it because it still keep advantage to keep the bill being payed. Actually do you think other work make you less dependent? Even spiritual workers have to worry. For example there is a teacher who teach yoga, he was doing job and get some extra from yoga. The person who was student from her told me that it was different when she was having a normal job. Now it seems all the teaching session are "to much buisness" and much unease about the unfixed amount of money she get. As a worker one can endure the time and get the fixed amount of money. Actually you can ask member Skydog here what he thinks how to get freedom to be hisself and express it. Remember different things give different advantage and disadvantes. One will see the advantage from something when it is absent. This would be but a very bitter lesson. Remember that everthing you have is what generation before of you wished to have. It is only bad because one mostly only compare ones situation with maybe better situation.

This is the trap of Society. Technology improved and still the human has to work. The society in these days are built so one has to buy and earn money. My parents told they had no things to play with than rocks and a ball, unlike today with its console games, facebook, chat society, forums and the many games. Money was used only for the necessary things food,household stuff marriage and for the graves. Most of the things one make believe that one need by giving the possible advantage one can gain. You just need to see the TV Shop advertisment showing the example that gain "tremondous" health and body shape in "short" time with "less effort" "for only." To sell something people created a desire for a chance to change. They are unsatiesfied with their life and envy other when the other have it one do not. (Showing a enourmous one pack belly than a six pack belly, using of contrast). Other people also do have to pay bills, they cut their hobby time away and being very concetrated to keep it short without zapping around in the tv. A cousin from me who is a girl has two jobs, goes studying and bought already a home in the US where she have my auntie and uncle, her parents live their. She likes to dress beautiful with a sense of luxurity but she keep this with the sense of being money saving. When I was taking visit, she would only stay around 2-3 hours awake. She does everything other does, gaming, tv, chatting, e-mail, telephone with friends, but also household, cleaning and paperwork and having a dog, a bit fitness Tae Bo^^ cleary discerning also friends and playmates. But the thing she does is efficient and short and she not waste much time on unnecessary talk. From all the family clan members she work the most and sleep the most. Different than other people she could keep in check the reward response by disciplin and reasoning and following the this. The reward one ask for is the harder the work was, the unsatiesfaction is increase the more unsatiesfied the work, payment and the day was. One want a compensation for all these "desaster". An when now in this state of want compensation an advertisemnt comes then one is very vulnerable to buy that. It is not only the bills. Acutally those who pay you money for your service have to give you more than only to stay alive else they do have broken the codex for buisness. A car is luxurity, to be able to live outside the city. Else one can live near and get the bus, walk, or use a bicyle. Another thing is than one has need the abillity to money safe and wait and the discipline to safe without thinking that there is a oppurtunity now. If you can not safe ask yourself it what you want is really so important. I know of someone who goes to Wang Liping yearly, has a baby child and is married, goes study,may work beside and exercise 4 hours full lotus. This I call discipline and seeing the importance. The next thing to ask the change of the job for a job which better fits ones taste and money range. To have it all as fast as possible isnt helpful. So to reduce the stress is very needed to lower the reward respone to it. One has to use ones own head to deal with stress. This why one goes mediate to lower the stress. People with much stress can not be compassionate. Also easy things become complicate with stress. If life is like treatend even 12+35 can not be done correctly. In fact one not try to grasp the highest advanced spirtual stage but to take the next step. If you full of stress one can not reach the state with less sleep. Stress is reducing the health. This is compensate with sleep. So one need to adjust live and ask one -what one do -how one do it - if it can be done more easily Then after you do that you can do one method like simple meditation a form of something for 15minutes if you are not seeking becoming an immortal, a Mahasiddha or ascended master. Each day you can watch then how much you natural need sleep and then reflect on your behaviour, on what you eat, what you done. Especially watch out for day you had need less sleep and then analyse the day before and the time period. I do not earn much money but with what I can I do spare for all the seminars,book, food without thinking how much I have, I think about what I buy. With the Qigong I learned and the correction and simplyfying in my life I have day I sleep 3-4 hours and compensate it for one day with 14 hours at one day at weekend. My background was the inabilltiy to gain rest from sleep when I had chronic fatique, daily 14 hours +. Now I work daily up to 6 days a week with 9,5hours, sleep some hours, rest play, train and research. If it is about money, the only thing I worry about money is the complain of others about it. like : "I bought this Gucci Bag for $800 now I have no money" WTF

The more attachment one has the more one like to do. Keep in mind one has to find out what is important, since there is so much in the word that can catch our interest making us believe we need it brings profit. It is not to reduce sleep but the desires we have.

Ever heard from a thing called workaholic?

^^ no De_Paradise, I am not qualified to do Master Thesis, I am just ditzy Friend. Indeed MJJB, protection is not only in chinese methods of healing but actually even part of the particular lineage the methods come from. Actually the methods come from are not only for healing but as well from lineage doing magic wars, lineage fighting. Things like Golden Light Mantra is creating gold and purple. There was or is a Tai Chi Teacher who wrote a five euro book from UK. He said that people do not protect themselves-. Doing Tai Chi or Qigong need protection from what he expirienced because of the Ritual Type of movement and repetition. He suggest to create a sphere around oneself to keep bad influence out. When I compare what I know in the past with now I would say Qigong appeart to be callinestics that move energy with meditation making them with hard work may gain power and health. In that time I know only You Wei methods which better known as Qigong Forms. The teachers are better mentioned as "form instructors" who are do something one copy in movement with static explained. This I would call orthodox. Some greater teacher can pass their cultivated energy to the students and open points. Meanwhile those methods which are linked with Hidden Schools are passing their methods as well oral only and energetics with the form. Creating a Dantien by high level Teacher, is already a very unorthodox method in my understanding compared with methods to cultivate a dantien by practise only and by adding energy from the teacher in years or a decade or amassing energy in an unrefined Dantienfield. Some schools pass golden light field like the Xiao Yao Pai. A fun insert on Sick Qi: Even in Germany it is rarely know that pigs can neutralize Sick Qi. It is said that a grey smoke is coming out when one sleep beside them when on is ill and it will get into the pig, the pig then sigh than the Sick Qi is neutralize. Great Qigong masters the pigs. This is where the word is say to have luck a: "Schwein gehabt" = "Pig Had" End of insert. p.S: Spider Pig.... Spider Pig...... There is good explaination by Toshihiko Yayama in his Book Qi Healing as well Starr Fuentes saying that EGO has to be kept out from healing which is also said by Sifu Lomax : "May the will of Light be done". Another teacher of me said it a bit indirect: "We posses all free will but this ends where the free will of the other individual starts. If it is the will of me and you to have this healed then let it happen." I will sum up what Dr. Yayama says as it is very useful to know: 1.Strong Ego : Healer takes the sympthoms. The energyquality is low. One try to force it into the patient and the patient gets a limited amount because of resistance to forcing. 2.Neutral : Having only only own enery and qi is neither low or high one still take the sympthoms. Also the healer gets easy tired. 3.Oneness between Healer and Patient, one stop to take over the sympthoms but one still get tired. Energy is better in quality. 4. Trust and compassion for selfness healing which is better than point 3. 5.Ego is none and the healer connects like a waterdrop into the ocean.

It is difficult to discern sind the System are using similar concept. 霊気 = Reiki Indeed it works with Ki 気 which is the same for Qi and Rei 霊. In Chinese it would be Ling Qi "靈氣". "Spirit Energy" would be a proper word for this. The energy used is specific frequency from the outside. There is the concept of "Sick Qi", this why handwashing is needed after a session. There exist many lineage because of individuals creating their own Reiki System. Reiki has developed to the point to attune to specific frequency in addition what the "traditional", the teacher has passed down. The User acts as channel supposed to not working with ones own lifeforce. Maybe that has changed now in the current time because of the Reiki Mixing Creating Generation. Besides of Symbols in Tradition which was meant to boost the development to pass the original levels faster without. They are just for help, later one should be able to do the same feat without any Symbols. The situation is now the lineage is already for about some generation difficult to trace. The success of the current lineage depends on the merit of doing the same time and effort and methods as the former teachers and their teachers. The Reiki is much as the name on the Spirit to create rules around a energy which then can be passed to the next person. Actually one pass a information based construct. When the Reikipractioner meditates a lot he can can develop himself as channel. The exercise is to tune to the energy one work often the Reiki. The energybody is changing because of the opitimizing the energybody to work with Reiki. If one works with different Energytypes the energybody may built things that affect the internal energy and and its system negativ. This is especially a warning for those who work with internal methods. If one generation degenerate because of lack of the methods to keep the energybody setting as it was pass down or let become greater then one the generation has to work with less quality. So one may has an up and down. You can say Reiki is Intentionqigong. It is same as a Ritual where one give a motion or a thing a function. Example on place a palm on X and the Y should be happening. Since the apply on oneself of the 12 Handpostures one get the idea more anchored with the Handposture. By giving example and passing the lineage one can use this idea of the former. The problem is that the teacher is passing his energysystem of Reiki. The receiver will inherit a energysetting as it was given like a tool depending on the cabillity to transfer energybased information (everyone can do this) with clarity and intensity. Getting Reiki passed over is to use something that was constructed especially for that case. Starting a new lineage is pretty easy with this. The problem is old lineages have the advantage of less mixing and carefull filtering those who pass the clarity of the tools, since thousands of years maybe, each generation staying pure and getting stronger. Also there is specific research for the own techniques of what works, which direction and reduce of danger. Unfortunately Reiki when it passed by teachers who are narrow channel will may induce the energy projection and internal energy may be used up and exchanged with the receiver. The receiver get the projector energy and may get the same illness as the receiver instead. He has to do more exercise to get back to the state before doing Reiki for this patient he treated. Another thing is that energytypes that are connected to Reiki are influence type like when one use a Prism to get a certain frequency. Different than regain the lifeforce by alchemy with gathering, flow purifying, storing and apply. You can say those who Project generally when learn Qigong do project their own force in most case if their is no energetical lineage behind, they burn up themselves when they are good in projection reduce their liferesource energy. To project they have to go through the alchemical transformation of various energy, by winning them from reproduction, food, air, body exercise, mediation etc. Which needs time and effort. Qigong masters arent produced in some years or Intensiv weekend of Reiki, They are are those who can give remarkable results to suprise scientist after more than a decade. The energylineage in Qigong as it is in Reiki is different to be produced by several generations who work with affecting the internal energies. Which not many lineage can do. Often what is passed are forms that affect the flow of energyflow. Because of fortunate by sideeffects of celibacy, stillness,full lotus, horsestance breathing exercise and good lifestyle gain some latent abillity and health in altering the energyflow setting and repattern of the energybody. But passing the "merit of the generation"; the energybased information to optimal use the form and practise or use it on more refined level by having the enery work from inside to outside - is rare. One take high risk if there is no map or navigation or guide. With doing the exercise alone one just walk. No direction only the saying of someone who walked the road. Qigong is a vast theme. An umbrella term for various sort of practise which affects energy, breathing,life care, health, power etc. So one has to be careful to explain the specific type of Qigong form of a lineage in a certain generation. Stillnessmovement Qigong can be explained by explaining as it is explained as Stillnessmovement Qigong and even now I have to say it would be more specific to call it now Micheal Lomax Stillnessmovement Qigong to state the development stage which differs from Master Wang Juemin Stillnessmovement Qigong. It is same energetics like a computersystem wont change in the structure but the software is added, upgrade, scanned, defragmented. The things are based on the Stillnessmovment Qigong. For example Master Wang had five animal play but Sifu Lomax doesnt has but instead having Baduajin by Chen Panling and Isometic Qigong by Dr.Graef and the Gift of Tao. So when one try to differ and compare something the things one talk about one need to know about and be specific. This is especially difficult if one talk about old lineages as a beginner. Actually each system shares to the current generation their knowledge to make use of laws they found and how to alter them. Comparism is best done by someone who master both system which are talked about which is again individual by what has been perceived or was important for that master to talk about the topic. The others may have explaination with flaws and superficial understanding but maybe it is enough to give a hint about that matter. So back to the kempo man saying something like Reiki. Can be yes. One can say :It is part discipline of some Qigong and some Qigong doesnt use its concepts. So one can give the idea that Qigong is something more general.

Summary: Hou Tian takes long and is technical complicate or repetive. Xiao Yao Pai is fast because of precision and situation based exercise by guidance avoid danger and wrong practise.

This is because the maestro sometimes can not be understood and even is underestimated at a beginner level! Asking some grade school can be useful to expirience of "if I was more intelligent I would do not have to pay schooling fee but now I understand the worth!"" And : "How awesome I didnt know this is in our lineage!" And this I have often... I need higher intelligence stats!

This different techniques is the individual result of the research of the groups, schools. Since there where so many you expect so many. While there many techniques arise many also are lost. Specific techniques are done receive a specific result. The one who invent or found it may saw a specific energy flow and intepretate it into the motion. Each of the techniques is not perfected as well does not suit all people. At times techniques were invented to sort out a problem. This result into another problem required another technique. I tell you one go to a seminar to learn Art. Someone who spend there whole live on an Art become experts because of their time and effort. With their time and effort they come to certain conclusion. Everyone can write a story, how many write things like Shakespear? Everyone can sing, so why there are not so many like Elvis Presley? Everyone can talk, why was the court silent when Karl Liebknecht talk? They are to serve as inspiration and source one can learn from. To go to an expert is to see what this person do with the art. In a monastry there are beside the abbot, people who only swept the floor. In a puplic school one has A to F grades. I am not sure one want to get a sugery if one know the medical doctor get a F. The things in the media, the things in the forum are the exploit, leaks and stolen from books, videos, dvd in the remarkable time in this information era. Something like this is not thinkable 20 years ago. People see that what they know are granted in that form. In older generation the traditional way was to find only the name of a school and one undertake hardships of travel and begging at the door of the school to learn about concentration on the testicles after 20 years of serving the master as slave, getting beatings and doing humilating tasks one get shown a bit for the loyality. You dont know how dangerous it was for a foreigner to go to another country, suffering disgusting looks being a long nose, with having to rent a human translator and may run into their millitant police and the strong aversion of the civilian for westerners making you finding a teacher as a westerner difficult. I think all people above 40 years old are biting their lips for all the stuff open puplic today. I give my thanks for all the hardships they had to endure and all the others who serve as pioneers who despite the money, effort, time and endure give their information for free. Writing was so difficult in the past. There was no forum. Also happy that the witch hunts are on a break. The occult books, the qigong books in the seperate room handled like blackmarket stuff in limited print which I remember ordering one book took 1 to 2 month are gone, saving up half years of allowance. You have now ebay and amazon and even pirate digital download and scribd, filestube. It is to remember only because one see a lot doesnt mean one is big. One is a little dwarf standing on a giant. This is means to respect the elders.

This glow of the energybody is what I saw in England when doing Tree Qigong outside. The glow is something I could see after the Water Fu you took in Finnland which lessen the burden. The glow of the energybody seem to be aweseome charateristic of this lineage of LIGHT. I also see this after practise on me. I understand it so: If his body had not been harmed by the insane time.... can you imagine his level of development then? This means he could do the same as Wim Hof. Despite of his damaged body. Cold Water for three minutes is enough to raise cortisol. To lower the stress means to be extremly calm. A monk come to duel him in sitting? So a society man wins against someone who go out of society? This demonstrate that cultivating in society is not less then in monastry. When it is done correctly.

Sure it takes an eternity. This is when your are not natural genius. One need focus and percepetion. This is need to discern thought from energy one try to access. Else you would like try Autogene Training. You can warm yourself with this. Else if it is heat look for Wim Hof.

I read the look inside and the page with Wang Juemin is left out sorry for the wrong naming of review.

all other book have reviews this is the only book that has none. Between I fastread the amazon review.

Too bad this book has no review link.

There is no E-book for this book.

So since only a page with book one has to buy appear. What is the information when sum up?

Thank you for the details Drew, Dr.Yan Xin had a predecessor : Wang Juemin Yan Xin Qigong can be consider High Level. The last piece of information was that he withdraw from media society and lecture. It also happen to Pang Ming and his Zhineng Qigong. Pang Ming as heard has go into seclusion. This is but rumors one has to confirm. I can not tell much about the above. I am inexpirienced in the above methods.

Drew, The shen transmission light center of the brain sounds interesting Is this telephone possible? A thing I found is the Stillnessmovement Lineage seem to conceal itself. Things like organisation forming is not done. The former National Treasure of China was far and wide known in the past. Nobody knows of his greatness so far in the West or his teachers. Michael Lomax doesnt rely on the names of this great ones. Everything seem to be done to lower greatness to an "understatement". So it does only look "interesting". The Mo Pai is hold by many as High Level. Not many people have met John Chang personally -MJJB does. Why is someone who expirienced John Chang holding Michael Lomax in high regards? (I try something new, old style writting for the strange line setting) I assume someone with his mentor luck may meet also more interesting people. Still he hold this way of Stillnessmovment Qigong as high. Nothing seem to be done. No traces.... So why?

What is an inanimate object for you?

MJJB, the Gift of the Tao work on their own by doing them. Other forms need skill. Gift of the Tao do not skill. This set needs allowance and letting go. It is about how much one can accept. Learning Jing Dong Gong with tranmission is important. This allow to tap into the potential of a Qigongform. Some forms also dont work without specific transmission. Even with oral and personal teaching, without it doesnt work. Gift of the Tao is free of sealing or nailing and such restriction. The Jing Dong Gong transmission would boost this practise. This is because it is the core. MJJB you are very exited by following this path. You need to go to a seminar - again. At the real seminar you can harvest your efforts until now.

High Level is subjective word for comparism with something.Only those one has expirience can be compared. To compare something one has to expirience a wide range of things. The media can give the structure, methology and ideal state of something. Real expirience adds the factor of time. Example: Sifu Wong Kiew wrote many articles and books and on Youtube and other platforms one can learn for free the forms and drills. A valuable lection I learn from him ,by reflection of the events, is media is made and is limited on the time the media was produced and what was displayed. I have learned the introducing of the Chi Flow very fast from the books and because I did use the forms Sifu Wong presented I used it on the form I had exercised currently at that time. Later I had gone to an Intensive Seminar and he transmit the "Chi Flow" with an explaination: In the beginning his students had to do the exercise for one hour, for example "Lifting the Sky" before Chiflow is introduced, so I remember. After that with time the amount of time is lessend. And currently when I was at the seminar 12 Repetition and staying 15 minutes in the Chiflow was enough. The teacher is growing too and cultivating while you cultivate. End of Example. Each generation serves the purpose to maintain, develop and adjust the teaching to the current time. Another things as high level a school is still the leaders of the school having a sort if filtering while teaching. The filters are different. Example only: One of my teachers only teach drills and forms but this forms are advanced (which means that if one has the sufficient development of Qi and the structure then one will know they differ from other forms by its greater range and depth it affects) but one has to work on oneself without any help of the teacher beside of correct executing of the form (well if there is energetic issue he is correcting it but never think that he will boost you in some kind, I expirience he was even bored when he overviewed the class). This sort of way will take at least a decade of time. This helps to filter out talented hard workers from less disciplined and bright students, talkers and enthusiast will be filtered out. As they stay long enough to be given a bit of boost and get access to teachings that are only for the advanced students. In favour for Michael Lomax System I abandon to learn its Neikung as it forbidds to learn another, I have to keep the healing projection form in Standby as the power the Stillnessmovement Neikung has in projection is overwhelming the energy system and I suck in in Wall Squatting to overcome this problem -making me delay things. Name of the teacher I only give to MJJbecker if you want to know his name, else I have to hold my mouth. End of example. So to go on with filters a teacher can hold back information as they are humans and have their own subjective likes and dislike and feeling for their students. A teacher can choose to reveal esoteric sides of the practise or oral transmission as well energetic transmission or energy based information transmision. As well an energy system can be repatterned. Since this skills are either not openly, hidden, rare,keep quit about make a lineage difficult to judge. As things can only be judged that are open and revelead. (Some people can not keep their mouth shut, thanks to them one know that there is more potential in a teacher.....) Lying to a teacher is difficult who can do such thing, a teacher will know your Agenda, only those of the Type of Qui Gong Jin from Star Wars choose to teach Skywalker even seeing the risks hopeing it was a fluke of perception, the try to turn the tide.... but well it became Darth Vader. Who dont want to teach a hardworking talent? The Wang Liping Longmen Pai Branch can be considered High Level in this moment. Because of their students. Qinling is one who proves to me a very good teacher of the lineage and a good student of the teacher is a sign of greatness of a lineage and telling me that Wang Liping is the real deal. Qinling is sometimes at times overdoing things in my perception and doing very much for those who come to the seminars which are puplic and open for everyone. She overdoing things I said is because she is working energetical very hard while doing the group practise to help people to progress. While the full lotus is extremly valuable and the need to gain the peak it is said by her that her teacher said that longer meditation is more important. The learning of the Yin Xin Fa in the moment is helping to attain a selfcollecting Dantien (serves the same purpose like Stillnessmovement Qigong, but difference is that one has to develop itself instead of being gifted valuable LIGHT as starting, I forgot to mention that a part of Longmenpai is in Michael Lomax Transmission) and the sealing of leaks. Since I do not do Mo Pai but asked one who knows as well Longmen and Mo Pai, he assume that Longmen is providing faster improvement in more compact form, saying Mo Pai may lead to high archivements its method is time ineffective, so I understand - dont ask me more I dont know more. The saying Wang Liping is expensive can only be judged if one has a Seminar with one of the teachers he trained which is some hundreds dollars for a week. Still it is a hard way, full lotus. Help when one is in the Seminars else fully relying on the methods. Then there is Doo Wai teaching. Sifu Terry and Gary can speak for themselves. The Bak Fu Sunn Yee Gong and the Flying Phoenix Celestial Qigong has the breathing sequence as boosting for their practise. If they are mean, I say "if" . They could have said to do physical practise for ten years and then start to teach the breathing sequence. I rate the abillity to remove blockages, hinderance as outclassing - well from my practise expirience comparism - and inducing of brain states. The thing is that there are so many forms within to play with to reach the fullness of the system while only one meditation is needed. Compared with the healing form I mentioned in the beginning - I wrote again a bit much- which in the beginning use only what is there. The development of the specific Qi, the cultivated Qi is very fast for the amount of time spending on the form. As well the built up effort doesnt dimnish after absent from practise. It cause me reaction by seeing the clip from the advanced FP. Next: One may say that the form and instruction is all but I think personally a teacher is not only there to motivate one to do better but as an example of the development of the system. The energy system unseen to us is seen by the deep conciousness and imitated. Having a teacher around already gives a boost as he is elevating the student for a momentary moment above his standard level. For example: I need less than 5 minutes to saturate a practise but meditating with someone who has equal (group) or higher (teacher) enlarges the time which can only be stopped by force or when the other stop. So the more people advance in a school and more Si Suk (Uncle teacher) one do practise with the greater on will gain. Next: Stillness Movement Neikung is the lineage which gives the most of oppurtunity despite of the lack of popularity has the most easiest and comfortable way of cultivation. There is no need of Full Lotus, deep stances, Zhan Zhuang, Still Statue Sitting. It can either a selfcultivating way or a Qigong Projection Way. Effort is minimal, with more practise the practise time becomes less, if one is more greedy one can practise more. There are some stuff I learned from a similar Lineage which was an eye opener to me about Stillness Movement Neikung, raise the valuation for me for this system by understanding. A cultivated Dantien is created and this saves a lot of physical hardwork where effort and time is only plus. Cultivating in Stillnessmovement Qigong is like multiply the effort and time one invest in. The quantity and quality of Qi one can work with increases in leaps and is for me unseen in other lineage which strength is to develop very rare energy types (which make high level more difficult to define since a frog and a turtle and precious on their own way - they for the sake of lifeforms exist! Isnt it wonderful, they are!" Which lineage can say in 2 and half year project 2 minutes on lower back pain with movement reducing where he could only bow 10° and regain movement and touch his ancle, this about 170° improvement, I think. In 2 minutes, since I have to do this while I do my job. We have also a lady here who do SM and worry about the little time she invest into practise while other who practise hours not even come near to her development.^^ The quality of practise is taken into daily life counts very much in this system. Its different than reap as much what you sow. One maybe gain more than one reap. This makes it the base for 24/7h practise. The cost to learn this is the lowest I have seen. One actually learn almost everything and get transmit everything a normal practioner needs for all his life in 3 days needing maybe only once in a lifetime 2 day a place to sleep and 1 time flight back and forth. The rest is you work the rest the transmission make. Coming back is to deepening the state by being in the present of the teacher and to gain more teaching as a healer if one follows the certification program. Else some hundres of Dollars serves the whole life. And beside this: Dont judge Michael Lomax on appearance. He may look like a cheap car but he has to be compared like a porsche or jaguar that had different car accident and paintdamage. (actually this correct to say, other people would lay paralyze and with pain and in a clinic) much of his energy is to compensate the damge. I could do a "Water Fu", projection of intent and energy in water in Finnland. And for a time I could see that behind all the damage the light shines out, making me guess that in this damaged porsche is in reallity a space shuttle motor... awesome. For the other schools I know: I do not have enough expirience to write about.

Let us make this subforum "The Tao Bums"!

I think there is some interesting point is this story. Liao has regret to have done his deed while Lim seek revenge. Those of the other village had not take revenge for the revenge. Another interesting point is Lim has not killed Liao either it was he was sure that he would not be harmed or by emphaty for someone who had done and succeed in revenge or maybe he sees someone who might understand him, or maybe seeing himself in him. I am quite suprised for the courtesey on the favor on the tea and for the bravery or boldness Liao displayed in the presence of Lim and also for the liking of Lim for brave people, as he repeat say it several times. It teaches me a lection about that sometimes good deeds can turn bad but also can bring good deeds. Actually I am more suprised about his lust.... "in his eighties" minus 12 years is 68-70, still plundering and interested in juwels and women, wow. Actually I was thinking if Chunyi Lin would be accepted into the Mo Pai, since he is chinese and can sit full lotus for long periods. It is a curios thought how he would fare in climbing the "levels".
