One of the things that helps me is being aware of biased that I may have. When you want something to be true and hope for it to be true, it is a bias that can be short-sighted and neglecting of other possibilities. Another thing is hope, I know that pragmatically there isn't anything wrong with "hoping" or whatever, but it is really wanting for something, a desire underneath whatever intention, be it good or bad. I don't think hoping is necessarily good or bad, it is just pointless and leads to bias when determining truth. Always be open to other possibilities that haven't been tested. Because you have evidence pointing towards a seeming truth, that is only one line that only increases the probability. Truth will have many lines pointing at it, these are called lines of consilience. These lines are independent from varying sources and fields. Example of a truth is that one can develop awareness of the "third eye". This is truth because all of the independent lines from varying sources are pointing at the same thing, yet sometimes with different terminology. Combining this evidence with subjective experience I can conclude the validity of it.

Yes, I have increased my temperature to over 100 degrees many times, that doesn't mean that it is in fact mystical and without any physiological basis. If you are thinking along those lines, then I would guess you may have mistaken awareness of the blood flow in your veins for chi. Many do. Here is a possible explanation of how it is done: Notice the link between the thyroid and pituitary gland, both of which are used in internal alchemy.

Very seldom am I not practicing. My practice could very well be beyond most or even anything that you could teach me aside from beliefs. How long are you going to wait to find out what is true and start eliminating all those constructs you've been allowing to build up for all of these years? As long as you have been practicing I would think you may know the value of truth over belief by now. Why do you assume to put yourself in a higher place then others? I doubt you have a PhD from any accredited university, or would be providing evidence for these extraordinary claims you so dearly believe to be true. I'm hardly impressed if that is the purpose. I don't think there is much that could not be written of as a placebo effect. People heal themselves all the time, my wounds heal of their own accord. Why wouldn't you have proposed to run the experiment on mice anyways? If there were replicateable results, I'm sure you would have found a basis for funding. Here is an example: Doctors don't generally just jump in and start testing idea's on humans.

I wonder what she means by "heart". I think MCO is doing that, but that's not with what I would consider to be Heaven chi. How would you begin to describe heavenly chi? It seems like all energy can be united, and is already united, it just appears divided in the manner makes light appear divided into the colors of the rainbow. The energy felt in all lower centers seems divided, heavenly chi comes from the crown and is seemingly aspects of all other manifestations before being divided into prisms.

Einstein provided evidence for both a subjective and an objective realm existing intertwined with the Theory of General Relativity: Yes, the premise is that it can be described objectively as well as subjectively if it is true. This is to advance knowing through both internal seeking as well as external seeking. By attempting to bring subjective experiences into the objective realm, there is motivation and intent within scientific process to find the truth objectively, releasing the subjective hold. This is in the same manner as General Relativity, which subject and object are explained objectively. The same is true vice versa. Utilizing proper rationale instead of blind faith. Relying on Faith and beliefs puts on in an interesting situation of confirmation bias:

I like you What I think happens is that there is imbalance between logic and creativity to affirm or deny either or. The equilibrium is in combination. As some may say there is only objectivity and others claim only subjectivity.

Yes, that could also be simpley autonomous control being over-ridden in the thymus gland. The above is "actual" evidence, it doesn't prove it, but lend credence and increases the probability. Here is more evidence: As evidence from independent sources compiles in increases the probability that the proposition is true. There is a lot more evidence, and it's no wonder thymus is associated with rejuvenation.

*Reality check*, you don't have super powers. Carl Sagan put it very eloquently when he said: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." Science doesn't attempt to prove anything, that was done away with scientism. Filling one with beliefs and superstitions is contrary to jnana.

Yes, so everything that isn't truly known is written as fiction? What about confirmation bias of the subjective persuasion, or when one experience is used to affirm a belief subjectively? Like fore instance, say someone tells you something will happen, and then tells you what it means. Then that things happens, so is what they told you it means also true? Is anything that has been attached to that specific phenomena or experience actually true? Or is it only the experience is true? Jnana approach:

I'm curios how one determines the fantasy and fairy tales from the truth? There are many ideas surrounding this subjective phenomena, a lot which appeals to peoples death anxiety such as "heaven" for christians. How do you go about determining fact from fiction?

This is known as "character assassination" or Ad hominem in philosophy, it was also in that cult link. I don't mock any of you, I mock the beliefs you have.

There is no secret, it is only belief. Truth doesn't need to hide. There is no bicycle or Ferrari, those were the video game. Anyway, I would prefer you to answer my questions as to why one would tell someone they have a secret without any intention of sharing it? Yes, sometimes I do mock beliefs with sarcasm. It is the only way I can find humor in an otherwise gloomy situation. Maybe you can explain this as well: "I can see your energy flaring up in your pelvic bowl from here." Are you doing remote viewing?

Maybe they should have kept guns and bombs and landmines and stuff a secret. We def wouldn't be able to deal with people running around casting fireballs and chain lightning or spontaneously combusting. If someone wants power to cause harm, there are much easier ways available to them then learning spiritual practices. Secrets are common for cults because: I think that anyone can say to anyone else that they have a secret. So what is the purpose of telling one you have a secret other than to have something to dangle over their head to sell them on later? *sarcasm* "I have a really powerful secret, but I'm not going to tell you the secret, I'm just telling you I have one so you know how important and trustworthy I am" ROFLMAO. What is the point in even saying it? I think it would be easier to say "just trust me". I don't know if you are in a cult or not, but there seems to be symptoms of it. How was Kundalini diagnosed again?

I just think that everything that teaches you something is your teacher, from animate to inanimate objects, from books to people. Teacher isn't so distinctly and narrowly defined from this angle, in that there is no specific mold for a teacher or a student. Like we are all a student, a teacher, neither a student or a teacher, both a teacher and student. So you need someone to physically help you, why is it any different from anything else you learn something from? Why does there need to be a specific form to a teacher? JKD is is not a MA, it is a way of assimilating and seeking useful tactics and putting them together in a suitable way instead of following the predetermined structure path. It was an evolution of that path and those decision that brought him to JKD, through seeking and determining what was self-evident. He was using a seekers mindset towards Combat Martial Arts as well as tradition. I agree he may have done better to have applied that seeking to internal aspects as well.

Can you define what is a "teacher" MM? I think that's most of the confusion. Sounds more like you want a boss or master to tell you how it is. If that is the case then One will never progress beyond the master or boss. The philosophy of Jeet Kune Do may open your mind to what I'm talking about and using Bruce Lee as example: So my question is, who would have been the one to teach Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do?

I like that analogy TaoMeow. Because I think it is like elemental water. I think Bruce Lee had explosive aggression more akin to the elemental fire so the water didn't appeal as much to him. For example he seems he would rather be the wave that you have to deal with in that picture, rather then the surfer.

I agree H.E. , It seems to be explicitly pointing towards the center for one who is creatively inclined and from that perspective. It is like a creative angle rather then a logical one, yet they are equal when centered, which I think is the point of the writing. How could that which encompasses all omit anything? It points at balance from creativity, to point at balance from logic would be different imo.

Or just swim with others.

Do you notice how much energy is expelled and the time periods it takes to release it? The OP video was showing conserving energy and drawing it out over long periods, where the one with Bruce Lee showed how to release it at once. So if I'm coming at you like Bruce Lee, you want to do the opposite to absorb the energy and let me get wore out while you would be using minimal energy.

Yah, flex might be a better word. You have to squeeze your fist or you could break your hand, because momentum is being accelerated through the object, so the object being accelerated has to be properly structured and firm so it won't give upon impact. This "flexing" requires energy to be used, so it is rationed until the moment it is needed. When that instant comes then all energy and force is directed towards a single point and allowed to explode through impact. You can get away with staying a bit looser upon contact if you are wearing wrist wraps and punching, because they will support your hands and wrists. This is in contrast to sparring, in which non of that is used, only speed and reflexes with precision of motion instead of power and force. I think it depends on the purpose for learning to swim. Are you doing it to compete with other swimmers or because its something you enjoy to do? Are you trying to be the best swimmer? Some learn to swim by being thrown in the water, without instruction. Other are schooled in the intricacies for competition, and some go to classes for it. I'm not sure the intended point of the analogy.

I think it is pointing at training reflexes to just react, instead of thinking and then reacting.
