I had been following your thinking for awhile. Maybe that was the style in your writing, your train of thoughts seems to me was specious and nebulous. In your thinking, the way I've perceived, there was no Yin nor Yang. However, to Taoists, there are either "Yin" or "Yang", or "Yin-Yang" in their thinking. Sometimes, there are things do go from Yin to Yang and vice versa. The duality of Yin-Yang are integrated as a One. Sometimes, one may be at the opposite extreme of the other but the direction of one extreme will be starting to go reverse toward the other extreme. I see what you are getting at by saying that "people can smell that stuff a mile off". However, the original intent may be basically good but the starting point may not be adequate to your personal satisfaction.

If we understand the Cellular Respiration Theory, it will help us to clear the mist about Chi Kung and how the practitioners build up their energy for a healthier body.

Dragon X.... Just to be accurate, it is fair to say that the "air' is a source of energy. It is the oxygen in the air which is what makes the air a source of energy. BTW The pressure of air can be converted to mechanical energy. Thus we cannot just come out flat to say that air is Energy.

Why did the Lactate level dropped...??? The lactic acid level had dropped was because some of the lactate was recycled back into glucose for manufacturing ATP.

What if it was done in a positive Taoist way, don't you think follow the principles of Tao was being versatile in harmony with the Universe.......???

What happen if the Yin-Yang symbol was going in the counterclockwise direction...???

If enlightenment is emptiness, then, it seems there was nothing in the enlightenment to be enlightened. If there was only emptiness in the enlightenment, then, you were only get enlightened for nothing. If your master tells you that enlightenment is emptiness, then he was not enlightened because his enlightenment was emptiness. Hence, his enlightenment was only a delusion with emptiness.

It was up to the reader. That is what Yin-Yang was all about. It works both ways. Different personality has to be treated differently. If one is serious, then, I'm serious and vice versa.

Yes, this is the only way to isolate the boys from the men.

It is more like only a fool would argue with a fool......

Sorry, air is not energy....:

The measurements were just monitoring muscle strength and lactic acid but not the oxygen level in the muscle. The initial reading of lactate level was 5.2 After one minutes was 4.1 The scientists were assuming that if the muscles work for a minute will cause the pyruvic acid to convert into lactic acid. However, it was not the case, the oxygen in the muscle have to be depleted before that can happen. In the video from 37:00 and on, Randy Couture was never out of breath and no sight of hypoxia. There was not a chance for the pyruvic acid to be converted into lactic acid. Instead, the pyruvic acid was converted into ATP. Hence, that will cause the lactic acid level to drop from 5.2 to 4.1. Indeed, the measurements were done incorrectly and caused them to draw to a wrong conclusion.

Here is the next clue.....

宁 Sharing new or different knowledge is not making enemies. If people don't even try to understand something new, and stick with the stagnant ancient knowledge is not making progress. FYI your information, the modern science explain them all if you are willing to open your mind to it. 難道為了這些不重要的小事就可以埋沒現實了嗎...??? Do you think this unimportant little thing will make me to hide the truth....??? PS... For those who are not interested, please don't bother....

Fight science (MMA) full episode Okay...I think I know the answer why his lactate level went down. Please watch at 37:00, the answer is right there. This is to test the knowledge for all the Martial Artists Tai Ji and Chi Kung practitioners. PS... The clue is in the Cellular Respiration(CR). Any one can figure this out. I'll let you guys have some fun. You can guess the answer or study the CR process and get the answer. This is very educational to the Martial Art practitioners. So, you won't be insulted even if you have given the wrong answer. Please give it a try. Thanks.

Do you know what will happen if the Tai Ji moves were not done correctly.....???

No, it was not too late as long you are presenting something scientific. What else did he do besides working on his muscles....??? It would help me to give an analysis, if you can tell me how did he work his muscles also.

Marblehead... You think that you are a Taoist but you are not because you are trying too hard....

Really! It is a tool.....???

It is because you get upset.....

That's what they say too....

Pardon me for my intrusion, I think I know why you'd fallen into this dilemma. I see a statement which do not coincide with the philosophy in the Tao Te Ching. The contradiction lies on the word 'nature'. Taoism is not about following your own inner nature. It is about following Nature. The outer Nature is not the inner nature. You inner nature is yourself which may not be compatible with the outer Nature. Thus you want to cultivate yourself to be compatible with Nature by following the principles of Tao. Tao's principle was followed by Tao's own natural self. Please notice that Tao's natural self, not your own inner self. That is the difference in my understanding. In other words, do away with your own inner nature and incorporate Tao's natural way into yourself through cultivation.

Correction: You are one most humble enlightened Taoist with great wisdom.....

All of the above(1 thru 3). The purpose of lifting the tip of the tongue was to keep the saliva flowing in your mouth to keep the mouth for being moisturized. Skip to 5:00 about moisture in the mouth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8napfejgjE
