No matter what you said, you do not have the option to come and go in and out of "the light"; even you're a celestial immortal.
-
"You may not have the option to come back again and remain mortal (unless you're a celestial immortal)" What did you mean by that....???
-
An immortal process is irreversible because your body is dead. Your soul cannot return to a dead body. Sorry, your answer is still no.
-
No, I thought we are talking about immortals....!!!
-
All myth, not theory. One may be from another life but still deals with each life at a time.
-
Okay, let me rephrase. According to the Taoist mythology, when you become a spiritually immortal, you are no longer the husband of your wife nor related to anyone. You are a free soul. That is the purpose for being an immortal. The answer is still no.
-
You mean an immortal still live like man and wife to have sex and all that...??? According to the Taoist mythology, as soon one become an immortal, one is disassociated with the human world. Thus your answer is no.

Before we get carried away with the expert opinions, I just want to hear from him what did he learn in the past eight years from his Nei Gong master....!!!
-
Are we talking about something in general or a specific technique like Nei Gong? I don't think our minds have come to a mutual synchronization yet. I think we should discuss something at a higher level without making generalization statements.

Thank you for answering for Starjumper, I can understand when Kung Fu was taught but Neigong without explanation is not possible.

I don't meditate while walking; only when I am sitting or standing.

（一）、內壯健強功夫（內壯功）: Internal strengthen vigorous Kung Fu(Internal Strengthen Gong) 所謂內壯功夫，即通過呼吸吐納和相應的肢體動作對身體內部的肌肉、筋膜、骨骼和臟腑進行高強度的刺激與鍛煉，從而使這些身體組織的機能、功能得以最大程度強化的功法。而這種內壯功夫又可基本分為“氣血鼓蕩”和“抻筋拔骨”兩種練法。 Translation for the portion as shown in red: The so called internal strengthen vigorous effort is by performing the breathing with the method of Tuna(吐納) and coordinated with the body movements by rigorous stimulating and cultivating to the muscles, tendons, bones and internal organs. From that, it may invigorate the body unit and enhance its internal functions to the ultimate..... 氣血鼓蕩(The Chi and Blood Stimulation Method) 氣血鼓蕩功夫即以特定的呼吸吐納法（通常為吞氣、咽氣或噴納等武火呼吸法）配合肌肉的鬆緊轉換，鼓蕩氣血，堅實肌骨。這類功法不僅可以增強肌肉力量，而且可 以通過鬆緊鼓蕩鍛煉出一定的抗擊打能力，故民間所傳的“金鐘罩”、“鐵布衫”之類功夫多練此法。而其他各派如桶子功、十八羅漢功、金剛羅漢功等亦為此類功 法之代表。 氣血鼓蕩(The Chi and Blood Stimulation Method) is a special adopted breathing method is called Tuna Fa (吐納法) which was used in coordinated with the muscle alternating from relaxation and contraction, stimulating the Chi and blood, and strengthen the muscles and bones. This kind of method was not only to invigorate the muscle strength but also may acquire an ability to resist any striking attack by went through the cultivation of the alteration from relaxation and contraction for the muscles......

Sorry to say, this is going to be another one of those inconclusive dead end on the subject matter.

Random thought about Dao that can not be spoken
ChiDragon replied to soaring crane's topic in Daodejing
It is because they are there for a reason and that is tao(the principles of Tao). Note: tao(small t): 道理; reasons; the principles of Tao. -
Well, that was one cultivation you did right by being aware of your environment consciously.
-
What are you really saying, eventually, everything was done internally. Anything was practiced inside the body, regardless, its purpose is to enhance the well being of the body and its strength as the final result. It is still covered in the general term as neigong(內功). Btw I was only using the muscle scenario as one of the examples. If you want, I can go down to a more finer detail how the muscle works begin with biochemistry of the body cells. We can stay away from all this endless conceptual talks if we can be avoided.
-
Ofc not. It was from the mistakes or trial and error while doing the actual practice learned by the mind.
-
IMO The IQ has to do with the personal intuition in the understanding of the effect learned from the diligent practices. It because a teacher can only help one to get started, and the later stage is strictly by self intuition for advancement. If one has to depend on the teacher all the time, then there was no advancement but stagnation.
-
Hi, NotVoid.... You are correct but how many "internals" are there internal to a body....??? Again, it would be meaningless if the meaning of "internal" was made too broad.
-
IMO.... Neigoong is a just general term meaning "internal strength method" for all practices. The reason it is so confusing right now, in the west, is because people are trying to lump everything together as in every term they knew. Each term has its own meaning and is different from one another. Hence, that is why they are named different. If people said Chi Kung is Neigong and both are all inclusive, then, there was really nothing has been said and nothing was understood to distinguish the meaning of each term. Here is the worse fallacy about Chi Kung. Some said it may or may not have something to do with breathing and it is very contradictory. It has to be one way or the other but not both. I don't know how the truth got lost in the translation.

Me too!

Interesting! If it is not a secret, may I ask what was the first basic fundamental thing that you were taught in the beginning....???
