If you train with Master Bing then a DVD might be handy to help learn the material. I wouldn't allow a person in my life that is seeing "black energy" on my nervous system to be taken seriously. The shear amount of people that do five animals chi gung, the same set that is mentioned here is countless and for hundreds of years and the reason we can even talk about it in 2014 is an amazing transmission. Do not allow people that delude and deceive themselves deceive you. Question everything and know for yourself. Never take on someones beliefs or knowledge for your own, there are no short cuts. when people do this it is called being a fool when you know for your self that is called being wise.

Colors relate to the five elements like this year being green horse, wood. Dragon years follow the same format.The symbolism of colors and how it relates to energetic correspondence has been pointed out I believe. This year is green, wood, growth, advancement all those wonderful energetics associated with spring, Like being more external as contrasted with winter being a more internal time. The application does not have to line up with time, the movement of sun and moon it could be that one is young in the spring time of there own personal life or in a new relationship or new job or something just starting. The interaction of the five elements it ones own life is amazing.

Some amazing old photos of Taoist priests from the early 1900's

The Chinese simply observed the natural world God in the east means unified mind. Many deities are actual people that lived and gave the prime example of the divine being that we are all capable of. In god we trust means we are not responsible, a convenient cop out to behave as poorly as one wishes or to prove your thoughts are real or right. Some Gods in Taoist system are conceived as not real, a fairy tale used to point out the way of proper conduct or government of self and other, these two aspects being one and the same. The western system is mystical with two worlds higher and lower The eastern system is observation without mental conception getting in the way. The Greeks chose to use the discriminating/rational mind to understand the world around them causing the original separation. The Taoist system removes separation of high, low, god, mortal and all things unite with out friction

What can not be created or destroyed? what can not be made more pure or less pure? We are surrounded by creative energy but this needs the receptive to be complete. So it is all yes and no, such is the divided mind. When we look to nature for answers all becomes obvious with no thing left to question. So before embarking on this journey I would recommend becoming a whole real person and not be a dependent of outside authorities that dictates ones life.

What is Jin(勁) in Tai Ji Quan with a Scientific Explanation...!?
Wu Ming Jen replied to ChiDragon's topic in Daoist Discussion
Jin is manifested in the physical world.you can see the effect on an object. If one uses spiral jin and sends the opponent spinning its called spiral fa Jin. If one is practicing silk reeling it is potential energy no Jin when one uses silk reeling to unwind the opponents force then it is Jin. If you drink it with tonic water it is Gin There are many different jins that are used in internal martial arts. -
Flowing with the Tao - how can you be sure?
Wu Ming Jen replied to yabyum24's topic in Daoist Discussion
There is a flow, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. When the mind is clear and calm no self,no other all actions benefit the whole world. When we act from self there is harm and benefit, happiness and sadness and all other polar complete realities are shattered into two. Tao being One we must take are lessons from nature to know how to act. The earth does not care yet cares for all things, Heaven is not kind but shows kindness to all things(the Creative, Heaven and the Receptive, Earth) Activity overcomes cold and tranquility overcomes heat. Water sinks and fire rises. These are not mental concepts of how things are it is just the way it is, Tao. To companions of Heaven and Earth is real yin yang fusion. failure and success are fused into one. Without failure there is no success. All true opposites are fused into one, seen for what they really are. All polar complete, yin and yang phenomena are really one reality that complete each other, giving birth to continuous movement with no friction. (eternity) -
Yes it is all word play, the true mercury and true lead is non physical, essence and life. The medicine produced is non physical..What happens spontaneously is called no method. Once self disappears the primordial awareness is opened. There is no skipping steps that is why methods are good but once you drink your tea you do not need the cup any more so it is more about letting things go to reach a level of awareness. Most techniques are like road blocks unless you move them out of the way. If you see Buddha on your path kill him, that is a fun saying and word play at the same time.

Sorry to burst the bubble.All contrived and manipulating methods are consistently pointed out as not the method of direct transcendence. These secondary methods are great practices for the physical body but what transcends physical form is the point of internal alchemy. Do not use the ingredients of the temporal body to make the elixir of immortality. Use secondary methods for longevity of body mind

What are you selling
-
The great image is image-less, the true method is no method, Spoiler alert the secret is out. This does not leave anything to talk about which is counter productive to a forum. The things you mention above keeps me coming back for more at an entertainment level for sure..
-
Because there is no method we get 14 pages of useless information. Those that claim a method are called spiritual capitalist like Ben and Jerry's Ice cream are hippie capitalist. Learn immortality in eight easy lessons proven faster and better then any other system known because it is secret but now available on DVD you too can reach level 72 if you do these basic exercises that beginners do in all other legitimate systems .

The funny part is that we are all immortal not more in sages or in others.It is only a matter of remembering. Where do you come from?....I don't know..... so you come from the unknown. That should clear things up, there is nothing to know Mortals chase after worldly things and think these things are most important. Immortals see worldly things as passing transformations of non permanence. fighting on this is right, this is wrong method is a very mortal thing to do. My advise is throw it all away. The desire is the affliction that causes illness.
-
I would have to seriously disagree with this statement. But it can also be very true depending on who you are as a person.. The masters are not concerned with written material for those who like to read. Doing is knowing, knowing is doing. Wudang is a very ancient place with the architecture, many herbs and ancient tea trees that are all alive and well.The cultural revolution left Wudang ALMOST empty until Mao died and the rebuilding began in the 80's

7 hours a day training, few can last.

Visit us on Wudang Mountain at the Wudang Taoist Kung Fu Academy next to Purple Heaven Palace. We have foreigners from around the world that come and go. Classes for internal alchemy are more expensive but given the exchange rate on the dollar its affordable. Good Luck

This may help, Chi gung for physical awesomeness, Nei gung is immortality training, internal alchemy, in this case Jing has nothing to do with a physical substance produced by the body. Intercourse is that of essence and life.There is nothing to manipulate or regulate. Cook yin and yang like how cooking transform things in the material world but it is not a physical substance produced. Internal alchemy can only be taught with a direct transmission by a Master, it is a personal matter and not for discussion for the most part.

Awesome thread opentao and I am glad you have pointed out the difference between Immortality training and energy exercises. Many warnings about thinking vitality, energy and spirit are physical locations and the visualization among all other exercises of manipulation that have nothing to do with immortality training. Thank you for a fresh breath of air to the current non spontaneous, contrived and manipulated exercises thought to achieve immortality which is so wrong and the confusion it brings to this forum. Chi Gung has its purpose in this physical world and I practice regularly but it is not the method to the direct, open, transcendent way of immortality.

Medical texts describe the process of digestion,absorption and elimination as occurring naturally with out people having to arrange them. Similarly the true energy in the body rises and descends, starting from the source and returning to the source, naturally having its own place of abode, what need is there for people to visualize it in order to arrange it? If one thinks basic energy is located in a physical aperture this is incorrect. Imagine putting things in a vessel you only have so much room before it is full,now imagine using the whole universe as a vessel, infinite space with no inside or outside and the boundaries melt away. Using the temporal (limited) points in the body to understand alchemy are bad ingredients, it is important not to use them. This is called an affliction not medicine. The affliction is source of the illness.
-
Calm mind, moving body sounds like medicine in motion as referred to by the Harvard Medical Research Dept.on forms like Tai Chi and Ba Gua. .a pun on moving meditation..
-
Observation is key, eliminate the modes of the discerning mind not the shinning mind.Confusion becomes more confused in a blink of the eye. If you have something on your mind how can you observe things?.

I would agree that sexual vitality and vitality are not separate..Jing is simply one of the three treasures we are born with, it comes from non being to cultivate this increases our chi and learning not to waste this energy on temporary things. Energy turns back to vitality during sex. Non being, being we enter the primal not concerned with life or death and definitely not holding on to stagnate energies from semen retention. The whole mess is an affliction that keeps one from entering the real. The medicine is produced with the tranquil calm mind devoid of self image or ego gains. To become POWERFUL is a major affliction right there.How can one begin the true training? When there is separation of self and others the mind ground is not ready for planting the seeds of immortality.

A quick read of practical Taoism will clear up all the confusion and mis information on this thread as concerned with alchemy. Any system that relates sperm or menstruation as Jing a temporary and physical substance can not even begin to enter the real we need to get rid of the false first... physical, temporary and changing manifestations and settle the mind which is like an eye even a small piece of dust causes irritation same with mind. When dust is blowing about we shut the eyes, who can shut their mind so they can see clearly? Good luck..

Real knowledge and conscious knowledge, host and guest.I spontaneously experienced turning the light around many years ago with absolutely no effort on my part it just happened. The culture I was born in had no point of reference or any system for understanding what happened to me and how I should proceed. I have much appreciation for the complete reality school Thank you Deci for posting content that is useful.Thats all

TTB Website Does has a True Taoist Environment....?!
Wu Ming Jen replied to ChiDragon's topic in Daoist Discussion
I lost interest with the amount of mis information and practices posted that can be harmful and not Taoist in origin but a fusion with polluted matter. My hope is that people find true teachers and not take advice from those who poke around in the dark, delude themselves then believe it so much they try to delude others. Then on the up side is valuable understandings and great insight by a few members here that type. So I like to read but my involvement lessens not moved to act in positive or negative posting, warnings never seem to reach a ear full of noise.
