He ZuDao Posted April 19, 2007 This might be a slightly more useful introduction: I've been studying the same internal martial art style, and school for about 14 years, and have been a closed door student of a private teacher for the last 8. I've been focusing on qi gong/nei gong almost exclusively lately (the last 4 years?) That doesn't give me much of a foot hold to understand the Tao, but it does set up a frame work to begin understand energy/qi. I got my start with the usual mix of bad (awesome!) shaw bros. movies, and devouring any and all books I could find on the subjects, some I found more useful than other. Particularly early on the possibly fraudulent Deng Ming-Dao books (great reads, regardless of the truth or reality of them.) and Frantzis' books. So now I would like to learn a bit more about Taoism, speicifally the internal alchemical practices, that lead to "immortality" and "enlightenment". A little bit of "dual cultivation" might not hurt either Dreamwork, and non-psychedelic "neo-shamanic" practice are also important parts of my practice. Other than that I'm a Heavy Metal Mofo!! possible Psychotronic Viking Raider, and Othrodox Discordian Inquisitrix. That is all Earthpeople He ZuDao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
