Neidan vs Qigong

[JinlianPai]

Very good.

 

Alchemists work like this there maybe a direct method to generate the Golden Elixir by the originating sect.

 

Then

 

Another sect hears of this they find another way to generate the golden elixir but thru a much more lengthy process....

 

But

 

The originating sect golden elixir is brewed differently and has vast connections to the stars and earth by connecting with the golden elixir that exist in nature.

 

There is the alchemical side of meditations

And

There is the spiritual side of meditations (what forces in nature is your meds connecting you to and its spiritual affect on you).

[SecretGrotto]

I realized again the usefulness of this apt advice: "Don't feed the trolls."

[Songtsan]

Or else feed them candy....lots of it!

[JinlianPai]

Just like lightning that exist in nature as a universal expression the golden elixir in the universe as well.....

 

You never know there might be taoist who work directly with the golden elixir force....

 

You cant create something in your body that doesnt already exist in nature.

[LaoZiDao]

There's been several references to my comments so I will reply.

 

Bluemind stated that the super-secret Neidan school dude was "arguing" with me about what Taoist Yoga meant. I have argued plenty times before - like when I was in graduate school at the U of MN I argued with the General Counsel at the University - in nine meetings that took place over a year. I won the argument. The super-secret Neidan school quoting half-sentences from the Taoist Yoga book is not an "argument" and so I have to disagree with Bluemind. The super-secret Neidan school not only resorted to quoting half sentences - the examples were a half sentence about the penis standing erect, a half sentence about generative force, and a false reference to farting - all three of those examples were then lied about. The lie about the penis standing erect was that it meant energy had been lost. In fact the rest of that sentence said to gather the energy when the penis is erect. The lie about the generative force was again that energy had been lost when in fact the rest of the sentence says the generative force changes to fluid which is lost. And finally the secret-super Neidan school claimed that Taoist Yoga says farting causes loss of energy - in fact the book says that farting is fine but that shen can be lost out of the anus - so just be careful you are actually just passing gas and not shen. That is not so crazy - the same information is discussed in Bill Bodri and Master Nan, Huai-chin's tome, "Measuring Meditation."

 

So my question to Bluemind is - yes the super-secret Neidan school is super-secret but they have to resort to lying about other Neidan teachings. That is no longer super-secret.

 

O.K. so then someone else commented that if I am so focused on spirituality then why did I have to write "penis" so many times? That is a logical error. I didn't write "penis" so many times - I was quoting the Taoist Yoga book which writes penis so many times. See the difference? Now I have seen on the advertised Neigong Forum that they agree that celibacy in itself is not essential to the spiritual training. Again the Taoist Yoga book completely disproves this by detailing the physiological reasons of how jing is purified into qi energy and so it is stored up and without constant attention it can also then be deconverted back into fluid. So for the Neigong people to say - yeah Mopai says just don't practice alchemy until 3 days after sex - this is silly. As Taoist Yoga details - you have to store up your jing energy for at least 3 months just to start filling up the lower tan tien. So once you blow that stored up load - it will be a big blow of load that has been deconverted. You won't even know that unless you do the training. For example I went 6 months last year without ejaculation - so I know from experience how much energy is lost.

 

O.K. so - then also the super-secret Neidan school says yes qigong is o.k. to just restore your jing energy before you even start the "real" training. Wow - big news! (sarcasm). Again Taoist Yoga points this out in detail - there are different stages to the small universe practice. But the super-secret Neidan school thinks that 100 days of celibacy is enough (for immortality). What a joke! haha. Even the qigong courses also teach this 100 days foundation training. Yes before that the small universe is just building up "yin chi" and is not yet the "real" yang qi energy. Yes I know that most people never even reach the "yang qi" level. This is called Nirvikalpa Samadhi in Vedia Yoga and Vivekananda said the same thing - it is actually an advanced state that most people never reach but in actuality it is just the start of real meditation! I realize that qigong doesn't emphasize advance training - like I said Chunyi mentioned it once that I heard - saying no thoughts about sex are allowed for advanced training. That was in 2000. Obviously not many can hold that standard - just writing or talking about this subject goes against it. The real training is going to be done in silence in a purified environment. But then again - the real training is available for anyone who wants to do it.

 

O.K. so then ZOOM shared his enlightenment energy experience and said that I could probably quote from Taoist Yoga to confirm his experience. Indeed Taoist Yoga shares a similar experience of the person's face seemingly falling back into his head, down into his body, and then he experiences the Tai Chi. So Zoom though insists that Taoist Yoga teaches in the first chapter that the energy is somehow "shot down" to the lower tan tien. Zoom has made this claim several times but he has never quoted from Taoist Yoga to back up his claim. I urge him to do so - I have no idea what you are referring to Zoom.

 

In terms of the lower tan tien as the Cavity of Spirit-Vitality and the Cavity of Spirit as the heart expressed out of the eyes and the Cavity of Prenatal Vitality as the pineal gland - when we connect the latter two then the lower tan t'ien is created as a new energy center. So in your experience Zoom you say that the MING was pulled up to the upper tan t'ien based on the yang qi in the jing getting pulled out as a like-like principle - by focusing on the spirit light energy in the brain. So in Western science a good analogy for this is a laser that resonates based on frequency of light - so you create the same frequency and then there is a feedback as a harmonic oscillator and through resonance the laser builds up in amplitude intensity - the number of photons increase, just like pushing a swing, the increase in amplitude is from the timing of the pushing (or in this case the immutable thought that goes into the Emptiness as Taoist Yoga teaches). If the light is a higher frequency then the frequency energy intensity increases, etc. In terms of the lower tan t'ien - it is created out of the Cavity of Vitality which is below the abdomen. ZOOM referred to the lower tan t'ien as below the abdomen but in fact the lower tan t'ien is behind the abdomen. So the cavity of Vitality is the stored up yin jing energy that is ionized by the Cavity of Spirit fire descending - the yin chi converts the yin jing into yang jing or yin chi. This in turn is pulled up, yin chi, sublimated into the pineal gland as the Cavity of Prenatal Vitality which then turns it into yang chi as light energy - yin shen - which is seen internally in the brain. This, in turn, increases the spirit of the heart, the Cavity of Spirit - the yin shen, which in turn has more yin chi energy to better convert more of the yin jing energy into yang jing (yin chi). So that is the positive feedback loop of energy creation.

 

So that is the cycle of alchemy - how it works. So Zoom then referred to how other traditions just focus on light in the third eye as enough. This is true but the problem is that it can cause kundalini syndrome because too much energy stuck in the brain and Taoist Yoga even refers to this - saying when the qi rises up from the heart into the brain it causes too much energy for the person. This can work from the top down also - for example Poonjaji shot shakti energy into a young Western male - shakti being the shen laser energy - and the man was running around for a couple days in a manic state screaming that he was Jesus. That is detailed in the memoir of Poonjaji, Nothing Ever Happens. So after that Poonjaji did not use as much energy. The same thing has been described by the qigong master - when I told him how he made the center of my brain on fire - he said that back then (in 2003) he used to use a lot more energy but then the original qigong master told him not to use so much.

 

Whether Zoom had enough energy for his macro-psychokinetic experience - it is possible. My new blogpost describes the qigong master recently having some amazing macro-psychokinetic experiences. http://innersoundqigong.blogspot.com/2015/02/my-latest-greatest-with-qigong-master.html

 

But what we have to realize is that when these enlightenment experiences happen as a taste of what Taoist Yoga calls "positive spirit" - yang qi, yuan qi, yin shen energy - they in fact are a nondual experience that fills the body with strong electromagnetic energy and also moves the spirit out of the body. So the answer to this is to store the energy better in the lower tan tien. As the small universe practice focuses on - the lower tan tien is the safe store battery of the body and so for example in chapter 11 of Taoist Yoga it states that if your yin shen spirit leaves the body without enough yang qi enveloping it then this causes dizziness. I had this happen to me but at the time I didn't understand why - (the dizziness is actually a spacetime vortex) because I never thought I could experience something described so much later in the book. So I had not studied the book well enough that far along into it. haha.

 

So then readers of ZOOM's statement said yes but he needed to stabilize that experience - or as the super-secret Neidan school said about another person reporting the opening of their small universe channels - there needs to be a permanent transformation. This is true - it is true for whether it is qigong training or neidan training. Those are just terminologies - they don't change the actualities on the ground. As the original qigong master says - there first has to be a foundation built up in the lower tan tien - as the foundation for the higher frequency energy.

 

This stuff (the N/om of the belly as the fire hot electromagnetic snake energy) has been going on since the original human culture that all humans arise from - the Bushmen in Africa have a N/om snake energy statue that some date back to 70,000 BCE) - all the males were required to undergo the spiritual energy training and it is the same as the Neidan training. haha. But the thing to remember is that original the spiritual energy was used to heal the females. It's only that some males went off by themselves to store up their energy and by doing so developed the yang shen abilities - to shapeshift into lions, etc. So then the rest of the tribe became afraid of these males. Then from that origin, alchemy spread into Egypt from Ethiopia - but that is its original roots. It was picked up by Arabic culture based on the ancient Greeks studying in Egypt and then also it spread into India, China, etc. but obviously its original roots are in Africa. The point is that the energy development process starts from the Emptiness and ends in the Emptiness also - that is the nondual nature of it - it develops via the complementary opposite male-female principles expressed as body-mind transformation.

 

So sure we can all hope to learn from the super-secret Neidan school but information is not much use without practice. Since this is a forum it's based on information sharing but the Neidan school remains super-secret (except for their necessary lies about qigong and other Neidan teachings). For me personally - Emptiness is infinite energy - if someone is dependent on attacking others to put them down - in order to raise themselves up - this is by definition not a nondualist approach to reality as being a win-win infinite situation. Instead it's a typical materialist Western dualist approach to reality.

 

Against the Taoist Yoga book it's been said it contains a lot of practical information - but that on its own is nothing wrong. haha. People for the Neidan school have referenced the ancient Taoist teachers as the real lineage. This is true but then the Ch'an Buddhist debates with the Taoists record these differences which in fact are not really different - the nondualist foundation of the teaching remains and people can argue all they want about the fancy terms used in Chinese or whatever other language. haha. The Bushmen when they use their magical singing to induce the trance dance training - the words are almost always just mumbo-jumbo meaningless words. Chuang-Tzu makes this same point when he says that human language is no different than birds chirping or other animal noises that seem more or less meaningless to us humans. But as Taoist Yoga states - there is one type of dream that is real and not just a dream. Neidan can say that the small universe is fake - but the storing up of yin chi energy is measured by real results.

 

So the only real way to test the validity of the Taoist Yoga book is to try it out - practice it and see what happens. But then again the standards are very strict so success will be rare. Is it dangerous? I suppose - as I've reported I made the errors that are warned against in the book. But I only learned of those errors by going back to study the book more - despite seeking out advice from the qigong masters. They indeed help me though - more than the book - because the qigong master actually cleared out all the bad energy - the lower emotional yin jing energy blockages I had sucked in through my perineum from people over about 8 years experience. The Taoist Yoga book refers to this as "bad air" that is taken into the body. But the good news is that with continued practice and persistence then the errors can be fixed and improved upon. I am working to do so. I don't have any regrets but has it been dangerous? Yep - I accidentally pulled a lady's spirit out of the top of her head - without touching her - and she bawled nonstop for at least 15 minutes. As the qigong teaches - it is good, better and best - why? Because again we are working from the nondual reality as the foundation of the teaching - call it whatever fancy Neidan term you want. haha.

 

 

 

 

Terms exist for a reason, the same reason they exist in modern science. Very specific words to refer to very specific things. Neidan is a science, and like most science its complex. You can chirp like a bird and sing primitive tribal songs and come up with your own ideas and conclusions all you want. But until you understand anything about the Neidan tradition you have to humble down and step back a little. Not all that long ago your not even all that sure on details of what is Yuanjing, houtian, xiantian, their relationships etc. Now you're some kind of pseudo-master.

 

Many things you mentioned above are so far off from anything related to Neidan, yet you think it is the golden key based on your own interpretations. Its clear you have read a lot of materials, just not in the right way..

All we can do as taoist is be utterly honest with ourselves.

[LaoZiDao]

Whether it's true or not, I can't help but be drawn to this consideration: he provides a fairly complete and direct thing to experiment with; you seem to really only provide the seeds of doubt.

 

After near 50 pages, by the content, we're not too far from where things began....That, to me, seems unnecessarily roundabout.

 

....This will probably get the perennial "neidan is a comoplex science; it is detailed to the point that meaningful instruction cannot be transmitted over the internet; but, we're open and want to spread the understanding and offer help...."

 

---No severe offense is intended but there does seem to be something out of sorts here.

 

 

I've never tried to discuss methods, and the OP is not discussing methods either, only discuss scriptures and theory - which is all that can realistically be spoken about in a on-line forum. Not many seem to get the fact that there is no methods in texts, despite many times having much proof presented, so that is why discussions don't get far.

 

I provide doubt because there is a lot of doubt in what's being said. And this can be backed up by using texts, and has been done several times on TTB. But many people here don't even want to discuss texts and think they are more experienced and have more valuable things to say then Masters of Quanzhen Schools.

 

JinlianPai, it is a complex science. Methods are generally simple and not complicated, but theory and entire knowledge of all universal processes is not 'simple' and you cannot get true understanding from flowing with the flow and reading Wikipedia pages, and expect to have complete understanding life and death. Daoists accept true methods and nothing more, Daoist crush false schools to preserve genuine Daoist teachings. Being a Daoist is not about being soft and accepting of all things, especially at the cost of corrupting Daoist teachings. It is about standing for truth, and discarding all that does not assist the way to heaven.

[Aetherous]

One issue with receiving instructions is that usually every detail is said for a reason. When there's an old translated text that might not be legitimate in the first place, there are contradictions within it...or at the very least, there seem to be. Or more importantly for us, some details aren't noticed, due to being not so obvious upon the first thousand readings. Usually a teacher can point those things out, but in the absence of one, you can go on forever without even seeing what's right on the page.

For instance, TY says the following in a brief paragraph in Chapter 1:

"Therefore, during the training both eyes should turn inward to the center (between and behind them) in order to hold onto this One which should be held in the original cavity of spirit (tsu ch'iao) with neither strain nor relaxation; this is called fixing spirit in its original cavity which should be where (essential) nature is cultivated and the root from which (eternal) life emerges."

Upon first reading, it might make sense to "focus in the center of the head". But that's not picking up on the fact that it mentions turning the eyes back toward that area as a key aspect. Using the eyes isn't all, though...it mentions holding onto the One in that area. What does that mean? Do we know what the One is? It also mentions to do this without strain and relaxation...are we sure this is the most correct translation? Could it mean that "focusing" or relocating our awareness is a form of straining, and would be contraindicated for the practice (in SOTGF terms, it would not be "turning the light around"; in other terms it would be "inferior virtue" of doing, rather than "superior virtue" of non-doing)...and perhaps "relaxing" in this chapter means losing awareness such as passing out or going off into thoughts, rather than simply a state of being relaxed in the conventional English sense of the word (which would be ideal)?

(On the subject of translation...maybe the eyes turning inward isn't such a physical movement of them, as it is a diminishing of awareness of the visual sense...I don't know, but it's another thing to question about this short paragraph)

Just wanted to point out this example.

Also, I think all readers of this book might be missing the point even from Chapter 1...thinking that fixing spirit means something other than what it actually meant in the teachings this book came from. Spirit is a translation of mercury...and this is an alchemical text rather than a practical one. Anyone who has read it knows that it's obtuse, and only small aspects of the book give very clear instruction on various things. So perhaps we have to understand symbolism of these alchemical things in order to understand the overall point...in order to actually practice, instead of practice the wrong thing.

Exactly.

Let's talk about the success rate of the Wu-Liu Pai method:

So everybody who joins the school becomes an Immortal...?

How many percent of the students who join the school are successful in becoming immortals,

and how many percent of the students fail?

And where is the evidence that their method works at all and which should motivate people to become students and join the school?

[LaoZiDao]

Your talking about things that can't be proven online. What is in texts is what we can discuss, keep talking about wanting proofs of immortals...no such sense to keep mentioning this. No such things will ever take place. You find immortals and learn from them, Immortals have no interest in finding you, and proving anything to you

If we talk about our transmission,

the WuLiuPai school

, continuing the tradition of the Dragon Gate Perfect Truth school (LongMenPai)

has collected best practices of all methods of alchemy, Buddhist methods of practice, other methods of practicing Taoist schools, and joined all them into a single system.

Thus our school forms the WuLiuPai school, separate from the LongMenPai. Since the establishment of the school have passed more than 400 years, it has received extensive development and continues unabated. And still its foundation is strong, and successes are numerous, the number of Tao practitioners in our school is large.

 

Why was it necessary to construct a new system out of methods of the systems of many old buddhist, taoist and probably even confucianist schools?

 

Did all these systems not work in the opinion of the Wu Liu Pai founders?

Or did they simply believe to "know better" than these old established schools?

Taoist Yoga pdf page 16

Quote

When original or prenatal spirit manifests thus,

it should

be driven into the Iower tan t’ien centre under the navel to

fix it there.

 

 

I want to first of all thank Zoom for actually quoting a full sentence of Taoist Yoga (compared to the super-secret Neidan school).

 

Now keep in mind - I didn't say the information wasn't there - simply I didn't know what you were referring to.

 

Now that you provided the quote - I realize I am aware of that passage and indeed I am glad you have emphasized it, since it's a crucial sentence.

 

Why is it crucial?

 

Because if you keep studying Taoist Yoga you find that actually the sentence you are perturbed about is the whole focus of chapter six and chapter seven.

 

Now maybe you don't believe me and you want me to quote - but I do think you believe me and you can check it out yourself.

 

So the phrase "it should be driven into the lower tan t'ien" - it is first returned to again as a certain type of fire practice described in Chapter 5 where the various types of fire are detailed - alchemy being all based on fire.

 

So, I'm going by memory here, but it seems to be that to "drive the spirit down" is to use the fire of the heart to do so.

 

Now - perhaps I'm just more interested in practicing than looking up the quotes. haha.

 

As you know I have quoted a lot from the Taoist Yoga book already.

 

But so chapter five indicates that it is fire of the spirit but then says that chapter six and seven will give the full details of that technique of fire.

 

So as I said before in my own practice I got up to chapter six but since I had not studied that enough I didn't not realize its crucial importance and so I was not able to seal up the chi - or to End the Leakage as it is described in the book that Taoist Yoga is based on.

 

So to seal up the chi - to "bake it" as the analogy is used of firing clay bricks - so that the clay will be prevented from turning back into water (i.e. fluid that is lost).....

 

This technique requires very much like the Golden Flower - the focus of chapter six is the rotating of the eyes to seal up the qi - because each eye - one is the Tai Chi as the Lunar energy (the built up yin chi energy that connects back to the heart as the dragon) while the other is the Solar as the tiger - the yang chi as the true lead of the jing, water - eternal life.

 

Now to be honest I have to go back and study that chapter more - to discern the specifics more of the meanings of the two eyes.

 

But the point being by rotating the eyes those two spirit lights merge together to create the prenatal spirit qi energy - and this enables the deep serenity that opens up the inner cell of the lower tan t'ien. And so - this is actually a nonduality experience and practice but only truly achieved after the lower tan t'ien is filled up with yin chi energy.

 

At that stage in the practice you can go without food and water - at first one night - and no sleep - then one week and then a month, etc.

 

So for me - I stumbled into this without fully understanding it - so I went a week with just a half glass of water and needing less sleep as it went on - while the yang qi kept increasing.

 

The point being Zoom - as people have said - to stabilize the energy requires to keep storing it up in the lower tan t'ien.

 

Now what is quite - well hard to describe - is that at this point in the practice the whole body is filled with electromagnetic energy - as the yang qi builds up - and so literally the centers of the hands, feet and top of head are pulsating with chi.

 

So with that ability then the electromagnetic energy can convert whatever is needed chemically in the body - oxygen, water, and nutrients. It's not just a normal electromagnetic energy more like electrogravitic energy.

 

Because also at this stage then you can get a spacetime vortex if the yin shen leaves the body - and that is detailed in chapter 11 - the dizziness. It also says that after the first experience of deep serenity - the one night - you come out of it confused from that first real taste of Emptiness.

 

That is indeed what happened to me.

 

So - now the question of stabilizing that energy - as I said - I saw dead spirits - that floated in from outside to hover around the qigong master and I said nothing to no one but he confirmed that indeed he was healing those dead people.

 

I also saw the yin shen spirits that the qigong master created repeatedly out of the top of his head, each one breaking off and floating out to heal people - each one specifically created for each person being healed.

 

So the point being - that when the Cavity of Original Spirit is activated as the Tai Chi experience then it is positive spirit in the sense that the light is seen outside of your head - not just inside the head - ....

 

And so - to stabilize this requires to envelop the yin shen with more yang qi in the lower tan t'ien and this is how Chapter 10 details the practice - the immortal breathing - so the small universe as this stage has the prenatal qi going in one direction while the yang qi goes in the other direction.

 

There are other parts in the book where the teacher describes his practice of driving the spirit down to his lower tan t'ien.

 

But it's important to keep in mind that the prenatal spirit is more than just light - but the spirit-vitality that is itself manifested as the lower tan t'ien.

 

So - as Master Nan, Huai-chin points out - the experiences at this stage are not literally the spirit rises out of the top of the head, etc. I mean - yes I did see that happening - but the only way I could see it happening was that I was already holographically, in a sense, transformed past-death - into that astral realm - and so too your own physical body is transformed.

 

In other words - the lower tan t'ien isn't limited to a physical location despite it being focused as such - the energy is holographically interactive with the Emptiness itself as a kind of spacetime vortex that is continuously generating energy.

 

For example the original qigong master said that he can now see light in his lower tan t'ien all the time - just by turning the light around - focusing on the Emptiness.

 

So yes - all of this I did not understand at the time since I had not studied Taoist Yoga and certainly as I said I need to study what that means more - the two eyes - and yes that is the secret of the Golden Flower.

 

The thing is - that unless the heart is totally pure with virtue then chapter one can not be achieved on its own - and this is repeated later in the book in chapter six and seven and later. It is stated that indeed the masters taught that all was needed was to drive or "fix" the spirit in the lower tan tien as is taught in chapter one.

 

So what this means is that "knowing the location" of the Center of Prenatal Vitality - the center of the brain as the pineal gland - is not enough - since the Tai Chi is an experience of positive spirit that is nondualistic - it is "neither this, nor that," the neti, neti logic of Buddhism as is repeated in Taoist Yoga.

 

Now - so as Nan, Huai-chin teaches people can access any of these realms of experience but that is different than stabilizing at that level.

 

So for me what happened is that I began to stop practicing just because the energy was too powerful! And so then the qigong master stuck his finger to my forehead and he shot shen qi into the center of my brain and then I felt this strong magnetic bliss in the center of my brain.

 

Now at that point my energy channels had already been closing up but I knew that the qigong master had caught sort of the tail end of what was left of my training to leverage the work I had done.

 

But then I got real curious - did what the qigong master - would it be permanent or would that go away also? Because you have to realize - I actually moved nine times in one year - I mean the experience - I could feel people's energy in the other apartments in the building I lived in. I suddenly realized I was surrounded by people with all these energy blockages and I was interacting with the blockages - I was actually sucking up people's illnesses like some electromagnetic vacuum cleaner. haha.

 

O.K. so then I stopped practicing for a couple months and my energy channels really closed up but sure enough that magnetic bliss in the center of the brain did not go away.

 

So that is the Cavity of PreNatal Vitality - the pineal gland connection to the qi of the Emptiness itself.

 

As Taoist Yoga says - there is no "wondrous light" in the Cavity of Prenatal Vitality. Not yet - the Cavity of Original Spirit as the Upper Tan T'ien does not exist - not until the training is done! But again when that is achieved the light is not just internal nor is it just external - it is a nondualistic holographic experience. This can become permanent.

 

So what happens as per the small universe training, is that the increased yin chi energy from the lower tan tien then feeds the Cavity of Prenatal Vitality - so that there can be increased Emptiness focus which then actually increases the spirit energy of the Cavity of Spirit.

 

Now think about it - how could the qigong master create "yin shen" after "yin shen" - multiple yin shens - each one different for the purpose of healing different people?

 

That is actually prenatal spirit energy in action - through that deep small universe practice of alchemical transformation.

 

I'm not saying I understand it - but I do think that studying Taoist Yoga more will reveal more answers.

 

For example the heart as the Cavity of the Spirit is also the source of the Dragon but the Dragon, alchemically, is hidden in the Tiger - to create the Lower Tan T'ien.

 

So how does that happen? It happens because the Cavity of PreNatal Vitality is the Emptiness focus of qi energy - that actually increases the qi energy of the Cavity of Spirit and envelops the spirit fire - since the Yuan Qi is more powerful than the Yin Chi that is the heart fire.

 

That is how then, when the yin chi is sublimated, by the Quick Fire, strong breathing, that it then creates more prenatal qi energy.

 

What Neidan emphasizes is that there is not enough standing active exercise in the beginning - but Taoist Yoga explains why this is so crucial - because Taoist Yoga repeatedly explains, as per the book it is based on, that unless there is strong Quick Fire, then the qi will get deconverted back into fluid and lost out of the body.

 

So at first, when the lower tan t'ien is built up, as Chapter One states - the Patriarch feared that the student would not know the proper method and so when the positive spirit as prenatal qi manifests in the lower tan tien it causes the penis to shiver and then the qi turns back into fluid and it is lost.

 

So the first step is to master the Quick Fire method. What I recommend is the horse stand with the thighs parallel to the ground.

 

The original qigong master trained like that at Shaolin - two hours, no moving, each day, horse stance, thighs parallel to the ground.

 

Now to do that, the lower tan t'ien has to already be filled up with qi energy - yin chi energy - or else you simply don't have the strength to not move for 2 hours like that.

 

So what is really going on???!!

 

What happened - at the end of three months - his third eye was fully open.

 

In other words - he had "laid the foundation" and - had achieved up to Chapter 8 of Taoist YOga - and how --

 

He, by doing 2 hours of horse stance like that thighs parallel to the ground - he had....

 

 

 

Taoist Yoga pdf page 16

Quote

When original or prenatal spirit manifests thus,

it should

be driven into the Iower tan t’ien centre under the navel to

fix it there.

 

 

When I recently talked to the other qigong master he said he had done 1 1/2 hours nonstop of horse stand with thighs parallel to the ground....

 

I know, just in my experience with doing horse stance like this, as the yin chi is built up in the lower tan tien through celibacy - the thing is that the horse stance is not just physical celibacy but it also empties out the mind - by sublimating the yin chi up to the Cavity of Prenatal Vitality.

 

The qigong master told me that the main reason people can't achieve the real Emptiness is because of lack of will power, lack of kidney energy to go into the Emptiness.

 

So in actuality the more you do the horse stance, the more celibacy is achieved, then the longer you can keep doing the horse stance - and this requires controlling your dreams obviously.

 

For me I just wake up and go into horse stance with thighs parallel to the ground. Slowly you can hold it longer - and build up the yin chi energy that way as the foundation of the training.

 

The original qigong master said he does that eye rolling exercise every day! That is what merges the Solar and Lunar qi energies and that is what "drives" the spirit to the lower tan t'ien. But he first pointed this out in his healing book as an exercise to heal the eyes - he didn't reveal the alchemical reason behind why he does that eye rolling exercise everyday. haha. He just said it keeps his eyes healthy. But then the Solar and Lunar meditations are the focus of Level 3 of SFQ for Enlightenment - just as it is also the focus of chapters six and seven of Taoist Yoga - the two eyes as the Solar and Lunar energy - to finally seal up the lower tan t'ien to enable the qi to get into the inner cell of the lower tan t'ien for deep serenity of Emptiness practice.

 

So that one sentence that you emphasized actually has a lot to it - and again I would have to study chapter six and seven more to understand it better but then anyone else can also do the same.

 

I just don't have the time right now.

Your talking about things that can't be proven online. What is in texts is what we can discuss, keep talking about wanting proofs of immortals...no such sense to keep mentioning this. No such things will ever take place. You find immortals and learn from them, Immortals have no interest in finding you, and proving anything to you

 

Wrong!

Counterevidence about a lineage which creates Spirit Immortals by simply storing up Houtian chi, a method which is on Zhongliquan's list of those methods which allegedly not work

which disproves Zhongliquan's alleged allpervading knowledge and his absurd list, further this evidence disproves the claim that all systems which create Spirit Immortals work with the same system or method, that only prenatal chi and not postnatal (houtian) chi can create Spirit Immortals, that Spirit Immortals have to go through the level of Earth Immortal (everlasting youth) and almost all other claims made by opendao and by LaoZiDao in this thread:

 

 

Search on google for Magus Of Java filetype:pdf and read for yourself about the method of his school:

Simply accumulating, compressing and merging yin and yang houtain chi from heaven and earth.

No ultra-complicated exercises or system with prenatal chi necessary for creating Spirit Immortals.

Not all systems for creating immortals are the same, like people in this thread claim.

The point being Zoom - as people have said - to stabilize the energy requires to keep storing it up in the lower tan t'ien.

 

Not energy, original spirit (yuan shen) allegedly has to be projected from the upper tantien into the lower tantien and mixed with vitality there, which allegedly stabilizes both and hinders further leakage.

 

I know that, but The Secret Of The Golden Flower method claims according to my interpretation of it,

that yuan shen can be kept and built up in the upper tantien until it crystallizes on its own into a pearl of pure yuan shen without having to be mixed with vitality for stabilisation before.

Neidan starts with a logic and ethic. With big attention to details. With responsibility for own words and actions. With a respect to the tradition. With an accurate work to systematize as many facts as possible. With a life long commitment to practice. With a reject to false views and popular mistakes. With a strong will to stop own "interpretations" and hear what teachers say. It's called "an ability to learn".

 

Tao becomes a Secret when imagination, illusions, and stereotypes control somebody's life. Tao disappears when people with evil hearts try to find it. Then like children they start to cry or scream: "bad taoists, give us a candy". Or "immortal doesn't exist because I received no candy this year". It's called "cannot learn yet, blind and deaf".

 

Everybody can see who is who. Look in the mirror. Read your own posts. The secret of YOUR success or failure is there. Not on forums or somewhere else, not in somebody's actions or words. You deserve what you are.

As usual: sententious words, no evidence.

 

 

Let's talk about the success rate of the Wu-Liu Pai method:

So everybody who joins the school becomes an Immortal...?

I doubt that.

How many percent of the students who join the school are successful in becoming immortals,

and how many percent of the students fail?

And where is the evidence that their method works at all and which should motivate people to become students and join the school?

 

 

Why was it necessary to construct a new system out of methods of the systems of many old buddhist, taoist and probably even confucianist schools?

Did all these systems not work in the opinion of the Wu Liu Pai founders?

Or did they simply believe to "know better" than these old established schools?

If you could make an effort and think 5 minutes about my "sententious words" you wouldn't ask such questions... You know nothing about the differences between various daoist and buddhist methods collected in Wu-Liu Pai, you know nothing about the foundation that connect all these methods, you know nothing about Wu Chongxu, what he has achieved BEFORE he created a new school. But you express your doubts in a disrespectful manner and think somebody will explain you anything?

 

All the answers on such questions people can easily get on their own, if they make a small effort and start to read what is written and not what they want to see. If they cannot (as in your case) then nobody will proof them anything. We're not at the market and not in the court...
