liminal_luke Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) I want to join the group but I`m "not the kind of person they are looking for." It`s something of a catch 22, you see. My interest in learning a little bit about Mo Pai, both the nature of the techniques and the likely results of practice, disqualify me. Oh well. I guess I`m doomed to practice some untested and unscientific method like Spring Forest or Stillness-Movement or Flying Phoenix. Thank goodness I still have a few matches around if I need to light a piece of paper on fire or something. Edited July 10, 2017 by liminal_luke 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted July 10, 2017 Well, if you held no expectations you could learn more about Mo Pai just to see what it can do for you. I bought a "Fire Starter" at a gun show I attended a couple years ago. I don't need magic to start a fire. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, the LDT is some vast receptacle that requires filling? Time based belief systems and practices are a waste of time and energy.

Just curious Ralis, what is it that people ask you to teach them? The way I heard it is that first you need to create the empty vessel before you can fill it, and according to the literature I am vaguely familiar with, you create the empty vessel with yin energy before you can add yang energy. So, a teeny weeny empty vessel should be easy to fill quickly, however I don't recall hearing the local MorePai experts say anything about cultivating yin energy first. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would not the Yin connections while being seated on the ground automatically do this? And the deep mental state, would that not help? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mudfoot Posted July 11, 2017 In these Mo Pai threads, there is always the argument of (scientific) testing, ruling out fraud. And, since there are fakers and scammers galore, that is a good argument. Better the real thing than a scammer. But then there is the question of validity. Lets take the example of the copper wall projekt. A person can cause electrical surges. So? There are so many steps beyond that that remains unproven. 1) Is high measurable electrical surges correllated to better healing results? 2) Is high measurable electrical surges correllated to a higher degree of spiritual accomplishment? And if so, is that insight, enlightenment, Awakening, creating an immortal spiritual body, or what? If anyone have access to research on these two points, please add that research here on this marvellous thread (this troll-infested Circus) so that this discussion can move forward. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the deep mental state, would that not help? I don't think either of those matter much, of course a quiet meditational state helps with many things, and we can be quite certain that it is not automatic, it requires a certain kind of intent and movement. I'll tell you a little secret here, yin energy goes up, yang energy goes down, but you (and by 'you' I do not mean you personally, I mean the great unknown all of you out there in the distance, everyone) have to make it go up or down, not by sitting around with your finger in your nose (well possibly it could help a little but it's extremely wimpy compared to our method). We did it with certain chi kung movements while standing, on a carpeted floor. There is no need to sit naked on the ground with a copper wire inserted in your butt and connect the wire to a grounded rod. We never sat on the ground, we always sat in chairs, on a carpeted floor which was in the cement floored garage of my chi kung teacher. This process made us into powerful fountains of yin energy, screw the yang energy. edit: The 'process' I speak of here is not related to the sitting mediation but to the standing moving meditations, commonly known as chi kung Best wishes.

Mudfoot Posted July 11, 2017 I do this in standing positions, with my attention on specific processes. Your words would easily be used to describe what I do. Gosh, are you going to use that against me now? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a relationship between electrical fields and magnetic fields, of course. Some research suggest energetic healing is more of a magnetic thing than an electrical thing.

Brian Posted July 11, 2017 13 minutes ago, Mudfoot said: Rational people don't pursue spiritual goals? Not saying that. More like I'm not aware of a model which correlates "spiritual accomplishment" with "electrical surges" AND I am not sure what you would measure for "spiritual accomplishment" to use as data. For "better healing results," it is fairly easy to arrive at some sort of metrics (tumor size, wound recovery rate, or what-have-you) and then do data analysis.

I say rising energy, and rarely I say Earth energy, but ya, energy rising, that's the ticket. from book Quote “And what is the yin ch’i like?” “The yin is passive. It can only follow, never lead. It can absorb energy but never initiate motion. , Quote “When people walk on coals, it is yin ch’i that they are using,” John said. “Sometimes it is the yin of their own bodies, sometimes it is the yin ch’i of spirits. The yin absorbs the yang of the fire.”* Quote John came up behind me and pulled my shirt out of my pants. As with Handoko, he put a knuckle up against the small of my back, in the area of my kidneys. Suddenly I felt like I was being pumped up with air. I could feel my belly distending and my bladder being squeezed; I wanted to pee. There was no other sensation; no cold, no rush of energy, no electrical discharge, nothing. Just the feeling of fullness. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allinone Posted July 11, 2017 yang Quote “Can you show us what yin and yang are like, individually?” Andreas asked. “Yes. Touch my hand.” John extended his arm, and Andreas touched his fingers with his own. John sent a burst of ch’i to his fingertips; immediately Andreas pulled his hand back as it he had been burned. I had suffered the same display many times in the past. “Hot, isn’t it?” John laughed. “So when you demonstrate by setting a newspaper on fire, it’s yang ch’i that you send down to it?” “Yes.” 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allinone Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Quote “Sifu, can we hold this yin energy you transfer to us inside our bodies for long periods of time?” I asked. “No. You can only keep as much yin as you have yang. When I do a demonstration like this, the yin energy I give you leaches from your body almost immediately. It is a waste of my own energy, which I have to replenish by meditation.” Quote The existence of yin energy as a phenomenon that was associated with the energy field of our planet could possibly fill in many gaps in field theory in general. What was it? John had said that its behavior was similar to that of an electromagnetic field, that an insulator could block it, and that its flow could be easily disrupted. .. Quote John had mentioned that a student had to be at least Level Three to be able to sense the yin; that a human being, by his own nature yang, cannot sense yin energy directly. Rather, a human senses the presence of yin by its reaction to the yang. Here is an unidentified force that leaves no trace of itself, that we cannot feel inside our own bodies even in excess (unlike electricity, but perhaps like gravity), but whose results I had witnessed, experienced, and felt.

allinone Posted July 11, 2017 interesting quote Quote When we are finished with Level Three, we send our yang down to the hui yin. There it gathers as much yin as we have sent down yang. After a time, maybe even months or years, yin and yang rise together sry about spamming. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allinone Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Also important is there is different systems. "The Lim persons example". He got about lvl 50-55. He wasn't Mo Pai. And he did realtively short time his levels. And other notion is levels give out some "humming" sound, so you can tell the level. I think that point is valid negotiation point. level 50 power Quote It was because Lim is obviously more than Level Fifty. A blow from a man like that runs through the bone marrow and crumbles the bone to dust. Assam was hit at least three and maybe four times; as you can see, there is not much left of him. His skull is mush; Lim was unable to inspect the body to see if it was me or not.” interesting is this that Lim was blind and couldn't sense the power difference..But its ok i think. (that quote means something else, i read, i took it out of context so its easy to make those faults, but it says all about reading comprehension) Edited July 11, 2017 by allinone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allinone Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) there is a max level Bodhidharma. 1st Chan Patriarh. And the successors are known. Lots of reading material and facts inspection possibilities. from book Quote “You know,” John said, “in the entire history of China, there have only been two people who have made it all the way up to Level Seventy-Two. One was Tamo, or Bodhidharma, who taught the monks at Shaolin. The other was Chang San Feng of the Wutang- Pai, who was also one of the Headmasters in our school’s lineage.”11 wiki link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodhidharma Edited July 11, 2017 by allinone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
