What makes your word any more credible than than the next guy/gal? it's pointless with this attention vampire, he use claims of credibility but also say yiu have to pass his tests to get the information. It's set up so you have to see things his way before he tries to prove things to you, but in the meantime he baselessly argues because it fuels the idea that he is a serious and important so much so that a group is against him in a forum. He claims followers but the ones I've come in contact with said they didn't agree with his views an he doesn't represent their opinion. If I'm wrong, then pleas have your people come here and say so. Your just here to soak up the focus of people and fight to reinforce your ideas..it's messed up cause you deliberately choose to deny it to yourself automatically without examination on the possibly of your being incorrect. God pointless circles, these kind of idiots are good for drama and letting off steam, not much else. I suggest not tsking this joker seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least you've got the balls to face things when called out, too bad it on my extends to online things as you have admitted to not practicing mo pai but being an information peddler with delusions of preserving something that's already free domain and many people have. Here's how I feel after a conversation with ilovecoffee an after he affirms his myopic baseless opinion over and over again.

What makes your word any more credible than than the next guy/gal? You can certainly do that, and it will take much longer, as it is a less efficient way of doing things. I am not saying to wait till retirement, only that meditating an hour at a time and sitting and breathing is accomplishing 2% of what being in actual meditation would accomplish because this is what John himself said. We present Jim's instruction unaltered, which by the way is not the same document Small Dream has provided, not that it matters. We also present this as well as private instruction from Kosta: https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/44486-long-men-pai-nei-gong-and-mo-pai/?page=46#comment-778937 These are quotes from Kosta's book the Magus, quoting John directly: “In Level One you fill up your dantien with yang ch’i. You must be in actual meditation to achieve this, and it is time dependent." "Perhaps in one hour of sitting, he is actually in meditation for 1.3 minutes. That means he is meditating only 2.2 percent of the time, which means that if he sits for one hour a day, he needs ten years of training ..." "Meditation is like the borderline between sleep and waking, between consciousness and unconsciousness.” "I will enter total meditation—like the borderline between sleep and waking, okay?"

They were not instructions on how long or often to train. Were any of us able to enter the state of "actual meditation" in an hour or so, then it would make sense for us to meditate for 30 minutes after attaining that state and do that every day. Entering the state of "actual meditation" allows us to work smarter, and not harder, so that is what we aim for. If you wish to do more work, accomplish less in the time you spend training, then sitting and breathing is the better option for you.

Well here ill tell people. I was emailed and cussed out by ilovecoffee, even bribed to try to get me to change my posts on the forums here. He berated me for violating a confidentiality deal he wanted me to swear on my honour. Then proceeded to share with you all the inner workings of his group. But continues to condemn me for his view that I've broken a promise to him. Now every time he can't think of a come back, he recycles the same argument over and over again. In an attempt to be cool with the guy I tried giving him what he wanted an publicly in this thread promised wouldn't reveal things, then did it, so be could feel justified in his feelings. It shut him up for a while but now here he is again, stuck on stupid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allinone Posted August 26, 2017 lvl72 Bodhidharma Chan master, lineage back to Buddha. Many books written by memory who heard what Buddha said.

Ilovecoffee Posted August 27, 2017 13 minutes ago, 小梦想 said: You do like to quote this. I have said in many previous posts that the dantian cannot just accept unlimited amounts of qi from the start. It is like a muscle that needs to slowly over time be stretched. I would go an find some of those posts but I am sure you have more free time than me to find such things should you not believe me. Even if a beginner could sit for 10 hours a day, 8 days in a row in perfect meditation then he still won't have filled his dantian. The dantian can only take so much new qi a day. just like a muscle can only grow so much each time. This is why people who want to get big go to the gym every day. Now that I have posted Jim actual instructions it can be seen that he also said exactly the same thing I have been trying to tell you in many posts. Your mentor says the same things I say, so why do you insist in arguing with me. If I say the exact same thing Jim says and you argue with me, then you are also arguing with Jim. Do you think you know more than Jim? Do you think somehow you will magically make quicker progress than him? Do you think yourself better or cleverer than Jim? The time in actual meditation doesn't matter that much as a beginner because the dantian cannot accept that much qi per session. You argue only because you wish what you believe to be true. Wishing doesn't make things true unfortunately, mostly hard work and sacrifice does. When we meditate, we try our best to get at least 30 minutes of "actual meditation", you are welcome to sit and just breath if that is what you feel you need to do. What John actually said is clearly stated. To be clear the instructions you posted are not the same as we have directly from Jim, much has been omitted that is included in the video instruction.
