You didn't have to bring it ( prior stuff) up all Sir, You could've just started fresh and seen for yourself if there's bias about Just your thing and would've found out that you're entitled to whatever system you are into. IMO , Start fresh, just speak for you. and don't have everyone else's errors be your burden. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
X2471990 Posted June 23, 2017 I've seen some things stateing long men Pai is not a nei Gong system it is a wai Gong or more of a outer practice. It isn't really the truth Long men Pai only teaches people in seminaries wai Gong practices. That's probly where this mis information comes from. In fact long men pai has practices that fill up the Dan tien and compact it etc etc. These practices are very rarely taught though: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can start there. I would say the vast majority of people who seek Mo Pai do so to become Goku, and they never realize that is not the end goal of the system. (Please do not ask me what the end goal is because it would start a fight here.) We wind up with all sorts of mentally unstable people who are ADHD, Bipolar, or some form of personality disorder being drawn to Mo Pai like moths to a flame. I would not say that Mo Pai is kept secret so much as actively repressed, any time any real conversation about it comes up a riot occurs. People make up nonsense practices and try to convince others they are real Mo Pai. The end result is all you can find is either misinformation, or an epic flame war. To be honest it just is not possible to talk about it in public without a riot occurring, so it is best to find private communities that can screen out trolls and unbalanced individuals. I hope that answers your questions. Edited June 23, 2017 by Ilovecoffee typo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
X2471990 Posted June 23, 2017 Yes Ilovecoffe I agree with that and that most people who are into this are not really seeking spiritual development they are only seeking power and if you look closely there is actually a Qi component to conversations like this mostly one person trying to overpower another. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a PPD you would be able to hide posts that are not relevant to the topic and can even lock the threads to prevent comments.

X2471990 Posted June 23, 2017 Well I'd love to share what I know and be of any assistance to the right people. Please understand that powers or siddhi is really more of A byproduct of spiritual cultivation. Yes these systems are more of a form of esoteric Kung fu then shamanism because you are pulling in forces from things around you to become more powerful but ultimately with most of these systems it is spiritual development. Kung fu means the merit of hard work nei Kung is the merit of years and years of deep meditative hard work. And there are many similarities with the long men Pai and it is a nei Gong system. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't seem too complicated or too much to ask, I think -- perhaps starting with not trying to foment unrest within someone else's Welcome thread. I am certain that you can begin an interesting discussion in a new thread in a more appropriate sub-forum, if you wish. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kar3n Posted June 23, 2017 55 minutes ago, Ilovecoffee said: For anyone wanting a translation from pr speak to English, this is a shot across the bow saying shut up or we will do it for you I am sorry you feel that way. Please allow me to clarify your misunderstanding; I am simply asking that everyone remain civil and abide by TDB rules and ToS when discussing a topic that is known to result in what you describe as a riot. I am sincerely looking forward to some informative posts without the sniping, insults, and over all impertinent tone that typical MoPai threads project. It is my hope that we can all learn a thing or two. I will leave you with some comments I made regarding how the MoPai threads play out. I have always found it to be disheartening, even before I was part of TDB staff and I extend these same pleadings today that I did then. Remember the seeker... On 1/4/2016 at 10:28 AM, Kar3n said: And the blame game and judgements continue into yet another thread; this one. Are you all not tired? If TDB mod and admin team is not doing something to your liking or you feel slighted or treated unfairly, create your own forum with your own rules. It really is that simple. Is arguing, making accusations and defamatory remarks about another, founded or unfounded, really leading to anyone's growth in the spiritual journey, no matter the practice? I wish you all peace in your hearts and hope you all will be able to find closure, moving past all of what has been said in the damning posts I have read regarding MP and WMP practitioners. Much love to you all. On 1/4/2016 at 11:33 AM, Kar3n said: My comment had nothing to do with any specific person or accusation, but rather the mess the lot of you have created. As someone who went to the MP threads to actually learn something, I can tell you all that what you all are doing to one another does not help the seeker, nor does it shed a positive light on any of you. I urge you all to bare in mind the seeker when you participate in any thread. edit: typo 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

X2471990 Posted June 24, 2017 notice I said long men Pai and mo pai I very interested on why you all become so focused on mo Pai. Long men Pai has the same teachings. With it's nei Gong system minor differences to some extent. Why all this outrage? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

X2471990 Posted June 24, 2017 I understand some people with this information become over zealous but not everyone is out to dangle something over people's heads.

liminal_luke Posted June 24, 2017 X2471990, I for one am would be interested in a genuine discussion about Mo Pai and Long Men Pai. If you have something to share about the practice, how you came to it, what your experiences have been, how you recommend other Bums learn about it if they`re interested, etc...I think that discussion would be very well received. But if you`re only dropping by to tell people that they`re mistreating you -- before you`ve asked or answered any questions -- well, that`s a conversation with a lot less meat. People react the way they do because of history. Perhaps you`ll be the one to surprise us and start the really productive and inspiring conversation that this topic desserves. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
