  1. Variations of Microcosmic orbit?

    you are a very advanced practitioner of qigong. which i am sure is satisfying both health-wise and spiritually. from this stage you can either go on maintaining or deepening your qi adventure which does not have any clear goals or a process or a timeline or levels as you rightfully say or you can venture into neidan which has clear and few goals or a process or a timeline or levels but has next to none chances of success. your choice, your karma. thats basically it from my POV, i would say again that you are streets ahead of others teachers lie. if they would not they would not get any paying customers. its that simple.
  2. Variations of Microcosmic orbit?

    sure. its right there in DDJ 上德无为而无以为;下德为之而有以为. The rulers are non-doing, the subjects are doing (for the rulers)
  3. Variations of Microcosmic orbit?

    it is called first yang or true yang as in Wang Mu of course everything in the universe being qi it is also a qi, but not the regular kind circulating or felt in the body, hence it is 'true'
  4. Variations of Microcosmic orbit?

    depends on what IT is. quite a few practicers feel qi moving in various places without their intention, including over the MCO route. sometimes this qi movement is a deviation sometimes it feels good. but in all cases it is NOT the neidan MCO. chiefly because what moves in the MCO is not qi.

    yes i doubt it;) IYKYK;)
  6. Variations of Microcosmic orbit?

    thats the thing. with those neidaneers it is hard to even pin down what they are saying because they vacillate and contradict themselves at every step. But here is an example from under the silliest title ever: of course. thats what i mean. an effort is required first it absolutely does. with the effort first. the effort is not just the drudgery of sitting still or even breathing into DT or any other nei-whatever activity. the effort is secret;) oh look...thats the much touted oral tradition. hehehe;) Btw the wiki is wrong. wu-wei does not mean any of the highlighted things. Instead it means all and any kinds of actions which are performed by another party on your behalf.
  7. Variations of Microcosmic orbit?

    it could but it was published in 2011 while this strange idea gained currency 10-20 years earlier, right when the neidan fad was still budding ah thats pure gold thanx my pleasure. 1) not a single neidan text says 'sit still and eventually MCO will get running on its own' 2) its just common sense that to get something you gotta do something ... he said oral...

    oh my! i had no clue, could you provide a link or a name...or anything at all interestingly this statement is not so much wrong as meaningless. also it is a hallmark of a western made-up lineage (except @Apech of course, Ankh wedja seneb) thats why it is so fascinating to find out where did they get that and why it is important for them yeah, IYKYK . screw those inquiring minds. nobody told them to get their hopes up.
  9. Variations of Microcosmic orbit?

    whoa brilliant! you got the MCO running?! why dont you tell us all about it - how, when, what happened, what is next? inquiring minds want to know!
  10. Variations of Microcosmic orbit?

    yes great job i am surprised anyone knows that much. For my research could you please point me to your source for this this POV crops up now and then but i am puzzled where it comes from. thanks!
  11. Variations of Microcosmic orbit?

    this is correct this is very correct depends on what is meant by the pill. nevertheless this is correct for the middle/low level methods hmmm...i would say no. it kinda sounds right i will give you that tho
  12. More Unpopular Opinions

    lemme guess, drinking age? cant put my finger on it but there is a typo somewhere here
  13. Spotting a fake master

    but of course. how to determine if a clock is broken? easy. if a clock under inspection agrees a with a broken clock at least once...then it is broken too. not that there is anything wrong with it! i see you pooh-pooh the tremendous power of wishful fantasizing;)
  14. Elaborating the golden pill, my progress and doubts

    of course not. black is white. the obviously troubled posters are not troubled. at all. there...there ...all is well buddy, all is well.
  15. Spotting a fake master

    i am just wondering, could it be that you perhaps just agreed with someone who needs a professional help? a serious question.
