senseless virtue

Jing is Shakti. Treat her well and she will be a most wonderful and enchanting mistress for all time. Shakti is your vitality. She takes on many flavors and gives your life its meaning. Some people treat Shakti badly. They neglect her and abuse her by not letting her be free and empowered, but instead subject her to indulgent behavior and psychological outbursts as if she was a mere slave maid. These people then go thinking what they have done wrong to feel so drained and sick. Praising Shakti is the original and ultimate Feminism. Think about it. Feel into it.

Energy is resonance first and foremost.

Oh, it's another attempt at telephone marketing. Why are you doing this to me? Can't have peace even on this forum now! Do you even get a commission for bringing in new customers, or are you just one of those clueless chumps who thinks they are doing everyone a freaking favor?

More Pie Threads Posting on the row On consecutive days O'er the nonsense we go Laughing all the way Replies pop up making 'ping' Making confusion alright What fun it is to browse and sing A daily shitpost tonight! More Pie threads, More Pie Threads, More Pie all the way. Huh huh! what fun it is to write On consecutive days. More Pie threads, More Pie Threads, More Pie all the way. Huh huh! what fun it is to write On consecutive days. A day or two ago I thought I'd make a reply And soon, WMPs of all kind Were arguing for their side, The memes were mean and dank Misfortune seemed their lot They got into a circle wank And then they got upsot.

Huh huh! what fun it is to write On consecutive days.

The More Pie Creed I believe in More Pie, the internal way, maker of real miracles, of all things academically valid. I believe in Jim McMillan, the only open teacher of the style, transmitter of the lineage past. More Pie from More Pie, ball lightning from ball lightning, true More Pie from true More Pie, taught directly, not appropriated, consubstantial with the true More Pie; through him all gains were made. For us WMPs and for our pursuit he came back from Java, and by the internal training was incarnate of More Pie power, and became the dude. For our sake he served in Vietnam under conscription, he got exposed to Agent Orange and developed prostrate cancer, and died from health complications in accordance to typical medical prognosis. He was glorified by us into heaven and we think we are in the right of our minds. We will come again in glory to judge other internal arts and our trolling will have no end. I believe in the internal training, More Pie, the giver of bragging rights, which proceeds from associating with More Pie and Jim McMillan, which with More Pie and Jim McMillan is proven safe and scientific, which has been objectively observed by random scientists. I believe in one, true, universal and transmitted More Pie tradition. I confess one scientific study to be more than enough evidence even without peer review and I look forward to impressing people on Internet forums and the life of feeling unjustly criticized. Amen.

I had the strangest problem for a long time that I was living too much in my head. Not feeling with my heart and not allowing the heart make natural choices nor intuitive discernment. The end result was that I was deferring a portion of my free will and commitments over concerns of "getting everything just right" in some vague intellectually satisfying manner. I was expecting the help of others provide me wisdom, but the real wisdom only started to dawn on me when I accepted my own complete independence: no one can ultimately make the choices for me, but their help can only help me to tune into the meaningful psychological and yogic motivations that I hadn't acknowledged fully yet -- and even then I had to use my heart to affirm confidence and commitment to what I find likable. Every authentic traditional system is fundamentally good and will bring the results you seek if you persist in correct practice. This much is clear. If you are still hesitating, it means that you either aren't using your heart or haven't found the right thing. Hopefully you will find clarity on your way. There are other sleeping meditation methods than Sleeping Qigong, but that is an excellent system. Generally, sleeping methods are the direct route to most accomplished meditative results and enlightenment. Outside of qigong realm there are also Buddhist (tantric) methods of turning sleep into meditation. Regardless of the tradition, one of the core concepts is that deep yogic sleep requires good health, so it will take commitment and a complete system to get there. Trust only established lineages with deep results! The problem just with all neidan/alchemy flavored styles (like Sleeping Qigong) is that they really recommend committing at least an hour continuous practice each day. Having sleeping practice kind of bypasses time loss concerns, which is something to keep in mind.

You might want to consult other people in a separate thread that attracts more attention with more fitting topic name. By the amount of time you are willing to invest, I would say that Fragrant Qigong, Flying Phoenix, and Pangu Mystical Qigong are three good choices. Many people praise Fragrant, but it's very incompatible with other styles. Flying Phoenix would develop your own healing capability as you progress, but you might find some of its stance training a bit demanding to begin with (although there are also sitting practices). Pangu is very easy to practice I have read. All of them can be done within 20-30 minutes, but FP is something that becomes much stronger if you commit more time with it. Fragrant Qigong has guidelines to limit practice duration as not to cause energetic overload, so it's naturally kept short as you might like. Fragrant and Pangu are very simple. Flying Phoenix is a sprawling system with over two dozen meditations. I will mention that there are yogic methods for different hours of the day. Have you heard of sleeping meditation before? Sleeping practices are as healing and relaxing as you might imagine, but they also become very spiritual early on.

You didn't ask for opinions, but I hope you don't mind me giving mine anyway. Make a detailed list about when and how you would like to practice, and what kind of outcomes you would like to have. How much you have free time and when and in which circumstances of the day would you practice the best? Would you like relaxed practices or intensive physical routines? Are you seeking for martial, healing, or spiritual development first and foremost? When you reflect on these and present your preferences, then the good people on this forum might be able to give good suggestions if you are still searching for something new.

Asking questions with Eric can be interesting, but above all getting clairvoyant answers might not help you as much you hope. Your current wisdom is the limiting factor for how much you will be able to gain benefit from any clairvoyant consultation. Also, any answers will only reflect your current health and karma. You can be as specific as you want: the results will then reflect particular exercises over complete systems or what a school may be able to offer you. You may also ask Eric about your optimal diet and different housing options if you are searching for new apartment, for example. His clairvoyance sees what energetic changes you might face with your life style choices. Overall it's interesting to do self-inquiry with mystic backing, but ask yourself if it's absolutely necessary for your wisdom and wellbeing. It might be more helpful to feel deeply in your heart what you actually like doing and just stick with it.

I have never understood why More Pie people are homing into this "objective evidence" argument all the time. I think you might misunderstand what the scientific method is. It's not about some random PhD types witnessing demonstrations in somewhat controlled quasi-laboratory environments and so forth writing about their observations, but a meticulous system of peer review where you face fierce critics and skeptics of all sorts who should be able to conveniently verify your exactly stated falsifiable hypotheses by conducting the same procedure you have described with great detail and care. Why is it done like this? Real science requires controlling and eliminating biases of all type out of which confirmation bias is the most important. Hence the argument about strictly objective observers and observations falls short of modern scientific standards: there is no reliable science without peer review. Moreover, the abundance of pertinent cancer cases lends little credibility to doing further research with More Pie with ethics and safety in mind.

@idiot_stimpy Meet you at Thunderdome then. Come defend your honor!

@welkin @Boerewors Hi friends! I saw what was happening around here, so I put the emergency lights and sirens on and peddled here with my car as fast I could. *HONK! HONK!* Hop on! Everyone is welcome aboard the clown car and there is always space for more people. I'll drive us all to safety, outside of mean and disrespectful rebuking. The rude people here don't understand how sad and miserable a clown can actually feel inside. That's why there is only laughter and smiles in where we are heading now. Sure, there is the danger of your face being hit with occasional cream pies thrown by your fellow passengers and then strategic banana peels on the road might make the clown car difficult to maneuver for great comedic effect, but it's a safe ride overall. Plus it's very enlivening and fun! It's safe to be with us clowns because no one would dare to disrespect and mock us for being silly folk, lest the abusers are revealed to be complete and dead serious fools themselves.

No.

I wish my user handle to be renamed fool's virtue if it's alright.

@DSCB57 Thank you for being forgiving. You clearly have a kind heart of shining gold. The situation with ausar was bad enough, but I must confess that I made it worse by having my own bad trait surface. I have had an issue with mixing my feelings of right and wrong with judgemental reactivity and self-righteous indignation. It's a perfect recipe for confrontations. What remains of even good causes if they become clouded by selfish concerns to straighten other people's act? Absolutely nothing good. I must apologize again for tempting you to an unnecessary quarrel.

I apologize for trolling you a little. This was poor conduct unbecoming of me. There certainly was no real ill-intent or aiming to sully your reputation or pseudonym, but it seems you took it very hard on yourself. I am sorry if you felt bullied. There is much that could be said about respect and disrespect around GM Doo Wai and his teachings. I can only look into my own involvement and apologize for being involved with a judgemental attitude and thus fueling the fires of confusion.

Thanks dwai. I would like to apologize because I now realize I was being in a too annoyed state of mind to write meaningful replies in this topic.

I would like to apologize for my excessively accusing tone when I over one year ago presented some unfavorable articles about teacher called Guru Siyag. I don't know what is the truth of the matter nor how honest the linked articles actually are, but I should have been more careful and polite when presenting my concerns.

Great idea. Could you also please make a system adjustment that the thread remains visible to unregistered guests? Otherwise a lot of information becomes suddenly inaccessible for many people. An alternative solution suggestion: Give half-mod rights to any interested and established teacher with good reputation, and also give them a shared sub forum where they can manage threads on their own teachings. Call the sub forum "Sifus Corner" or something similarly suitable. @zen-bear, what do you think?

Lucky you! To anyone seriously interested in Buddha dharma or any other sacred tradition with relics, do yourself a huge favor and go acquire a relic to bless your household and neighborhood. This is my own wording of the topic. You may safely consider it flawed. When death comes to sentient beings, they get to stay in a transitional dream-like existence called bardo or limbo for a while. If they have self-delusions or karma left, they will receive vivid images of six lokas (hell, pretas, animals, humans, demigods, and gods) and be in particular tempted by copulating images of different beings after which entry to a womb is often followed. This uncontrolled transmigration continues death after death with increasing karmic retributions for engaging in self-cherishing actions. Such is samsara. The six lokas are the Desire Realm. Above that the Buddhist cosmology says is the Form Realm with different types of heavens. There beings do not suffer or experience any desire nor birth through womb. Most of these heavens will gift beings with a limited lifetime however, and some heavens even experience some type of cosmic cataclysms that periodically end their existence. The exception is the Pure Lands where the power of the Buddhas anchors their inhabitants unless they consciously seek to be reborn elsewhere. It's a technical, but highly relevant point that all these Form Realm heavens can be accessed and experienced during one's mortal life through dhyana-samadhi states which are types of meditative absorption or concentration. There are many ways to reach these absorptions like anapanasati taught by the Syakamuni Buddha or various Pure Land devotional methods such as chanting holy names (Buddha or his/her heaven). Entry into any of these Form Realms requires cultivation merit (which is alchemy of light very generally) which either stabilizes your concentration during bardo or creates an attuning to some Pure Land, so that you receive visions of Buddhas helping you and showing their Pure Lands into which you can enter then. It has also been said that the extremely virtuous go to these pure heavens straight without any bardo, and that the extremely sinful go to hell straight without any chance of higher rebirth during bardo.

Pure Lands come in two varieties: first when realizing the emptiness of dharmakaya and second later when the light body is realized. The immediate physical presence of all Buddhas is Pure Land because their presence is beautifying all creation. This can also be felt in their relics which have a real purifying power. So far I understand that the effective difference between the two varieties is that the light body realization establishes a heavenly paradise in the Form Realm Pure Lands in which sentient beings can continue to cultivate in safety and under guidance without falling back to samsara. Each of these heavenly Pure Lands is different and unique to each Buddha.

Yes I read. Do you wish to elaborate now how did you practice your FP meditations? I didn't put any words into your mouth. But this praise did come out of your own mouth: Which way the wind blows today, I wonder? My congratulations for mastering both energy and anecdotal claims unlike anyone else. A rare accomplishment, but I now see why you are so attracted to Ausar. Maybe Sunn Ye Gung fits you better than Flying Phoenix. Not every style of practice fits everyone. It is a high level cultivation system. Your lack of results only speaks for your practice alone. The DVDs are clearly made for beginners. In contrast, Sifu Terry has repeatedly offered to impart advanced teachings in person when the student is ready after mastering the basic material. Gaining enlightenment and liberation are the highest imaginable goals. Sifu Terry and my other teachers have always spoken that finding a correct yogic practice is only one part of the required work. The role of proper personal counsel by an advanced or even an enlightened master can never be replaced. Dhyana-samadhis, which are greatly facilitated by the unique Flying Phoenix system, are in fact complete Buddhist correspondences to the three Daoist dantians and their alchemical function. Hence the FP meditations are not lacking in terms of any spiritual or alchemical cultivation. Sure I can. Sifu Terry and Grandmaster Doo Wai are in perfect polar opposition to the deception and darkness of Ausar. Right, but did you know that you are writing to an adolescent ignoramus with a highly cultivated ego and anecdotal self-centered opinions? I agree: your relation to dictionary is lacking. Clairvoyance literally means "clear seeing." It seems you have confused the word clairvoyance with mediumship or channeling. It's true that clarvoyance can be accomplished through various means including channeling, but this has been the first time when someone has claimed to me that clairvoyance has anything particular to do with channeling low-level astral entities or dabbling like that. You should be fully aware of the distinction between being a skilled master of an art, be it carpentry or kungfu, and a fully realized master. There is the specific mastery of skill and then being enlightened. These terms are often called siddha (accomplishment) and mahasiddha (great accomplishment) in Sanskrit, but you probably already knew this. Why are you so easily confused then? My usage of the term was absolutely clear in the context it was provided. Ausar can be a powerful lesson, no doubt. Hardly. Nothing I have written was meant to be baiting, insulting, or dealing with your character, although I can agree that calling you "my young padawan" was sarcastic and out of place in contrast to the rest of my text. I can apologize if your sensibilities have been hurt. I don't claim to understand and probably would have no idea either. I see. You seemingly didn't pay attention in the Flying Phoenix thread, but I already disclosed that your darshan master Ausar had creatively fabricated a price explanation video to one of his expensive scams, which was called "Blue Buddha Ascending to Heaven". The article in question is now removed because the scam was detected, but it can still be reached through Google cache and the video itself is visible here. The video has GMDW talking about monetary value, but it has been completely divorced from its original context which is the Chi Materialization art. What do you have to say for that deception and trying to cover it up when it blew? There are dozens, maybe hundreds, of minor mystics offering some sorts of energy transmission via Youtube. I can believe that your benefactor can do something similar, so that few unfortunate and gullible people are falling for the trick. My advice has always been to verify the source of blessings and only get transmissions from fully realized masters, unless you want to be branded with samsaric energies. I have made no judgement or disparaging remarks other than the padawan bit. There is an inward and outward dimension to terms master, guru, and sifu. The inward meaning can only be known through love, and the elaborate scenarios that you talk about relate only to the outward accomplishments where love is not present. Interesting monology, but not relevant to true sifus who are not teacher-fathers by title only. For having nothing to sell, you peddle many wares. Pure nihilistic trolling at its finest. Such disrespect and you are probably still completely oblivious to it. Are you for real saying that a Kungfu grandmaster in good health would be "struggling to keep moving and maintain consciousness"? Do you realize how absurd things you are saying and projecting out? I am posting here Sifu Terry's generous advice again: Sifu Terry gave you here the only correct advice. The purpose of all yogic training is to permanently elevate your awareness and consciousness, not to shut it out. To do otherwise is a deviant path, which is what all my Buddhist teachers have directly either stated to me or would agree with no question. I am very sorry for your misfortune and poor health. Since you mention spinal problems, it's my sincere recommendation that you seek the face-to-face help of Stillness-Movement teacher Michael Lomax (Ya Mu on TDB): qigongamerica.com. He has much experience in treating spinal diseases and may be able to give you some degree of permanent improvement. Read his or Brion's (kempomaster) accounts on this forum how effective their treatments can be. Good luck to you with everything.
