  1. Looking for these for a friend, she has all the workings of a chi deviation waiting to happen -can sometimes think her toughts on the subject are better then specific way the system dictates -may think at times you can fill it yourself -ordered mantak chia books -learns from books -has beem doing her own freestyled moving meditation for years making me think shel bring bad habits engrained habits jnto these chigong practices who has good threads for her to read? The search is horrible
  2. Good chi deviation warning and educational threads?

    Il check it out thanks, To be clear i ment she doesnt have any deviation she hasnt started doing qigong im saying the way she thinks makes her vulnerable to if. Shes starting to delve into real qigong rather then the physical park stuff but brings mentalities of jeet kune do, trust your gut how you shoukd do things over specific teacher instructions my intuition will show me the way i know better then the teacher. She says she doesnt but i see it in her behaviour these kind of things, she also is very smart , n willing to learn- but she needs to bexone aware of qi deviations n the risks from better sources then me telling her. I dont think she gets how eazy you can go wrong home studying from cources n mantak books. she also has this whole i do things snd “feel energy” type of thing i notice. Needs to know just that feeling energy or sensations doesnt mean its good. shes found michael lomaxs stuff now but will possibly branch out or mix up things so im looking for threads where she can learn what it is - and what you shouldnt do im pretty sure @Earl Grey Was big on linking threads and discussions trying to avoid new starters from being foolish
  3. Hey everybody, so i saw that chun yi lin is doing some kind of thing where he and a group of tibethan monks will do different chants twice a day fir 7 days. To bless in the new year. theyre doing a bunch -A prayer for all living bekngs -diamond sutra -heart sutra -grand compassion sutra -long gevity sutra -medicine buddha sutra -transforming all negative karma chant so im wondering how do these work? Whats the mechanics behind them. how does a chant transform negative karma or open up uour heart centre etc
  4. Hello, Just some random toughts, i dont know much about buddhism. i was under the impression buddhism didnt involve evoking deities and such. I tought it was focussed purely on liberation But i saw that that tibethan buddhism is filled with it from glimpsing. Saw that the medicine buddha is depicted as blue, so i wondered are these really buddhas? Or a deity they picked up from hinduism? As i tought buddhism somewhat came from that.
  5. What are the mechanics behind chanting?

    Interesting.. i just read online that deities are the power behind chanting. Well atleast some chants
  6. ok, so are you saying shiva and the medicine buddha are the same deitys? Medicine buddha was not mentioned in the article
  7. What are the toughts on this? Short tiktok video of A christian pastor prophet doing spirit exorcising them out of people this seems very fake to me https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMF3XoUKP/ Has anybody witnessed spirits being forced out of somebody would it look like this? he also does alot of prophet ministring where he knows alot of things he shouldnt be able to know Is this a conmen, is this god? I always wonder
  8. How is it am abrahamic relegion though if it beliefs in a cosmic mind?
  9. Is it safe to direct energy to my testes?

  10. Semen retention debunked

    im about ready to sign up! Had me at tony but the concrete rock, D swinging and ball dangling really sealed the deal for me!
  11. Good day everybody, so ive been wondering how does the god of the bible fit into the other cosmologies of just about any other ancient tradition. Is he referred to or recognised in any capacity by buddhism, hinduism, daoism etc? i know he shows up with the gnostics who considered him to be the demi urge that created physical existance and the earth to trap souls is he only referred to by christians? Or do other traditions recognise and place him somewhere in the cosmology ? i would be interested to hear about, i havent found much so far
  12. Evidnece for the super natural

    in the first video what the heck is going on there?? Some look possessed, w the screaming n yelling n behaving like animals. Whats going on there exactly?
  13. Hello everybody, Theres something ive been wondering about. with qigong,do people tap into a specific type of energy thats outthere in the universe? Often specific to the system, or developing a specific type of energy or is there an immortal being at the very top of every lineage providing that the energy to its lineage? Whats the nature of it or is this just sillyness
  14. i guess i ment outside of the abrahamic religions though i know little about the jewish religion so i could look into that. Il look into the hindu mystic as well, im just trying to get a sense of how he fits in according to other viewpoint. The abrahamic religions hold him as the god of gods the most high and all other beings / deities would be (fallen) angels and other entities according to the bible. The koran is fond of thinking everything jinn so hes basicly the all mighty. With that kind of status Other ancient traditions must have some kind of note on the abrahamic god within their cosmology or viewpoint
  15. Hello everybody, so theres something im wondering about, so im always hearing people talk about being part of a lineage. — but what does that actually mean, specificly? for example once you start stillness movement they say they will tie you into the lineage energeticly, l what does being tied into a lineage entail? And what is a lineage, specificly - in terms of qigong systems? It isnt just a system that has stood the test of time
  16. What does it mean to get tied into a lineage?

    Are there any other people that could elaborate on what exactly entails a qigong lineage?
  17. What does it mean to get tied into a lineage?

    I see, so your saying being tied into a lineage is being tied into the entities autic field? What would be examples of agendas contrary to the person? your saying they werent able to study a new system?
  18. Is there an immortal being at the top of every lineage?

    there must be a general idea on this though? around origins and wether its led by an immortal or say some kind of deity or entity
  19. Is there an immortal being at the top of every lineage?

    Yeah intried searching the forum fir this, not much came up id be interested to hear more on this
  20. Qigong and astral travel

    Wow, i had never heard of this, is this why certain entities actively seek out human contact. are these the types of spirits engaged in shamanism? Im not very fammiliar w it but i often heard it said that in shamanism they have access only to the realms pretty close to this one. A bit lower and a bit higher
  21. Is there an immortal being at the top of every lineage?

    Im not sure but i definitely cant be certain. But at least one person fairly high in a tradition told me there was somebody non corporeal at the head but who knows, thats why i was asking peopkes take
  22. Your opinion about reiki?

    Thats interesting.. Yeah that reiki healers are often drained is pretty apparent if you look around id say most of them, ive seen it discussed here often as well. if ling qi was ever a part of it.. id say those days are long gone as you can learn it in a weekend nowadays and actually emitt chi, what i found interesting is though is that the person said usui left out that when usui climbed kurama mauntain where he came up with reiki, that he met sojobo there. Who is according to him the source of reiki. I looked up sojobo and hes the king of the tengu demons. That are said to live on that maintain. and that those symbols they attune you with are related to sojobo. he said its a kind of nasty energy and that it contributes to why many reiki practitioners are the way they are. Apparently this is fairly known in the erea around the mauntain that this is reikis origin. That seems inline with what earl grey stated about the effect of those symbols so i found that interesting, because a surprising many people have dark experiences w reiki, feeling hands on them, dark night mares immediatly after etc
  23. Your opinion about reiki?

    Its interesting that youd say that. i heard the origin of reiki is a tengu spirits / demon From the mauntain. And that that it also siphons small amounts of energy from you. Its not universal energy according to what i was told theres a pretty big group of people that have had dark experiences with reiki, i was a bit surprised about that originally
  24. Your opinion about reiki?

    I heard the source of reiki is a tengu demon. I cant say for certain wether its true. but there are actually a whole lot of reiki “masters” that have denounced it saying its no bueno It isnt spoken about much however theres also an alarming amount of people you can find that have had very negativr experiences with reiki and also dark visions and other weird things happen after or during just my 2cents
