Sanity Check

I try to learn something new every week. Over time improvement has been noticeable. This is something life coach gurus call self improvement. (Which fight club famously compared with mastication.) Recently, I have found a new adjective for this process. "Evolution." I feel like I am evolving. I wonder if this is a path God favors for His followers? It used to be common to debate: do you believe in evolution. I contend a person cannot truly believe in evolution unless they practice it as a lifestyle.

Was I the only one who read the title and thought of this.

A popular catchphrase of finance is to summarize the history of market and economic trends with: "the rich get richer while the poor get poorer". Does qi operate in a similar fashion. If qi attracts qi, then having a large pool of qi may make it easier to attract more? Which could be an advantage? In which case those with large quantities of qi, receive more qi. While those with smaller pools, tend to have qi be diminished over time? Small bodies of water like lakes and rivers are not affected by tides. The moon's tides will affect an ocean sized mass of water, but not smaller ones. Which could be yet another advantage for larger masses of energy? In which case, are there advantages to having a smaller quantity of qi that I am overlooking? I would definitely expect there to be some advantage yet cannot for the life of me find it. What observations and logical deductions can be made of qi based on natural principles and science? Let's have a deep philosophical discussion.

Deja vu

The only thing I remember about Flatliners from the 1980s/1990s is its about medical students who flatline their hearts then resuscitate themselves in an attempt to give themselves near death experiences (NDE). The summary for altered states says "genetic memory" plays a role in the film. In the book Travels, Michael Crichton participates in hypnosis or meditation to make contact with his ancestors or former lives. He says he connected with a gladiator who lived in a past era. There could be a case for trauma being written to ones DNA. The same with famine and other conditional circumstances. To some extent our life choices also have an impact on DNA. But also remember that there were lengthy and comprehensive studies done on newborns addicted to crack. With the conclusion being that living in a negative environment being surrounded by negative people is more debilitating to human development than being born addicted to crack. In terms of nature versus nurture, it is possible that study proves nurture or choices matter more than DNA.

*Reads the summary* Shades of Flatliners with Kiefer Sutherland or Michael Crichton's book Travels?

This man has an inspirational story and says he may be evolving back into a monkey. This man also has inspirational stories & may be trying to evolve to become more like a fish. And so maybe there is hope for people to become more like koala bears if needed.

If I had to guess, an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan might require OP to be more specific & detailed on the practice they were engaging in. A basic treatment process might take whichever practice caused the injury and to invert it to some degree. Excess yang injury might be treated with a yin approach and vice versa. In your case however things likely snowballed to where that is no longer viable. But a diagnosis involving the specific practice used could shed light on details in ways that can be useful. As far as I know there is no one in the world who knows how to treat ki deviation. Even in past ages when there was greater knowledge and more masters there still was no knowledge of how to treat it.

I think it would take multiple visualization sessions for ki deviation to occur. It wouldn't happen in a single session. If it happened in a single practice it had other causes.

Scenario: The man in the iron mask is unjustly locked in prison for 40 years. Having no interaction with women, he winds up being very sexually repressed and masturbates to excess in an effort to obtain physical and spiritual satisfaction. His captors deploy a multi pronged approach in an effort to compel him to destroy himself thus freeing themselves from any karmic wrongdoing. 1. Efforts are made to mold his sexual repression into twisted forms of extremism and sexual perversion. They try to influence him into blaming women and various demographics for his troubles. They try to influence him into hating his fellow man wanting him to lash out in displays of violence and bloodshed. 2. Efforts are made to fan the flames of his sexual repression to compel him to masturbate even more to destroy his own kidneys and health. It ends with him ejaculating once a day for 20 - 30 years. 3. His food and water contain substances which produce chronic feelings of nervousness, anxiety, unease in an effort to compel him to kill himself. He feels terrible all of the time. His behavior and personality are erratic. His appearance also appears unstable and unhealthy. Somehow this multi pronged approach fails. None of the main objectives are reached. Their next move is to place women in his cell after coercing and threatening them to behave in a seductive manner towards the sexually oppressed prisoner. Needles to say he is a man who wandered for decades in a desert who suddenly discovers water. They blame him for any overindulgence or mishaps which occur saying everything is 100% his fault. ... How would karma be distributed in cases like these?
