Then, where is Chi coming from? Of course, it is from the universe

Isn't that post-heaven qi only?

While I was going for a no mind meditation, I felt the upper dan tien getting active, taking that iconic yin and yang shape. And then I turned it fast, felt a pressure, I wouldn't really say it was painful. Felt energized ,lots of goosebumps.

Now that I documented it, Im gonna ignore it, since it doesn't seem anything significant. Not really a goal to have feelings when I am trying for a no mind.

The vital force and element excersises are going smooth.

I still can not figure for the life of me how I am supposed to see an object in a 360° point of view.

Proudly reporting that I have been keeping at most of my practices while doing better than what I was at mundane matters. Financially and healthwise I would say I improved so much.

I find myself much less prone to anger comparing to two months ago.

I have managed to heal a lot of minor pain and aches off of myself simply by removing the etheric part of wherever is hurting and pore breathing vital force into the area. I would really like to get skilled and knowledged to the point where I can fix my eyesight one day. It surely requires more finesse than simply pumping vital force into my eyes.

Two more months and I am enrolling in a Kyokushin dojo. Stoked for that one. 🤠

I would rather have no soul compared to writing this absolute bullshit.

and this might surprise film buffs - or anyone that pays attention .... find the 'cuts' in this sequence - once the fight starts  .... fight scenes usually are a montage of multiple cuts lasting a few seconds  , shot over and over again until it seems 'right' then stitched together later

Wasn't this one shot? Or maybe its very cleverly cut, I don't know.

What the hell is Psychic Sea?

Was actually making good progress until I had to stop a bit because I found a work and also exams came up. Gonna get back in business. My health is getting much better. Today I felt very agile and weightless. Only encouraging me to seek more.

I can't stand incoherent string of words like this. Just say what do you want to say without the mystical (incoherent) part.

While I was in Okinawa, I was blessed enough to learn some Motobu Udundi and some Goju ryu as well, which I might pursue again soon, but I think WC and the animals will always be my core.

Oh man, to train in Motobu family's style is a raging boner for most Karateka. How was it like, if I may ask?

Nvm 🙂

sounds like there's some unresolved guilt issues in relation to sexuality to deal with there. 

 

Were you raised in a very religious family?

This question is not for me but coming from an Islamic background, I have seen masturbation in a negative light for the most of the time (not that it stops me from it but the guilt). Even after years of quitting the religion I still have some programming from it. Impossible for me to sleep after a session unless I shower ASAP, for example.

@Maddie If you had to list one thing, what would that be on what I will write down below 👇

What was that one thing that held you (assuming there was one such thing) from transitioning, that you had to shed before commiting to your decision?

Maybe so because very little of that book makes sense to me.

Exactly why I think it is overrated  

 

No one can understand it so what’s the point. A true master can outline it clearly and simply with 0 room for misinterpretation 

Glad someone else thinks so. I have tried to read it five times, some parts are interesting but that is all.

Near perfect on concentration nowadays. Visualisation still needs work but I have come a long way. 

Kinda feeling insecure about whats forward next both mundane and non, but I think its high time I progress.

Mouni Sadhu instructs that one must visualize an objects from all sides, as if we gained an infinite amount of eyes. How? I am not a 4 dimensional being. I could stretch an object in my mind to see all of it but that is turning it into a 2 dimensional thing. So that can't be either.

Seeing it from multiple angles seem like it misses the point as well.

For the easier side, also tasked with combining senses when visualising, such as sound+sight. That is easy.

Last but not least, pore breathing. Breathing with ones all being. This might differ in eastern practices I guess, I am following through Initiation Into Hermetics by Franz Bardon. Something I can already do. I wonder its just placebo or there is something else going on. Would I even care as long as it works? 🤔

For the record, I wish people would stop taking sides and would start thinking for themselves. 

Man I couldn't care less, I am a college student not a representator of LGBT community or last line of defense about traditional stuff. Its just dumb y'all are going on circles about whether somethings form is its nature or not. How many pages has it been the same argument?

I don't know about gender stuff but this threads form isn't its nature anymore. If there is a way to mute it please let me know.

Here we go 

This thread has long been turned from a QnA to one guy arguing with everyone. I am guessing now he is gonna argue about how he wasn't arguing so. 🥴

as trans but since they're very religious I've been told repeatedly that I'm possessed by the devil and going to hell

Wouldn't you be a victim therefore not go to hell if you were possessed

Because , I can assure you  MY gender is stable and firm  !    NOTHING 'threatens it at all  .

 

I am staunchly male and heterosexual !

 

I do have a complaint though ... that gay guy next door , parades around naked inside his house with his curtains wide open !  Who does he think he is ! ?    -  Now, you might think I cant see into his windows from mine , however , if  I go out into the back yard and stand on a milk crate and part the hedge  ......

That indeed is so disgusting, can you send a picture of him so I can be more disgusted? ☺️

Best day to start training is just like the best day to plant a tree... twenty years ago.

Second best day is today.  Don't let the past keep you from the present I say.

Damn right . Thank you for the encouragement.

, I met and studied with one of Bruce Lee's first generation students/inner door and trained in a combination of Jeet Kun Do and Shao Lin Five Animal.

Thats amazing! Say, did the JKD you have trained in had its own identity, or was it just a mix of different arts?

training and when recovered, returned to play my former forms as able to this day, though my emphasis is internal as I move on toward my 60's.

As a senior, how do you think your body and mind would do at your age without martial arts I wonder?

Jump in the pool I say and enjoy the process wherever you are.  It's an age like no other with many avenues to many styles available no matter where you are. 

 

Welcome to the Bums mate!

Pleasure to learn from the experienced, and thank you very much
