  1. hi


    Hello Shazan, and welcome to the forums!

  2. I've posted a few threads and comments regarding my perception of a kind of Matrix made up of the microbiological world that we exist in. I see it fundamentally similar to the movie, but vastly larger as it encompasses not only human life but all life. And has been the predominant life on this planet for as long as there has been any life on this planet.

  4. If you should question everything, then you can also question whether to question everything.

     

    Perhaps some things are better left unquestioned. Perhaps there are some paradoxes and mysteries of life that we'll just never solve.

    Is doubt a method for solving problems or a method for eliminating them altogether? I'm thinking like, a puzzle with no solution is no longer a puzzle.

  5. Hello i was wondering if i can ask you some questions about your training i see this post was almost a year old but i hope your still on here thanks hope to get a yes lol!

     

    Hi Charlie -- please note the date on posts that you're responding to when you search them on this website. The post you just "bumped" to the top of the list here was an introduction made by a new member two years ago. 

     

    Also of interest is this member's post count which at the moment is 1 -- that probably means, after creating his account and writing this introduction, he never returned to the site.

     

    The better strategy would be to "PM" the person to ask if he'd be interested in sharing information with you. You can do that most easily by holding your mouse cursor over his name, wait a second and a widow will pop up where you can select to message him.

     

    It could be that he'll then receive an email notifying him of the private message, if he has his account set up that way.

  7. The words of KenBrace describing his Neigong Forum.

     

     

    "I currently run a neigong forum but it's a very tight community that is heavily moderated. We are very focused on serious discussion and don't want disruptions."

     

    I do believe that this pretty well sums things up!

     

     

    I'm on the fence whether I should refer to it as double standards or hypocricy. Someone help me out here. Ken?

  8. I knocked a guy over once during a Zhanzhuang workshop. I was standing high mabu, looking straight ahead and he was pushing on my left shoulder while I was focussed on my right foot. The sifu (Lam Kam Chuen) walked by and told me to look at the guy, so I turn my head to the left, and BAMMO, he went back a good three feet. I hadn't done anything intentionally, and can't rememeber feeling anything special, but the guy said it felt like I'd jolted him hard with my shoulder.

     

    BUT, like TheLearner say, there's psychology involved here. When I turned my head, I Iooked him straight in the eyes, and he was possibly ready for something to happen. That jolt probably cam from inside him, and not from me. So ... sympatico is a good word to keep in mind whenever you come across anyone demostrating these things.
