Do your thing and enjoy, please just don't tell people to do standing Kunlun on their tippy-toes (bad advice).

It is definitely not what you may think, but by keeping things simple we are keeping the boat afloat. This practice is becoming very popular and with that comes lots of interest and many offers from many people. Kunlun could EASILY become a cult if we were so inclined, but Max continues to encourage people to be self-empowered and to not follow anyone. He gives the practice and sets you free. You don't need to see him again. If money was the motivation we could make a HELL of a lot more of it and give a whole lot less. His teachings are so good and so rare that he could charge into the tens of thousands of dollars for the opportunity to learn from him and people would pay it, but he will never do that. There ARE good people in the world. Max is one of them. Xeno, I know you don't know Max personally or know anything about the actual experience of Kunlun, but we are trying to do a good thing for the world and it seems to be working. For your own sake, please try not to be so cynical. It makes for a miserable existence.

Max does not recommend trying Kunlun standing. It is more effective and safer to practice sitting. Those of you who have studied with Max please respect your teacher and follow his instructions. Xienkula1 you are wrong about the practice. Please don't give bad advice. Enthusiasm is understandable, but you must master these practices yourself before advising others. He will let you know when that time is right for you to share or teach.

Xeno, Are you actually into Taoism? If so, could you please describe the Tao and every possible experience one might have? Be thorough now so that no fearful soul is left shivering in the dark. Please answer all questions such that you effectively eliminate any possibility for a unique subjective experience. After all, people SHOULD know all of these answers BEFORE considering placing that first tentative foot on the path. Take the "mystery" out of the Great Mystery. [For those of you who are hopelessly literal-minded, this is the point where I remove tongue from cheek]. Seriously, man, is your "feels like flying" reference taken from my old roller coaster spoof? I am genuinely curious why you of NO experience continues to insult all of those here who have had direct, first-hand experience with this practice. What is that about? It doesn't make sense. You remind me of the people in school who would stand outside of a party and tell everyone going in and coming out how much the party sucks without ever going in themselves. Of course, they all just shake their heads at your crazy arse because you obviously don't have any idea what you are talking about.

Many of you have been asking about the other levels of Kunlun and Red Phoenix. Well we have been doing this for about a year now (publicly), so Max has decided to offer levels 2 and three of both Kunlun and Red Phoenix in July in Maui, HI. We'll post the details once we get it all worked out.

Nice try. Following that logic: Love is "magic" Opening your body to it's highest potential and experiencing your own divine fundamental nature is something to be EXPERIENCED. Kunlun IS Taoism. Cut your head off and then you can begin to understand the Tao.

Yo Minkus, It was great meting you. We had fun, eh? Hopefully we'll see you again, man. Chris

What happened, in truth, is that Max came to New Mexico and went into an underground cave. While in a kind of meditative hibernation, many beings visited him. A sample of his DNA was taken (from a previous agreement) and utilized by the scientists at Los Alamos to create several ET hybrid clones. These enhanced clones have supernatural abilities (because of the ET genetic) and they are programmed to be extremely compassionate toward humans. They are working to help advance our race. Because of the high level of energy that runs through his physical form, the body tends to burn out. When this happens a new clone is released to take it's place. The new clones are delivered to me at a private location. I brief him on a few current details to add to his massive informational database, and off we go. So far we have had six clones working with people, but they are improving with each version so that they are lasting longer and longer. I believe "Max" will be with us indefinitely because he is what the world needs. Just kidding. This whole subject of two Max's is absurd. Go back to your practice.

Hey Jan, Thank you again for your hospitality. We had a great time too. Hopefully we will see you and Padma in Haute Savoie. That would be a blast. Ciao, Chris

Thanks boys and girls. Turning 40 is weird since my practice makes me feel and act like a 24 year old all the time. Vroooom! We'll be in Haute Savoie, France doing a free lecture, but after that it is on! Gifts can be left at the door and we'll form an orderly line at the end of the lecture where I will be thanking folks individually for their unexpected generosity and thoughtfulness. Then it's birthday suit time (my personal tradition from day one). Sweeeeeet. Ciao, ~Chris P.S. Geminis are the bomb. Happy birthday Yoda.

Hey now, don't be misrepresentin'. I chose to sit for my own reasons. When you open up to deeper levels and then get a new corresponding transfer it can really take you out for a while. You'll see. When I met Jenny Lamb I slept for a whole day, When I met Rinpoche I slept for two. It is all good.

From Max: Hello Taobums, What is Kunlun? It is the one sympathetic vibration that connects every living thing in the seen and unseen world. It is the one law as the essence of unconditional love and compassion. It bridges space, time, energy and matter. The shaman see it as a glowing spiderweb of living brightness, or the glue that gives connectivity to all things within the great mystery. Kunlun is a practice that allows us to express our individuality with total freedom of body, mind and spirit. Kunlun isn't power, it isn't something to be harnessed within the body, rather it is a free flowing essence, giving the practitioner understanding of this one law, to enjoy life for what it is, to become compassionate towards self and others, to become the drop of individuality that merges with the ocean of wisdom. Kunlun is the natural essence of our being, free of obstruction, it emanates through us from the source and empowers us through personal interaction with each other. It is direct experience with the Tao. It is personal and subjective. Once you are tapped into it, amazing thing begin to happen. My understanding may be different or not in perfect relation with others, but it doesn't matter, what's important is the effect of its virtues on you. I am just a simple person, still seeking to understand the Tao. I don't consider myself a master, nor do I call myself "teacher," I just like to be friends with others on the path, through compassion for those seeking the greatness within themselves. What is Kunlun? only you can answer. Max P.S. Thank you Tao Bums for all you have done to help spread Kunlun to the world through your personal testimonies and experimentation.

Hey Rain, Who are you referring to? And where do I find the memo?

Max will be teaching level 2 of Kunlun and Red Phoenix 2 and 3 this July in Maui.

Hey man, I am checking with you to see if you have tried the practice from the book yet. If so, what do you think?

But you always start the same. Up to the point where you have completely "stepped into the house," left foot first.

We are always open to new places, so we'll see. Also, those interested in promoting our school should run any materials by Max via myself for approval before publishing and distributing. Send to: [email protected] Thanks. Chris

We just added a Paris seminar for May 27-28th. Details on our site.

Max says that you should only practice every other day because you are sensitive. Try this for a month or so as your body adjusts. Don't look for anything or compare, just let go as much as you can each time. Every day is different. Great meeting you, man. Good luck.

Yes, this is Max's student.

Rain, I have figured out who you were. I think from now on we will require all TaoBums to write their "handle" along with their name on name tags. Yes, I had fun working with you. We were getting somewhere when Max shifted gears. All good though. You did great.

Max gave him permission to teach.

Rain, were you there? If so, sorry I didn't know.

There are 9 standing postures for each level, using reverse breathing and Red Dragon Qi Gong.

'Twas emptiness, my man. Emptiness. Max would beat me publicly for napping. Just kidding. Perhaps a little humiliation, but alas my state was the result of the new form of spirit travel he showed me while we were doing it. Sent me into a "death" experience and it was slow coming back from the void. Knocked my socks off in a very good way.
