My ppd is there now but I am unable to post a new thread still. The green start a topic button isn't there and if I use the "create post" button my name is greyed out.

While it is true that the exercise appears in Pythagorean cultivation as described in the Golden Verses, the Longmen version represents a structured system. What was shared in the previous posts is the core, but it is important to note that there are additional steps involved.

Naturally, if you are intellectually honest (and I am not suggesting otherwise), you might wish to debate the origins of this exercise. However, it seems plausible that its source has been obscured by the mists of history.

I am seeing criticism but honestly this lines up with inner alchemy and life experience I've had at pivotal moments. It's like luck meets preparation in a way. Hopefully in those cycles you are aware enough, and can break them. Otherwise we repeat. I will also say this "memory exercise" would happen pretty spontaneously in meditation for me when I began, I'd do it for about 3 years till I became more focused on certain things.

That's weird. Everything seems to be in order. I'll see if I can fiddle with it when I have some time. 

I see. Yea I can't make a new topic or reply to my old personal practice threads I've made still.

Seems I still can't make a new post, it is moved now though at least.

My understanding is inner work/nei gong. Can argue on the details, but each school differs on what they mean. Some start other places, generally I think developing the dan tien is the best start but I've seen some great effects from other avenues. Many different ways to skin a cat.

Before anything I'd recommend increasing sensitivity to energy. Naturally after that it all has to do with the practices you're doing that will gather/stimulate these energies. Some will take a longer time to develop, so even if you're very sensitive you won't always be feeling them.

I don't know where you're at. However I don't think most people know just how dead their senses are, even a large amount of people doing Neidan. I would recommend something called Chi Permeation. It's a basic method of circulation that increases sensitivity. I attribute a lot of my progress to this method setting me up for success. I'm sure it's online, and it's in the book Qi gong Empowerment. Goes a long way.

Hope it helps.

Just wondering how to open mine back up. Haven't been on the site in years and feel the need to communicate/write things down.

It does exist. More than anything it is like picking up on someone else's reception. You tend to think peoples thoughts before they say them, things like that. When you know with detail it tends to weird them out.

I would sometimes in the past finish peoples sentences and they'd ask how I knew what they were going to say. I actually would never realize what I'd be doing till they said something.

 

i've never hacked into anyone's account, especially not Jim's. If he believes this, it is probably because he is not in his correct state of mind due to his cancer.

Your negative subtleties are exactly what people are having enough of. You can portray yourself a way, and it really doesn't help when you say things like this, or "Jims training is causing his sickness" without any basis other than the fact you know nothing of his past.

You make it impossible for anyone who isn't naive to feel sympathetic to what you say, it explains why there are so many doubters. First say you teach the only official mo pai, then peace and no problems with Jim, yet you draw another line by insulting Jims name.

Now you want everyone to overlook your passive aggressiveness.

I don't disregard what Micah teaches as improper. TCM is a fine medicinal system that has been worked for thousands of years. Level one and 2 are correct. The origins of what he says though I believe to be thoroughly false. I also believe the sickness occurrence is purely on the individual. I know late 2a that have never gotten any dramatic sickness and rarely ever if ever get sick at all.

This is a testament to the fact that when people get sick they would often like to claim phenomena. I do believe there are cases where you can get sick, but I don't believe its as often as a occurrence as people like to tell. Just look at this forum. You have plenty of people who have never done Mo Pai or any inner alchemy. Yet they speak on and on about how strokes and cancer are a huge risk.

Again my problem isn't that the core of the levels he teaches aren't correct. Its the fact that Micahs teacher doesnt exist, and he is feeding people with a front so they follow him.

Micah, I do love the fact you are talking about just how negative Jim has been to Lin. While every time you disrespect him and don't correct yourself when speaking about Jim, and then finish with your little sales pitch. I think its safe to say you will probably publish the rest of Jim's letters to "you" because we sure know you can profit from them.

The fact his Jim knew what you did about Mo Pai. What he didn't was your info on TCM nd inner alchemy, we can easily connect the dots after reading any of your books.

I am sure a few may fall for your act, as it is the high road. However you publishing the further letters will just prove once again you're a salesmen and anything is on the table. Keep talking peace and slander a man who has been sick and unable to address you, while you talk nice to him over emails.

I myself have you seen you say at one point you've never met Lin, and he only replies in a couple sentences to your e-mails. Then on another occasion you've said you've known him for a very long time, and paid for his dinner on multiple occasions. I've never asked you about how similar you sound to Lin because I knew you would reply with exactly what you said here. I know you often have a convenient answer for these questions.

What I find interesting is your character. You mention Jim's students bad talking Lin, and you considerably. While always being very modest in conversations with Jim.

While on the side you bad mouth Jim, and with a touch of marketing no less. The marketing is as stated. "Come learn from my alias, because with me you won't die due to leaving out a very small but important instruction." I of course gave you the benefit of the doubt, and didn't go on for a paragraph like you do, about how Jim messed up and how much more reliable your alias is.

I think we can understand you have a family to support. Although, your character shows very manipulative properties.

"So called" cultivators? Weak minded fools that have too much time on their hands? And now calling people irrational?

 

I won't discuss whether you're being insulting...you are.

No offence but this place is like the bodybuilding misc version of Cultivation. I do enjoy a handful of people here though.

I live 20 minutes away and my brother knew victoria soto in highschool. I strongly doubt it is "made up".

I am disappointed with what Naziri has posted. After reading good things from him, and him saying he respected Jim, you'd figure he would lay off such negative talk and undertones about him.

One second he says he respects him, then he says "Frankly, i know of a lot of people who have hit major plateaus with training with Jim, some of them encountered insurmountable health obstacles and qi blockages."

Can you name any with insurmountable health obstacles worth mentioning?

Also if you knew enough about Jim, you'd know exactly why he had gotten sick, instead you use it as a subtle excuse to plug your Shifu who when ever is mentioned, is always coupled with seclusion.

"Why do these kids think that Shifu or even John would heal Jim, when John didn't heal him last time he ambushed John at his house" their words, not mine"

This just makes me question where you get your information.

Sleep is recovery time, if you're not already very healthy I wouldn't do it.

Losing sleep is also terrible for your memory, as is sleeping during the day.

Good post, good luck. Brightens my day to hear stories like yours.

This only leads to problem. Sitting only is not enough. Your liver is blocked anyway. Move and move well. You need to start from scratch. Build up a strong root (internal martial arts and/or walking meditation. Drink green tea/herbs for liver qi stagnation to cleanse that organ. Never just practice sitting meditation, make sure you do it alongside walking mindful, slow practice.

 

Note: high blood pressure = liver qi stagnation (too much fire in the liver and the blood, since the liver stores it).

Can physical exercise also clear liver stagnation?

Yeah should work. Shouldn't take all that long, i'll be in chat again lol

I'm in there.

If you have chrome, a "run this time" should pop up at the top. Hit it. Or download java

I Find it interesting to mention that he also keeps his palm in the fire for a good while. or atleast close enough to get burned very harshly.

good luck friend. Experience over books would be my route, especially with this subject.

Or keep looking for a teacher.

Is it above or below the navel? Because if it is above the navel it's likely stomach/esophagus problems.

Below

Do you practice Chi Kung too?

What do you mean by practice chi kung "too"?

I do some chi kung but mainly stick to just meditation.

Read Master Liao's book "The Tai Chi Classics" -- he talks about the hollow drum concept. It is a good sign...shows that your dan tien is developing well...imho.

Thanks friend, will pick it up

Inappropriate to post Jim's personal correspondence details with you on a public forum. And no, I don't mean his email address. You also already neglected one of said 'requirements' by posting this thread. Good luck in your desire to become Goku.

I understand your distaste, but to someone trying to develop themselves.

I think you're being a tad bit harsh.
