  1. Nothing to discuss to be honest with you. People should not even be seeing these videos. It's just that someone downloaded these videos and is practicing without a teacher within the BFP lineage. That's only part of the issue; the next part is that they mix it with something else, adding their own concepts on top of it
  2. Finally fast food expert explained what he is doing here. Go eating it somewhere else
  3. Correct. Some people just buy into some stuff that is sold online and believe the advertisements posted there. But they are not mindful enough to read and study traditional sources on the subject. Most people just download videos and practice without teachers thinking they achieve smth real. That' how people get deviations, sadly but it is truth
  4. What sort of jing it replenishes? Post or pre-natal? Any evidence that it is pre - natal jing replenishment except your own "vision"? What evidence of even first level immortality in this system? Look at Ric' photo and see there any signs of yang shen achievements. How does it relate to Daoist achievements? You come to Daoist thread promoting new age systems, claiming they are "more advanced" than Daoist, when I ask for any evidence you become aggressive to me. Just think about your behavior, dude.
  5. WHERE I said it on the forum, dude? I know nothing about it
  6. Terry is good chikung teacher, he trained under GMDW supervision and was allowed to teach level1 and has permission to release level1 dvds. He is quite good chikung teacher, I have no any aggression in relation to him. He does his job quite well. If you see any aggression to him in this forum, that's ,may be your own view on that, I am sorry if you see me being offensive to him. Why you talk about Terry at all, I did not talk about him here? I see your aggression to me here, what caused you to be so aggressive here?
  7. You say that Merlin system is more advanced than daoist, right? Correct me if I am mistaken.
  8. Some daoist systems can be mixed but if they both seat in daoist tradition. Let say one can add some taiji exercises to FP system, there should be no problem. But better to practice one or another for a several months and then add the other one. Also some daoist shen gong system might help to any other daoist system one does. But ofc it must be appropriate shen gong system under the teacher supervision within daoist tradition. As personally for me, I did mistakes mixing different systems. The problem is when people mix buddhist, daoist, different qigong methods or even adding occult or new age stuff to daoist methods mixing not only methods but theories and their concepts
  9. Correct. Heart - mind pureness and ability to see the truth over the lie is very crucial for the Daoist people. The problem these days people mix systems and get confused which way they follow. That is why mixing different system is dangerous or at least it should be done with care until one has high achievements in one system
  10. Okey, no problem for me. This is Daoist section of the forum. What signs of immortality Ric Weinman has and why his achievements higher than FDD achievements? Why not to explain it here instead of reporting to admins?
  11. Emotional reactions dont prove anything, there are physical and other signs for high (advanced) achievements, no signs, no achievements. I have rights to express my opinion on the forum
  12. If this system is more advanced there would be immortals in this system but the inventor of this system does not look like he is
  13. @silent thunder It's not the same but part of it. These knots are just blockages we all have. They use different approach but daoist system is more advanced

  14. What exactly is neidan/internal alchemy?

    Antares replied to Iskote's topic in Daoist Discussion

    I am not sure that SYG is safe to learn from videos without proper supervision. FP is more safe system. Also I am not sure Terry is authorized to teach FP as neidan, he published only 8 of MSW meditations. The system is very vast and Terry was taught Level1 only. He has never said this is Daoist system and thus it is not very clear how the term "internal alchemy" correlates with limited version of Level1 of FP system. Without proper instructions it can be good yangshengong system

  15. What exactly is neidan/internal alchemy?

    Antares replied to Iskote's topic in Daoist Discussion

    If you look for longevity then just be honest with yourself and name the methods you do as yangshengong. 99 % of what you can see "on the market" is yangshengong at the best. Even those who state they teach neidan, in fact they teach yangshengong and neidan itself is hidden normally and is taught to little amount of close students.
  16. I usually ate potatoes, rice, and buckwheat, but last winter I ate a lot of wheat and dairy. Usually, in the spring, my body would start a light detox through the release of phlegm and mucus, with 3 days of a runny nose and mild discomfort. This spring, the detox was very intense and prolonged. Now it’s clear why.
  17. There was a lady who was a promoter of not eating and a seller of her books and seminars. She was placed under supervision to conduct an experiment, and after a few days, she asked for food. One should not believe everything that questionable authors, promoters, and sellers of $5,000 seminars write.
  18. Almost all schools we know these days originate from LD, except Maoshan may be. Not wise to refer to Baopuzi, I dont think the alchemy of that epoch is applicable nowadays.
  19. Baopuzi (simplified Chinese: 抱朴子; traditional Chinese: 抱樸子) is a literary work written by Ge Hong (AD 283–343) Lu Dongbin was born in Jingzhao Prefecture (京兆府 Jīngzhào Fŭ) around 796 CE during the Tang dynasty. Different periods. There could be different approaches which had been changing till 12th - 13th centuries. Better to refer to the texts of schools that originate from LD. The excerpt I provided is related to the legacy of LD specifically. If this is an additional method, it should be named as such, but not as 'vehicle,' otherwise it creates confusion
  20. It does not correlate with the original statement 'ceasing to eat to pursue life.' Additionally, one must provide further evidence to support the claims about other methods that Wang attributes to Lu Dongbin.
  22. It was never meant to be "a vehicle" but a tool after one has already nourished life (Ming) so that they could get along without food. Although it can be let say 3 days of fasting while taking specific medicine but was not meant to be main method (vehicle) Which school you talk about? May be you can refer to any daoist text in this regard?
  23. The main issue here is that in authentic neidan post heaven shen is not used at all. I mean diff variations of breath control, visualizations, remembering or forgetting smth, fasting, sitting cross legged etc
  24. after 24 hours fasting Ming begins depleting, can be good if a person needs purification and other methods dont help (in some cases can be applicable), or if a person feels they are getting sick, it may be good to fast for 24 - 36 hours, but no more than that. this phrase “ceasing eating to pursue life” sounds the same as " firing up house foundation to build it up"
  25. From Amazon review
