Which systems?

Dragon Gate Long Men pei . 72 level ( not that level thing is real) Chang San Feng is the founder of my sect and has no connection to mo pei at all. The internet more pie page begs to associate themselves with Chang San Feng....funny

Just because someone on the internet tells you something, that does not make it true.

This pretty much sums up the internet invention of more pie. Glad you are getting the message. There are lots of real systems that show results, no worries

He is alone.

Incredible  intel on this operative.  level 4 clearance and identity unknown that is impressive. No one is close or above very smart.

 

We need to talk untraceable's can stir up some dirt and walk away.

Thanks rails, I have been looking for a new show. 

It is interesting that Taylor Swift can take over "discussions" of more pie so easily.

 

Taylor does have way more than 4 fans unlike the entire universe of people that take more pie seriously. No school, no teachers, no system to even talk about from the only person that is interested in more pie... yawn!

John must have not known very many people.  practices of complete arts are very deep, profound and extremely technical and detailed with masters that make more pie ( if it was real and not an internet invention) seem very childish.

 

“If one practices the Yin body,
one’s Essence, Qi and Spirit are utterly wasted,
trapped in the cycle of life and death.

when the Yang Spirit also takes the material body, the body with form, as its bedchamber, room, and house, then you know there is a true ‘You’ inside this body, and that all the others are fake.  

 

More pie loves to take the fake for real.... very funny stuff!

 "I wish more than anything we could force others to see for themselves".

 

mega mind you will need lots of money with an army and political / religious support for this effort.

 

Reinventing the wheel will not be necessary just some historical research on how forcing others to join groups like more pie or die works.

 

Most people use their post heaven mind which is easy to lead. Mis-information and confusion with a pinch of loss like death will persuade large groups of people but you will need money and some fire power to back you up

 

Good luck with your new business endeavor.

Only if More pie had a school,

Only if more pie had a teacher with apparent skill

only if 2 or 3 exercises could make us super normal,

only if fantasy was real,

only if lawyers, guns,money and more pie could cheat the entire world,

 

only if scientist, doctors, firemen, (for obvious reasons) a camera man and lets throw in a green Barrera, a copper wire, a tent with out a bottom, that could prove something, anything real we could make a fantastic movie

 

The best part of comedy is that it does not need to be true to be funny!

Killing plants is totally cool, we get to kill things and have a mental separation of higher and lower life forms. 

 

Who does god love most a plant, an animal, a baby or a baptized baby? This was an illustration from bible school when I was a kid.

 

The correct answer IMO is that the question is wrong in sooo many of ways.

Jing is not sexual energy a major modern mistake such as Chia teachings used as a marketing plan that sex sells.

 

Sex is a neutral form of energetic exchange. energy is spirit in motion. sex is spiritual because sex is neutral, it can become a vehicle for what you value.

Sexual energy can be cultivated and directed to energize your manifesting power, stoke, your ultimate creative potential.

 

Sexuality is a bridge to the Divine. Dare to awaken it's potential to heal, restore, and guide you on your path. All things in moderation balance and harmony.

 

Having a good relationship with sex by not denying or encouraging sex or playing with ones self and allow things to be natural will keep energy from stagnating and to not become an obstacle on ones path.

Thanks, interesting article.  Didn't know about the bamboo pillows with "ventilation," looks like a a good idea for sleeping somewhere hot and humid without the air conditioner.     

 

I used to have a ceramic pillow exactly like this one:

 

 

I tried sleeping on it but it was too high and too cold.  So I just kept it on a shelf as decoration -- but my cat wanted that spot on the shelf for himself and threw it off and broke it.  He normally doesn't do things like that.  Probably perceived the ceramic cat as a rival of some sort.   

 

 

  

This experience also shows that if the earth was flat the cats would have pushed everything off by now.

 

I like the Chinese round long pillow it helps support my shoulders and neck. On mount wudang my pillow feels like tiny rocks and the bed is super firm. After 8 + hours of kung fu a day I do not wake up sore. 

Mind and breath rest on each other if mind is distracted use breath to adjust. If breath is rough use mind to adjust. Imagine a meditative state where all systems slow down including the breath and mind is sharp and very aware. This is as if breathing has stopped. 

 

Following the breath is awesome then we see how a single thought changes the breathing. Taoist breathing is mixing post heaven and pre heaven Chi. We are basically training the breath to be like an infant the reversal of chest breathing then mouth breathing that leads to the last breath.

Bruce has it right the breath should revolve like the yin yang symbol. At higher stages long smooth breathing so the ears can not hear the breath. This breathing pattern has tremendous healing and power qualities. with lower abdominal breathing this smooth round breathing massages the organs and helps keep them in proper position. stillness is like you are not breathing at all.

 

Putting too much attention on breathing will stagnate energy so once you get it without thinking and is just normal breathing all day the positive effects will show up quickly.

There now seems to be a 50:50 split (2 in favour of IFS, 2 against IFS and one seemingly neutral but open to the possibility, at this stage)?

 

Let me start with Wu Ming Jen (I'll return to discuss ridesforever's points later because there are certainly some grains of truth in his assertions, which need to be addressed).

 

For your information, the way that I view and use IFS is fundamentally somatic, so perhaps that tips the balance?

 

A holistic therapy is a good thing. Internal sensation and working with autonomic nervous system should have a physical discipline to be administered such as Tai Chi Chuan. Is this something that is included in IFS not tai chi per say but any kind of movement or is it physiological? 

Proper body mechanics and physical work will do the trick and give a chance for you to loose your mind.Your channels will operate just fine if you stop thinking about it. Observation is your friend.

BK has a great linage and history. Great opportunity I would go for it.

Talking out problems and situations is a very positive thing to do before using a middle man and a very normal thing to do.

 

The talk and emotions expressed are finding solutions and compromise. When people fail to communicate and get an outsider involved is usually the first step to divorce or medical medication to "fix mental issues or endless sessions that is profitable to the establishment and spiritually and materially bankrupts the patient. Always exceptions that seem to succeed...well the ones that get paid. Kidding

I was hoping this thread was about traditional family systems of internal martial arts. Many new to internal arts missed out on many of these forms with applications. Modern forms are a blend of different family styles.. One of my first teachers Master Jou Tsung hwa taught Chen, Yang, Wu and Cheng Man Ching forms which is exceptional.

 

IFS seems to be about mental problems with no physical discipline just mind games and counseling. The Taoist arts as many like Carl Jung have found is the superior method to a healthy life and mental balance.

 

Talk therapy has a destructive side. Thoughts are like groves of an album by talking out negative emotions and experience it allows the grooves to become deeper not allowing a person to move on with alternative positive thought patterns. the caterpillars remains an un born butterfly.

Being spiritually bankrupt we will seek to buy happiness.

 

It is interesting for those that fall for the trap of education, hospitals and modern convenience as to make other peoples lives better. This is exactly what government does to make people dependent on a system. BUT look at all the information on how miserable these people are, in poverty, ripped apart by disease, starving to death, Why because of money and sanctions of governments... join or die.

 

If we hike 5 miles to get water do you know how precious that water is and how gratifying it is to have water...fulfillment.

 

Grow and eat your own food, do you know how gratifying it is to have food....fulfillment. If we buy food from a grocery store we are discontented from nature. If we buy clothes in a store we are disconnected and DEPENDENT. It is a great system just not for the humans.

 

If I grow food and you make clothes and Mr Smith is a great builder there is no need for money we exchange and are one.

 

Money represents population and natural resources of a country. This determines a countries wealth with the world banking system.

 

If we do not need money to grow our food, make clothes, tools and shelters living of the land the new world system fails.

 

Modern education is a system for conditioning future workers that will gather the resources or do specific task for the owners.

 

Native Indians found it confusing that a western school was sitting in a room to learn, that is a  very bizarre notion that we take as normal.

 

Removing people from nature is another excellent example of how to mis direct and mis inform the people to fall for the system. They have no other alternative for survival except to accept it.

 

Third world country actually means traditional culture that does not rely on the new world system for survival.

 

Bound to be beautiful: The bizarre practice of foot-binding was once a symbol of beauty in China

 

Foot-binding – a widespread custom in China which lasted for over 1,000 years – from the 10th to 20th century, is considered by many to be one of the most dangerous fashion trends in history. For centuries, tiny, curved feet were a symbol of beauty in the Chinese culture, and the bizarre tradition of foot-binding was passed from mother to daughter, generation to generation, 

 

The fashion trend was soon adopted by upper-class women in the south of China and eventually, it spread to the north of the country. While at the beginning it was considered a symbol of high social status and wealth, eventually it spread to all women, regardless their social position.

 

Neck rings seem like another fashion trend that seems bizarre

 

we seem to be a lot more tame with modern fashion and we can by boots that look like hoofs

 

Below is a blog from my freind Master Chen that may be helpful please notice that sex is not mentioned. the classics to do not mention sex because sex energy is not jing.

 

The classics us sexual relationship as metaphor to give birth to our true self, the divine immortal that is always with us, the super being that is  inside of us all.

 

Sexual energy comes from the post heaven mind, it is mind driven. It is a major error to think sexual energy is jing,

 

Now here is the simplified blog enjoy.

 

Health and rejuvenation depend on increasing the quality and quantity of Jing and Qi.  What methods can you use?

The first method is seated meditation. This is the method of stillness.

The next method is slow Tai Chi in which you focus on the waist.  All action starts from the waist (the Dan Tian).  Then breathe.  Use the breath to cooperate mind and action, to gain cooperation of tiger and dragon.  Tai Chi has 8 different actions and 5 postures.  This is the method of motion.

 

Dao Yin is the third way to collect Jing.  Dao Yin is between stillness and motion.  It includes the 12, 16 and 8 pieces brocade.  It includes Qi Gong – Qi Gong is Dao Yin.  Qi Gong is supporting exercise.  In order to collect Qi, the meridians must be smooth and unblocked.  Qi Gong smoothes the meridians.  When the Qi transmuted from meditation and Tai Chi, then we need the channels to transport the Qi.  When the organs are healthy, at the end of the day, they give back left over Yuan Qi and Yuan Jing.  This goes back to the Dan Tian.

 

Diet and nutrition are also important.  Better health is achieved if you are 80% vegetarian, and 20% non-vegetarian.  At first, when you are rebuilding your foundation, you should have meat.  If you are a healer or body worker you should continue at least 20% meat until you are ready to give up your practice.  It is best to eat fresh, organic foods and to avoid preserved and deep fried foods.  Avoid lead and mercury tainted foods, avoid super heated oils, and avoid pickled foods.

 

When you practice these the body will initially become very sensitive to its intake.  You will feel it if you bring in polluted foods.  Yang quality of food is preferred.  The Solar Diet is the best to keep Yang at an optimum level.  If you must eat meat, eat good quality meat.  Venison, buffalo and elk are very good. Never eat beef, dog, goose, or Koi carp – they are associated to the four basic virtues: filial piety, kindness, loyalty and devotion.  Humans must learn from these animals and keep this kind of quality.  You must cultivate virtue; must engage in virtue.

The happiest people I have ever met have no hospitals, no roads, no police, no fire department, no indoor plumbing, no electricity and no phones among other things developed countries are all about. Some would consider these people very poor but on the contrary they are very rich in spirit and the community is beautiful and happy with no crime.

 

I have lived in a closed society not damaged by capitalist mentality and consumerism. The people have no use for what is for sale instead they provide for themselves, food, tools, clothes and shelter.  Governments hate this ability of the people and need to make people dependent on a government for survival. Nature provides us with everything we need.
