Wells Posted November 7, 2013 It's easy to see the agenda at play with Mjj. He is a good guy but he wants the mo pai fanaticism to stop, so he endorses whatever teacher he can and tries to encourage people to take it up as a replacement. First it was KAP, now Stillness Movement. Tomorrow? Who knows. Â The outdoor student Level 0 dropout wants to make sure that no westerner achieves more with Mo Pai training than himself! Pitiful! Â What is surprising to me is Mjj uses his association with Kosta to give himself credibility, then in the same breath disagrees with Kosta on major issues. Â Not very intelligent tactics. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff Posted November 7, 2013 thanks jeff, always enjoy reading your posts. Â dont you think this process happens without any effort if both people are at the heart chakra? Â Have you heard of the Eqyptian Ahnk tantra? where they loop the sexual energy out the throat chakra and around the head. it is supposed to resemble the ankh shape. Hi MooNiNite, Â Thanks for the kind words. Yes, I definitely think that the process can happen naturally (without any conscious effort) if both are at the heart. The loop i described is pretty normal with love-attraction. It is really more a question of the sensitivity/clarity and being able to notice it. Also, at advanced levels "distance" does not matter. Â I am not familiar with the Eqyptian Ahnk tantra, but connections/communication based at the throat chakra (and higher chakras) is very normal at higher levels. Throat with 3rd eye and gives what is often called "mind transmissions" or more astral stuff. Any experience with the Ahnk tantra? Â Regards, Jeff 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaguaKicksAss Posted November 7, 2013 I haven't seen much in the energetic realm / doing of things which cannot be done over distance . Â There are some things which do work much better in person (and I wasn't even thinking of the above example lol), but most work pretty well no matter how far away. It is interesting though when distance, depending how far does actually make an incremental difference. Â As far as it naturally happening if both people are open to it, and have either the natural talent OR some level of psychic or water training , sure! Though I'd never seen/felt it going in MCO loops before I knew what that was though; I could have perhaps just missed it, focusing more in the taiji pole of each person and the merged energy as a whole. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Hi BKA, Â I have found that "distance" is really just a perception of mind. If either the "sender" or "receiver" thinks (even subconsciously) distance makes a difference, than it does. If one "knows" that it is only a perception, then it does not make any difference. As an example, many people find that distance healing is stronger (or more powerful) when done with an open phone connection. This is because both parties have a subconscious feeling of communication when on the phone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually in some cases (which still confuses me a little) it can be stronger than in person.

Actually in some cases (which still confuses me a little) it can be stronger than in person. Â The distance being relevant stuff I have found has been in spellwork, where a physical component is used, and etheric instead of astral energies used. Working for overseas people takes a few extra measures from what I have found. I came by the distance matters thing by finding my spells were not working as strongly for people from Australia and Africa, as in north america, so I started to look into it . There are workarounds of course though! Â I figure by now, going off topic is fiiiine in this thread lololol. Â The stronger on phone, skype and chat is a matter of focus and intent. Both parties are focused on the communication/connection. When in the same room, people are often distracted by thoughts (e.g. looking at the person and what they are doing, wondering what they think about you). Think about it like asking someone on a date... is one more self conscious in person or on the phone/texting... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BaguaKicksAss Posted November 7, 2013 I may regret this but.... Â I'm curious about people's thoughts about energy transfered back and forth (or in some cases one way) over the phone, internet, video conferencing and so forth? The how's and what types of energies we are talking about here. Â "Fucking skype how does that work?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaguaKicksAss Posted November 7, 2013 Also I would like to add, with some distance stuff, for example initiations, I do find that there seems to be some part missing from the process when there is not also the physical in person component. Initiations is the only example I can think of currently, but I know there are a few more. Hmmm, transmission as well, I find to be a little more solid/usable when it is done in person.

BaguaKicksAss Posted November 7, 2013 Also for example, in physical in person martial arts, there are definitely some energies which are transfered via physical touch; there are also some which can be used from a few feet away. However, I have yet to meet someone who (doesn't have a physical link object that they use) who can cause physical bruising over a distance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BaguaKicksAss Posted November 7, 2013 I'd count that under my "in person" bit... and it is definitely and interesting and awesome phenomenon. Though any vids of 2 separate people (as in a mile away or more), and it from one person striking/sending to another people I would be a bit skeptical. Â Though I can possibly think of some ways it can maybe be done... hmmmmm... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaguaKicksAss Posted November 7, 2013 I would guess the location, and the not too deep of bruising is so as to not actually mess up anything internally.

BaguaKicksAss Posted November 7, 2013 At a guess, the whole bruise or hit from an in person distance (but not touching) thing could be countered by, or not work on anyone with some decent iron vest/shirt training. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
