The problem isn't about original or new practitioners. The problem as you correctly state is that eventually anyone could demand moratorium about their system. Even crappy systems with fraudsters as teachers could demand it as part of equal treatment!  So no moratorium! Under no circumstances!

Some discussion may start with folks here but the WMP suddenly show up singularly or in numbers and start to dismember any discussion on it. Its a weird vulture like stance that anyone is simply watching the board for a topic to then come swoop down and interject 8 years of the same repetitive, somewhat programmed, comments.  It did very much become an 'us' (WMP) vs the rest of the world; but also an 'us' (Bums) vs the WMP.  And it was dubbed, The MP Wars ... because of the similarities to the previous fights with the Buddhist elitist topics (Buddhist Wars). Maybe the Bums like a good war.  There was the Lomax Wars too, let's not forget.  And also, Jeff Light Wars if we wanted to be fair about how the 'us' vs 'others' seems to recycle itself here.   I would hope this previous part would put in perspective there is something much bigger than MP Wars but if one were to look at each War, they would see a vast different in the 'fight method'.  Those who had a very strong practice and ability to back it up were never on the attack (Lomax and Light), while those who couldn't were usually more aggressive (or passive aggressive, Buddhist and MP) in putting other systems down.   It seems a funny choice to say: Should the topic be banned or the members be banned?  I've followed the idea that any topic is allowed till it crosses the rules... very few topics have been banned but we're talking like serious and sick topics (child pornography or pizza-gate).  To ban discussion on an energetic system and put it in the category of serious and sick topics always seemed odd to me.  So I've let discussion occur and just view member participate as following the rules or not.  I don't have a horse in this. If the rules changed on banning such topics, so be it. I'll not lose any sleep, not claim any relief, not need to worry the outcome.  It would have no influence on me today or tomorrow. But I do see there are some where there is great anticipation for some outcome that will rescue their own anxiety over the issue.  And I thought 'practice makes perfect'   Peace.    https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/47734-ilovecoffee-is-banned/   On 9/25/2018 at 11:13 AM, dawei said: I am sure some are wondering why that took so long but he did finally just create too much review on staff with his insistent cry that staff was biased, membership was biased, and he was here to be a martyr to some cause that never really seemed to be explained well enough as he claims the topic cannot be talked here.  The issues he caused here seemed not worth his stay. I hope we can get a better discourse going on topics of interest to discuss.   As a brief recap a member was told not to reply further in a thread, and create another thread to continue the discussion.  The member did as instructed and created a discussion in their PPD,.  Their PPD was revoked for following the instruction provided by a moderator.  In a later discussion this behavior was brought up politely, resulting in the member being banned having violated no rules whatsoever.  It is my belief that you do indeed have a horse in this, despite the fact you claim otherwise.   posts since removed https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/47711-mopai-only-open-to-ethnical-chinese/?do=findComment&comment=844647"I will have to disagree with you that every voice is allowed. Others are free to trash talk Mopai and our group as much as they want, and as often as they want, however, if we respond (respectfully I might add) to their attacks we are told we may no longer participate in the thread. If I quote them to respond to the attack in my PPD, my PPD is suspended for violating some unknown rule. The best I can do now is to not quote anyone and express myself in my PPD. The best the rest of the group can do is remain silent and not mention anything related to Mopai in their posts here for fear of being targeted. "After his post here disagreeing with you, the member was banned and the official explanation for this ban is located here:https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/47734-ilovecoffee-is-banned/"he did finally just create too much review on staff with his insistent cry that staff was biased, membership was biased"    Edited September 20, 2019 by MildMouse23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My proposal was that I would interview them and edit and revise as necessary so that their answers are both respectful and satisfactory to them. I would also throw in a side commentary as an internal student who is familiar with martial culture to explain in a manner that I hope is satisfactory to the rest of the audience here in the forum.  I prefer to work with ilovecoffee as we have more of a personal understanding and respect between one another, but as for MildMouse23, until I see an apology for the bait and switch that turned a conversation addressing me specifically in the original thread title about video learning to one about Mo Pai despite my insistence that I did not want to talk about Mo Pai or even allude to it, I have very little interest in engaging with him at this point.  Contrary to what he may think, I have no problems with his cabal or the indigenous group in Indonesia that birthed his practice. My issue is his conduct and interaction with me on this thread, in spite of earlier interactions on the forum and even attempting to build bridges as a middleman for him and the forum here. Sadly, he chose to be dismissive and associate me with the individuals who have historically developed animosity out of irritation towards him and his cadres.  Also, ilovecoffee didn't agree with an FAQ being a good idea, so I dropped the subject. Edited September 21, 2019 by Earl Grey 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is one of the five original western students of mo pai quoted above clarifying that neigong happens after level 4. Which means that westerners practice some preparatory form of qigong mo pai.  2)Saying that they don't believe in supernatural entities and then having Chang in video with possessed swords, exorcisms and talking about yin spirits, isn't exact or true either.  3)Claiming that WMP is the same as the MoPai Chang teaches isn't correct either.

MP is a system of neigong, not a system of qigong.         2 ""Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -Arthur C. Clarke  There are many things modern science lacks paradigms to explain,  we in fact are not nearly as advanced as we give ourselves credit for. There is nothing supernatural in the entire universe, and there can be nothing that is supernatural.  If a thing exists, or an event occurs it must be by definition natural. Supernatural as a description of a thing or an event exists only because we lack the necessary scientific paradigms to explain it.  If you were to show handheld CB radios to people from the 1400s you would be burned at the stake for witchcraft. They would lack the paradigms necessary to make sense of the technology. All of John's abilities, and yin spirits are purely natural. We encourage people to base their beliefs off objective video evidence, and their own first hand observations, and not accept things as true on faith, a book, or the personal testimony of other people.         3 The teachings for the levels we have are the same, if Jim had been allowed to continue his training, and he progressed to level 4, he would have been able to do such a demo without John providing a dense field of yin.       PS If you have critically read Kosta's books this should be crystal clear. This question is best not delved into as it has been the cause of many arguments.  Our purpose for pursuing the system is to practice something with good objective video evidence, showing doctors and scientists doing their best to rule out fraud occurring. We want to practice something with good evidence behind it, and we want to see for ourselves from our own training the reality of it.

How does Mo Pai compare to other living neigong traditions?  Instead we're thrown into the deep end about anus wires and an unintroduced character named Jim's cancer. 😳  Hopefully constructive criticism.  Sean  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
