Hi NN:

I want to express something that may (or may not) reveal a truth. Where does Yuan come from? Where is Yang generated?

If you have no Yin, can you have Yang or Yuan?

If the log is low, can there be much fire?

Many, Many studied with Gene Labell. Hi is one of the alltime greats.

Alot of people blindly follow people, glad to hear you dont.

I prefer not to.

But its my experience to really know someone, you need to see how they treat their spouse, kids, students in the home. Just because one knows or masters a qi gong or theory or method does not mean they live it.

Hi:

My experience is “Stillness” does not mean fixed, even though some on this site define it that way, when they do it is clear they are basing it on intellect, not experience.

Stillness is a way to experience life directly, in all its changes and transformations, if one does not get this we cann’t talk anymore, we just go round and…[Read more]

Ok, this helps me understand alot about your training.

thanks,

What lineage of Wing Chun do are you learning, the variations are great.

Hi Faj:

I know his first students, so I have a good idea of what he taught.

First of all, JKD training does not utilize wooden dummy’s. He did keep chi sao and another form, I think it was lop sao (2 forms like WudangAlienAlchemist said). He added weight lifting, punching with dumbells, jogging, shadow-kick boxing, and much more. He had…[Read more]

I just think there is so much fantasy in all this, as in tao alcehmy.

It is well known in the wing chun community Wong Sheng Leung was Bruce Lee’s teacher, Yip Man was an old man at the time. He did not learn all the forms, and the whole system, including wooden dummy, dragon pole and knives when he left to go to USA, he was young and he did…[Read more]

Hi:

I dont want to be arguementive, but I have a few comments.

It is a great leap of fate to think Bruce Lee was the world’s greatest martial artist, the truth is he did not compete publicly to prove it. According to kick boxing champs he trained with before he got famous, he would not spar with them, only kung fu drills.

Bruce Lee first…[Read more]

I think it is about making nei dan rigid. Tyring to make one formula or method different from others, this is an attempt to distuinguish one method of nei dan from others and I feel it is very polarizing. Just pay attention to the posts, which ones polarize you and which ones harmonize you. Words should reflect the level of consciousness and…[Read more]

Yes Brother Fajin, tell it like it is, no more, not less.

Hi:

“Hmm… rather different from Fajin’s definition! And furthermore exactly the definition I have given on my own account, a good four or five times already – that this physical world *is not* an illusion but can be the *cause* of illusion in the human mind.”

I think another way to say this is we…[Read more]

Hi NN:

I think you miss my point.

I was talking to Faj about communicating with people into alchemy, not alchemical proccess. In my experience when talking about life alchemists they spit things into pieces, and they are limited and restricted by these pieces or steps. THese steps and “processes” are not rigid, the entire proces can occur at…[Read more]

Hi fajin:

Humans are variations within the universe, the five shen are just variations of the yuan shen. If we look at Yuan shen in two we have hun and po. If we look at the yuan shen as five we have five shen, they are inseparable. Either model is effective.

If one of the five shen (ways to experience life)has been caused to extend to an…[Read more]

Hi Fajin:

I like what you are saying.

The alchemists will pick it apart, because they break each component done and in doing that they play with the separation and individual aspects of the pieces and then correct/shape/harmonize, restore them to the “original” conditon and after doing all of five then their integration. SO they will isolate…[Read more]

Hi Fajin:

Sounds like you are enjoying your time in the mountains, I hope you will continue to share your realizations when you have time. Maybe I will come visit you next year if you are there.

I think what Michael (I dont want to speak for Michael, just my view) is implying is each of the five shen must find its own destiny, now that is…[Read more]

Interesting article. Confucism and Taiosm in their roots were inseparable. Confucian theory had a profound influence on the development of herbal medicine. The classification of herbs by function, taste, temp, meridian, etc was based on his classfication model. It created a structure for gouping herbs, in the same way Zhang classified herbal…[Read more]

Hi Fajin:

I love what you are saying, deep my friend!

Hi:

The real question is how does one follow Zhang San Feng’s advise, not whether his guidance is correct. We have a wide range of practices that will take care of the condition they reference; just practice, read good books and make it part of your lifestyle and change will occur.
