Yes, Max. Its amazing the misinformation that is listed here.

hello fajin:

Bagua,

fajin you say: “You have me very confused. Let me clear it up.” now this is very confusing to me.

Well this will be my last time on this subject, Wu Ji is our true nature, it is always with us.

Fajin
Are we one with Dao, Wu Ji, or both? What are we one with?

Is your mother our…[Read more]

Hi fajin:

Faj
It is nice to hear your personal theory based on your Chan experience again.
*****************************
My views are not limited to Chan, they are based on everything I have learned and experienced. I speak from my experience, free from a system that I must depend. Im not selling anything, I have no pony in this…[Read more]

Hi Fajin;

Nice to hear from my old friend.

Faj
You are correct in saying that we cannot comprehend the Dao and why it chose to
manifest itself as Wu Ji which eventually gave rise to all things.
*********************
Well my understanding is out of Wu Ji comes Dao, in only Wu Ji there is no way to speak of, no form to label, no words…[Read more]

I was being kind when saying “fond of pubs”

Hi:

Its not my personal bias, its from reading many books on the history of taoism and china. Your bias rings loud as you need to express your opinion.

Eva basically translates books, reveals very little about the method and has no progressive thinking on tao alchemy.

Whether those “immortals” ever lived I do not know and I dont think…[Read more]

Hi MW:

Yes its listed in that set of books.

Also, many references on internet, one is below.

The common story is he met two immortals at a pub, which he frequented often. I think one can be open to hearing these stories of people’s lives, but should not blindly believe…[Read more]

Hi:

In the time of Wang, almost all serious seekers studied all three of the spiritual/philosophies. Its interesting, Wang was an alcholic and claims to have met immortals, he was against sex and more of the monastic approach.

The alchemsts of the past were hermits, in isolation. Even the one’s today seem to be social…[Read more]

hi:

Its interesting, the different way almost everthing in taosim can be viewed. Jeffrey Yuen views the San Ching: Yu, Tai and Shang as the three Hun, the aspects of it and the 7-Po not spirits, but 7-stages of development or if you prefer 7-Qi Fields that the Hun must move through to evolve.

My opinion is we have to be careful about…[Read more]

Hi Wendy:

I support you 100%, you bring a very good perspective, dont let anybody intimidate you.

in is only in the “way” jesus lived one can go to heaven, it is the way that brings one into harmony with heaven. So the way and jesus are one. In the same way as following the guidelines of Lao Zi/tao teh ching, his teachings is the way.

Or if you prefer the “qi field” jesus lived in, or the consciousness of Jesus, like krishna conscousness,…[Read more]

Hi Max:

I have his 3-video set, it is the first nine of Shen Gong (Michael learned all 81 many years back) and includes the standing postures. It is from Hua Shan mountain. I think when people reference “Jade Purity” they make it seem so special and unique, the qi gong he does in that video can be found in a book “A Taoist Guide to Longevity”,…[Read more]

Hi Max:

All i can tell you his people sell his vidoe tape on qi gong, called Alchemical qi gong, three tapes, many hourse of his shen gong, he talk about his approach to alchemy. His presentation is clearly on the empty side of alchemy.

He rejects new patients too, so there may be no big deal about taking formal students, except workshop…[Read more]

Hi Singing Ocean:

SO: Enlightenment is about aligning your shen with the neutral space, while immortality is about integrating your jing, qi and shen with the neutral force, about actively crystallizing the yuan jing with your body-mind in a permanent state of process.

This concept is a key in…[Read more]

Hi Max:

I would be cautious about taking numbers literally in taoist literture, for instance, du 20, bai hui is called meeting of a hundred points, they dont mean 100, they mean alot.

Jeffrey has a “Shen Gong” audio tape, nine (has 81 in total) movements and standing postures he sells, from that tape and what he says, and he calls what he…[Read more]

I beleive Emptiness is the matrix for alchemy to occur

Hi Fajin:

I appreciate you stating when you talk about daoist history and tradition, you select the best examples or the real examples of this tradition, I hope you would do the same for Chan and all traditions.

Just letting my you know I had a wonderful meditation yesterday, flowing from tao alchemy to Chan, back and forth, like the sun and…[Read more]
