“After all, Nan has access to resources that not even avalable in modern Chinese.”

So on this subject, does Nan have access to the Daoist alchemy seclusion schools or only texts? This is the difference between interpreting words, and a living tradition.

Thge last time we had a discussion on texts, specifically on the Nei Yeh, you could not back up your claims that the Nei Yeh encouraged emptiness meditation only, but also included Qi circulation exercises, and the cultivation of inner virtues (not by outward acts of “doing good” to get merit points).

And just what is the benefit in your view…[Read more]

How about honest and authoritative lectures? If michael were to put all the lectures from his meditation courses into book form, it would be 500 pages or more. Not that quantity means anything, but Max, maybe you are stepping on thin ice?

And why is it that everytime I bring up a worthwile subject to be discussed, like texts, you evade or…[Read more]

Maybe the point is that America has not had thousands of years of high level adepts practicing in their mountains to clear out the inner energy fields.

This also does not change recent history of Native American Genocide, and 500 years of african slavery.

According to you, they are enough.

What if someone wants to go deeper than that? The methods are available for those who do.

All Dao alchemy practices begin and end with the inner smile, it is just how we deal with those intermediate parts such as the five virtues in heaven, earth and man that will allow us to connect more deeply IF WE WANT TO.

We are well acquainted with the inner smile; it is a prerequisite for all further cultivation.

Daoist alchemy is also simple and is based on the deep fundamental cycles of nature:

It uses the inner smile (acceptance/neutral awareness), yin and yang frequencies, and the five phase cycle of elements (virtue qualities).

Who is giving them the merit points anyway???

Instead of dropping it, I ask myself the question, why do these zen folks feel they need to come on here and push their agenda anyway?

If you are interested in ancient daoist texts that talk openly about spinning qi for cultivation. Or you could simply look a little deeper into Zhuang Zi for the inner sound current:

“Just then I’d lost myself completely. Do you understand such things? Perhaps you understand the music of Humans, but you haven’t heard the music of the earth.…[Read more]

In your opinion of course, Bill Bodri is correct. Correctness seems to be associated with personal opinion derived from experience, and because that is what you have experienced, you are completely entitled to your opinion.

In the end (and the present) it is the experience that counts, and your path will determine your experience, as will your…[Read more]

on reflection, I think my question was more complicated than necessary.

I think the process of alchemy takes care of all the levels of harmonization of the personal and collective self, except I think it is always useful to bring the collective levels back to the personal level of the ming men in the lower dan tien.

I totally dig it! The symbol has the feeling of cool fire, very balanced. I like the part about the song even more.

Greetings!

To accelerate the process of completing your (outer) destiny through (inner) alchemy, do you feel that it is important to focus the refining and cultivation process largely on the ming men in the lower center to harmonize the soul patterns that are manifesting into the physical plane?

Would this also involve bringing the higher…[Read more]

From my understanding of the Daoist cosmology that Michael describes, the point behind spiritual cultivation is to develop free will by fusing your inner souls together, and that gives you a choice about how to complete your life.

From a Daoist point of view, it is possible to complete your soul patterns so that you do not need to be stuck in a…[Read more]

Michael Winn uses some very powerful and effective geometric forms in his upper level kan and li meditations, in much the same way the Baguas are used in the foundational qigong forms. I have found them to be very effective to accelerate the spiritual process of jing-qi-shen transformation. He has already released the most effective information…[Read more]

I know little about the book, but there are apparently specific atlantean alchemical techniques that michael has incorporated into the Daoist practices starting with greatest kan and li that are used to prolong the physical lifespan by accelerating the fusion of jing, qi and shen.

I think you missed an important point about responsibility, yes it is about economics, but how can you separate economics from the humans involved? Are they not responsible for their actions? Are they serving the whole or are they promoting separation, fear and conflict?

My point is that there is really no separation between either side: it…[Read more]

The microcosm and macrocosm are mirrors of each other on personal and collective levels, a personal shen imbalance/incompletion can be related to a collective shen imbalance/incompletion:

One country colonizes/invades another & one person wants to constantly start fights = same problem
