>Thats the question few scientist seem to press.<
That's a actually a question a lot of scientists are burning to answer and there is a significant amount of research on it. In fact, the whole human family tree has been redrawn so many times as new knowledge comes to light, what u learned in high school or college is completely…[Read more]

spongebob replied to the topic Chi Power demos in the forum Practice 16 years, 8 months ago
It’s easy to demonstrate amazing things with your own disciples.
I saw a similar video about a guy who claimed to know Dim Mak, the legendary death touch. He would demonstrate on his students who passed out left and right and were revived by another touch that restored them.
Funny thing is, when the guy demonstrated on the film crew and…[Read more]

spongebob replied to the topic Chinese-Western Brain Pathways Different (Science art.)- My hypothesis confirmed in the forum Philosophy 16 years, 8 months ago
Thanks for that article, Michael. It supports what I’ve been telling my English students here in China about the differences in the two languages, things I’ve discovered the hard way by teaching and learning the past 5 years or so.
When Chinese people see an English word, the literally “see” it. all the meaning is in the spelling. When…[Read more]

I’ve never come across any teaching or doctrine about that at HT. Winn really likes to cut out the BS.

The question is not “when do i practice the inner-smile?” the question is “When do I NOT practice the inner smile?”

Nice video. thanks. i’ve used that piece before too.
getting a tad off topic, i’d like to recommend in general, not just for practice, the video set von Karajan did of the Beethoven cycle between about 1967-72. The opeing chord fo the Sym. No. 1 alone is worth the purchase price. But his “chaos” at the opening of the 9th is truly incredible…[Read more]

spongebob replied to the topic Kind of attention in the forum Practice 16 years, 10 months ago
I’ll chime in. I never found the points to be very useful: they complicate things mentally. I just focus on the orbit in kind of a receptive way and let the qi speak for itself.

spongebob replied to the topic Funny critic of Healers and New Age scene in the forum General 16 years, 10 months ago
Interesting.
And on this note is a collection of videos on youtube pertinent to many of the threads on this list. They’re from a TV show on Showtime called “Bullshit” by Penn and Teller. Hysterical stuff, and much of it is very surprising!
Most of the shows are uploaded in three parts so you have to download 1/3, 2/3, and 3/3 to get the…[Read more]

spongebob replied to the topic Ren Fa Rong's commentary (?) in the forum Philosophy 16 years, 10 months ago
It doesn’t matter if you study Mandarin or Cantonese cuz the writing is the same. Just make sure you learn traditional CHinese characters so you can read the ancient writing and commentaries, although some have been reprinted in simplified Chinese (they are about 85% same).
AFTER you learn modern Chinese, you need to learn ancient Chinese.…[Read more]

spongebob replied to the topic Chi Kung and Endurance in the forum Practice 16 years, 10 months ago
My experience is qi gong, while keeping you healthy and giving you more energy, doesn’t build cardiovascular endurance. That is, if you’re training for a marathon, or even 5 or 10k meter runs, you’ll need to do some cardiovascular exercise.
I bike and run a little. And i remember climbing the stairs of the big Buddha in Hong Kong with a very…[Read more]

Yeah, it’s like IBM leasing and maintaining proto-computers (i forget the exact name) to the Nazis in order to manage the Final Solution throughout WW II. IBM claims deception by the Nazis, but documents prove their technicians were doing maintenance at the concentration camps.
If researched, you might be surprised to learn what of US military…[Read more]
