>>>But one should again see also difference between demonic and angelic.
>>>For example it’s angelic to give for free and it’s demonic to ask money.

It is DEMONIC for a STUDENT to try to extract instruction and time out of an instructor without paying for it. It is theft at best; vampire behavior at worst. No one would go to a piano teacher…[Read more]

For certain things in the HT, it is perfectly fine to learn on one’s own, via a DVD, an audio set, even a book. Other things, it is not. Certain things you actually do need another person for. If a person really doesn’t want to ever connect with a live person, the choice is simple: either don’t choose to try to learn those topics OR accept…[Read more]

Her comment is really more about not being in the correct posture; it’s not just one or two things. In fact, I give my class a list of about 20 things, along with direct individualized feedback. The correct posture will feel wrong until your body has adjusted, due to improper posture habits that people pick up in their lives. This is really…[Read more]

Hi nomad,

Certainly if you want to learn to get rooted in a tree posture, as in “Embracing the Tree” in the Iron Shirt 1 system, it is vital to have a teacher. One needs to have the posture correction, and the direct experience of being pushed on by an instructor who can guide you. Ultimately, this is a topic that can not be learned on your…[Read more]

Hi zoose,

I’m not going to address the big list of categories you have, because there are many things in there that I disagree with, and it would just take way too much time. Put simply, you raise too many issues.

So taking that as a caveat, let me skip to part of your question regarding what to deal with too much energy, etc.

One thing…[Read more]

Can I shoot 4 politicians, and then donate my
nursing care stay to an elderly person in need?
Also, is there limit on how many times I can earn this benefit?
There are a lot of elderly people I’d like to help.

You assume a lot.
I don’t eat pork either.

Master Chia picked up that urine drinking business from David Verdesi, some 20 years ago, when David was staying at Tao Garden with Master Chia . . . before David and Chia had a falling out, and David moved on to other things. In any case, David had learned it from a different teacher, taught it to Chia, and then Chia added it to the many diverse…[Read more]

Anybody stupid enough to drink camel’s piss, deserves to get some of life’s direct education on their stupidity.

Call it a “Friday the 13th” miracle. 🙂

The three “standing-in-stillness” postures that Michael teaches in QF4 are Yiquan postures also. There are a lot of different Yiquan standing postures out there, not just 5. There are an absolute ton of them.

In any case, it is good to some variance; sometimes certain postures have a synergy and work well together. In particular, my morning…[Read more]

I disagree with much of this.
While I could launch into a full lecture here, let me just give you a few soundbites.

Wuji is sort of a resting and preparation posture. It is a nice posture for helping one to transition from being in the world of movement to the world of standing meditation . . . a nice still point from which other postures can…[Read more]

>>>Sorry but I think that one shouldn’t be
>>>too serious with this, but I personally
>>>have impression that one really cannot
>>>find any real answers form South Park.

This is an ad hominem logical fallacy whereby one tries to discredit an argument by attacking the messenger.

The type of ridiculous comedy that defines the show is irr…[Read more]

>>>Sorry but various kinds of fantastical influences
>>>are everywhere so question is which kind is more harmful;
>>>that very popular Star Wars saga for example or the Book of Mormon?

The difference is that most people know that the former is fiction and would not be so foolish as to think that it is true; the same can not be said about…[Read more]

This is why grounding is so important.
When you get sufficiently grounded (ala Iron Shirt and physical body practices like Tai Chi), you can just allow your emotions to manifest, without being hooked by them. You can just watch them as a neutral observer, like one watches a crying child from a distance.

This is why grounding both precedes…[Read more]

I think most were.
If memory serves, I think I only quit smoking pot about a year previous.

I noticed that the full episode list I posted here leaves out the extra episode that lives between episode 10 and 11 . . . a special 10 minute recap of the first 10 episodes by Mr. Gone. I assumed it was there, because I have the complete series saved on my computer, and when it originally aired, the recap played immediately before episode 11,…[Read more]
