I first experienced a qigong master in 1995 -- Effie P. Chow. I was so skeptical beforehand that I asked for my admittance fee to be lowered and she cut it in half -- I think I paid $10. Then during her demonstration she had us make "chi balls" -- holding our hands slightly apart with the palms facing -- she had filled the room with chi. Sure enough I felt very strong electromagnetic energy pushing my hands apart. Then at the end everyone was leaving -- in a University classroom. A security guard wandered in wondering what was going on since the fuse got blown in the room behind the qigong master.
I assure you that qigong energy definitely is electromagnetic as chi and then as shen energy it is laser holographic - so more coherent and higher frequency. Then there is jing energy which is electrochemical emotional energy like a buzzing tingling heat bliss sensation.
O.K. so then in 1999 in my graduate class at the University qigong master Chunyi Lin gave a presentation. At this point I had read Harvard medical doctor David Eisenberg's book Encounters with Qi -- and Chunyi Lin was exactly like the qigong master in that book who did telekinesis. So I knew Chunyi Lin was real -- my friend had even meditated with him and recommended him. So when I took his class he walked around and used the Shaolin sword fingers to transmit energy into us. We did a simple standing exercise called "Moving of Yin and Yang." ....So anyway John Chang is not fake...John Chang is the real deal as he's had several Western students who verify his abilities besides the scientists in the vid.
To finish my masters degree at the U of MN I did the intensive qigong training for about six months. First I was on a special diet -- vegan and then even no salt. I fasted for 8 days on just half a glass of water but I was never hungry and the electromagnetic fields got stronger and stronger. So then I went to the Level 3 healing retreat where Chunyi Lin works to open your third eye which is in the middle of the brain -- the pineal gland. I asked Chunyi Lin what should I do and he said: "Let me read your aura" and he then told me to keep my mouth shut and he left the room. Then the middle of my brain was on fire as he was doing long distance healing to open my third eye.
To train to be a qigong master Chunyi Lin told Jim Nance to sit in full lotus nonstop for 2 hours straight every day with not missing any time. Chunyi Lin did the standing horse stance at Shaolin with the thighs flat for 2 hours nonstop every day for three months. Three months is called a "gong" -- 100 days -- of sublimating the life force energy while emptying the mind - meditating the whole time. So the secret is that ultrasound from collagen creates electromagnetic fields as sonofusion and sonoluminescence. That is the Western explanation. Chunyi Lin when he trained with a top student of Master Zhang -- (Zhang Gong)-- Then Chunyi Lin did a month in full lotus nonstop with only three small apples and three small bottles of water -- in a cave -- no sleep and no food, no water otherwise.
O.K. so when my electromagnetic energy was very strong then I did see dead spirits that go to Chunyi Lin to get healing -- they floated into the conference room from outside. Chunyi Lin said yes he also heals the dead spirits that come to him when he is emitting chi. So the dead spirits look like human shape but are holographic light energy -- they were yellow to me.
If you want to know the secrets of how to be a qigong master then study this book Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality -- free download online. The reason there are few qigong masters is it requires celibacy and total mind concentration -- and so it's best done in solitude and also around a qigong master transmitting energy into you.
This training comes from the original Bushmen trance dance culture -- which has the same training as qigong energy.
O.K. so when Chunyi Lin did the sword fingers when walking past me - then I saw bright light even though my eyes were closed -- and I felt this amazing love bliss energy that was more euphoric than anything I had experienced. So that was the Level 1 class. So the level 2 class he said he could read what percentage an organ in the body was working. So during the break I asked him what percentage my right kidney was working. He was standing in front of me and looked at my right kidney and suddenly I felt it get super hot with bliss energy. He said about 70%.
O.K. so after my level 3 training I did heal my mom so she no longer needed surgical stockings and to keep her legs elevated all the time -- and when I did the healing again it was strong magnetic fields from my hands. So for the qigong master reality is holographic - that's what Chunyi Lin said -- so he can distantly focus on someone just having their name, sex, location and age.
O.K. so then this old lady asked me to heal her and the healing is without any touching but I forgot to not pull the energy blockages out from the top center of the head. So I accidentally pulled her spirit right out of her body and she immediately started bawling and kept bawling for at least 15 minutes nonstop. So when the electromagnetic energy is strong you have to be careful -- when I pulled her spirit out of her it felt like a heavy electromagnetic blob. So at first in the training the jing energy is built up so the kidneys get hot and then the thymus and then the energy turns from hot bliss into electromagnetic energy. This has to be stored and built up and then the middle of the brain gets hot and electromagnetic and you can have electromagnetic fields shoot out of the middle of the brain -- this is how telepathy happens.
For astral travel there is a spacetime vortex around the body -- and this is what really freaked me out so I stopped training after that -- intensively. But then Chunyi Lin touched his finger to my forehead to further open my third eye so then I had a permanent magnetic bliss in the middle of my brain after that. He said I had an enlightenment experience.
That was in 2000. So then I spent 10 years sitting in full lotus and reading one scholarly book a day to translate it back into Western science. I was no longer storing up the chi energy but instead just transmitting it through my pineal gland but I needed to purify the jing energy first to build up the chi before transmitting it through the pineal gland. So then I stopped transmitting the energy through the pineal gland.
But essentially the pineal gland will read other peoples' energy through this spirit energy -- it is light energy that shoots out of the eyes and the pineal gland -- and then my own internal body will then holographically reflect the blockage in someone else. So the main blockages are emotional electrochemical blockages so that each main organ is actually for a main emotion -- since they are electrochemical energy. So a liver blockage is anger -- so if someone has a big liver blockage around me then my own liver will burn hot until I clear out their liver blockage. The pancreas is worry, the lungs are sadness, the heart is over-excitement, the kidneys are fear. So each of these organs gets transformed to build up the love energy of the heart that is then transmitted out of the pineal gland as spirit holographic energy.
The 1% difference in DNA as the intelligence scam: Neil Tyson compared to Tony Wright
Maybe everything we are compared to the chimp is not as smart as we think it is -- maybe it's almost nothing.
Neil Tyson on how humans are made of the same chemicals in the same ratios as found throughout the universe.
How this reflects to life on Earth and intelligence.
What this means in terms of alien extraterrestrials....
What Neil Tyson is ignoring is that so-called "intelligence" is based on a Western science/art definition -- not based on the trance shamanic healing original humans of the Bushmen culture.
I had some correspondence with Professor Stewart -- He wrote a book on alien evolution -- cowritten with a biologist -- he said that if there are aliens they would be like Taoist hermits. I said that actually Taoist hermits can already travel into outerspace and spirits are real and the spirits are the real aliens. This is also the Muslim view that the aliens are Jinns.
O.K. so then I wrote Professor Stewart about how telepathy was already real for humans because Stewart writes on quasi telepathy in paddlefish and other water creatures using electromagnetic communication. I said I had trained in qigong and so I've had telepathy from electromagnetic waves emanating out of the center of my brain.
Professor Stewart replied he did not believe in natural telepathy but he did think that qubits from quantum computing would create telepathy. Here's his response from the journal Nature on qubit mind control from quantum computing
So Neil Tyson needs to reverse his logic -- instead of thinking that a 1% difference in DNA would make aliens super-intelligent compared to humans -- why not realize that a 1% difference is actually not crucial at all. We share 50% of DNA with a banana.
Speaking of bananas there's a new interview with Tony Wright on http://realitysandwich.com -- I posted this comment:
The explanations are not mutually exclusive. http://discovermagazine.com/2010/sep/25-modern-humans-smart-why-brain-sh... O.k. so consider the "domestication" theory for the smaller brains -- if you read the references there's a connection melanin and domestication -- and lack of aggression. Now obviously this can be considered racist or Afrocentric if you consider that melanin also creates hydrogen power internally -- it's an electromagnetic sink. There's a book on Darwinian Medicine that gets into this a bit also but consider that fructose processing is dramatically different for Africans also -- I don't know the details but it's mentioned by Gary Taubes, the doctor of the Why Sugar is Evil viral vid. But just consider the White Trash diet has caused a diabetes epidemics for non-whites. O.K. so when we're talking melanin it also relates to neuromelanin and melanin is inverse to melatonin but in terms of storing electromagnetic energy the real issue is melatonin conversion to DMT as pineal gland energy. So it's not just brain size -- it's what the brain is used for. Sure the Bushmen eat meat -- the original humans eat meat -- but the Bushmen culture which happens to be sorely neglected in the whole entheogen shamanic scence -- the original humans for 90% of human history -- their diet is 80% comprised of greens and nuts and fruits. Magnesium is a photo-receptor. I think Tony Wright is definitely correct but I think greens are understated in their importance -- for biophoton storage and the role of the brain as emitting biophoton energy. The Bushmen culture needs to be studied -- Tony Wright is saying meditation was used as a technique to deal with the loss of the original fruit forest diet. The Bushmen became separated from the rest of early humans due to a severe drought in 90,000 BCE. That's when humans hit a bottle neck in population -- being reduced to just a few hundred people or so for all of humanity. I personally think that the increase in electromagnetic fields from the healing energy causes the brain to expand and the skull to expand. I can assure you that the shamanic electromagnetic training causes the skull to pulsate and get soft like it was when a baby -- just as the body becomes as supple and flexible as a baby. It makes neotony seem silly when we're talking about the ability to shape-shift by shamans. There's an amazing untapped human potential that the West knows little about even in the entheogen scene because the real shamanic training relies on storing electromagnetic energy like an electric eel but even more so as alchemical transmution -- more like sonofusion. Diet is one aspect but keep in mind that when the Bushmen do their shamanic training they are limited to a vegetarian diet -- no meat -- and also when the training is most intense then there is long fasting. When the body is in serious alchemical training then all the nutrition and even water can be created through transmutation. For example the http://qigongmaster.com training is to go 7 weeks with no food, no water and no sleep. Tony Wright has gone so many days with no sleep and he has the record in the West but it is nothing for what the qigong masters do. Chunyi Lin of http://springforestqigong.com also went a month with no sleep, but also no food and no water. At the end of that training they have to take 200 volts through the body among other skills. Levitation, and turning wine into water and predicting the weather in detail ten days ahead of time are other skills that have to be perfected. Long distance healing is another. The Bushmen, the original humans, can do these things also but only the master healers who also sometimes separate themselves from the rest of the group. So this is due to storing up the neurohormones -- converting the lower body serotonin into brain transmitters as it is ionized through ultrasound and the ionized vagus nerve then bypasses the blood brain barrier.
Tony Wright then responded!
Rather than chimps ‘evolving’ intelligence for tool use they simply drew on the latent intelligence courtesy of the expansion phase yet in finding ways to survive they were degenerating more quickly. Bonobos in captivity appear to be more intelligent without the harsher environments to ‘drive’ said intelligence.
So I am trying to get Tony Wright to acknowledge the shamanism of the Bushmen culture -- but apparently he thinks some earlier form of human or hominid in the forest was "more intelligent" and that the later tool use/meat eating human was a degenerate intelligence adapted to more harsh environmental conditions.
I am willing to consider this fruit forest human intelligence option but I think it favors a chemical model of intelligence versus the electromagnetic holographic model that is already demonstrated in qigong masters and the Bushmen healing masters, etc. I think to ignore this holographic electromagnetic model of consciousness is to still cling to the exact same Western science "degenerate" bias that Tony Wright considers to be the problem.
But obviously Tony Wright is considering intelligence in the opposite sense to Neil Tyson.
This reminds me of the debate about whether pgymies are forest dwellers are before the Bushmen genetically or are from the Bushmen culture, etc.
Their uniparental markers represent the most ancient divergent ones right after those typically found in Khoisan peoples.
So they live in the forest but the Pygmies are from the Khoisan -- and we can guess the Khoisan originally lived in the forest as well but the Pygmy shamanism doesn't seem as strong as the Khoisan training.
Hey Drew! Hope you've been well. I just did, get this, a FREE complete SFQ Level 1 training session in Atlanta. Chunyi taught it and went around doing healing on everyone while we meditated to the Small Universe CD.
Learning Strategies sponsored this. I don't know if you or your readers got the email but they are also offering 9 Distance Phone Healing sessions starting the first week of May for . . . . FIVE DOLLARS!! Lesley Vincent, Jim, and Chunyi will be doing the sessions. You probably already know this but I haven't been to the blog for awhile and just wanted to mention it.
I asked Chunyi about my inability to break the 1 hour 15 min mark in full lotus. I asked if it had to do with my channels not being open and he said, "no, this is a mind thing. When you reach the limit you must simply observe yourself and the pain. You just are an observer at that point." Best I can recall those were the words.
I also mentioned I'd taken Level 3 two years ago but that I didn't think my 3rd Eye had opened. I asked him, "are you able to perceive how close I might be, or will the process take years?" He did that same eye thing you mention, you know - where all the sudden he looks really serious and the smile drops away and you can tell he's going into the emptiness. He said, "no I think it will happen soon." I said, "really?" He goes, "yes I think it will happen soon. Your intuition, your sixth sense, will start to unfold - it's not something you necessarily see but it's the sixth sense." Or something like that. To be honest I think I was a little star-struck you know, to be right there talking with the Master - and so I don't think I paid enough attention to his exact words.
I mentioned that I was his only authorized SFQ instructor in Georgia and he sort of did that kind laugh/smile thing, saying something like, "ohh yes, yes, thank you so much for coming, yes." Funny though that I'm authorized to teach Level 1 but my real level of attainment is so low. He did make a point though to reach out and shake my hand as I left which was cool because in the class he talked about the importance of the Laogong points, especially before making business deals, that these points are powerful points of energy connection between people.
Couldn't catch up with Master Nance because he was in a different room doing healing on folks. Anyway I wanted to mention the free free healing phone sessions starting in one week - $5 for NINE SESSIONS!! Maybe you can spread the word.
Also, you probably saw this too, but Master Wang Liping's Dragon Gate PRACTICE MANUAL IN ENGLISH IS OUT! http://www.amazon.com/Ling-Bao-Tong-Neng-Gong/dp/1470174545/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335382515&sr=8-1
Thank you for your stories and recommendations. I have the Mantak Chia book and the SFQ fundamental set now. I was wondering if you might reference or explain again your full lotus method? Is it just doing the microcosmic meditation while in full lotus? I live in NC and am thinking about a seminar w/ Michael Winn, ever hear of him? Maybe I should jus save my time for a trip to MN to go the SFQ thing. Thanks again
Macarius -- so from your enthusiasm I can tell you had fun enjoying the laser love energy of Master Chunyi Lin. haha.
Maybe you want to describe how this felt? Did you feel strong electromagnetic energy or an internal heat bliss or did you see light or as Chunyi Lin says you are developing your sixth sense!
That is awesome news.
I find it amazing that he says sitting in full lotus longer is a mind thing. haha. Yes Chunyi Lin said when he sat in full lotus in the cave for his month long meditation at first he was afraid but then his third eye opened up and the whole cave filled with light and then he traveled into heaven. haha.
Transposed Unreality -- yes sounds like you will want to do this $5 phone healing deal with spring Forest qigong in May. I wonder if there is a limit to this -- maybe not since it's a phone group healing. I did not know about this!
All I can do is recommend Chunyi Lin or Effie P. Chow as those are the two qigong masters I have experienced. Also Jim Nance whom I saw get trained into a qigong master. So all I can say is real qigong masters are very rare but that each of us have this ability inherently if we train enough. haha.
As for my method -- I have not had a good meditation environment since I did my intensive training as I can now feel energy through walls, etc. So anyway also I need to be on a special diet which I don't practice too well. So I stopped "flexing" my pineal gland because Chunyi Lin said I need to focus on storing up my energy in my lower tan tien. But when I build up my energy then it just flows into the people around me who need that natural healing energy. haha.
Also I have to be secretative since people don't believe this stuff and think I am being egotistical or delusional etc. So that's why I just rely on sitting in full lotus as it is obviously not a fake thing to do. haha. Chunyi Lin said the small universe/microcosmic orbit energy will cycle by itself in full lotus and that 20 minutes of full lotus equals four hours of any other type of meditation.
I sit in full lotus at the computer but meditating with the eyes closed is much more powerful. I try to do that 2 hours non-stop a day but since I am no longer transmitting healing energy while I do that then it is dangerous for me. Because people need the healing energy -- so if I just use it for myself then people get upset. haha. Again I can't talk about that because people don't understand or think I am making stuff up, etc.
So as Chunyi Lin says it's good, better and best -- so even if you can do 20 minutes of practice a day of any of the exercises that are even on youtube like "moving of yin and yang" then this is great. There's some new healings posted now on the new website format of http://springforestqigong.com
As for Michael Winn -- I have enjoyed his online writing that I've read and also Mantak Chia's books. Sean Denty who created thetaobums.com website is a student of Mantak Chia but Sean Denty said Mantak Chia does not have his third eye open enough to see the light when he does the dark room meditation. So there is a big difference between electromagnetic chi energy and the laser holographic shen or shakti energy. People don't know what they are missing from a real qigong master with the laser holographic transmission ability as this is very rare.
I mean it's difficult enough to get people to believe in "qi" electromagnetic energy -- even the martial arts scene likes to make fun of this as just a parlor trick and not real martial arts. In fact it is for those who have trained to be experts in martial arts. So then only when the qi energy is built up enough does it create the laser holographic shen energy and this can not be put into words as it is spirit energy and it totally interactive with waking reality. haha.
Yeah I didn't really feel anything this time. Chunyi came over during the meditation and put his hand on my bai hui point for about 4 seconds but I didn't feel anything then. I actually asked him about this, because he emphasized how important it was for us to feel sensations while we practiced. I said I hardly ever feel anything despite years of consistent practice. He said not to worry about it, that this was just how my particular energy system was.
Now when I took the Level 3 seminar in 2010 I did feel something when he came around and did individual healing. I think I mentioned it on here before, but my hands felt like they had large embedded magnets. It's almost like the sensation you get in your hand if you spin one of those little gyroscopes and hold it. Or if you've got an external drive and you disconnect it quickly and hold it - the spinning of the disk generates that gyroscopic feel. That's sort of what it felt like in my hands. And that evening when I would do the Joining of Yin and Yang exercise the same feeling would return. I still feel that fairly frequently, although it's very subtle. And the chi sort of licks around the channels in the hands. You know when Vader throws the Emperor into the chasm on the second Death Star and there's that quick shot of the Emperor's force lightning sort of licking around the grooves of Vader's mask and it illuminates his skull for a split second? That kind of behavior is what I felt the chi do in the Level 3 class.
Transposed I've gotten some of Winn's material and it's really good. The Fusion of the 5 Elements is great and the Sexual Vitality dvd is excellent. Many of Winn's forms actually overlap fairly closely with some of the SFQ exercises. I started with the Healing Tao materials but for whatever reason I gravitated towards SFQ and that's the system I've been able to be consistent with. But I'm sure meeting with Winn would be great, especially since he's nearby. He's definitely a kind guy and he interacted quite a bit with me via email.
Something else, if you're just in NC, consider the annual Dragon Gate retreat that happens in SC. Two of Master Wang Liping's 3 authorized teachers in North America are married and live in Lexington, SC. Check out the laoziacademy.us site for the info. Dr. Sun said they might try to have the next retreat in August. Usually it's a small group of folks; last time it was just 3. But it was still great learning the basics of Master Wang's system. Remember his training manual just came out and is in english. The Dragon Gate branch is also a full lotus lineage.
Drew have you read the personal practice diary of the Korean guy who opened up the Microcosmic Orbit with Master Wang's system? http://longmenpai.blogspot.com/2011/06/personal-guidance-part-1.html
I'd love to hear your thoughts/corroborations with your own cultivation experiences. It's rad, after he opens the Orbit, or the Channel Small Heavenly Orbit as they call it, he says that usually shortly after sitting in full lotus the circulation starts automatically. Reminds me of Chunyi's comment that the Small Universe runs spontaneously when you sit full lotus. Then there's a cool part where this practitioner remembers learning about the Macrocosmic circulation, and so he brings his attention to the Kidney 1 points and the chi rushes up his legs to the hui yin and then joins the main stream up the governor and down the conception. He also mentions many experiences of subtle vision that accompanied his practice of opening the orbit.
Drew as many times as I've read your accounts I can't remember if you ever discussed the details of how this happened with you. I think it already had occurred by the time of your SFQ seminar after your week or so of fasting right? Anyway I'd love to hear your comments on the Microcosmic. You know, Bodri's got some fantastic stuff on his site too about this stage - all of the "Initiating the River Chariot Rotation" articles. He says only after the front and back are truly opened can one really open the sushumna, and that only after the sushumna is opened can you reach the First Dhyana.
I've often wondered, just in terms of the esoteric anatomy, what was happening with the O at a D experiences. I know you mentioned the rushing sensation up the back and stuff - do you recall if the central channel was involved?

And that evening when I would do the Joining of Yin and Yang exercise the same feeling would return. I still feel that fairly frequently, although it's very subtle. And the chi sort of licks around the channels in the hands. You know when Vader throws the Emperor into the chasm on the second Death Star and there's that quick shot of the Emperor's force lightning sort of licking around the grooves of Vader's mask and it illuminates his skull for a split second? That kind of behavior is what I felt the chi do in the Level 3 class.
Transposed I've gotten some of Winn's material and it's really good. The Fusion of the 5 Elements is great and the Sexual Vitality dvd is excellent. Many of Winn's forms actually overlap fairly closely with some of the SFQ exercises. I started with the Healing Tao materials but for whatever reason I gravitated towards SFQ and that's the system I've been able to be consistent with. But I'm sure meeting with Winn would be great, especially since he's nearby. He's definitely a kind guy and he interacted quite a bit with me via email.
DeleteSomething else, if you're just in NC, consider the annual Dragon Gate retreat that happens in SC. Two of Master Wang Liping's 3 authorized teachers in North America are married and live in Lexington, SC. Check out the laoziacademy.us site for the info. Dr. Sun said they might try to have the next retreat in August. Usually it's a small group of folks; last time it was just 3. But it was still great learning the basics of Master Wang's system. Remember his training manual just came out and is in english. The Dragon Gate branch is also a full lotus lineage.
Drew have you read the personal practice diary of the Korean guy who opened up the Microcosmic Orbit with Master Wang's system? http://longmenpai.blogspot.com/2011/06/personal-guidance-part-1.html
I'd love to hear your thoughts/corroborations with your own cultivation experiences. It's rad, after he opens the Orbit, or the Channel Small Heavenly Orbit as they call it, he says that usually shortly after sitting in full lotus the circulation starts automatically. Reminds me of Chunyi's comment that the Small Universe runs spontaneously when you sit full lotus. Then there's a cool part where this practitioner remembers learning about the Macrocosmic circulation, and so he brings his attention to the Kidney 1 points and the chi rushes up his legs to the hui yin and then joins the main stream up the governor and down the conception. He also mentions many experiences of subtle vision that accompanied his practice of opening the orbit.
Drew as many times as I've read your accounts I can't remember if you ever discussed the details of how this happened with you. I think it already had occurred by the time of your SFQ seminar after your week or so of fasting right? Anyway I'd love to hear your comments on the Microcosmic. You know, Bodri's got some fantastic stuff on his site too about this stage - all of the "Initiating the River Chariot Rotation" articles. He says only after the front and back are truly opened can one really open the sushumna, and that only after the sushumna is opened can you reach the First Dhyana.
I've often wondered, just in terms of the esoteric anatomy, what was happening with the O at a D experiences. I know you mentioned the rushing sensation up the back and stuff - do you recall if the central channel was involved?
