(The sadness is that it works only if you believe!) you have felt this or experienced it? If not how can your statement be true? if one post something that from the outset deems it impossible, there is little point in asking others weather it is. For those that have experienced probably few in numbe...

The question was because just reading it, it seems so different from my own experiences. I don’t know how my own teacher would say it but I just wondered weather he was writing from first hand experience. Thank you for the time in translating it is interesting reading just does not describe my own f...

(What might I expect to see in the future?) depends on where your future leads you, you might reject it all and find something else. you might embreace it to the point where there is nothing else, and not find it. or you might just contine to practice and what ever comes will come when you are ready...

(They all want to believe so bad that they seem to pretend that they are being pushed back, not wanting to upset the poor person trying to force the line back without contact.) they want, they seem. But not what you felt. Maybe they are feeling something or not, since you do not it matters little in...

(Second, a lot of us, (especially me probably) are yet to feel the sensation of chi, and as far as I am aware, none of them know what jing is, admitedly, I am a newby with this concept. Third, in my opinion, and again I meen no disrespect, it would take a great deal of practice to generate enough ji...

To bob, and all. I come here every once in awhile to read some quite interesting postings and compare notes so to speak. Somehow this thread has gotten far away from addressing the original posting. I like this broad among others for the thoughtful and scholarly insights, (sometimes to scholarly for...

Hi Bob, Don’t understand much of your posting or the reasons behind it. All I have said is that for some they don’t care or wish themselves to be public nothing more. I have shared some of my own experiences, and posted clips that seem to be the same type to show what I was posting about. With cavea...

http://v2.56.com/id2001241.html some of what has been talked about in this thread. Enjoy http://www.yangfamilytaiji.com/ubb/wink.gif Interesting to note that over and over he says do not use li, do not use your muscles this is not taiji. (I looked at Wang Peishen's clip, and he certainly showed gre...

(I'm interested in any theories, interpretations, insight, or references to the literature. Also, if there's anyone out there practicing this kind of technique, how do you take care not to injure each other?) A stone cast causes many ripples not all returning to the source. What I never understand i...

(Next time any of y'all are at one of these demonstrations, just ask the Master who is showing this if you can touch his elbow or knee while he does it to someone else. That's all I'm asking. IF, and that's a MIGHTY BIG IF believe you me, any one of them will allow that... You'll feel, rather than n...

(I can certainly believe that there are some people out there who are weak minded and can be lead, mentally, to do something against their will physically.) maybe I should be more clear. I have no wish to argue or be in a position of defending / proving something that I have experienced, work with a...
