Well spoken, Simon. I am not suggesting the Free Ware is any didfferent for a tantric buddhist than a taoist or a christian. It just has a different interface, wo it appears with different icons. But the core principles are always the same, only one life force.

>Hi Michael, as I am not that experienced in Alchemy yet: how does one differentiate between what is really going on and that which is just a byproduct of the mind’s ability to create? “Tuning” into a spiritual lineage could be just the mind cheating you to believe you have tuned in. This is no criticism, just an honest question.

Since starting sungazing 2.5 months ago, I might have already been hacking into human systems through dreaming.For instance, last night I was reading and rewriting the Christian Bible in my dreams and I’ve been avidly studying pagan documents too.
I’ve not done anything along these lines previous to sungazing.Perhaps…[Read more]

Harry,
I am not making a blanket condemnation of falun gong – lots of people gets lots of benefit from it, they learn a practice and the group gives them discipline to do qigong and focus on virtue.but its like a fish nibbling on a juicy worm. There’s a hook hidden inside, preying on your natural ego insecurity – if only I surrender…[Read more]

I see we have a tribe of independents who have learned their lessons about what happens when you follow someone else’s spiritual authority.
I think you are all in the right place, on this path, in the forum, hanging with other free thinkers and cultivators.

Michael Winn replied to the topic Taoist Immortals & their health??? in the forum General 20 years, 9 months ago
These are all reasonable questions, and all reasonable answers posted.
The assumption underlying the question is that immortality – or chi kung methods to cultivate it – removes you from the world. This is an error; it deepens your relationship with the world.
Nature is immortal in the sense it is enduring as Earth, and a human immortal is…[Read more]

Beginning with Greater Kan&LI, the primordial form is combined with a hybrid
taoist-western system of calling in the elemental forces and beings of all directions as a way of intensifying it. The movements and tones are linked to the internal sun-moon alchemy practice.By the way, I am good friends…[Read more]

If this posting is accurate (i.e. by a recent student of Kumar), it is a late development, probably a competitive development to Healing Tao Water and Fire methods.
I took Kumar’s entire training the first time he offered the complete cycle of both his water chi kung and bagua training. At the time he did not know I was teaching inner alchemy,…[Read more]
