He was, and this isn't the place so I'll bow out on

this point with the following - he founded an

incomplete art. A good seed, but unfortunately he

didn't hang around to let it grow.

I dunno...his life speaks for itself - blazing glory

with a big pop at the (near) end. It would have been

more interesting for me if he had hung around. My pov.

A lot of people have passed the basics. He didn't.

Of course not, I'm in my league.

If you haven't reached it, then how could you discuss

it?

I have done pigu meditation (as referred to in my

training (which is funny because pigu with different

tones means bum)) and it _does_ allow one to live on

less food and water. Using whatever skill I have

acquired in the CM profession I tried to pay attention

and did find it to be a stable ride. Like any ride, it

could be abused or misunderstood, but again, anything

can be abused/misunderstood. There is risk in life.

Once again, my point: it is quite safe, it is quite

effective, and it can be abused, but I'm sure I could

gouge out my eye with this here keyboard if I were

really motivated to so. And if I were to do that, it

wouldn't reflect on the keyboard in the least.

 

I see no reason human beings can't do any of these

crazy things: not eat food, become enlightened, use

acu needles to treat disease, fly and /even/ walk thru

walls. As far as I'm concerned we barely have begun to

map these " things " which we refer to as " laws " , and

I'm sure we're missing most of the picture. So I keep

my mind really open, and hopefully it will fall out

one of these days.

 

Thanks, this'll be my last post on this topic, see

you on another thread, Sammy.
