So we can use probability to determine the likely hood of fact or fiction?



IE; it seems most likely that he works within Buddhist tradition as it was presented to him and understood (or realized) by him. Is that an erroneous assumption?

Behold the box.

lol, you're going to enlighten someone?  
You might want to work on your arrogance if you're truly serious...
Also, its kind of funny how you're talking about boxes while boxing yourself in.

there's different mental dispositions requiring different antidotes in the forms of teachings, hence why there's such a wide range of teachings. also, different minds understand the same idea in different ways, using different descriptions, etc - so there's natural variation in that too.

there's a common saying in buddhism that the finger is not the moon. the finger is the teachings, and the moon is realization. while there is only one moon as you say, there can be many different fingers pointing to it based on where people are relative to the moon. if people get stuck on the finger part that's a problem, the goal is to see the moon and then forget the finger.

That is your belief, which gives insight into your very perspective. With your eyes I can see how jealous you must be. Mistaken my confidence for arrogance to shit on me.

If that were true he'd be wearing shorts and a tee shirt on hot days.

Or nothing at all! Such a false dichotomy you present!

What do you know of Love Byrain?

Little, but then I'm not the one claiming to be enlightened and then getting stuck on boxes and imagined jealousy.

Hello teknix.

What is the difference between qigong and meditation?

How is Kundalini methods practiced, and how does it correlate to a serpent that resides within?

What does MCO stand for?

Meditation is when you sit in a way that feels good, qi gong is when you stand in a way that feels good.

Microcosmic orbit is a Taoist internal alchemy and directly related to the kundalini system, but it is looking from a different angle. Here you See the microcosmic orbit:



And here you see the chakra system:



Hopefully you can see a different look at a similar phenomena.

Meditation is an important part of ever system, including qiqong. Qiqong focus has a different look at the energy system as well and includes meditation, exercise, and focus breathing. Breathing plays a very important role in qiqong and really does have medical benefits due to increasing the oxygen in your blood which translates to better efficiencies of oxidative phosphorylation which synthesis ATP (useable energy for the body). They use abdominal breathing to aid the process because:

3. Gases readily diffuse across the mucosa. The direction of diffusion is dictated by the partial pressure of that gas in blood versus luminal contents. For methane and hydrogen, diffusion is always out of the lumen into blood. Nitrogen and CO2 diffuse in either direction, depending on specific conditions within the individual.

Some bacteria and yeasts organisms are unable to cope with the presence of oxygen. These organisms use fermentation as a method of obtaining energy in the form of ATP. Because the production of lactic acid frees up NAD+, the process of glycolysis can continue.[3]

Lactic acid fermentation also occurs in animal muscle cells under conditions when oxygen is low. Extreme exercise would be an example of this. In this situation, the lactate is carried away by the circulatory system to the liver, where it is converted back to pyruvate through the Cori cycle.[2]

Fermentation, however, is far less effective than cellular respiration, producing only two ATP molecules per glucose molecule consumed. The typical yield from cellular respiration is anywhere from 34-38 molecules of ATP. Thus, it is typically seen only in small organisms, such as bacteria and yeast, that can survive on this low energy yield.[3]

Er sorry about my outburst, I don't think I even answered the question.

I think my schizophrenia and my manic depression ends today.

Whatever you do guys, don't open doors then let yourself go. You gotta keep your shit together if you're going to scale those heights.
