MessageThe electricity is the result of someone who has actually combined yin and yang qi. The outward ability is simply a result of a much more profound change in the body-mind of the practitioner. In the Lei Shan Dao when the "cords" that hold the Dantien are cut, the practioner has reached the first stage of immortality. If your really interested, the author of the book Entitled The Magus of Java wrote very clearly on the various stages of the practice and how they correspond to the various stories of immortality. He was appreticed to a living immortal named John Chang. Believe what you will. At this point, and actually even in the stage preceeding this one, reincarnation ceases. Immortality, the kind where one lives on in the material body, is rarer, but I personally believe the stories.
As to the transmission you received, I have experienced similar things with a few masters, one from India and one from Tibet. In each case, I felt incredible bliss and the sensation of energy. I trained in the master from India's basic technique and after a few weeks was able to duplicate this bliss and energy on my own.
I trained in this technique for about one year and I believe this particular master does have some level of realisation because he under went 20 years of training as a monk and another 5 in tapas; tapas is 21 hours per day, every day, of meditation in the highest pitch of Samadhi. He told us that he went in to his meditation room with one commitment; either I come out a yogi or my dead body shall come out. It's my belief at this point in my practice that, while perhaps if one dedicated himself to a technique like this under these conditions for that long they could achieve a genuine level of realisation or become a saint, most people don't have this kind of opportunity to practice.
I also believe that with any basic meditation technique, if you practice long enough and hard enough you will experience all the various sensations of bliss, light and energy. But in the end these really don't amount to anything because they are defined and limited set of sensory perceptions. They are the first step in a much broader range of actual results.
One thing that attracts me to these masters in China is that they can objectively measure your progress by touching you and using their qi to see how far you have progressed. They can tell the exact state of your Dantien and whether you've done any practice or not. Actually, to open your Dantein for real, meaning you break the first two cords and achieve what's commonly refered to as stage two or level two, you have to be extremly careful to control strong emotions.
If for example, you touch a person in anger, your qi will go straight to their heart, following the path of least resistence and destroy the tissue there. This is why the Tibetan Buddhists go through so much trouble to teach Dharma and non-violence before they teach students the higher level Vajra practices. Some Tibetan lineages still teach up to stage two. Also the Chinese military trains their solders to this level, but it's really a very basic achievement in comparrison to the Lei shan dao masters in China that I met. In fact, the author of the Magus of Java achieved level two; at one point he almost killed a few of his students on accident. His hands and other energy points have marks on them where his qi issued from his body. Interestingly, Tibetan practitioners who complete the Vajra practice known as Phowa have these same markings on their body often times.
As to my issues, frankly raising a child has helped me resolve more of those than Michael or the practices he teaches ever could. Now that's real alchemy.
Best, Sean
