How does Qigong masters light fire?
Since most of those abilities showed off are in a martial art setting I will give you my background on the matter. I started training Martial Arts when I was 10 years old. I got into it because everybody in my family was doing it and it was sort of a “fighting culture” back home. Looking back on it, I also think it was a power thing. Dominating others etc. Eric often says that people come to him for two reasons. One of them is for Power. It’s like an inner knowing for a whitecell that you need to seek out “weapons” for a conflict in the future.
Well, as I was growing up I wanted to be the best that I could be. And being more intellectual than my friends, I early understood that you needed to surround yourself with the most successful people within the area you want to evolve. Therefore, I spent a lot of time to learn how to sort out quality from bullshit. Do the research and read people. Martial Art is an arena with most scams of them all. And everybody think they are following the “right path” and hardly take a good look at what they are doing. The best way to discover the authenticity here is “let’s get ready and see what you got!”. So, you have to get your hands dirty and take some beating.
If I think this video posted is real? Click here to see. Yes it is real, but it’s not what they want us to believe, which is miraculous Qi. Let’s look at what they are doing. The Chinese student is being pushed off balance and thrown away several meters. This is just a Tai Chi principal of physics. The master is grounded, keeping himself as one unit, aligned in the correct position, has his legs the right way and keeps both of his shoulder facing the guy giving the master all the power in the world. (The other guy does everything wrong.) This is all because of physics and body alignment. You can read all about it at my Sifu Daniel Xuans website. Or see another example here that shows the exact same scenario without claming mystical powers: click here. For people who don’t know about anatomy and physics this is going to be mind-blowing!!!
The other guys are putting on an act, and make it all theatrical. They don’t want to make their master look stupid. The master is using the same principle on all the exercises. Also, when the American guy does the Judo throw on him, he doesn’t even do it right. You are supposed to drag the other person out of balance towards you before you even do the throw. But instead the student is moving himself out of balance, into the masters body and then trying to throw him. Of course he is going to fail. The master is balanced and in control!
I can go on and on and on about the details. I wish I could demonstrate. Maybe at the next retreat?
I once came across a true master that had a lot of “metaphysical” abilities. Basically he was teaching something called MeowTong Qigong. It was a closed-door secret linage of Qigong. He took you in for a session and treated your meridians like acupuncture. But, instead of using needles he sent Qi energy through his fingers. I thought this was amazing. I was sure it was some kind of strong Qi energy or something. He could even light paper on fire! And a number of other miracles displayed.
I was thinking to myself. Finally, I witness something that I always wanted to believe in and a proof that the world is not square. I looked at him as a real master and I thought his teachings were authentic. His grandmaster also had strong abilities; one of them could see long distances and another one could hear very well!! Supernatural beings I was told. There were people from all over the world learning from him. Learning meaning showing up meditate etc. He never actually taught how he did the “miracles”. That was something you would learn after going there for many years.
Now, I had bit of luck and with diligence, persistence and MONEY I managed to get into the “inner circle”. I was going to learn the technique he is using. I cannot begin to tell you the excitement I had. So this is what the deal is: Basically, you are just harnessing electricity from the wall. First, you expose yourself to it until you can resist the voltage coming from the wall. Then, you learn to store more and more inside your body and move it around with your intent. You can move it from your feet up to your head. And it feels like a tingling under your skin when you move it around. It’s really cool! The next thing is that after you are charged up you become the positive polarity. So everything you touch that is negative (ground) will react to your touch when you choose to. So, if someone is standing on the ground without shoes on (you have to wear shoes, otherwise you will be discharged) will feel your electricity when you touch him. Also, when you put a paper on the ground and you touch it will cause the paper to burn because it becomes the weak medium between + and -. There are all kinds of tricks you can do such as getting things to stick to your hands etc etc.. Notice that the people doing this have shoes on or standing on something to keep them away from the ground. Look at this link that Eric P. found that illustrates the trick. Click here.
And don’t try this at home!!! I am warning you guys! Don’t mess with electricity.
What a disappointment huh?
And now about the next video I saw posted here.
Same, thing I explained above. He is charging his body with electricity and like he says himself: “Like an electric eel he can choose to expel it”. And, an explanation on how he does it is above. Look how he is being portrayed as an authentic Taoist immortal ??? Check this article.
Look him up on internet, he is being portrayed as a real metaphysical master.. etc.etc. Review of his book “This wonderful book is the story of John Chang, a Taoist immortal, told through the eyes of a disciple. Chang is a direct heir to an ancient lineage of sages called the Mo-Pai. Through the years of apprenticeship, Kosta Danaos has witnessed many of the siddhi arts, or divine powers such as levitation, telekinesis, telepathy, pyrokinesis, and visits to the afterlife. A great thing about this book, it isn’t just about the psi arts, it gives scientific explanations for those events which, heretofore, are often not explained logically.” But, it was never an explanation on how he is using electricity. (He talks about Ying/Yang power. What he really means is Yang being the ground and Ying the positive electricity; this is the terminology used when I learned it).
This is highly deceiving!
I saw a lot of the other videos but I think I am going to stop here. You probably see where I am coming from. If it is too good to be true it normally is.
There are many things out there and many “masters” who, claims all kind of metaphysical skills. And students often waste decades staying with a teacher to learn their special “powers” thinking there is something to it. And, surely 99% end up walking down a dead end when they find out it is not really true metaphysical. Why do you think it takes a lifetime before the “secret” is revealed?
But the real deal is out there. I have met people who can use their qi to “freeze” your body for a second to make their attack. Or use their energy to dominate you so you feel disoriented. A lot of debunking can be seen on a very entertaining series Mind, Body and Kick Ass Moves by BBC.
I hope this will shine some light on the matter.
To be honest with you guys. If it weren’t for Eric Pepin I would still be stuck harnessing electricity. I was sworn to secrecy on how it was done, I had to take an oath in front of the spirits. Maybe I would be deceiving people the same way at this day? I am sure you guys wouldn’t be able to get this information anywhere else, its well protected by the people who want to impress and influence. And thank Eric for the right education.
I have only met one true teacher of the metaphysical in my life and that is Eric Pepin. Based on the things I have seen him do and the things he has taught me. I find it funny now that the things the earlier masters I met considered supernatural such as remote viewing, has become daily activities for me.
Ironically, the biggest skeptic I know is Eric Pepin. He will look for all the flaws and come up with at least three answers before he claims something is supernatural. Furthermore, he thinks it is unfortunate that those “tricks” might lead people away from the true teachings that will leads to awakenings of white cells. “The real deal is out there. But it is very hard to find”.
Eric told me that by harnessing electricity you are not working with the force. It is artificial energy and not Prana. He sees it as no different than working a muscle. He also believes that the electricity will strengthen your “I’s”. (he had a lot more to say about the topic, but this was just a very short summary of what he had to say)
Okey, that’s it. I hope you guys enjoyed the information even though there is a lot more I could say. I guess you will look at the videos with different eyes this time?
Cool I think i have just read the smartest reply i have ever read on this matter its mind boggaling in fact i have read the the secreat teachings of a taoist immortal by john chang and sent emails to the doa bum website. My point is the live in secreacy and the book plain states as if koasta danoas pride did not get the best of him he says here is the book but i will not tell you how to harness these powers. Its like putting candy in front of a babys face and then not giving him any.I told a member on the tao bums website that there no reason to hide what you know its like john chang says there is no such thing as supernatural becuse everything he learned is from the natural. I do belive he is sort of a mystic but i also think that koasta danoas should talk with his mouth instead of inpeadating speach by not explainning everything. My point i mayed was that if you tell me the moi-pai art you inprove my life dont worry about how i use it but what you do with it. Its like this an evil man uses his teachings to do evil wile a good man will do good so why hide what you know? I know that what you point out about body electricity is probably 99 percent true with a little mind body intent. Thanks i will take this into studys of my own i belive we are delling with the spirit for everything comes from the spirit it has been lifetimes of sudy in magick and most of us really cant direct are body energy becuse we dont know how too. Know i know real magick thinks too you. If you dont mind telling me about eric id appreciate it but if not i understand. Anything on the mataphysical? You got good insite joseph

I would like more information on this.

Hi Baard Williams
Thanks for a fantastic explanation.
I am not “trained” in any discipline but very curious in the esoteric aspects of Healing, Chi and Chakra. In my own personal investigations, I was fortunate to have met people with clairvoyant abilities. They told me many unseeable things and I tried to make use of the information. What I have found are captured in videos which were uploaded to youtube today. http://youtube.com/watch?v=aseU5RevvPI

Please have a look and appreciate an email from you please.
Thanks in advance.
