You've meditated. You've journaled. You've done the work. So why do you still feel stuck? If that question hits a nerve, this episode is for you. Master Mingtong Gu has a clear and somewhat unsettling answer, and it has nothing to do with your mindset. About This Episode Master Mingtong Gu trained at a real hospital in China where the only prescription was energy, no medicine, no surgery, no supplements, just Qigong practice, all day, every day. The results were documented. The patients were real. And the conditions being healed were the kind conventional medicine had already given up on. In this conversation, Will and Karen sit down with Master Gu to explore what Wisdom Healing Qigong actually is, why most of us are spiritually "trying" from the neck up while completely bypassing the body, and what that disconnect costs us in an age increasingly dominated by AI. His core argument is simple and hard to shake: the gap between knowing something and actually living it doesn't live in your mind. It lives in your body. What You'll Discover
- Why "incurable" is a statement about a doctor's limits, not yours, and what Master Gu says that means for your healing
- The two patterns of energy that explain chronic stress, anxiety, and physical tension in one framework, and why "negative energy" might be the wrong lens entirely
- What 8 to 10 hours of daily Qigong practice at the medicine-less hospital actually looked like, and why the intensity mattered
- The surprising reason group practice produces results that solo practice can't replicate, including what a 30-day energy measurement study found
- Why the AI conversation isn't just about technology. it's about whether we're choosing to remain human
- A short embodiment practice Master Gu leads mid-episode that you can do right now, hands on chest, no experience required

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Okay, Karen, I need you to picture something.
2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Okay. Anything?
3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
No, very specific, something.
4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
You ready?
5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,000
I was already on it.
6
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,000
I could see that. You are very good at that.
7
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
But here, I need you to picture specifically a hospital.
8
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Oh, okay.
9
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Real patients, serious diagnoses,
10
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
incurable conditions on the charts,
11
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
and yet absolutely zero medicine in the building.
12
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Now, before you make that face,
13
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
this place actually existed.
14
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Really?
15
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Yes, in China.
16
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,000
And people were reportedly walking out from that hospital, healed.
17
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Oh!
18
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
From things the doctors had given up on,
19
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
using nothing but energy and the power of their own bodies.
20
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,000
That sounds amazing.
21
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
I know, I had the same reaction,
22
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
but here's the part that really stopped me cold.
23
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Our guest didn't just read about this place.
24
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
He trained there, under the man who built it.
25
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
And what he figured out about why most of us are stuck,
26
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
not in our minds, but physically,
27
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
cellularly stuck, even after years of meditation and therapy
28
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
and doing all the right spiritual work,
29
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,000
it's not what you think.
30
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,000
No?
31
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
I didn't know what I'm thinking.
32
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Because I know you're caring.
33
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Genuine question.
34
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
One of the missing piece isn't another practice.
35
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
One of its your body, finally being laid in on the secret
36
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
that changes everything.
37
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Oh, now I want to know that secret.
38
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
So do I.
39
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
And so do you.
40
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
We're about to find out on the skeptic manipulations.
41
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
My name is Will.
42
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,000
And I'm Karen.
43
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,000
And unlike Mulder and Scully.
44
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Both want to believe.
45
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
So we've embarked on a journey of discovery.
46
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
We've talked to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual and metaphysical world.
47
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000
We've thrown ourselves into weird and wonderful experiences.
48
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000
I even joined a Covenant witch.
49
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
And, wait.
50
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
You joined a Covenant?
51
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Yep.
52
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
All in the interest of finding something.
53
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Anything.
54
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
That will prove that there's something beyond this physical.
55
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Three-dimensional world we all live in.
56
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
This is the skeptic metaphys.
57
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
The skeptic manipulations.
58
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
[Music]
59
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,000
[Music]
60
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Hey there, before we get to the interview,
61
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
I bet that you just skipped over those commercials, didn't you?
62
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
And I bet that you were a little annoyed that you had to do that in the first place.
63
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
You're here for the show after all, not for the ads.
64
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,000
And honestly, so are we.
65
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000
I think Karen and I created the skeptic manipulations to explore spiritual weakening
66
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
and expanding consciousness from a grounded, pragmatic point of view.
67
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
But here's the reality.
68
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Producing this show isn't free.
69
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Editing, recording platforms, hosting, marketing, community support,
70
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
all of it adds up.
71
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000
We invest literally hundreds of dollars every single month
72
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
because we believe these conversations matter.
73
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,000
And here's what we'd really love to do.
74
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,000
We'd love to get rid of those generic commercials altogether.
75
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
So if you're a listener who simply wants to support what we're building,
76
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,000
you can donate or become a member through our Buy Me a Coffee page.
77
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Even a small monthly contribution helps offset production costs
78
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,000
and moves us closer to an ad-free experience for everyone.
79
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Either way, your support gives us something incredibly valuable.
80
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Freedom.
81
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Freedom will keep these conversations independent, freedom to go deeper,
82
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
freedom to create without filling your ears with commercials you don't care about.
83
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
If that sounds good to you,
84
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000
we'll head over to skepticminivision.com and choose the option that feels right.
85
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000
And truly, thank you for being here.
86
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Now let's get on with the show.
87
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Hey there, I'm Will.
88
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
And I'm Care. Welcome back to the skeptic-minivision's show
89
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
that does not pull any punches.
90
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
We are here to talk about the hard questions
91
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
and I guess today trained at a hospital in China
92
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000
where the prescription wasn't pills, it wasn't surgery
93
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000
and it wasn't a referral to a specialist.
94
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000
It was energy.
95
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Other people would diagnose these conventional medicine had essentially given up on.
96
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Master Ming-Tong-Gu took that training and brought it to the west
97
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
and has since worked with over 50,000 people across 47 countries.
98
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Wow.
99
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000
He's been on PBS, he's spoken at wisdom2.0,
100
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,000
he runs 150-acre century in the southwest
101
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
and he was named Chigong Master of the Year,
102
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
which I have to say is a title I deeply respect.
103
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
But he usually actually makes us excited to talk to him.
104
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
He isn't just teaching a technique.
105
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000
He's making a case that most of us are spiritually trying
106
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,000
with our heads while completely ignoring our bodies.
107
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000
And the gap between knowing something and actually living it,
108
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
well that gap lives in the body, not in the mind.
109
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000
For anyone who's ever felt like they're doing everything right
110
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
and still feels stuck, this conversation is going to hit differently.
111
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Please welcome best-selling author of the book,
112
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:37,000
"Coming home to embodied awakening in the age of AI, Master Ming-Tong-Gu, how are you doing?"
113
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Hmm, thank you, well, thank you Karen.
114
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
But to be here with you, I'm doing just great, thank you.
115
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Master Gug, doing research on you, I had a hard time figuring out
116
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000
what part to focus on because there's so much to your story
117
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
that is fascinating and I can't wait to share it with the audience.
118
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,000
But I guess the first thing we need to touch on because we teased it.
119
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,000
How is this possible?
120
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Right, honestly, I didn't know anything about medicine at the Chikung Hospital.
121
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Even a group, grew up in China, from of course, childhood and eventually into the US.
122
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:21,000
And so I didn't have heard of Chikung until I was in graduate school,
123
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,000
study mathematics, then find arts.
124
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:31,000
So in Ohio State, actually, and so was really shocking for me.
125
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
As a Chinese, I didn't know anything about Chikung.
126
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,000
When I covered medicine at the Chikung Hospital, obviously it was like,
127
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000
"Wow, how could it be even possible?"
128
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Then I discovered this is, come from a very ancient history of China.
129
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
You can trace back to yellow and playtime, you know, dolls,
130
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
even before Buddha's, you know.
131
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000
And all these energetic practice consider as like,
132
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,000
"sequit to longevity, secret to your mortality, secret to life basically."
133
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
But I didn't know anything about it, right?
134
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,000
And I have to live like with my illness, my chronic oigurine is diagnosed with inculobosis
135
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:23,000
including asthma, scarisist for like, whole life, things, childhood.
136
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:30,000
But on that end, I didn't have any hope of like recovering from these conditions.
137
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:36,000
We learned to live with it, adapt to it, and compensate for it.
138
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,000
But life feels like continuously limiting, limiting, you're seeking for something
139
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:47,000
but couldn't find the choose, the choose solution, the choose to see, go to life, right?
140
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:55,000
So ultimately, like, whatever we're seeking, you know, most of the time is from lacking, right?
141
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Some part of us feel lacking, feel, and feel, you know, unsatisfied.
142
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
So sometimes we don't know what we're seeking.
143
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,000
But ultimately, you're seeking for, in a piece, yeah.
144
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000
And that, you know, I didn't know that at the time, right?
145
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,000
But my first experience, feeling of practicing chigong before I went to medicine in the chigong hospital,
146
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:27,000
is a sense of peace, like, inside of my skin.
147
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:34,000
And I cannot really reasoning why, but that's like very unusual, simple feeling.
148
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,000
So after discovering, you know, slow the book, slow moral research,
149
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,000
discover the medicine chigong hospitals, like, I have to do this, right?
150
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Not really kind of a mental reason, but it's more like a feeling.
151
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:58,000
But obviously, in this case, you know, my connection with my own culture feels like really important for me to go back to China to study more.
152
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:08,000
So I went back there and, you know, it's like, there's no way I can describe this phenomenon happening there.
153
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,000
You can only imagine right now, it's like, okay, you're sure, but in this place,
154
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:22,000
the people just like doing this practice, gentle movements, sometimes do sounds, sometimes do sitting meditation, walking meditation,
155
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
but with thousands of people.
156
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:34,000
And realizing, nobody is like taking medication, nobody receiving any diagnosis.
157
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000
And they're all sick, you know?
158
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:43,000
And then most of people is like, try everything already, you know, allopathic, right?
159
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,000
You have a pain, have a problem, you go to allopathic, trying to, you know, diagnosis, you know,
160
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000
whatever medication was surgery, what a man might be.
161
00:08:52,000 --> 00:09:01,000
The next thing you try is even in China, yeah, first thing is aropathic, then traditional Chinese medicine,
162
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000
then something else, more alternative, right?
163
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,000
More, even like underground, so to speak, yeah.
164
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Until you're running out of like all the options, then people, most people don't know the medicine,
165
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:22,960
hospital exist. So most time it's like, world or mouth in China is like, someone recovered from
166
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:30,640
this inculpable condition. Someone transformed their life, then they share with their family,
167
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:37,360
their colleagues, actually, at the times people bring whole village to the medicine hospital.
168
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,240
Even whole family, like, three, even up to five generations show up.
169
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,120
Wow. Is the hospital still there?
170
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,520
No, it was closed. Yeah, we're going to talk about that. It was closed by China. We'll talk
171
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:58,160
so I want to back up just a little bit because I would have brought my entire family to,
172
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:05,040
right? Just to be fair. But so are you saying that Chigong is the reason why those folks that
173
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,880
went there? I mean, you had over 5,000 people there at one point. Yeah.
174
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,000
Chigong is what helped to make them feel better?
175
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:19,760
Yes, this particular is the practice of Chigong. That's the only activity people engage in the
176
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:27,440
medicine of Chigong hospital. So even the teacher, my teacher, the founder of this form of Chigong,
177
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:35,360
the founder of the medicine Chigong hospital, he was a tradition of physician, trained in Western medicine.
178
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:43,280
And as well, going up, you know, train under many experts in traditional Chinese medicine.
179
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:51,040
But one point he decided, you know, to try the Chigong because we know a lot of condition
180
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:58,880
diagonals as inculable, right? And so he tried traditional Chinese medicine, then still too slow.
181
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:05,360
Over the time, you see the improvement, too slow. Then he tried to Chigong process.
182
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:12,000
At the time, he's not teaching Chigong in a large skill yet. But then he started realizing his inculable
183
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:21,200
recovery. And as a fact, the Chinese met, I mean, the government put him in jail twice.
184
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:28,240
Because he started to produce, I mean, prescribing less, less medication. So you can imagine,
185
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:34,720
as a physician, without prescribing medication, recovery of patients.
186
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:40,720
So basically the government started to become very suspicious of what he's doing, some sort of
187
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:47,040
black magic, whatever, my belief, right? He's a physician, whatever, you know, physician was something.
188
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:54,480
So, but after, you know, of course, you know, he searched, you know, they're discovering him,
189
00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:03,120
not doing anything wrong besides doing Chigong with them. So he became, you know, free, of course. But
190
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:12,240
he realized he has to do this, not under Chinese government controls of speak, right? And that's where
191
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:19,600
the medicine, Chigong hospital started. So I, I practiced a little bit of Chigong a long time
192
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:24,880
ago when I was in my 20s, but it was mixed in with Tai Chi. So what, what is the main difference
193
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,520
between Chigong and Tai Chi? So those that are practicing right now. Yeah, I put a question. You know,
194
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:37,840
people nowadays, Tai Chi is actually more well-known, more popular. You see this like graceful movement,
195
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:44,720
but also because of martial art, like PK. That's why Tai Chi become very popular, right? But Chigong,
196
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:52,640
actually, he's a choose, well, Tai Chi is one form of Chigong, by the way, historically speaking.
197
00:12:54,560 --> 00:13:02,400
Chigong is much broader category of practice. Okay? So there are many, many systems of Chigong
198
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:10,880
from the Chinese history, especially in modern versions. Yeah. But Tai Chi is one of them. Okay? Gotcha.
199
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:18,720
And you know, you know, when you, because Tai Chi is more popular, you're attending Tai Chi classes,
200
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:24,960
some teacher, Tai Chi teacher, started introducing some Chigong, other kind of technique of Chigong
201
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:33,280
as a warm-up process, right? But actually, Chigong is going deeper than just warm-up. Okay? So in
202
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:42,000
general speaking, a completed system of Chigong, obviously, three components, yeah. One is the
203
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:49,840
cosmology, cosmology, like what is energy, how to work with energy? No, actually, beyond how to
204
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:59,360
work with energy is merely perception of life. What is creation, what is transformation,
205
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:07,440
how life works in general, the cosmology, based on energy perception, yeah. The second is how to
206
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:14,080
work with energy for benefit of health, benefit of healing, transformation, but benefit of life in general.
207
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:21,760
More than just for healing, yeah. So, including like you, we call the paranormal capacity, for example,
208
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:30,320
yeah. We can talk about that as well. So, but you can go further is the method, the method,
209
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:39,360
usually incorporating sweet aspect. One is movement, yeah. One is breathing technique, right? Another is
210
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:48,400
sound technique, but overall is all meditation, right? Active meditation to work with energy, to
211
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:55,280
really accessing the energy beyond, you know, our normally thinking, okay, food as energy,
212
00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:02,240
sun as energy, you go to the forest, you feel nourished by energy of Mother Nature, yeah. And that's
213
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:08,480
beautiful, right? You're taking, you know, supplement as energy, but there's another realm of energy
214
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:15,760
which is invisible, and you can tap into that energy by doing these practice. So, that's
215
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:22,640
is what Chikong is in general speaking. So, much more than Tai Chi as we know. So, I have a question
216
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:28,480
about something that you mentioned that the people were healing much more quickly than traditional
217
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,720
Chinese medicine, like how quickly are we talking? Like how long would it take someone to start
218
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:40,640
this process than to feel relief? Right, right. Good question. So, let me make a clear
219
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:49,040
chuk statement here. It's really depends on how you're engaging, how you're engaging.
220
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:56,240
Individually is different, okay? You know, when you're working with energy, you're working with yourself,
221
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:03,280
working with your own body, working with your own mind, particularly the most important part is
222
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:10,400
how you're connecting your mind with your own body to discover the energy, how you're doing it
223
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:18,960
consistently, yeah. And so, that's all, you know, individually different, but the point is, in this case,
224
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:27,440
in the medicine Chikong hospital, the program lasts one month at a time. So, it's really intense.
225
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:34,720
Really deep. So, you practice day and night, you know, eight hours, ten hours a day. Wow.
226
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:41,360
So, that's right. That's where the miracle happens. That's where the magic happens.
227
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,520
Was there any specific type of diet that you have to follow? No.
228
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:52,800
As well. No restriction. Absolutely no other wishing on medicine. I was supplemented by anything like that.
229
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:58,560
So, I know Chikong and Tai Chi, when I was doing it, it was meant to help the energies move through
230
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:05,280
your body. You become more embodied to it. So, you feel the flow and it clears out a lot of blockages
231
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:10,960
that you might have in your Chi that I would assume is the reason why it would help folks.
232
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,680
When you do it for that long, eight to ten hours a day, then we talk about manifestation and we talk
233
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:21,120
about meditations and could it have a lot to do with the fact that you are doing this practice,
234
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:25,920
you're allowing the energy to flow, which allows you to tap into those powers for lack of a better
235
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:34,320
term, easier, more concentrated to make things happen like that. So, here's the one way of understanding
236
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:43,680
I think is the most simple way. So, the sweet aspect, when you're perceiving everything is energy.
237
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:50,000
For example, this moment, I close my eye, I start to feel my body differently. Then like, okay,
238
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:57,120
you know, look at the screen. I love you guys. I love you, right? All right. But when I close my eyes,
239
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:05,680
I start to internally feel my body, but beyond our own normal perception of the body as object,
240
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:13,600
yeah, as vehicle, as a machine, even as a biological function, even as a problem to solve.
241
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:20,720
It starts to feel very different. This presence of my body, both visible and invisible,
242
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:31,360
and is so internal, is so undeniable. So, it's so much beyond the story, beyond the diagnosis,
243
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:42,000
beyond our thinking. And that feeling is a foundation, is a foundation, okay? So, it's not about
244
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:50,800
problem solving. It's like, you come back to yourself, 100%. Yeah, not just part of you, not just
245
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:58,240
argumentation, not just identification, not just believing the story of inculable. For example,
246
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:07,360
I didn't discuss this until later, until I recover from my own inculable condition. And realizing,
247
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:14,000
many years later, in the process of teaching my students, realizing that identification of inculable
248
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:23,200
is come from a person diagnosed with you, of course, from conventional medical system point of view,
249
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:30,800
what they're saying is from, well, they know I cannot cure you. I cannot help you. That makes sense?
250
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,400
It does. It does. They know all the treatment, they know I cannot fix you.
251
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:42,480
Right. So, here's a conclusion. That doesn't mean the problem is so cannot be solved. That means,
252
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:50,160
doesn't not mean the yearning itself is inculable. I love that. Yeah. So, it's not it's incurable,
253
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:58,960
is that that person can cure it. Exactly. But mostly, we take this as a day sentence, as a choose,
254
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:09,680
as the only choose. Yeah. Wow. And that was so enlightening for me, you know. Wow. We're ready to take
255
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:15,040
the power back, right? So, just get the choose inside of us. So, come back to the original question.
256
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:27,680
How does work? Okay. So, first of all, is this recognition, is this recognition that this body is
257
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:37,120
beyond object, beyond a machine, beyond even biological function. This body is energy system.
258
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:45,920
It's energy. It can hardly define energy one way or another. So, one way is you continue to discover
259
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:56,240
what is energy by go deeper into the body, discover all this physical layer, this emotional layer,
260
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:03,840
this mental spiritual layer of myself, this visible energy, invisible energy, this physical energy
261
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:12,480
non-physical existence. And there's boundary of the physical body, but it's undefined. There's no
262
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:19,600
boundary of energy connection with the Mother Earth, being Jesus, with Heaven above us, with infinite
263
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:28,400
visible, invisible life around us. So, now the quantum physics knows, prove the ancient wisdom,
264
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:36,320
validating the same knowing, yeah, in the whole universe, it's only 4% is physical, measurable.
265
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:48,400
The rest is not just empty space. The 96% even more is energy, is G. The science called
266
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,600
antimatter, called stream, whatever words might be, right? In the quantum physics language,
267
00:21:53,600 --> 00:22:02,080
but pointing to the same choose, yeah, and yet you can access that energy. So, not just like believe
268
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:08,480
all the energy existence, or not, so be it, but it's like when you discover the energy exist,
269
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:13,760
you can access that energy, you can cultivate this energy because you are that energy.
270
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:22,160
Then, when you're working with energy, but that's the number one importance, is that perception.
271
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:28,400
We all know, experience is determined by our perception. Is that right?
272
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:33,680
For sure, yeah. We all expect on that, right? Right?
273
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:44,160
But our perception has been so limited, based on misconception, based on mistake,
274
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:51,520
based on, you know, not knowing value. So, by doing this practice, you discover
275
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:58,480
the deeper choose of energy, deeper connection of energy, deeper power of energy. But when you
276
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:07,040
work with energy, like, few saying you recognize right away, oh, energy is infinite. There's just
277
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:13,600
absolutely no limitation to it, which is what we all are. Yes, Sam. Right. And energy has no boundary.
278
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:19,680
In this moment, when we see each other as just physically defying, visually defying,
279
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:26,800
you know, body, then we experience separation. That's the truth. On one hand,
280
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:32,000
on the other hand, when it's tapping into the invisible energy, oh, between you, me,
281
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:37,280
no matter how many hundreds, miles, thousands, miles away, it's not just empty space.
282
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:43,200
Is this energy field of Mother Earth, in comes in all life?
283
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:50,400
So if I'm connected with that energy field, then we are connected so the energy field. That makes
284
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:57,440
sense? Yes. And I'm loving what you're saying. Right? But it's not a concept. It's the experience you
285
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:02,960
have to discover for yourself. We've had a lot of conversations, a lot of different people talking
286
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:08,400
about energy and people that are healers. And one of the things we've heard that just popped into my
287
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,880
head was we hear about the chord cutting. And we hear about when you're with someone and you can
288
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,760
get this negative energy. What are your thoughts on that? Is there negative energy or is it just
289
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:24,960
energy or in perfect timing? Ask that question. I was going to tap into to share.
290
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:34,720
So, okay. So we, that's clear. Okay. When you're tapping to infinite energy, energy is connecting
291
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:41,280
all life, nothing is separate. Yeah. Energy existing outside of you as well existing in your body.
292
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:48,240
Yeah. So there's a question of what kind of energy, negative, positive, good, bad, right,
293
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:56,480
wrong. And that's how we usually work with energy, our perception. Yeah. So here is the secret,
294
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:06,640
radical approach. What if you let it go of these labor, good, bad, right, wrong, negative,
295
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:16,080
positive? There's only two patterns of energy. Two patterns. One pattern is energy is open,
296
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:22,800
flowing, permeating, nourishing, connecting. Yeah.
297
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:34,640
Another pattern is the same energy for whatever reason, contracted, yeah, suppressed, disconnected,
298
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:48,400
isolated, normed. So bottom line is stressed, stressed. Simple. So when the energy is contracted,
299
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:55,280
stressed, then that energy, the function, physical, emotional, mental, whatever, you know,
300
00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:05,280
is its own function is compromised. Yes. Naturally compromised, limited. Yeah. When the same energy,
301
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:13,120
weakening, opening, yeah, connecting, flowing again, you know, I have to, I couldn't help to open my
302
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:24,560
arm, you know, you're just all functioning coming back. You feel good. So it's not based on what's
303
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:31,200
wrong with me, how good, how it is, you know, negative, positive. So when you're working with energy,
304
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:38,880
this new paradigm, all this only two patterns, contracted pattern or functions limited,
305
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,440
then I can open in this pattern, then all the function coming back.
306
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:51,840
See? But chronically, we are all in contracted pattern.
307
00:26:51,840 --> 00:27:00,480
That's the problem. So where's it come from? From stress of life.
308
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,960
Yes, we all know, you know, more than I don't know the number, like 80%, 90% of
309
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:13,840
cause of main cause of specially cornico condition is from stress.
310
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:22,320
Even a curial condition, if something curial happens, even accident happens, you thinking that
311
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:28,560
accident causing that injury problems. But deep down, if we go further, it's causing from stress.
312
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:35,120
Because without stress, most likely you will not have this accident. Think about that.
313
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:40,480
Right? So then this, this chigong help you to
314
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:48,960
uncontract this energy? Yeah, that's exactly what does. Yeah, simple. The simplicity is go into the
315
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:54,960
body, noticing where you're feeling the stress, where you're feeling the tension, where you're feeling
316
00:27:54,960 --> 00:28:01,040
the contraction, where you're feeling the pain. I think of the story, good, bad, right, wrong, you
317
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:10,640
know, what is the victim? Oh, my life was so bad, my parents abused me, you know, my job, whatever.
318
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:17,440
Yeah, that might be all true. But more you entangle with this story, more become the victim
319
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:26,800
of your past. Yes. So it's not about change your story is like you go deeply into your body,
320
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:34,560
feel that juice, but the juice is much deeper is like whatever you're feeling this moment is a
321
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:42,320
result of your whole history, my dear. I just want to sit with you every day. I just want to come
322
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:48,800
and listen to you and just sit, listen to you. So it sounds very similar to things like the
323
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,760
Western spiritual teachers are talking about, but in a different way, we talk about Eckhart Tolle,
324
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:59,120
who says the power of the present moment, right? So you're going in and feeling your body, feeling
325
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:04,560
your energy, you have to be very present. And you actually talk about presence being able to be
326
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:09,840
transmitted, not just taught. What does that actually mean? And can it happen over a podcast? Yeah.
327
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:20,480
You know, when you pay attention, you feel, you're feeling this transmission and you're feeling the
328
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:27,600
presence naturally. Yeah. But let me take one step further back a little bit, because when you
329
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:34,240
access in your own body and energetic, you discover, continue, discover layers of layers of yourself.
330
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:42,400
Yeah. And with the intention, yeah, with this recognition, yeah, you are whole, you're complete.
331
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:51,520
No matter what is your story, no matter what is your diagnosis, yeah. As human being, you are complete.
332
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:59,360
So when you recognize in that, you start to release the struggle, release the stress,
333
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:05,440
release the striving, releasing the performance, releasing all the busy, busy mind, yeah,
334
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:11,520
continuously, yeah. This is fragmenting the energy system of yourself.
335
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:18,320
So, but further deeper, obviously, you're not just sitting there, saying, oh, I'm whole, I'm whole,
336
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:24,320
I'm believing, I'm whole, I'm well, yeah. It's like you actively engage with your own body,
337
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:31,760
your own energy system, doing these movements, yeah. For a gentle, gentle movement to release the stress,
338
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:39,920
releasing the tension, releasing the progress, yeah, to undo all the stress for conditioning from life,
339
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:50,160
basically. But from a loving place, from most deeper connection with yourself.
340
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,880
So because this body is you, here's a deeper choice, I'm going to shock you.
341
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:01,120
A little bit. Bring it on. I know you're ready for everything.
342
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:08,560
It's not like actually I'm going to invite all the listeners to join music experience, yeah,
343
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:15,760
placing their hands on top of a chest. Just say these words after me without analyzing it.
344
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:28,720
Without this body, I do not exist as a human being. Without this body, I do not exist as a human being
345
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:39,920
and feel the truth. Feel the presence of your own body, feel the presence of your own existence
346
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,720
beyond any story, any assumption, any concept.
347
00:31:46,720 --> 00:32:00,320
And the second choice, without this body, I cannot experience life as a human being.
348
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:10,160
Without this body, I cannot experience life as a human being and feeling that truth.
349
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:15,120
[Music]
350
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:24,000
Honoring all the experience of life as human being, your entire history,
351
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:33,760
the gift of life, the experience of life, the up and down, including the experience, the
352
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:46,160
moment, whatever is true for you. The third choice, without this body, my soul cannot evolve in the
353
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:57,680
lifetime without this body, my soul cannot evolve in the lifetime. And feel this truth,
354
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:11,440
beyond any concept, any analysis, any assumption, or any expectation,
355
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:21,520
simply feel the wholeness of your presence, your energy presence,
356
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:29,520
incompsing all the dimensions of your self, physical, emotional, mental, spiritual,
357
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:40,000
incompsing, every aspect of yourself, the known, unknown, the personal, the collective.
358
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:47,360
[Music]
359
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:55,920
What a beautiful silence. Thank you, thank you for joining me in this recognition.
360
00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:08,080
It's a deep feeling, a rise when we recognize the deeper choose come back to presence. It's not a concept.
361
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:19,440
It's not just presence of what's wrong to you, even identify the moment of now, so on. It's really here.
362
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:28,640
So when you're connecting here with this body, you're naturally present.
363
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:37,120
You're naturally here. You're naturally moving towards completion of your own.
364
00:34:38,720 --> 00:34:41,440
Your existence.
365
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:54,160
So again, the main piece I want to share with you, with the world is literally
366
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:59,520
we're being bypassing this body, we're being missing this body.
367
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:10,320
So when we're recognizing, we're not just consciousness. This body is physicalized, the expression of consciousness.
368
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:17,920
Consciousness, we speak enough. Can I exist just as a ghost as human beings?
369
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:26,720
Well, you bring up a great point because your book has to do with embodied awakening in the age of AI.
370
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:32,800
Right? AI isn't disembodied. Totally.
371
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:41,760
So we are offloading more and more of our thinking to AI. So what does that do to us in this case?
372
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:52,800
It's so powerful, such a critical time, you know, on one hand, we never experience anything like
373
00:35:52,800 --> 00:36:00,720
this inhuman history, this AI phenomena, phenomena. On one hand, it's just
374
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:08,240
extraordinarily powerful tool. On other hand, can quickly leading us to total destruction, total
375
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:16,240
distinguishing of humanity. As you point out, simply, leading us towards more and more
376
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:25,200
disconnection, farmed this embodied element. So just give us, you know, a little bit of context is like this.
377
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:32,320
I don't know, of course, the complexity of history, but one thing happened is like in the West,
378
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:41,120
but now also in the East as well, this idea from the core. I think therefore I am,
379
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:53,280
we totally identify with thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking, mind, mind, mind, that's the identification.
380
00:36:53,280 --> 00:37:01,280
That's how we love life. As if we were just like walking stick of thinking.
381
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:09,840
Because over emphasising the thinking, yeah, continue living above the shoulder, above the neck,
382
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:16,160
living the story in a mental constructed reality, performance, everything, whole education,
383
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:27,680
even transformation of feel is all about mindset, about thinking, is about mind-controlling
384
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:35,840
everything else. That's the phenomena, right? Because of that, we're creating a super power
385
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:48,560
to illustrate that, this AI come from that. Yeah. So create a super machine based on thinking.
386
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:57,040
Now is the passing of own thinking. Think about that. Inevitable,
387
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:03,680
yeah, inevitable. Because we're being folk song, thinking, thinking only, performance performs only.
388
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:09,760
Right? So create a super power demonstrating how powerful thinking can be now, right?
389
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:20,240
But with that, the price is so painful, so, yeah, extraordinarily aligning,
390
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:28,480
yeah, this disconnection from this body. So, ironically, you know, asking the AI the question,
391
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:36,640
can you experience life? Can you experience life? That's so simple.
392
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:45,280
The AI said, you know, didn't say, AI, you know, he said, AI can assimilate all your experience,
393
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:52,480
describing all your experience in beautiful poetry, beautiful images, beautiful song,
394
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:57,520
beautiful music and so on, but cannot directly experience life.
395
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:07,600
Cannot feel as you feel. Then I realized, why? Only because I have this body as human being.
396
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:13,760
Then I realized, my whole experience exists only because I have this body.
397
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:21,600
Not because I have a mind. That was the mistake we'd be making. Right?
398
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:32,800
Think about that. Yeah. That's the differentiation between me and this AI machine, no matter how powerful
399
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:40,320
this machine can think. So the question is not about, can this AI have consciousness or not?
400
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:46,640
The question is more, what is the difference between AI and me as human being? That's the time
401
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:56,400
to recognize that. So when we feel overwhelmed, feel lost, feel even just empowered by the AI,
402
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:04,480
or manipulate it even nowadays, by the AI. That's the time reminding us, if we don't make the choice
403
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:15,680
coming back to this body, we can lose to humanity, embodied consciousness, embodied experience,
404
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:25,520
embodied love, pain, loss, sadness, all that human experience.
405
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:33,680
So we often think of these imperfections of humanity. So we want to perfect it to the point of
406
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:42,160
not feeling anything anymore, become thinking machine. And that's happening now. It's not like
407
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:51,760
next generation. So when I realize that, it's so super clear, we're facing the choice, but my choice
408
00:40:51,760 --> 00:41:00,640
is like, no, I don't want to be that machine. No matter how powerful this machine can think, can
409
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:13,040
perform. I want to be human. So that's, it's reclaiming, reclaiming my own body, my own power
410
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:20,880
as human being. It's not perfection. It's not performance, but too powerful experiencing life.
411
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:26,320
Then I realize that my whole life exists to experience what it is.
412
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:34,560
Let me make sense. It's completely, absolutely. Not trying to, you know, perform, to prove
413
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:43,440
how many of us continuously struggling in this loop of performing, approving, you know,
414
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:49,840
something, improving, something, fixing, something. Do you think we come all the way here to be human?
415
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:55,840
Just to perform. We don't have to come here.
416
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:05,440
To experience love, experience joy as well, experiencing pain, without pain, there's no joy,
417
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,320
without hate, there's no love.
418
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:15,120
When we experience the whole spectrum, pain, to pressure,
419
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:23,280
yeah, limitation, to liberation, hate to love, that's the fulfillment as human being.
420
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,480
Yes, I could sit here and listen to you all day long. All day every day.
421
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,920
I have six pages of questions and I'm not interested in a single one.
422
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,680
So don't talk, just listen.
423
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,440
I don't want to interrupt you. I don't want to interrupt you. I don't want to interrupt you.
424
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,200
I thought I don't want to interrupt anything that you're saying.
425
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:47,520
I love so much what you're saying about our bodies because especially as women,
426
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:52,000
we're always taught that our bodies aren't good enough. I have two fat, two tall, two thin,
427
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,680
two this, two that. So you're constantly looking at yourself and it's not good enough.
428
00:42:55,680 --> 00:43:00,880
And it's only recently due to a health issue that I really started to look at my body and think,
429
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:06,160
it's wonderful. It has done so much for me. It's let me have these experiences.
430
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:11,120
And it's changed me. It really has. So thank you for saying that.
431
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:19,280
Oh, Karen, it's like so or later, we're going to discover, oh my god, this body is more than what I think.
432
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:29,920
So one of the most powerful excites to ask my students to do is like writing a love letter to your own body.
433
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:39,120
But really honest, truthful, authentic love letter, not like teen easier kind of love letter,
434
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,840
not like beautiful, my past kind of love letter.
435
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:48,480
But you in timber, authentic, yeah.
436
00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:58,400
Not just one. Yeah. When you keep doing it, suddenly, wow, wow,
437
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:09,440
deep discovery, deep self-discovery, deep compassion for yourself, for life.
438
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:19,120
It's like, we're all seeking for the right thing. Everybody's seeking for the same thing, basically.
439
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:27,840
When we lack of health, we're seeking for health, right? And mostly all seeking for love, of course,
440
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:36,000
seeking for joy, of course, but ultimately seeking for peace, yes. And seeking for connection,
441
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:41,120
seeking for fulfillment in the meaning of life, fulfillment of life.
442
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:50,240
Yeah. And yet, even we're all seeking for the right thing, universal thing, but we're seeking in the wrong place.
443
00:44:50,240 --> 00:45:06,400
Outside of us, yeah, with something else, with someone else, yeah. With whatever achievement, success, performance, validation, yeah, power, whatever it might be.
444
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:16,160
But then often, we feel the choosiest, none of that is sustainable. None of that is truly fulfilling.
445
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:27,200
So, the choosiest, the secret is very simple. Everything you're looking for is already inside view, not as a concept.
446
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:33,840
You know, sometimes we spiritually speaking about this concept, you know, inside view. But what that means inside view,
447
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:42,800
what I'm saying is inside your body, my dear, it's tangible. The energy existing inside your own body,
448
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:52,800
in your brain, in your heart, in your bone, in your blood, in yourself. And that energy, when the energy, as I said, you know,
449
00:45:52,800 --> 00:46:03,120
is moving, opening, flowing, you feel the vitality, you feel health. Yeah. All conditions start to improve.
450
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:07,440
Doesn't matter what's your old history or diagnosis, maybe. Start to improve.
451
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:16,880
When your energy of your heart, opening, the same visible energy of the heart is more than just, you know, what is pumping inside of your chest.
452
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,560
It's just feel, you know, now can be measured.
453
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:30,560
You know, most of us, familiar with the amazing work of heart mass, yeah. And measuring the energy, basically the energy,
454
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:38,480
feel the heart is not only measurable, you know, seven, eight feet from your body, but measurable even beyond the room.
455
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:46,640
But even more subtle, you measure, then the bigger the energy, feel is.
456
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:58,480
So it's like if you measure the tangible energy, the intensity, so on, you know, then the energy is become weaker, weaker,
457
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:05,360
more distance, yeah, further distance, right? But if you measure the subtle energy,
458
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:14,560
to the level beyond equipment can measure, then the field is much open.
459
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:21,360
Yeah. So more sensitive people are like, okay, even even when I sense too
460
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:31,360
enough, still when people come to close to you, even behind you, without you seeing them, it like within three, four feet, you feel them.
461
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:39,200
Yeah, without touching it, without seeing them. But sensitive people, you can sense like what's much further, yeah.
462
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:48,400
Many years, you know, away, yeah. But when you pay attention, when you quietly your mind, oh, suddenly you can hear the birds,
463
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:56,880
when your mind is busy, you cannot hear the birds. They're there. We're totally in ignorance, right?
464
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:08,480
Yeah. In disconnection. It's like this recognition, this recognition, you know, who we are, is just so amazing.
465
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:15,440
So what I'm saying is, our relationship or own body,
466
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:24,880
is that it's like the ultimate relationship, yeah. So what I was saying, when the energy awakening opening in your body,
467
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:32,480
your health naturally improves, when the energy of your heart open, your naturally expands more joy and love.
468
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:42,160
That doesn't mean absence of hurts, absence of food, you know, this disconnection, I mean, discomfort, yeah.
469
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:49,360
When the energy awakening opening, like your brain energy connecting with your kidney energy system,
470
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:54,000
then this energy, we in a yoga tradition called Kundukonglinian energy,
471
00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:01,120
but in Chikong, we call it "ching energy." And that's one of the most powerful energy, creative energy.
472
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:10,320
When that energy contracted, we experienced in fear, anxiety, like frozen, then fight flight, right?
473
00:49:10,720 --> 00:49:16,960
Yeah. But when the same energy, unfrozen, same energy, yeah, waking up, flowing again,
474
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:21,280
that energy naturally arising around the governor channel, in around the spine,
475
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:28,000
yeah, nourishing the heart in the chest level. You go further up, nourishing the brain, yeah.
476
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,600
Awakening your mental capacity into another level.
477
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:38,400
Some more creativity, more clarity, more spiritual connections start naturally happen.
478
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:47,760
So in a place like ours where I've been looking for Tai Chi, Chikong classes, since I've lived here,
479
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:53,440
and I can find them nowhere, is someone wanted to learn how to practice Chikong?
480
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:57,520
How can someone do that in a place that doesn't currently offer it?
481
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:03,680
That's another powerful paradox, the gift of taking the hours in.
482
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:09,760
It exists right now here, right? Because of that, yeah? That.
483
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:17,440
So we're living in another era, it's like, wow, I'm able to teach Chikong class,
484
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:23,040
weekly, connecting with people from all around the world globally,
485
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:29,440
even allow us to feel this energy connection, infinite, inseparable bonus.
486
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:37,920
We used to have to come in person, in the old days, you have to travel a long distance to find a
487
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:43,440
group, find a teacher. Now, in your living room, in your bedroom, in your kitchen,
488
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:50,800
you can just one click, we're at the end. But we probably prefer you not join from your bathroom,
489
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,160
but anywhere else, you know.
490
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:02,080
It's interesting because you mentioned, you mentioned that in the hospital, the model wasn't just
491
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:09,120
individual healing. It was what you call the "dechi" field, right? That you brought together groups
492
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:14,960
of people for healing, and there's a belief that Chi becomes available for group healing,
493
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,720
even stronger than when you do it on your own. How does that work?
494
00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:25,840
Yeah, exponentially stronger, the mess for mathematics, the mathematics for
495
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:31,520
energy is very different than for physical object. When you look at the physical object,
496
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:36,320
it's like one plus one equal to two, right? You know, in all days, you know, young,
497
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:42,160
willing to use mathematics, like using stick, whatever, one plus one, they're okay with two, right?
498
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:48,800
It's obvious, right? When you walk in with energy, it's all about connection, activation.
499
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:55,280
So imagine, ELA, your energy system is pulsating, changing, depends on
500
00:51:55,280 --> 00:52:01,040
your mental, emotional, state as well, physically, how you're engaging, you know, with your body,
501
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:08,480
with life in general. So when you're coming together as a community, we are making the connection,
502
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:15,120
between let's say you and me, when we're making the connection, when we talk, even this moment,
503
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:21,120
our energy bodies start to expand. Much more than me, only, I'm stuck.
504
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:22,480
Yeah.
505
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:33,040
So then this interaction, yeah, creating another energy field, another invisible energy field,
506
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:40,480
which is more than one plus one equal to two. So is one plus one become sweet, basically.
507
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:46,960
Then imagine you're putting 100 people together. Yeah. Yeah. This multiple,
508
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:52,720
beyond this multiple become exponential. So you can imagine a thousand people together.
509
00:52:53,280 --> 00:53:04,080
Yeah. So when science we did kind of a measurement is just very sophisticated biotechnology measuring
510
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:12,080
the energy of the loom, which is actually by from Russia. Russia has like most sophisticated
511
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:17,840
energetic technology. Yeah. And Chigong, I think, is have most sophisticated, you know,
512
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:25,280
energy practice, that's a different farm energy measurement. So we had an expert came to
513
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:32,800
all the tree in all these three centers here last October measuring the energy of the loom day and
514
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:39,760
night, 24/7 every second. So not like measure one moment, the continued cumulative data is like
515
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:47,920
tons of tons of data accumulate over 30 days. So the result is astonishing. It's like this.
516
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:55,440
The energy of the loom in week, you know, whatever in the beginning, then become like this.
517
00:53:55,440 --> 00:54:03,680
Then continue grown, continue grown, continue grown, reaching to the top, very top in the last week of
518
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:13,600
the 30 days. Then another phenomena is the energy expansion. Yeah. The field of energy I'm talking about
519
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:20,080
when we're connecting or energy field expand. Yeah. So actually in the same way collective in the loom,
520
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:29,040
the energy is called the forgot the terminology, the space of energy, the spatial distance,
521
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:38,640
size of energy is expanding same pattern, similar pattern, the intensity, same pattern become more
522
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:47,600
intense, more intense. But another phenomena is more extraordinarily is called the entropy, entropy of
523
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:54,960
energy. The entropy. Yeah. Entropy is like the lower the number, the negative, the number indicating
524
00:54:54,960 --> 00:55:03,840
cohealance residency. But entropy is usually always unstable. It's like when you're creating cohealancy,
525
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:11,440
the entropy goes down and that's me indicating more cohealancy. But then when engaging radical,
526
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:17,440
you know, common activity again, then entropy disappears, right? Become more like whatever
527
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:24,240
normal pattern might be. But what happened in the retreat, not only the entropy cohealance happened
528
00:55:24,240 --> 00:55:32,320
more frequently, frequently over the time. But in the third week, the entropy decline, like the
529
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:43,280
stable declining, the remaining inactive. And that's, it's like unbelievable. I mean, the scientists
530
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:49,440
to basically hear, you know, he's like really walk with the government, measuring the energy field
531
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:55,360
of the environment, everything is like very sophisticated, you know, expert. He never seen anything
532
00:55:55,360 --> 00:56:03,120
like this. Wow. So that's what the chief field is about. Right. Yeah. That is a field I want to feel.
533
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:13,040
Yeah. But eventually when you stay in that chief field long enough, you start to carry the chief field.
534
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:21,360
Yeah. Your body carry that chief field. That in the sense of, you know, openness, resonance, harmony,
535
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:31,440
connection, right. And that's the foundation of life. Well, Mr. Goome, unfortunately, we're out of time.
536
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:38,640
I want to talk about this for hours. Absolutely. Yeah. Your book is coming home to embody the
537
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:46,240
awakening in the age of AI. These concepts, I assume, are all in that book and then a lot more. Yeah.
538
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:54,880
We can go so much deeper in the book. And when phenomena is found a leader, it was kind of unusual.
539
00:56:54,880 --> 00:57:01,600
You know, I didn't know what to expect because I just had felt I have to write this book. Otherwise,
540
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:08,960
I cannot sleep. And but then the book came out, people are reading it. They start to feel the energetic
541
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:14,960
opening in their body. The embody experience that happened, sort of feel the transmission beyond
542
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:21,600
just the intellectual understanding of the words. And that is powerful surprise for me.
543
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:29,280
So I'm so ready to share this with anyone who ever is ready. By the way, you know, this kind of
544
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:34,080
practice we're doing, even the message I'm sharing is not just for the people who are sick.
545
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:41,120
That's for everybody. Yeah. Everybody. We are living so much about here. Yeah. The connection with
546
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:47,920
their own bodies, the most powerful practice we can do for human being to improve not just health,
547
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:53,040
but improving the functioning, the quality of life, improving humanity basically.
548
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:58,160
Actually, to the point of reclaiming your humanity. I love it. I love it. Beyond anything you could
549
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:03,920
possibly imagine. Where can I go to sign up for your glasses? Where is someone watching or listening?
550
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:08,800
Where can they go to connect with you? I'm proud to go to my website, Mintong Cool.
551
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:15,200
2G, mintong Cool.com. We're going to add a direct link in our show notes. So if you don't,
552
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,720
if you don't have a pen and a particular point time, why don't you do go to skepticmanevisition.com
553
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:23,920
go to master goons episode. You'll see the link directly laid in the show notes. It's easy for you to
554
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:28,880
connect master. I can tell you you've at least sold one book out of this because I'm going to buy it.
555
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:33,360
Yes. And I'm definitely going to connect with you because I think I truly have been looking for
556
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:38,640
a chagoon practice for a long time. I think this is pre timing is perfect. So thank you so much
557
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:45,120
for being on the show. Yeah, I'm delighted. Thanks so much for this conversation, this opportunity,
558
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:57,600
and this space energy space we created. Yeah. Thank you so much for your wisdom.
