Thank you to The Fully Alive Team and to our dear Sifu .
In Shaolin Wahnam we strive to live a morally upright life and this may be achieved by the application of chi kung skills in daily life guided by a moral code ( The 10 Shaolin Laws) : it is an intrinsic metamorphosis because of the innate nature of acquired chi kung skills that develop our morality from inside out and not because of an external authority preaching morals into the fibers of our sinews .
Some skilled chi kung practitioners ( even advanced ones ) deviate seriously ( eg become black magicians or betray the trust and destroy the life of innocent people ) because chi kung skills and moral laws alone may not be enough to prevent serious deviation.I have heard Sages taught that if we aspire to the higher end of the moral spectrum or spiritual cultivation , the guiding hand of a great Master ( ie systematic teaching , exemplary life , knowledge impartation , skills transmission , exuding inspiration , generosity and moral uprightness of the Sifu ) and Divine Grace are the other essential factors for success.
Now , some of the fundamental chi kung skills are : Relaxing , One-pointed mind , No-mind , Smile from the Heart , Generating energy flow , Self manifested chi flow , Massaging internal organs , Sending chi to body parts , Cosmic shower , Building pearl of energy at dantian , Developing mental clarity and internal force , Pulsating with cosmos , Merging with cosmos .
But some skills ( eg Cosmic shower or CS ) possibly have lesser positive impact on the moral fibre then other skills ( eg Merging with cosmos or MC ) .Fictional example : if an incognito narcissistic serial rapist aspiring to kick the serious bad habit joins Shaolin Wahnam , he or she may have a better chance to succeed with the help of MC then with CS , because the former skill brings the awesome experience of cosmic one-ness with all sentient beings ( one wouldn’t want to ravage one’s self , right ?) as opposed to the latter skill where increased energy may be focused at lower dantians leading to increased libido/carnal terrestrial desires ( hence a relapse of bad habit) .
We have heard of the saying “ Walk the Talk” : talking is generally easier then walking . Taking the talk further : some walks/deeds are easier done then others . For most of us , some of The 10 Shaolin Laws laws are relatively easier to walk in daily life then others : eg “Forbidden to rape ” is easier then “ Required to be wise “ or “Obliged to achieve everlasting peace “.Stated in another way : it is easier to deviate from some aspects of the Law then other aspects.
Question : To prevent serious deviation and additionally , to enable us to walk the more difficult aspects of The 10 Shaolin Laws , which ( if all things are equal ie moral laws, guiding master , grace ) fundamental chi kung skill or skills should we develop and deepen ?
