I know a mystic chi gong master...

[Guest guest]

John,

I don't know about how mysticism and connects to enlightenment but I

know that it's always been a big interest for me, as is the subject of

energy manipulation. Coincidentally, I went and met with the Director

of the Taoist Institute of Los Angeles yesterday because I wanted to buy

a copy of his dissertation because it's on the same thing that I'm doing

my thesis on...this blew me away how in luck I was in...he just happened

to have *just* finished his dissertation in Dec. 1998--for his clinical

psychology program too, and I flipped through it and he includes a lot

about Kundalini yoga and chi gong--which is what I wanted to do!

 

Anyway, how this relates to your topic of mysticism is that he also

teaches Professional Remote Viewing--the ability to "see" information at

a distance...you know, like psychics. This guy is legit, Professor Carl

Totton has been studying Chinese martial arts for over 35 years, is a

grandmaster in kungfu, and is a licensed psychologist. He's

well-respected in the community. I'm excited to know him because

psychology is my field too. I think that people who want to practice

chi gong who are on the true path are mystics and healers. What do you

really want to do with all that stored up energy...become healthy

yourself, spiritually, physically, mentally, yes...but I think

eventually you will naturally come to want to help others.

 

Thank you, Colin, for that quote: The American spiritual teacher, Baba

Ram Dass, once asked his Indian teacher, Neem Karoli Baba, "What's the

best way to awaken Kundalini?" His teacher replied, "serve others."

 

I like that...it validates my reasons for wanting to learn this.

Carl Totton is also a Taoist Monk (Abbot, actually) -- he married my husband

and I. He is definitely "for real". Best of luck with you endeavors. You

have found a great teacher.
