the west knows about chi, it's energy. you learn about it in physics and chemistry.

but the west is an outer science only, it does not accept any information that is gained through direct experience, only through indirect methods

the taoist science of life energy development is very real, but it's an inner science, weve already rejected it before we even experience it

as our sciences merge, and we find an inner/outer science, chi will become well understood and humanity will gain great benefit

What a crock of shit.

Alot of people

Alot of people, miss the meaning of it all!

Everything is there in it's simplicity

But we miss it ! ?

Why is that?

@metalbeast You misinterpretted everything I said. Talking about residual heat emanating from EXERCISES, coupled with proper breathing techniques. It's great for your health and thats it. Stop looking for a golden goose. You misinterpreted everthing I said, so I guess it's normal that you should be one to misinterpret an analogy. Work more on assimilating before you get to refining your cultivation(of chi or whatever).

@micsir888 lol, I love how you think having trained in China somehow gives your opinion validity. Guess what. I've trained in China too. And Taiwan. That doesn't make me an expert. Furthermore, most people who say they've trained in China have just done modern wushu crap, which is in no way traditional kung fu. As far as qi as a metaphor, what do you think of TCM? Is it some sort of voodoo, witchdoctor system in your mind? Are all the people helped by it just feeling the placebo effect?

[micsir888]

Chi IS a metaphor. If you believe in ghosts, you can also believe in chi I guess. I have trained with Chinese masters and as one of them once said to me, ' In china we only talk about someones Chi when they are old and sickly.'

@captainwillies69 what? that´s just the handjob move.

astemeric, a scientific theory is presented as a fact. It's not the type of theory commonly used in the English language, but that being said not all scientific theories are necessarily true and chi could very possibly be real

[astemeric]

It's impossible to judge or criticize anything without first hand experience.

If you can come to that conclusion without out any first hand knowledge of the subject, then either you're a genius or pretty arrogant.

Also, although qi can be stated as a theory, so can the majority of science. Most of science isn't even fact at this point, only theory. Hell, even electricity is a theory.

The only time you should be able to criticize is when you have personal evidence to back it up.
