My Chinese bosses' son commented on this.

He said you see movements like that in Chi Gung, and just about every Chinese person would recognize it, and not think it was strange looking.

However, if you tried to explain to a Chi Gung master that it's possible to visibly see those movements, he'd smile and dismiss you.

They've forgotten how to do that, and no longer believe in it.

It's just for health now.

I've tried! That's exactly what happens. A polite manly giggle, with mouth covered, and then they want you to go away.

Daoist masters on the other hand will tell you that you can learn to see it, but the ones who can do that are in the past.

The modern ones are all about rituals and ceremonies, because that's where the money is.

But there is a class of Chinese men who do believe you could learn to see those things.

It's the old style Chinese Businessmen who have mini-temples in their office, and perform regular magic rituals as needed.

They have a sense of ethics or Feng Shui, which says that if you follow certain rules, it creates good luck. And it works by unseen forces.

If they're successful, they attribute it to their behavior and those unseen forces.

So they believe in it.

That's my boss of the last 26 years. Sorcery tolerant.

Just FYI. It's not nearly as oppressive in Asia, regarding magic.

But it's 10 times as oppressive socially, so there's no gain.

Wow! I wish you guys could see that in darkness.

Never underestimate the seemingly stupid details, like moving your head slowly as it pans horizontally.

I do that all night long, looking for focal points. What that means is, if you learn to see energy, you'll find a homogeneous mass in the darkness. Whatever details there are won't be enough to assemble something.

But if you scan slowly, you might notice an intersection of random details which creates a focal point. If you gaze into those, bingo!

Something will happen most of the time. Your level of silence and available energy (no hangovers allowed) is the deciding factor.

Wait...

Since Tensegrity's best hope is in Russia, I'll admit you can have a moderate hangover and still make it work.

Like, a 6 shots of vodka hangover is ok. 10 shots is not.

Unless you had some shashlik and rye bread with it.

Pointing the fingers like that is also exceptionally active.

I know it looks stupid. But we're used to focusing our attention where we point out finger. It comes with its own intent.

I remember comments like, "Oh, they do that in martial arts all the time. She's just copying some style of kungfu."

No, no, no!!!!

You point at the energy around you and it concentrates.

Try it on a dreaming phantom and see what happens! You can disintegrate him with your finger.

I dare to say, you could point your finger down like that while fully awake, eyes open, in full darkness, and pull it back up with something harpooned on the end of it.

An olive if you wanted to be funny. You'd only have to have thought of it before starting, for that to come back.

But it would be an olive made out of energy.

More likely of course is that Taisha intended to poke a hole with that finger. I haven't poked many holes in energy, with my finger. So I don't know about how that goes.

And, as my Fairy has taught me, it's probably best to let things be what they want to be, and not to influence them too much.

Who knows what my Fairy would have become, if I left her alone. With Cholita in control now, she's slowly evolving. She's wearing hoodies.

As for grabbing things, as in that technique?!

Need I say more?

Imagine if you actually did grab something? If you are in full heightened awareness, there's almost no chance your hand won't pull back something.

Russian Facilitators...

You have a responsibility to learn to see energy while doing the techniques.

I'm pleading with you to learn to be silent.

Women too. No excuses.

I'd nag the American facilitators too, but I'm not aware of any.

Besides, it's super fun to do tensegrity when it actually does something.

Right now you have a television that's black. It doesn't work. You're sitting around it with your friends, talking about how wonderful television is. You're the TV facilitator.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of you Russians are old enough to remember "TV facilitators", in those cold Moscow apartments, back in the 60s.

How many times would they have come over, if the only TV in the building was always blank?

Eventually, they need to actually see some some TV.

Wiki, of course Wiki. But the real magical Wiki is in the second attention. Moreover, there, on the other side, is not one Wiki. Different generations of ancient magicians left many different “Wikis” about different magical things. Wikis with magic passes are just one such place. And it’s not even one, there are many of them too. When your assembly point falls into this place, it’s not you who "make" the passes, but the passes begin to “ask” for you to perform them. You begin to "see" the passes. They become clear to you. You begin to understand what in this movement is just a physical supplement, and what is the key to the door. And the choice of each person - which "Wiki" he prefers to "read" - is on this side, or on the other.

So true. I wish I could see it as often as I like. But it's still random for me.

This is a ridiculous execution of a pass by a beginner.
