So, I was watching a video made by Sifu Mark Spence of The Chi Sau Club school in Australia. In it he explains that he is slowly getting the hang of what CST did. It is not permanent but it is slowly getting there. A very interesting thing that he mentions at the end of the video is that he does not “push” which pushes the opponent/ student. It feels rather that something is coming out.
I find it extraordinary that this lineage will focus on anything and everything but the term and concept of energy itself. They focus on mind, mind-force, joint movement and manipulation, tai-gong and seng which is moving the mind up the spine and other sorts of trivialities. However, they refuse to use the term energy because they:
1) do not have a clear concept of it and feel that it will mystifythe teachings or
2) think they have a better explanation even though all of these explanations fall quite short of the mark.
For this reason, I am very grateful that I have Pranic Healing because it teaches us the energy structure. At the very least, it opened my eyes to the notion that there is energy all around us and the manipulation depends on the degree of development and size of one’s aura, chakras and spiritual cord. In addition to this, there are people who are able to see energy – clairvoyants – normally. Heck, I am even in communicationwith a natural-born clairvoyant. So, in this sense, my mind has been relatively open as to the possibilities of the inner world/ energy world and the etheric, emotional and mental faculties within man.
From one perspective I understand that if you don’t have enough information or expertise on the topic of energy, you would not feel qualified to speak about it. But then you should go and get the information, no? These types of attitudes (and their corresponding) behaviors leave me absolutely baffled as the limitations accepted by CST practitioners. There is no reason or need to be so simple when you do have the tools (to learn such things) at your disposal.
Below is the video in question. It is not long, around 2 minutes or so but it gives valuable insight into the perspective of Western CST practitioners.
