Question for Michael Winn

-does someone have to practice the firmulas more than once to gain immortality in relation to the different levels or does a one time practice of a specific formula all that is required to make one an immortal of that level ?

transitions are gradual and require extended practice to fully embody.

Two more things, inseead of fusing the body spirit chi together in the pakua in the fusion practice, can someone simply imagine all the energy from all parts of the body gathering and being concentrated in one point?

if you have sufficient concentration, you can “assemble” your consciousness at any point. baguas are simply a tool to support that process. they help you to shape the life force.

second, in that empty vessel interview you said that the body spirits are immortal already, so if they are and they collectively constitute a human being, why do we need to fuse them to become an immortal?

they are individually immortal, i.e. consciousness does not die. But they will scatter at death unless they find a way to integrate during life. So immortality is just a measure of self-integration that survives death.

Good you are still seeking answers. But focus on qigong and neigong movement forms to keep yourself whole-body/mind centered.

peace,
michael
