>Thats the question few scientist seem to press.<
That's a actually a question a lot of scientists are burning to answer and there is a significant amount of research on it. In fact, the whole human family tree has been redrawn so many times as new knowledge comes to light, what u learned in high school or college is completely obsolete.
Most of the research in trying to answer this focuses on Neanderthals, modern homo sapiens, Home erectus (which they now believe is NOT an H. sapiens ancestor), and the new finds of dwarf humans in SE Asia.
Its a compelling question that science is working hard to answer.
Of course, I'd like to see Michael's take on it and how his research into Atlantis will rewrite human evolution and civilization.
It’s easy to demonstrate amazing things with your own disciples.
I saw a similar video about a guy who claimed to know Dim Mak, the legendary death touch. He would demonstrate on his students who passed out left and right and were revived by another touch that restored them.
Funny thing is, when the guy demonstrated on the film crew and reporter, they were all strangely insensitive to it.
Go figure.
Thanks for that article, Michael. It supports what I’ve been telling my English students here in China about the differences in the two languages, things I’ve discovered the hard way by teaching and learning the past 5 years or so.
When Chinese people see an English word, the literally “see” it. all the meaning is in the spelling. When English speakers (and other phonetic alphabet users) see a word, they “hear” it. Chinese people write English based on if it looks right, native speakers write English based on how it sounds.
Thus on a forum like this i can write: “c u l8r. I gotta split”. My chinese students typically have to learn c, u, later, and gotta as new words rather than interpreting them intuitively based on sound. Once this secret is revealed they learn and improve much faster.
Likewise, in Chinese, the number of sound combinations is very limited. You can’t make up words like Dr. Seuss does. So when someone writes me a note in pinyin (phonetic spelling of chinese) it’s hard for me to know the exact meaning without seeing the character the sounds refer to. Even Chinese people experience some difficulty with the use of pinyin because “xin” or “hao” can refer to soooo many different characters.
Very interesting to see science documenting this. and a good boost for my ego too 😛
I’ve never come across any teaching or doctrine about that at HT. Winn really likes to cut out the BS.
The question is not “when do i practice the inner-smile?” the question is “When do I NOT practice the inner smile?”
Nice video. thanks. i’ve used that piece before too.
getting a tad off topic, i’d like to recommend in general, not just for practice, the video set von Karajan did of the Beethoven cycle between about 1967-72. The opeing chord fo the Sym. No. 1 alone is worth the purchase price. But his “chaos” at the opening of the 9th is truly incredible not to mention the moving and astonishing subtleties in his interpretation throughout. There’s one thing he does just before the finale of the “ode to joy” that is unmistakably a mortal stumbling at the threshold of Heaven. He did not repeat it in his 1977 recording, so I guess he made it.
Not just ineffable performances. the camera direction, far-out set design, and richer than life 60s color make it feel like you’re watching “The Avengers” or “Hawaii Five-0”.
Yeah, try bringin’ a little Emma Peel into your cauldron, baby. That’ll get things real steamy! 😉

Unless they work for Air France…..
Or tear down the highways like a madman laughing maniacally. the cops’ll all be looking for the southbound crazies.
cool. i sometimes get a big puslating pink egg all around me and sometimes this spreads into “other selves”. its cool
I’ll chime in. I never found the points to be very useful: they complicate things mentally. I just focus on the orbit in kind of a receptive way and let the qi speak for itself.
Interesting.
And on this note is a collection of videos on youtube pertinent to many of the threads on this list. They’re from a TV show on Showtime called “Bullshit” by Penn and Teller. Hysterical stuff, and much of it is very surprising!
Most of the shows are uploaded in three parts so you have to download 1/3, 2/3, and 3/3 to get the complete episodes. I’ve had hours of enjoyment with these the past several days.
