I don't understand Chinese well enough to understand Master Gao's explanation. What does HE say he is doing and what reasons does HE give for why it works? Is he able to obtain the same reaction from people who are not his students? Is he able to teach other people the same skill (i.e. can other people who have studied with him elicit the same reactions in others who are not their students)? Is it useful on people who have trained not to react to/add to his input?
Recently we hosted a friend of mine who has directly trained with master Gao,
for a small seminar, he's also trained with my teacher in Beijing. Many of the concepts used are very similar
if not the same.
He did pretty much the same things and had those there also doing it within a short time...
Its a "demo" used to illustrate different ideas...
If you look through some of the posting I did say some of what he said "if its done to fast it won't work, if its done to slow it won't work"
This is when he was showing different conditions by hitting the balloon differently in which it would or would not work....
The "dummy" wow I would expect a little better from you...Also I would have thought that for anyone that really cared they could always find some one to translate, if that was the issue.
The main point as you've outlined is that it's not within your "experience" as such it seems to contradict much of what you "know"
In reading the posts most kind of give hints as to whats going on but all seem to miss some basic points which I really dont feel like addressing
at this time, considering the tone of the thread...
Is it useful on people who have trained not to react to/add to his input?
how would you train not to react to something you can't feel in the first place ?
the point is that people do react they just dont understand why ?
