I don't know JAJ's level of skill, he was one of the few people practicing Bagua many years ago and apparently had a good reputation, the later bs which seems to overtake people when they are marketing is prevalent in every pursuit which does not have quantifiable attributes [even presidential elections], it is incumbent on IMA teachers to pass on their knowledge so future generations of practitioners can distinguish the real from the imaginary
I was thinking about this. There is a master I know who got involved with all the mystical stuff.
There's a couple things to remember.

There was a 2 part video set done by Youlihan out of Wudang about the seven levels of consciousness that
I found very interesting. It deals with seven levels and seven sub levels. Unfortunately he most likely
took on a lot of crap for posting them video's, so he removed them. I Believe that info was coming from deeper chambers
of Wudang that visitors don't ever get to hear about. Even if the stuff was way out there, at least we got to hear the material.
