Another message that Li Hongzhi and his familiars stick to is: "Read the books, do the exercises, read the books, do the exercises" saying that unless you do them you'll never understand them. They are hoping that sheer repetition will hook some gullible people. That, without any logical explanation provided for why or how, just buzz words repeated over and over, just isn't good enough.
My teachers were able to explain to me directly why Taijiquan was something that would help me. It took the confirmation of my actually benefiting from the training after a while, but the initial presentation was well organized and cogent. FLG just sounds like aload of loopy glassy-eyed kool aid cultists drooling over the drug addled ranting of yet another wannabe guru; and the "exercises" are only so much poorly coordinated qigong. The poor slobs can't even take a punch...
A big problem for me with Li and FLG is that they preach there is nowhere for them to go themselves in learning. Just hand over your entire physical, emotional, psychic and spiritual life to LI. Let him inhabit your body! Then they are at the top because Li somehow has everything sorted in a way that even the greatest teachers ever known haven't understood (everything but how to protect his followers from the CCP!!!). That is a dead position, spiritually. Who needs to grow? We have universal saviour Li Hongzhi controlling us 24/7! There is no balance, no grace, no kung fu to be found in such smugness.
