Reptilian Brain

[Jimbo]

Very interesting.
I have a friend who trained a type of martial qigong for a while many years ago. He said that he began to develop a lot of power in his hands, beyond what he would have normally been capable of. But he said that after awhile he began to "lose compassion" and that his personality began to change in a negative way. He quit the practice. Later, he mentioned this to another practitioner, and this person told him that this practice required very careful instruction and guidance over a long period of time; otherwise, some people might become 'psychotic'.

Anyway, that's what he told me. I tend to believe my friend, because he's very practical-minded and has a pretty good BS meter. Yet he maintains that the practice wasn't worth the potential risks.
