pretty interesting read there
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
The term for spirit in the hebrew and greek bibles referes to breath, ie: Chi in TCMA.
The spirit is viewed as the life force and indestructable life force, when we die, the spirit returns to YHWH.
The life force is what keeps us alive, like an "electrical current" if you will, when God created the world, he used his Holy Spirit, his breath, his life force ( sans light saber).
The manipulation of the spirit force, though not something typically referred to in the Bible in regards to humans, is something that God and Jesus were able to do, not sure about angelic beings though...
Pneuma in greek I think.
i always wondered how some people who can believe in a holy infinite being can have such hard problems with the concept of chi/prana/ki/mana/etc......

i agree. My mom is one of those who denounced the concept of qi as evil for years. it wasn't until i became a martial artist and really sat down and expalined to her the similarities and described the feeling i had when I did qigong did she really start to listen.
I think that many martial artists can truly benefit from a more spiritual way of life because it can show you many sides to qi and thus increase your understanding of it.
Really old school prayer is actually one of the strongest qigongs I have done. But when you really look at it, its easy to figure it out. you are on your knees but hunched over in a fetal position(which is an old school daoist way of meditaion). The positon allows for more air to be received and pushed out. You are talking and therefore doing reverse abdominal breathing. And as you relax and the words start to flow, your mind is empty and the way you are speaking is similar to the way the six healing sounds are done.
Also, I once heard from a catholic sifu that the reason the saints all have halos, was the fact that there chi was so powerful it presented itself as a halo above their head.
food for thought
pffft. thats nothing. i do that in my sleep...
now, turning solids into liquids.....
i can take any solid food form and in a matter of hours have it transformed into a liquidy substance, provided i add a special mixture into the solid food stuffs.

The original Christian communities in Ethiopia, Egypt and Eastern Orthodox rites have a more spiritual and meditative tradition. As Christianity began to move ito Europe proper, it began to lose that tradition as it spread outward to the greater populations.
