I have OBEd several times.
Not one last longer than 1 minute.
I was unable to find my way after I left my body.
Several images from all directions stack together.
when I could not figure out which is up down right left, I returned to my body.

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics for dummies

Our world can be divided into 3 levels,
Microscopic, Mesoscopic, Macroscopic levels
At each level we perceive matter differently.

Mesoscopic level is where we live, is at which our normal life goes about.
Macrosopic level is where stars and planets live.

Make a guess, what laws of physics govern the Mesoscopic Level?
Bingo! They are Newton's 3 laws of Mechanics.

The acceleration of an object is proportional to Force applied to it.
F = ma

Now what laws of physics govern the Macrosopic Level?
This one is what you could only learn in University.

The answer is General Relativity. The theory discovered by A. Einstein.
General Relativity says the space is NOT FLAT!

What do you mean the space is NOT FLAT?
Imagine you draw a straight line on a world map, from New York to Shanghai.

Now imagine what the straight line would be like, if you have drawn it on the Earth. It is no longer a straight line but a curve traversing half a sphere connecting the two cities.

You see the space is not flat at all.
The same thing happens in the outer space, between star and star.

Quantum Mechanics is the physics governing the microscopic level, the level where atoms and elementary particles live.

Imagine a coin lying on the table, it could only be one of the two possibilities: HEAD or TAIL.

But for a coin rotating on the table, how would you describe it?
Your best answer is that the coin is 50% HEAD and 50% TAIL.

Quantum Mechanics say this is precisely what happen at microscopic level. That's you are not 100% sure, what happen to an atom.
You can only tell how much chance it could turn out to be this way, and how much chance it could turn out to be that way.

A Mesocopic object, like a car, can have only one value of Energy at each instant. If a 500kg car is traveling at 5 metres per second, the Kinetic Energy is (1/2) times 500kg times (5 metres per second) squared.

But a Microscopic object can have more than one value of Energy at each instant!

It is possible that an atom has 1 calorie, 5 calories, 10 calories Energy value at the same time! All you need to find out is the chance, the probability of the atom being in each Energy value.

Imagine a person walking from home to school, how many paths is he taking?

Note, I am asking how many paths he is taking NOT how many paths he can take.

The answer is ONE of course, he could have taken a shortcut, he could have wandered around the neighbourhood, he could have chosen a zig-zag-like fanciful way of walking.

The point is, once he has made up this mind, now he is on his way to school, he is taking only ONE path.

This not happening to an atom which is billion times smaller than us. the atom is taking multiple paths when moving from one point to one point!

when you observe it, the atom will appear to be at one point, for you!
When you do not observe it, the atom appears everywhere again, countless possibilities.

Bizarre? That's Quantum Mechanics.

The Energy work you do,
Where does Energy, Qi, come from?

from the food you eat?
from the your spirit? (your virtues, your morality, anything unphysical)

or from your external environment, the Sun, the Moon, stars, Nature?

My guess:
depending on whether you open your chakras,
if you don't, the energy comes from first two.
if you do, the energy comes from last one as well.

I would like to share with you an interesting fact about Kundalini Yoga.

First take a look at the the process of Kundalini Awakening
[http://swamij.com/kundalini-awakening.htm]

1) Prana usually flows in Ida or Pingala
2) Prana is made to flow in Ida and Pingala
3) Prana is made to flow in Sushumna
4) Kundalini energy is awakened
5) Kundalini is led upwards
6) Kundalini rises to Sahasrara

Kundalini Yoga as well as the above sequence of energy flow was established in 1970's by the founders.

However the history of Chakra system and breathing exercise of Yoga can be dated back to the time of Vedas and Upanishads (1800–700 B.C.).

Now look at this photo


This is a jade discovered, to be made at the time of Warring States in China (500~200 B.C.)

Note that there was absolutely no connection between Ancient China and Ancient India at that time. The first connection was made at about 1~200 A.D. in Han Dynastic period of China.

Major cultural influences occurred hundred years after that (around 500 A.D. onwards)

The writings on the Jade are the following: (the translations are done by me)

《 行 氣 銘 》 ：
The Script of energy channeling:

「 行 氣 ： 深 則 蓄 ， 蓄 則 伸 ， 伸 則 下 ，
Channel the energy: Breathe deeply then accumulate , accumulate then extend, extend then flow downward,

下 則 定 ， 定 則 固 ， 固 則 萌 ，
flow downward then concentrate, concentrate then condense, condense then awaken,

萌 則 長 ， 長 則 退 ， 退 則 天 。
awaken then grow,  grow then withdraw, withdraw then (reach) Heaven.

天 機 舂 在 上 ， 地 機 舂 在 下 。
I am not sure of the term '天 機 舂'
but '天' means 'Heaven', '在 上' means 'on top'
'地' means 'Earth', '在 下' means 'at the bottom'
'天 機 舂' and  地 機 舂' could mean the Crown and Root Chakras.

順 則 生 ， 逆 則 死 。
follow (the sequence) then have life, reverse (the sequence) then have death.

The writings bear striking similarity with the teaching of Kundalini Yoga. The energy flow, chakras, sequence of practice, objective are the same. This writing was the earlist Daoism spiritual practice in China.

This is an article that I wrote about Astral Projection.
