"Would you share a bit of your experiences with the flow of Chi, both internal and external?"
I went to read that page you linked, very interesting. I like how you are linking it with the sorcery view as well, Castaneda's works via Don Juan, eagle's emanations.
My personal experiences here in China...I am thrilled I have more exposure in daily life to chi...that it's something important to the Chinese people, but they have taught me the importance of not succumbing to the superstitious/dependency issues regarding practices. So a practice without predetermined perimeters..in other words...seeing energy as it occurs rather than following ancient beliefs. The ancient beliefs may have been the seers of that age, so is why such things became popular, but times change and we have begun to do things like explore space, moving to abstractions. To know that chi transforms with the age its occurring in, and even more specifically...chi transforms via intent, our intent. So if we make new intent, we liberate chi from the old and thus venture into the unknown.
That's one reason I have not sought out any spiritual teachers here in China...one reason.
