Jobs and CareersRemote Viewing Vs Neigong Meditation
By Randolph Directo
Some people have asked me how remote viewing is like Neigong Meditation. I want to show you how remote viewing is an extension of Neigong Meditation. Although there are esoteric meditations similar to Neigong, I have chosen Neigong to compare with remote viewing because I am a certified oriental sports trainer; Neigong is part of my studies.
I like esoteric solutions which are spiritually fulfilling, therefore I want to show you how eastern and western methodologies have coincided. The spiritually adept people all over this planet have made this possible. First, let's talk about our cognitive commitments that keep us from becoming spiritually adept.
The Source of Skepticism
Cognitive commitments are the source of our skepticism. They are caused by others controlling our behavior since childhood; I'm talking about peers, teachers, and parents who push their personal ideologies (i.e. cognitive commitments) on us telling us "You can't do this" or "You can't do that" because it's "not logical, scientific, or productive" "people will disapprove," "you will be possessed by demons," and so much more hysteria that I've lost track.
For some reason, there are people who think that meditation is akin to stealing, starting fires, or worse. If the intention behind your meditation is to be evil, then I agree. Otherwise, I believe only good people are interested in personal development.
Cognitive commitments form the "invisible barriers" to self improvement and prevent us from achieving more in our lives. The esoteric solutions are all about your regaining that control, so you can get rid of those childhood mental "barriers" that hold you back.
I believe that solutions which allow you to expand upon your true God-Given nature are the best solutions. The most efficient solutions are the ones that expand upon your consciousness and your spirituality. We should go with the most practical solutions that return the most control to us. This means removing psychic barriers that are deeply rooted in our subconscious.
In order to remove those psychic barriers we need to do psychic exercises that strengthen us to break through and push far beyond those "barriers" or cognitive commitments which are part of mainstream thought.
The Mainstream Paradigm vs. Esoteric Human Achievement
Certain 'leaders' in mainstream society are control freaks; they want the control of the people's lives for themselves, therein lies their power. These 'leaders' spout off judgmental heuristics built upon mental barriers and everyone with the same barriers/beliefs fall into place; that's how we're trained since childhood: "Follow the Leader."
Imagine a world where everyone has control over their own destiny, their own objectivity on how human beings work, then the power would lie with the collective human race. Imagine how far the human race can advance through our collective intentions as advanced beings towards a truly life positive world.
Unfortunately, not enough people think this way. Fortunately, since you're here, I believe your intention is to control your destiny.
Self control takes intense mental discipline such as Neigong which is taught by the most proficient instructors in qigong (i.e. energy/breath work encompassing Neigong and Waigong).
Gerald O'Donnell, founder of the Academy of Remote Viewing and Remote Influencing, provides concepts in his course which are derivations of Neigong for expanding the mind to reach far beyond the physical body.
First, Let's look at Neigong:
Neigong Background
Neigong is any of a set of Chinese breathing, meditation and spiritual practice disciplines associated with Taoism, especially the Chinese martial arts. Neigong practice is normally associated with the so called soft styles or internal styles like Taijiquan or Baguazhang.
Waigong is associated with hard styles like Shaolin Long Fist or White Crane Kung Fu; even external styles of martial arts have their own brand of Qigong.
Hard and soft styles both have many different schools, disciplines and practices and historically there has been mutual influence between the two. Distinguishing precisely between styles differs from school to school (especially the level of proficiency of the instructors), but they both have the same goal: Soft style eventually becomes hard style. Hard style eventually becomes soft style. They are two different paths on the same road. Their common goal is to control the life force or "Chi" through intense self discipline.
The Neigong adepts are able to perform what would seem to be miraculous feats such as healing, maintaining health and youth, and as a tool for enlightenment. Their practice is focused within their discipline. This means if their discipline if medical Neigong, the focus of their practice is healing.
You don't have to be any particular religion to enjoy the benefits of Neigong Meditation. Religious Qigong associated with Taoism AND Buddhism is focused on the primary goal of enlightenment. Besides Medical Qigong, there's also Scholarly and Martial Qigong. It is a narrow point of view that Neigong is only a Taoist Religious Practice.
In fact, these different forms of Neigong are practiced all over the world by different cultures, but in more esoteric realms and by different names. Most cultures practice Religious Neigong.
For example, in Kabbalist Meditation, from the arcane religious sect of Judaism, this is considered an occult exercise. This is Religious Neigong. Transcendental Meditation is an arcane practice of Hinduism with more perks related to different types of Neigong training. When making comparisons of breathing techniques and focus, we can see parallels between all types of Neigong.
Neigong meditation is said to require concentration and internal reflection which results in a heightened self-awareness that increases over time with continued practice. The same is true for meditation from every culture.
The difference is you don't have to be scholarly to experience the miraculous effects of expanding your consciousness. If you want control over your own life, then all you really need is the guidance. Most of us were discouraged when we were children. To break us from that negative mindset, we need to be encouraged using expert advice, a mentor to do a little 'hand holding' to guide us in our quest for regaining that lost control.
More importantly, you want a guide who can easily follow and understand without having to learn any foreign language like Chinese or Hebrew. We have western guides who teach us in perfect english the steps to mental discipline: For example, Remote Viewing:
Remote Viewing Background
Remote Viewing (RV) refers to scientifically proven mind technologies that break the space-time barrier. Remote Viewing is the ability to perceive, through a projection of heightened consciousness, people and events, distant in time-space; it is a mental faculty that allows a "viewer" to describe or give details about a target that is inaccessible to normal senses due to distance, time, or shielding.
This Mind Technology was developed since the 1950's by both US, Western, and Eastern European Intelligence Agencies. They achieved some great successes, some still classified.
Remote Viewing Courses that are now commercially available have been adapted for more practical civilian use and are now presented for the greater benefit of humanity including yourself.
For example, a viewer might be asked to describe a location on the other side of the world, which he or she has never visited; or a viewer might describe an event that happened long ago; or describe an object sealed in a container or locked in a room; or perhaps even describe a person or an activity; all without being told anything about the target, not even its name or designation.
Remote viewing is an extra sensory perception ability gained through intense practice and self discipline. When I listened to the sample mp3's meditation exercises from Gerald O'Donnell's website, I immediately recognized the parallel to internal Qigong or Neigong exercises.
Principles in training Remote Viewing:
* Deep Breathing with Relaxation
* Drawing upon Universal Energy
* Connecting with your inner "light"
* Expanding and contracting your inner "light" in coordination with your breath
* Using your inner light as an extension of your consciousness
* Extending your Consciousness beyond the body into your environment
These are the most significant comparisons between remote viewing and Neigong. The "inner light" to which I refer is your life force or Chi as it also applies in Neigong. It is also a "light" force because this is what you see and feel in your mind's eye. Extending and projecting our minds is what we do in remote viewing; this is also what we do in Neigong Meditation.
The Connection
As I mentioned previously, there are Scholarly, Martial, Medical, and Religious forms of Neigong. All of these forms either aid in the expansion of consciousness, the projection of consciousness, and the connection with universal consciousness. Training in remote viewing also utilizes these three principles.
Remote Viewing Training is like Scholarly Neigong in that it emphasizes emotional neutrality. It's like Healing Neigong in that it emphasizes Chi Circulation, (but not in specific channels). It's like Martial Neigong because it energizes the physical and energy bodies to a more vigorous state. Finally, it's like Religious Neigong because the goal is enlightenment with (distant) information beyond the five senses.
Conclusion
The reason I've written this paper is because most westerners and even some 'experts' treat meditation like riding a bike. The difference is we always want to improve our skills in art, science, and sport. A self improvement tool like meditation is no exception. We always want to push forward.
What I've presented here is only the tip of the iceberg. These cross culture parallels in meditation practices towards self improvement should open our options to more choices wherever we are in the world according to the following precepts:
1. We need to push ourselves beyond the simple objective of relaxation when meditating because we always want to advance ourselves as in any type of training.
2. We need to recognize that meditation is part of nature which is part of self improvement.
3. We need to understand that meditation is a tool for advancing humanity.
4. The common root between all the intensely disciplined meditations is internal alchemy, the actual goal of meditation.
Neigong is simply the Chinese Cultural expression of the same phenomena that exists all over the world: Internal Alchemy through Meditation, the advancement of humanity through communion with nature. That Nature is God.
When We're closer to God, We're closer to our Humanity, our true nature.
This same phenomenon exists all over the world because we're all human and we're all part of the same nature. We're all aspects of the One Mind of God. You will live a longer, happier life when you are spiritually oriented. You can prove that you DO have control over your own life.

Three Ways to Maintain Your Focus
By Anthony Michalski
I received an email from a fellow who wanted some techniques on maintaining focus, especially the conscious focus that Haanel describes in Week Fourteen in The Master Key System.
26. But the thought must be clear cut, steady, fixed, definite, unchangeable; you cannot take one step forward and two steps backward, neither can you spend twenty or thirty years of your life building up negative conditions as the result of negative thoughts, and then expect to see them all melt away as the result of fifteen or twenty minutes of right thinking.
I have three ways or techniques you can use to maintain focus. They are pretty self-evident, but I hope that when you read them here, you'll see them in a different light.
More importantly, I hope that you will put these techniques into practice.
(1) Practice, man. Practice!
You must be consciously aware of your mental state at all times. Take stock of why you're feeling the way you are when/if you get down.
Get to the root of things.
It takes serious practice to do that.
The Master Key System is not a pop psych book. It's a serious philosophy that demands some serious effort. There are no shortcuts in this. Practice is the key way to achieve this success.
(2) Get a better goal (or why)!
If you tend to lose focus, then maybe your goal isn't a true goal--a goal that you really want. Use The Master Key Workbook to hone your goals so that they are what you really want. It's funny how when you really want something, many distractions just fade away.
Think of things this way: If you were submerged under water and held there, you would struggle with all your might to get to the surface so that you could breath again.
That's a goal! That impels you to keep reaching!
That's focus: when you can think of nothing else but that which you desire.
As long as you truly desire the goals you set for yourself--and you have compelling reasons why you want them--then the focus you need will be easy to attain--and maintain.
(3) Live up to it!
I've found that many folks don't live up to anything. They don't have a compelling reason to want to be better.
Think of any bachelor that you know. Their house (or apartment) is a mess, they're slovenly, unkempt, unshaven. I think you get the picture.
Once they meet a girl they want to impress, though ... Wow! Don't they do a complete 180?
They clean themselves up, get their act together, and try to win the girl.
Why?
They've found something they want to live up to.
A leader wants to be the best leader so that he/she can gain the respect of their group. A father wants to live up to being a hero in his son's eyes. A mother will do what she can to retain custody of her children so that they can stay together as a family.
That is what living up to something means.
To maintain a focus, find or realize all the ways you can live up to things--and then become that person. Maintaining that image will help you to maintain that focus.
I hope that this helps and that it provides a few insights to keeping yourself on track. Focus is something with which most people struggle. As I like to say, all too often life interruptus rears its ugly head.
Life interruptus ... That destroyer of time and waster of energy.
Ask yourself how much of your time is interrupted by phone calls, people stopping by, or even yourself getting involved in one distraction or another. If you make your plan and then stick to it, then you are increasing the chances of maintaining your desired focus and therefore achieving your goals.
David Rockefeller would maintain his schedule no matter what. If he scheduled that a meeting would last for one hour, then it would last for one hour. When that hour was up, the meeting was over.
Eliminating life interruptus is often times difficult to do, but it must be done. If you constantly find yourself depleting your energy on useless, unfocused tasks and endeavors, then you will find yourself adrift, not getting to where you want to be.
Use these techniques to maintain your focus. When it all comes down to it, your life becomes what you focus on. Focus on the good things and the good things will come to you.
