fireka Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 okay, first note before i tell this story, im a martial arts freak, so its no wonder why i was thinking this. ive been going to my dojo for about amonth now and ive started to notice this girl thats in the class just before mine. im starting to like her, and today i crossed the bump between 'i could stand to have dinner with her' to actually liking her. yes, this has a point. I noticied when i looked at her, and felt that little tingling you get when you like someone, that it was about three points below the nvel and spread upward like a glowing light, the same place were your ki is supposed to be! so i was wondering, does ki maybe have something to do with the force that attracts us to people? because if so i think i have a lot of ki.

karate_woman Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Well, I think ki, as energy, is part of all things, so yes, ki has to do with love/lust, etc. I believe there are books on Zen and Love.

fireka Posted May 15, 2003 Author Share Posted May 15, 2003 its just that beforei belived in ki because its something i just wanted to belive in, it sounded cool. but whgen that happened, after we had discussed here were ki is located, i belived it because i felt it. its odd that i never noticed the location of these feelings (as well as anger and a bunch of others) seem to spring out of the very same place were ki is.

Kyle-san Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 There's also the flaw of over-analysing a situation or expecting a certain reaction so much you cause it to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireka Posted May 15, 2003 Author Share Posted May 15, 2003 granted, thats the reason a lot of wannna-be buhdist claim theve reached enlightment. im not saying i reached some higher order though, not at all. what i am claiming is everyone feels this emmotion, i was thinking about ki till after it was all over, im just saying everyone feels this its aboutin the same place as your ki is supposed to be, im just putting two and two togather. i could be dead wrong it just made since to me, i mean if its energy than that would get it gong wouldnt it?

karate_woman Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 I feel ki elsewhere as well... The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. -Lao-Tse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle-san Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Just because everyone experiences it doesn't mean that the emotion is linked to chi. You're linking two unrelated events and falling into the trap of creating a response based on your expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireka Posted May 15, 2003 Author Share Posted May 15, 2003 how can you be so sure? and how are these events unrelated? it seems logical, the locations are the same. look if everyone has ki than its not rare and mystic, its common place and it wouldnt take some sucluded monk to uncover it.

Kyle-san Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Yes, but there is a huge difference between an emotional state and working with your internal energy. If I get hungry, my stomach growls and causes a sensation in my abdomen. If I get shot in the stomach, a painful sensation occurs in my abdomen. Are these two events related or not? By your argument they could be just because they happen in the same location. A person is killed in their home. 6 months later the new owner gets pregnant in the same home. Are these two events related or not? By your argument they could be just because they happen in the same location. Do you see the point I'm trying to make?
