Hello! My name is Selim, and just like the title of this thread, I am searching for a living Mo Pai master to train under. If anyone has any leads or information regarding this, please feel free to message me directly! Anything would be helpful and most appreciated!
A little bit of background for context; I spent most of my life being an empirical materialist, which is to say someone quite firmly in the scientific-atheist camp that many people would consider themselves today (though this seems to be changing quite a bit in the last few years especially since COVID). It was in late 2022 to early 2023 that I awakened to the spiritual nature of existence, specifically after I began reading Eknath Easwaran's translation of the Bhagavad Gita (a text I recommend to everyone, no matter their background). After reaching the part of the text where Krishna instructs Arjuna to take up meditation, that same day I committed myself to establish myself in meditation like Krishna instructed in the Gita. Skip forward about half a year and in the summer of 2023 I undertook the most intense spiritual practice I have undertaken since. For the duration of that summer I dedicated myself completely to the spiritual dimension of existence. I read Hindu scriptures daily, meditating 3-5 hours per day, practicing daily qi gong after learning the Buddha had practiced it, and educating myself as much as I could on spiritual matters. I did this until after maybe two months of intense sadhana, I found myself intuitively led to induce a Kundalini awakening within myself (with the guidance of a video I had found on YouTube, of course). After this I reduced my practice to simply daily meditations before bed. The fall after the summer of my Kundalini awakening I went off to university where I would continue my spiritual studies alongside my more mundane studies, even going on to found a spirituality club at the school I was at. During my time at university I came across a video of Mel Gibson talking to Joe Rogan on his podcast, but it was what he was talking about that fascinated me. He spoke of a man who had performed some form of energy healing on him, a man who preferred to be referred to as John Chang to protect his own privacy, but whose abilities were so great that when he worked on Mel Gibson he drove him several feet up the wall much to Gibson's shock. Not only this, this man didn't belong to just any school of nei gong practitioners, but to a highly secretive sect known as "Mo Pai".
My interest in Mo Pai was piqued but I found myself busy with school and other obligations, so it fell to the wayside until I had sufficient time to pursue it again.
Which brings us to the present day. Due to a string of events, I found myself remembering my interest in Mo Pai and bought several books relating to it, namely "The Magus of Java" by Kosta Danaos, "Enter Mo Pai" by James Van Gelder, and "Seeking the Master of Mo Pai" by Jim McMillan. Based on my understanding thus far, while it is possible to attempt Mo Pai training by oneself, it is best to do so under the guidance of a living Master so that one can avoid the pitfalls that would slow down the progress of the student as well as the potential dangers that could arise from the practice of intense internal energy manipulation.
So, after sharing my story, I hope that anyone with the willingness to help or knowledge to do so could help point me in the right direction! It would be greatly appreciated!
Looking for Living Mo Pai Master
Looks like its closed circle and no masters in sight. Would be intersted to know myself if any schools on that.
Did any of those books on that give you any progress on that topic? Like physical sign
it works?
I personally had success many years ago with
qigong - after months of training I could physically sense energy travel in body and body hair reflecting that - moves along. I can still do it today and it slowly devlops when I practice. Very pleasant feeling. So I suspect it is something similar and could be greatly enchanted with right practice.
I understand well why those schools and masters are hesitant to open up if it really works like we see from the videos - its quite dangerous in wrong hands I can imagine. I guess its better like that.
I was in Indonesia myself and heard quite hard to belive stories from locals there - many people there seem to live in totally different reality and belif systems. They explain their experience sincerely and that seem to be real to them - a bit hard to belive for my western mind, but cant deny the possibility as well after my own advancement to things I tought are fantasies before.
If you into this topic and cant find Mo Pai masrer, and want to self develop, then I know one great master from totally different lineage - western roots. Great knowledge and practically repeatable teachings that I have best success with. He is open to teach and has great online course that really advanced me beyond what was possible before. I still have lot to learn from him. His teachings are quite intense and challanging to follow, but my experience shows that hard work pays out.
