What is Falun Gong?... and is it for mind control?


any body knows?

[William]

  It was - is - A big converging of people practicing Falun Gong in the Millions so the Govt did not want so many united under one Re-ligion or Movement as it would inter-fear with Govt control of the People.   Originally it was not for mind control.  I have not looked into it for awhile though.  There should be a bunch of old threads from Expansions on this.

I had a Chinese professor who was writing articles against Falun Gong--he was against the man who started the falun gong and sought refuge from the United States. To my knowledge and understanding of it...it is like tai chi and qi gong. I could be wrong. If you want to look up my former profs articles against it...email me..let me know I'll give you his name. I think I tried it out with a friend once..to me it just seems more like tai chi. I don't see too much of a problem with it..except I know that its got something to do with energetics and the lemurian systems so you would want to be careful.

The Chinese government saw it as a threat and said it was a cult or something dangerous for people to join and practice..I think they were saying it is dangerous to a persons health. Not sure...but I know they ---being a communist government trying to supposedly sway towards a free market economy and maybe even a "democracy"...*coughs cuz it aint true about democracies in this world....the largest one..India..is corrupt*

Here is what I found about it:

This site talks about some interesting aspect into this subject:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falun_Gong

here's an interesting quote taken from the above site:

"...In Falun Gong, a practitioner is able to accumulate De (德, dé, virtue) through his or her own cultivation efforts, but needs the direct intervention of the master in order to evolve the De into cultivation energy. In Zhuan Falun, Li states: “Cultivation practice depends upon an individual himself while the transformation of Gong is up to the master. The master gives you the Gong that develops your Gong, which will be at work. It can transform the substance of De outside of your body into Gong.”
 Because of the unique cultivation mechanism of the Falun Gong -- involving the accumulation of De (virtue) and the master’s intervention to transform it to Gong —some critics consider Falun Gong to be ineligible for the label Qi Gong. Using an analogy to modern aircraft, Deng and Fang describe the mechanism of Falun Gong cultivation: The disciples through cultivation, tests and tribulations, and defending the Fa accumulate de. To give a simple analogy, the disciple gathers fuel and raw materials such as aluminum and alloys to build a plane according to the Master blueprint. The Master watches in every step and intervenes as necessary. He also machines the materials into useful parts and assembles the plane. When it flies, the Master also becomes the pilot or navigator with the disciple as the passenger. In order to complete this process, one has only to submit to the sole authority..."

Here is a weblink to detailed information on Falun Dafa.http://www.falundafa.org/eng/index.htmHere is some more very relevant information in regards to Falun Gong.

Falun Dafa: A Brief IntroductionFalun Gong (also called Falun Dafa) is an ancient form of Qi Gong, the practice of refining the body and mind through special exercises and meditation. Like Tai Chi, Qi Gong is a vital part of many people's lives in Asia; almost every Chinese park is brimming by the break of dawn with people practicing these arts. Only a few years after its public introduction in 1992, Falun Dafa quickly grew to become the most popular form of Qi Gong ever in Chinese history. The major reason for this is that Falun Dafa distinguishes itself from other Qi Gong practices by emphasizing not only physical cultivation, but also cultivation of one's moral character in daily life according to higher principles taught by Mr. Li Hongzhi, Falun Dafa's founder. Falun Dafa's effectiveness in improving health and its profound principles have quickly made the practice immensely popular throughout the entire world. Since being introduced to the general public by Mr. Li, Falun Dafa has attracted tens of millions of people in over 60 countries. Most major cities and universities in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe have English-speaking Falun Dafa practice groups. The people who practice Falun Dafa come from every imaginable walk of life, as Falun Dafa transcends cultural, social, economic, and national boundaries. The practice has spread largely by word of mouth, as those who learn it usually find the benefits simply too good to keep to themselves.

http://www.falundafa.org/eng/overview.htmA 3 minute presentation on Falun Dafa can be view at that link as well. Here are details on the Zhuan Falun, the main spiritual book used in Falun Gong or Falun Dafa.

The Falun Dafa Books "As a matter of fact, no matter how many more articles we publish, they are merely complementary materials to Zhuan Falun. Only Zhuan Falun can truly guide a person's cultivation. It contains inner meanings that go from the level of ordinary people to incomparable heights. As long as you continue to cultivate, Zhuan Falun will always guide your elevation in cultivation." - Li HongzhiZhuan Falun [Turning The Law Wheel] By Li Hongzhi Zhuan Falun was a best-seller in Beijing, China during 1996, and not without reason. Zhuan Falun, the core text of Falun Dafa practice, is no ordinary book. Its contents and teachings have done nothing short of redefining qigong and cultivation practice. Moreover, the book nurtured Falun Dafa from a practice done by 200 thousand people in China to one taken up by over 100 million around the world. It has transformed millions of lives, giving people back their superior health and allowing them to practice genuine cultivation according to higher principles. The profundity of this book cannot be described in words - it is something one has to experience. Since its publication in 1995, Zhuan Falun has since been translated into more than a dozen languages, with several other translations forthcoming.  Zhuan Falun is a comprehensive explanation of Falun Dafa that ranges across an enormous array of topics, shedding light where no other authors have. Zhuan Falun delivers the boundless inner meanings of Falun Dafa - it is the guide to Falun Dafa practice. Its language nevertheless remains highly accessible and unadorned, as the text is drawn from Mr. Li's public lectures in China from 1992-1994. From scholars and government officials to country farmers and the retired, people from all walks of life have been moved by Zhuan Falun to begin practicing Falun Dafa. The book guides the practice of Falun Dafa for both new and veteran students alike. Only history will be able to fully reveal this book's importance.  Key contents of Zhuan Falun include discussion of:  * the origins of qigong and the long-forgotten meaning of "cultivation" * the roots of illness, and their fundamental removal * karma: its origin, effects, and transformation into virtue * Falun Gong's relation to qigong, Buddhism, Taoism, and other cultivation methods * the meaning and function of supernormal abilities * the question of eating meat and the issue of attachments * genuine, integrated cultivation of mind and body * what is Enlightenment, and what is Consummation?

I cut & paste the following because I read somewhere here last night a reference to the Bermuda Triangle:

From our perspective, dimensions are quite complicated. Humankind knows only the dimension in which humans currently exist, while other dimensions haven’t yet been explored or detected. When it comes to other dimensions, we qigong masters have already seen dozens of levels of dimensions. These, too, can be explained theoretically, though they remain unproven by science. Even though some people don’t admit the existence of certain things, they have actually reflected into our dimension. For example, there is a place called the Bermuda Triangle (the Devil’s Triangle). Some ships and planes have disappeared in that area, only to reemerge years later. No one can explain why, as no one has gone beyond the confines of human thoughts and theories. In fact, the Triangle is a gateway to another dimension. Unlike our regular doors that have definite positions, it remains in an unpredictable state. The ship can easily enter the other dimension if it passes through when the door happens to be open. Humans cannot sense the differences between the dimensions, and they enter into the other dimension instantly. The space-time difference between that dimension and our dimension cannot be expressed in miles—a distance of thousands of miles might be contained in one point here, that is, they might exist in the same place and at the same time. The ship swings in for a moment and comes back out again by accident. Yet decades have passed in this world, since time is different in these two dimensions. There are also unitary worlds existing in each dimension. There is a similarity here to our models of atomic structures wherein one ball is connected to another by a string, involving many balls and strings; it is very complex.

The Bermuda Trinagle is the place where is stationed some sort of crystal structure from the time of Atlantis. They used crystal for interdimensional traveling. Now, after the destruction of Atlantis crystal is still active but not under control, and from the time to time, the planes and ships which travel through this sector are transferred into another dimension.


Still that don't change the fact that Falun-gong is the mind-controled group for government/politics purposes.

I see in it much potential for harm and a mechanism for control.  It is interesting to note that the most successful mechanisms appear always to stem from a corrupted form of the truth. 

Sariel, thankyou for your comment elsewhere on the board today - in all my 'busy-ness' I believe I neglected to greet you.
