If its half as good as many users have claimed

I'd say it's about half as good. I read somewhere sciency last year that a good overall percentage is 7% more intelligent in spite of yourself. 14% more intelligent if you *believe* in it. Half the actual power is in the belief. Then again... I believe that half the power of any drug is in the belief.

As my awareness increases, I move on to bigger and better things. Oftentimes, more subtle. --constantly. That is the way of Natural Brilliance. My question is "what underlies" meditation, smart drugs, good feeling, genius intelligence, enlightened intelligence and the like?

Piracetam works, I think, by increasing brain chi. ... it doesn't go down to the source, the sex chakras. It releases bioenergy in the head. What of the bottom of the spine and along it?

If all you want is 7 to 14% more intelligence, then that's cool. If you want more though... attend to the base of the spine--and connect it to the brain.

A genius has a super bio-energized 6th and 7th chakra, but what of the other 5? He's unconnected.

All the bioenergy you could ever want exists within you, literally and physically at the base of your spine, if only you could connect it to the higher energy centers.

People are lazy because their solar plexus is not "plugged in" to their sex chakra. People are selfish because their heart is likewise not "plugged in". They're living from their base sex chakra which is all about ejaculation and gratifying sensory desires like food, sex, sleep, work avoidance.

There are many lazy and selfish geniuses...

I want the full package. To this end, I pursue alternate means. Chinese herbs, energy devices, yogic stretching.

Qigong will make you healthy and vital, but again, unless you are moving energy up your spine to your brain... won't make you a Super Man.

That is why the Falun Gong cult was so massively popular in China--(I'm writing my senior essay on them). After ages of simple qigong masters (healers, essentially), this Master Li Hongzhi guy came a long and said that he had developed a system that could go one step beyond--to raise the energy to the brain and achieve enlightenment via qigong. I wonder if Spring Forest will go that high? Beyond vitality and healing?
