It is about empowering the individual. It is
about you taking responsibility for what
happens. About you living to your potential.

Be Clear? Listen, people will think what they want regardless of clarity. Why? People see just what they want to see. Remember how you went to the University to demonstrate PhRing? It was demonstrated & they still refused to believe what you demonstrated. Paul said on the tape: I guess seeing is not believing!
But, if you want, say, fundamentalist Christians & Jehova Witness to also use Qigong, then that's interesting. No matter how cleverly worded stuff is, Qigong, unless you change the name totally is Chinese. The energy that heals is divine.
As far as empowering the individual goes, there is no limit to how this can be done. Living to your potential happens to us all. Teilhard DeChardin wrote beautifully on this. We are all moving into union w/ Christ. You can say divine light, energy, samadhi, nirvana, contemplation, satori, etc. We are all moving at a rate that is perfect for us. For some people, a life time of suffering is meant to be. Not every life time is filled w/ suffering, but some are. This planet is & can never be perfect, whole, the Garden of Eden. The Gnostic philosophy comes the closest in understanding.
Most of the people in this world, meaning people other than those living in the US, believe that this world is a temporary place where we come to learn stuff in order to evolve beyond all this being born & dying. Most people believe that birth/death are what constitutes the prison, all the mess.
Qigong is just one of many, many, many, even infinite ways to reconnect w/ oneself: one's self w/ Self. There is a yearning isn't there? Qigong is just one of many, many, many even infinite ways to pull down or reconnect w/ one's Self.
