8-WAYS THUNDER BOXING, also known as Mo Pai, is an ancient system of internal cultivation that began over 2,000 years ago by a man named Mo Tzu. with them after death. Once combined, the yin chi and yang chi create a form of electric chi capable of being utilized for a myriad of different applications including healing, combat, and even transcending the cycle of death and rebirth.

There are four main stages, or levels, of development to the process of creating the immortal fusion inside of the practitioners being. Level 4 is the stage of immortal fusion, and beyond that there are 72 levels in total. In other words, the immortal fusion is just the beginning, like opening the door to a new world.

Currently, the greatest master of the Mo Pai lineage alive today is Master John Chang. Master Chang was last estimated to be at level 22 of the 72 levels. Having achieved fusion, John Chang has become able to harness and control the powerful electric chi. His supernatural abilities have been famously displayed on many YouTube videos as well as the 1988 documentary The Ring of Fire: An Indonesian Odyssey.

Two primary western students studied under John Chang directly and recorded the information gained from their experience. They both had long periods of direct contact with a true living master of Mo Pai. These two students are Jim McMillan and Kosta Danaos.

Prior to reading Enter Mo Pai , it is heavily encouraged for readers to have invested time into reading the direct accounts provided by the authentic western students. Specifically, Seeking the Master of Mo Pai: Adventures with John Chang by Jim McMillan, and The Magus of Java: Teachings of an Authentic Taoist Immortal by Kosta Danaos. Ultimately, however, these books are just a piece of the puzzle, to be a true seeker one has to compile information from all sources available.

For the dedicated practitioner, Mo Pai serves both as a fighting art and as a catalyst for metamorphosis, constantly evolving the practitioner both externally and internally. The accumulation of life-force involved with the Mo Pai practices does not only cause one to become more powerful, but also enhances and clarifies the practitioner on an experiential level. Eventually with enough persistent training, meditation will lead one to the steps of immortality with a realization of ones true nature and the experience of nirvana.

What is the goal of meditation?

Get to the stage to know the primal self.

Kosta Danaos

Throughout his consistent training John Chang has been able to consciously ascend himself into the ranks of the immortals. As such, besides the fantastic powers, John Chang has unlocked his primal self, and serves as a beacon of light for humans.

I know if I lived near him I would probably want to be around him as much as I could as well, he is really a strange and wonderful man, one that you instinctively want to be around.

Jim McMillan

Knowing the primal self is not an idea, but an actual experience, many people have never had the opportunity to experience their true selves, or their primordial selves. As a result, they do not have a reference point when making an effort to understand the importance of such a process. It is for this reason that most people do not take the wisdom of ancient masters seriously and fail to commit themselves to continual practice. If one is able to reach self-realization, either through traditional practices or through the Mo Pai training, the practitioner will not simply know who they are, but actually will become who they are. A complete experiential transformation. An immortal being such as this is now a spirit with a human body. A being who has died but continues to live.

The etheric body is an unknown aspect of ourselves to most westerners, but contains within it the capacity to unlock seemingly unlimited amounts of power. To understand the etheric body is to understand the mechanics of Mo Pais great power. The secret of which lies in the programming or activating of the etheric body.

When I was studying Nei Kung at that time we didnt know there was an Etheric Nervous System, which would explain what we were feeling. Basically, what youre doing is your programming a separate self. All of a sudden you have a nervous structure that can accept this, it is actually more powerful than our spine.

Kosta Danaos

In all individuals the etheric body continually works for ones highest good, constantly gathering and refining the vital energy contained in the surroundings. During Mo Pai, the practitioner takes advantage of this process and utilizes techniques to consciously absorb large amounts of chi into their etheric body from the surrounding environment.

Both yin chi and yang chi flow within the etheric body. The vital energy known as yang chi, continually enters through the back section of the top of the head. This point of entry is known as Bai Hui. After entering the top of the head, the yang chi descends down the individuals back and into the lower dantien. This constant inflow of yang chi is the reason that the back section of the top of the head is always warm. In meditation, when the awareness has extended into the etheric body, it actually becomes possible to perceive the inflowing waves of warm chi descending the back. The Bai Hui point is also a natural balancing mechanism for the body to convert excess yin chi into yang chi.

Yang chi needs to be equally balanced with yin chi. Yin chi is absorbed from the earth by the body at the Hui Yin point . The Hui Yin point is located near the area of the perineum. Similar to the Bai Hui point, the Hui Yin point is also where the body transforms yin chi into yang chi. For this reason the Hui Yin point and the Bai Hui point are means for the body to balance the yin and yang chi in order to maintain harmony.
