Chapter 3 - Enlightenment

Mo Ling kept running though the QI condensation, he stopped when he runs though all of them, then start reading seriously.

'The stage of QI condensation or the healing promise of QI is outlined what he calls the "ten stages of QI cultivation." Now, each person's cultivation practice is unique, and we shouldn't expect or strive to have our practice fit neatly into some predetermined framework. Nevertheless, cultivation manuals are useful for they represent a conceptual map of the cultivation, this stage at least the general contours of it is outlined to level 1-3 which deal primarily with physical health and healing, while level 4-6 with mental and emotional well-being, in the end level 7-10 with the unfolding of our deepest spiritual potentials.'

Mo Ling set in the center of his room, crossed his legs, straightened his back, closed his eyes, like his everyday habit but this time with more awareness for he understands that level One is about Discover QI, Mo Ling did not do anything execive, he practiced like usual, did his chores the remain time he spent it closing his eyes trying to break thought the first level. In the fifth day he succeeded, he felt like is swimming or better flying with slow speed in a warm liquid, sometimes it seemed like cool air, he was disoriented at first however after adjusting his state of mind he discovered it was his conscious entering his body, he was petrified then felt wonder, then curious in the end he started roaming here and there, suddenly he saw something like flash of silver passing by healing what it seems like an injury, it was At that moment that he remembered "it must be the QI ", it was not organized like he thought it will be it was in state of chaos like people without a leader, it differs in seize too there are the thin flashes, short flashes, long one .... After what felt like half an hour he felt like losing conscious, he found himself in his room still in the same position, but he gained something but can't seem to pinpoint what he gained.

Mo Ling didn't know that what he gained was enlightenment: it is a Mystical realm means he awakened his mind that whether he is in stillness or in motion, whether it is day or night, the mind is always free from clinging and delusion; it is always clear, mindful, and in command, this state is very useful it does not appear with practice, repetition, waiting or anything like that ; it depends on One's luck, Understanding and sometimes even the Wheel of fate, gaining enlightenment in any level, knowledge, occupation, art, ... make the road smooth sailing, Mo Ling was supposed to spend two months to achieve breakthrough to the second level but now it will be shorter ; how shorter depends on his understanding towards the gained enlightenment. However, for him this is an achievement even if he wasn't aware of it.

All he was aware of 'is like he let go of the false notion of solidity, and replacing it with one that is more in alignment with reality. The truth is that our human bodies are in continuous motion, within their own boundaries, as well as in continual exchange with the "external" world, through the air we breathe, and the food and water that we ingest' : this was his Enlightenment.

The QI is "life-force energy" since he discovered his QI and was able to establish direct awareness of the presence of QI within his own human body mind.

Mo Ling broke through the first level.
