so what you;re saying the most efficient way is to contemplate on it?
No, I'm saying the most efficient way is to experiment, find your own personal strengths, and play to them when developing a sensitivity to and ability to manipulate energy. We're all different, in the sense that our brains are all wired a little differently, so when starting out, we have to understand how our brains are used to solving problems and dealing with information, and use that nature tendancy to our advantage. If you don't know what that is, then give it some thought, consider how you think about things, how you solve problems, what senses you recall most vividly and accurately.
As to the other stuff... *sigh*... there's a million dollars supposedly waiting for your friend if he can repeat that phenomenon, at least according to the randy foundation, or some such. I'm not passing judgment one way or another, but it has no bearing here, or on your own progress. You can't compare your progress to that of another person, unless they can consistently recreate the same observable phenomenon, and instruct you in the specific method necessary to do the same. Ignore those past feats of mystical prowess, they will do you harm in the long run when you are frustrated at not being able to do the same thing.
Even when you do manage to pull off something 'miraculous' once, it will more than likely be an accident, and you will find yourself unable to consistently, at least immediately, repeat the same thing. That's just how it is, it's like when you catch that baseball without looking, like a jedi or something, but then can't do it again.
You could try to have a friend through baseball at your head until you get it again consistently, but on the way to that point you will more than likely just get a concussion - more than one if you try a series of times - and end up taking far longer than if you were to just develop your hand-eye coordination, reflexes, awareness, and reaction time seperately, unrelated to that particular skill. It's your body/mind learning a new skill by fluke accident, and if you get caught up on trying to master it right then and there, or even worse, before you've even gotten to that point, then you'll never get anywhere. You want to work with energy? Begin at the beginning, and ignore the possibility that you may one day develop anything like that. You will save yourself years of work. When we free our minds, and allow our potential to develop organically on it's own, without our influencing "I want to get to this point" or "I want to do what so-and-so can do" or "I need some proof this is working" when we've only been at it for a month, otherwise the growth is stunted and what would have been a years worth of work becomes five. What was five becomes twenty. Just stop thinking about it, and focus on practice. Do it diligently every day, half an hour at first, work yourself up to more time at your own pace, and do it simply to do it. Do it for no other reason than it is good for your mind. Do it because you enjoy the work itself, not to get anything out of it. This is how you succeed in a job, this is how you succeed raising children, this is how you succeed at anything. Do it because it's your passion. If it is not your passion, do something else.
peace
