Control the horizontal and the vertical, burn a mystic for Christ, we are about to get out of our bodies. Oooo, floating motes of intelligence, able to waft invisible into bedrooms and bank vaults everywhere! And it is all going to happen through an ordinary martial arts drill, common in systems of Karate and Kung Fu, and especially wudan arts.
If you can turn down the Outer Limits music for a moment, I’ll explain. The out of body experience I am talking about is possible through Kima Chasie, or, Horse meditation. In this article I am going to tell you exactly what that exercise is, which will include exactly how to do it.
Some forty years ago I was working on my black belt, and I was frustrated with this horse meditation thing. My classmates and I would assume a deep horse stance, one hand in a high block, the other hand in a horizontal, hooked back beak hand. We would stare at our clenched fingertips until our legs shivered in weakness and sweat burst forth upon our innocent foreheads.
Yet, I knew the two minutes we spent in the drill were insufficient. I had heard the stories of guys who would stand in the stance for two hours, and how they became endowed with immortal powers. And, not to reveal my adolescent dreams, I wanted to be like superman.
The way to be like superman, to be honest, is just to go ahead and do it. So I began doing Horse Meditation in a more concentrated fashion. I would hold the horse stance until the ache became too great, and then break, and know that I had not succeeded.
I decided that I had had enough, I was going to do the big breakthrough. I was going to become the most immortal martial artist in the world…uh, other than Bruce Lee. I mean, I would be more than a God, but…Bruce is Bruce, you know?
So I assumed the deep horse stance, and when the pain started, I told myself one thing…it isn’t going to kill me. Sweat, shakes, dire thoughts of having my legs fill with blood and burst. But, having made the decision that I was going to do or die…POP…I did it.
I floated above my head, disembodied, the world brilliant and forever, the source of immortality revealed. I had succeeded in using the martial arts, call it karate or kung fu or whatever, in realizing that I was a spirit, and that I was immortal, and that bodies were temporary things that you put on or take off as simply as one puts on a coat, or takes it off, or pants, they go on or off, too, and shoes, and socks, and…I was myself. Then, after a few minutes that seemed like an eternity, I decided to get back into my body, so I did, and I lost control, my stance fell forward, and I couldn’t figure out how to move my body quickly enough, and I fell right, smack dab, square…on my face.
