some people are trying to make the system more complicated than it should be.
While I haven't watched it and the way it goes probably woudn't be able to do so, anytime soon(a lot of material to watch, lately), I should address this on its own.
It seems wise to assume this isn't refering to the old sources, Alex Chiu or Jack Chiu etc. As they can be viewed as complex, yet no point saying that now, as they have been here for a while. So wise to assume that refers to newer sources.
There are many other practitinoers and schools that do have WWG courses, but most of them are too expensive to just randomly test, so wise to assume the content there isn' what is ment, either.
Then we are left with the 2 schools that started their WWG courses, lately.
One is a very big and somewhat known school that we commented about here, the other is AK school.
In both cases I think they aren't 'more complex then they should be'.
For different reasons.
For the big school... What we saw from the free taping was one very advanced technique, that was exactly as complex as it should have been. Long to explain why, again comes witht he 'advanced settings'.
As it basically it allows to get a yes/no without encumbering the setting at all. Not sure all there will be able to use it, fully, as i don't know how much setting they will make, and withotu that its just yes/no. But never the less its amazing technique by all counts.
The other technique was the XKFX thing, I don't think that will work, but too complex to go into. Western metaphysical orders have similar techniques with Tarot, it works there, but there are other things needed for it. That are needed to make the Image stable etc. Could be in the paid course, or on the days I didn't watch(just watched first few), so who knows...
The rest was not very complex, was the usual WWG stuff from another perspective in my view. Some parts seemed missing, may be in the full course, no idea.
So we have 1 very advanced technique - definitely not more complex then it need to be,also 1 technique that may not work. No matter if it does or not, problem is not the complexity. The rest of the material seemed simple enough.
Not saying it wasn't good, I don't really know, the advanced technique was definetly awesome, the rest I was a little worried for missing stuff, but may be in the paid course or the other days.
They have the habit of improving their courses. The Feng Shui free taping last time was so good, I was happy I watched it. So right now is not too complex, if there are other problems it will likely get better next year.
Then we are left with Ak school.
And the case there is different. The level 1 course is not more complex then it needs to be, in my humble view and I will try to explain why...
The way I view it, the popular system allows one to set one thing. Focus/Yong Shen etc. whatever we want to call it. But reliably one or at most 2 things at the same time.That is in the classics, in the most courses and in all books on the topic with few exceptions. There are exceptions, but overall that is it.
In the level 1 course by AK we can see the way to go above all that, see its problems and be able to start making more advanced settings with many elements set from the start.
That suggest more complexity, but it isn't more then it has to be. Its exactly the amount it needs to be if we want advanced settings.
Considering al that I don't think its too complex, I thiik its just providing the next step for people that are already familiar with the system in its popular context(setting 1 focus, in most cases) and want to go deeper.
So its like person that learned to juggle 2 balls at the same time, saying all these videos and courses of people teaching how to juggle 3 are more complex then they should be.
Depending on ones aims that may or may not be true, but in AKs material in his level 1 course, we have clear and consistent explanation of the problems with the classical texts and approaches. And the way out of them.
If one is happy with just using 1 focus, then its all good, doesn't need that. Yet if we want to go deeper and use complex settings we have to be prepared for all getting a little more complex, be that pointed at some of the techniques of the first school or the level 1 material of the second.
Overall, I have to disagree. In my humble opinion, AK stuff is exactly the amount of complex it needs to be...
