everything wrote:if we say do not use "force", but use "jin" which follows "qi" which follows "yi", that logically points to the idea we have to deepen use of "yi". of course we need a teacher, but the "yi" and "qi" is in us, not them. so maybe the teacher is there to help identify "the path of going deep" rather than the other way around.

Obviously they must teach completely under the radar or we would know already.

Pretty much.
But some asked and here is what it means to go deep:
Body-Mind refinement until the Body is completely open so one can fully understand the Mind and what its exact role is. In the meantime, internal organs must be cleansed and remain in a state of balance; all joints must be opened, tendons stretched and supple; muscles are softened as Spleen is working correctly, creating and distributing the Qi, blood and fluids efficiently (more energy is produced at a lowered energy/food intake).
Focus is on hard work not form let alone fighting others since this kind of work is enormous and it requires a lot of effort, energy and dedication. Grounding, grounding and more grounding; this can't be emphasised good enough.
HJH provides the tools for this type of work and it's up to the student how far they are ready to go.
Any others?
