I would like to understand what these 72 levels are and what must be achieved for each of those. Do you please know where one can find a list of all the levels?

I did some google search but didn’t found anything.
On the Daoist forums they say that barely anyone even reaches level 4…

And here is what GPT provided – not sure how correct this is:

Also, judging the list from GPT, it seems some levels are easier to reach than others.
And higher level does not necessarily mean that it is something more difficult to obtain. For example, astral projection (levels 25-30) can be achieved within a few weeks and months of daily practive, while spiritual growth (level 11) can take many many incarnations…

In the end, I guess one needs to achieve and master all 72 levels and just the final levels?

In Mo-pai, basic astral projection is learned at very basic levels. At advanced levels, it is about projecting yang shen where the projection appears as the physical body and can do everything one can do physically and more.

Mo-pai is notorious for a lot of myth mixed with reality + commerce, so everything there should be consumed with a pinch of salt haha

It’s true. There is very little information. I have read that a full description of the next level can only be obtained from very trusted sources after reaching the preceding level. In addition, it takes 2 times longer to reach each successive level, but since the cultivator’s concentration level also increases, Bodhidharma had to sit in the cave for “only” 9 years.

Quote from the book:

The purpose of level one is to fill up the lower dantien with yang chi. The level one practice achieves this through a mixture of awareness meditation, lower abdomen breathing (or reverse breathing), and proper grounding. Accomplishing level one requires eighty-one hours of absolute meditation. It is estimated that a student who is just beginning can only hold his concentration for 2.2% of the time, which at this rate would take the average practitioner ten years of training at one hour per day.

Hi,

Just to share my experience. I bought it today and I noticed some subtle changes in my breathing pattern while meditating to it. I also noticed some heat in the belly area in the lower and upper regions, and a little pressure on the third eye and sweating hands. Meditating to it is quite a pleasant trance-like state. After the meditation, I felt more energetic and my mind was clearer, as well as feeling physically sharper and more alert.
