I would like to discuss a little about the Nishino method of breathing.
It has been more than 20 years since I actually started this breathing method, and I have some experience and interaction with Dr. Nishino, so I would like to consider it based on that experience.
Recently, I had the opportunity to read a book by a philosopher named Bergson, and I felt that there are similarities between Dr. Nishino's teachings and Bergson's philosophy.
Bergson shares with Dr. Nishino the fact that he does not place as much importance on the human brain as common sense would have it.
Bergson says that the brain produces nothing, and Dr. Nishino often mentions that it is not good for people to be tied down inside their brains.
The brain only acts as a filter and does not produce anything.
In Nishino's terms, the brain does not produce anything artistic, but something more metaphysical is involved.
Bergson likewise does not claim to have mystical powers over the brain.
If you look at Dr. Nishino's writings, he adds a criticism against the tendency to say that the brain is amazing, and in this respect, he is in common with Bergson.
Dr. Nishino's argument is that the brain is not something that can be thought about and understood by the mind.
More specifically, qi is very difficult to measure.
In his later years, Dr. Nishino conducted experiments in which he injected chi into mice, and although he could measure the state of the mice after the injection, he could not measure the chi itself.
From a philosophical point of view, this may be natural.
Bergson also says that memory and evolution cannot be described mathematically.
They unfold on a time axis and not on a spatial axis.
It would be difficult to capture chi in mathematical dots and lines.
Just as human memory and evolution cannot be described mathematically, chi cannot be developed in space.
From a metaphysical point of view, I would say that chi does indeed exist.
Bergson also describes memory and evolution as "persistence," but he says that they do indeed exist.
Qi also exists, but it cannot be stored in a can because it is not deployed in space.
If we look at Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem, there is a paradoxical proof that there are propositions that cannot be mathematically proven but do exist.
In the field of set theory, it has been proven that there are infinities that cannot be added.
This is similarly true that there are things that cannot be mathematically manipulated but do exist.
I believe that chi is one such example.
If we try to capture it with our brain or intellect, it is almost impossible, and it is no wonder that Dr. Nishino said what he did.
As long as we are stuck in our brains, we cannot capture chi.
In the meantime, I have mentioned the above as a discussion about the brain.
I believe that if we look at it from a philosophical perspective with the Nishino method of breathing, we can gain a better understanding of the existence of ki and how to perceive it.
