You don't have the intent to stop the internal dialogue when you do yoga exercises

The intent to stop the internal dialogue doesn't automatically come along with Tensegrity, either. Actually, I've witnessed some people actually strengthen their internal dialogue (self-image) with the energy derived from the magical passes.

I heard a rumor that the passes should be done either with your internal dialogue off or in second attention, and that otherwise they're not effective...

That's horseshit. How can you pursue cessation of internal dialogue with the passes if the requirement for their functionability is the lack of internal dialogue?

I think many people should shut up and concentrate on actual training instead.

The magical passes are the only system that I've encountered this far that is so "otherworldly" in its intent. It's not just about balancing the energies of the physical body to get more vitality and longevity, it's about gaining awareness and control of the energy body and getting closer to second (and third) attention. There's a vast difference between the purpose and the scope of Tensegrity and, say, Qi Gong and Yoga, although some similarities can be noted. And I'm not trying to discredit other systems of practice in anyway, they do have their own purpose and they can be applied into warrior's life just like anything else from bodybuilding to self-immolation... go with your predilection.

Taijiquan (tai chi) is originally a martial art, i.e. it's about fighting and self-defence, and balancing and strengthening the energies of the physical body. I.e. it's for health and it's for fight. I haven't heard of a Taijiquan style that would emphasize the concept of second attention, recapitulation, dreaming attention and left/right side bodies. Practising Taijiquan or Yoga can effectively help you shut down your internal dialogue and raise your energy level to some extent, but the real question is about what you're doing with the newly acquired energy and silence?

I'm having an exercise in the art of eating right now, and I feel my inner silence growing. Now, what's the difference between eating and Tensegrity?
