Am I missing something here?

It was merely a reply. No need to read much into it. Ignore it if you please.

but I just asked -
“Same Trick said:
What do you mean with “opponents internal aspects” ?”
Do you mean their mind ?

It's not their "mind" thats affected although its the mind that reacts to what the body feels or senses.

In your previous post, you mentioned it's low level skill, "It work in a psychological sense" "it's trickery" . ect.

Maybe you'er addressing something different ?

If you get a chance to watch the "Wang Peisheng Demonstrating Push Hands Complete Version" video,
It should be quite common in China on their channels its been out for quite a while.
A good video covering many aspects.

Master Gao, Zhuang Fei also explaines it quite well along with an interesting demo, that should be viewable
in China...

Yes I will look for the video, but my question was toward that you wrote - “ opponents “ and their “internal aspects “ - what do you mean with “ opponents internal aspects” ? Is it the opponents Yi, Qi ?

Since you are writing “opponent” that would mean someone opposing “you”, in what way does the opponent oppose with his internal aspects- projecting qi or a mental attitude toward you ?

That’s a fair question. By “internal aspects,” I don’t mean the opponent’s mind or intent specifically. It’s about how the body — shaped by internal alignment and intent — influences how someone reacts, often in subtle, structural ways rather than purely mental ones.

The body reacts to what the mind senses, and the mind reacts to what the body senses. Master Gao Zhuang Fei describes this interplay as the shifting states of “virtual” and “real” — a dynamic exchange between what is perceived and what is expressed.

This is why what’s shown in the video looks so different from “external” methods. It isn’t about acting on the opponent’s outside frame but about interacting with these inner conditions, which then manifest outwardly in their movement and balance. One way of looking at it....it can be explained in other ways that reference and depend on ones understanding of yi, qi...ect...directly something a little hard to discuss with out a common experantly frame work.
