3. What is Hu Fa Shen (护法神)? And what can he do?
The Hu Fa Shen (护法神) or Immortal mentor is an ascended spiritual being, that exists in the non-physical dimension, beyond the duality of Tai Ji (太极). It is assigned to you by duty and in the capacity of an instructor and teacher of the spiritual arts of self cultivation. Its job is to personally teach you how to practice Shen Gong (神功), Qi Gong (气功) and Jing Zuo Gong (静坐功), while preparing your body for the advanced alchemical transformations of the spirit to bring about the transmutation of Yin Shen (阴神) to Yang Shen (阳神), resulting in the complete purification of the acquired mundane conditioning and the birth of the radiant original mind or Yuan Shen (元神).
Some students can immediately form a telepathic connection to their mentor god and communicate from day one to learn and study from him/her, while other's take a little longer, but all are taught and guided in accordance with their needs, so that the ultimate goal of immortality may be achieved, one day at time.
4. Can one contact people at a higher level , like the teachers if one needs help or guidance ?
Your Hu Fa Shen (护法神) is your teacher, and you can always contact him/her, anytime of the day. If you'd like to contact another practitioner, you are more than welcome to do so. You will receive the contact details of the priests who perform the initiation and after the initiation you can contact them should you need additional guidance. They are normally level 2b and level 3 or higher.

When a student feels he is ready, he may ask his Hu Fa Shen (护法神) to be considered for examination, or if his Hu Fa Shen (护法神) deems the student to be ready, he may recommend him/her for examination. If the recommendation is accepted, then a different, examining Shen Xian (神仙) will carry out the examination, not your Hu Fa Shen (护法神).
