I begin my clarification on this node of thought.
What is a rock?
By current scientific methods, a rock is defined by it's physical properties, and subsequent effects when examined on other substances. These things can be, by
contemporary methods, defined, and therefore exist as a form or reality within our common understanding. But let us take that further.
Once I have defined what we call "a rock" we must then find ourselves asking even more questions, such as ok, where does it come from? A geophysicist will state
how it is formed,ie, volcanic, or sedimentary and then you can trace it back to the origins of early earth formation, then broken down into it's atomic form. Then one method in
the lead in this endeavor is to then ask ok, so if a rock is just atoms, then what are atoms?. Then the atom is broken down to it's tiniest forms to where we finally come to
a place where current theory and technology is at its limits. The point would and could take a turn to infinity, given time, and scientific endeavor. But the question still would
remain: What IS it? The why the who,the where the when.
The same can be said of the existence of anything, including Chi. So in reality, we really know so little about even the most trivial of matters.
When the experiment was done, the idea was to see the result of a claim of result from Chi power. Rather The opposite should have occurred. The study should have been on the
premise of claims to what Chi itself is, rather than the
existence of a Master's control over what he claimed. My point is, that if science wishes to prove the existence of something, they should examine the source, not the
vehicle or result for the most accurate analysis. My comments previously about undertaking the practice of Tai-chi or Chi-kung for example, follow these same lines.
To Get the best results on studying anything, one may want to immerse themselves on the thing being studied.
In most cases, the opposite would be true. But when trying to prove the existence of what is defined as the basic power source of life, just as extraordinary claims
need extraordinary proof, so do extraordinary mysteries need extraordinary methods to prove them.
With that said, there is a way to prove that Chi exists without any need for such devices.
1. You are alive. That in itself is proof positive. I am pretty sure no one would argue with that.
2.Give Chi-kung a try. Even the novice will feel something unexplainable, as it is less on the basis to "believe" and more on mechanics.
3. Remember, it takes tens of years of solid, die hard practice to build up your chi to the point where you can manipulate it.
4.Chi is no more mystical that your own life is. Which is pretty mystical enough.
5. Try this exercise diligently, and having done so, if after the result anyone can offer another explanation, I will be shocked. This exercise is repeatable as well.
Take a piece of black cloth and lay it on a table or floor. make sure the cloth is very dark.
Then point your index finger tips together and at first, have them rest approx. two inches from the cloth and about each fingertip should touch each other. Watch them
intently. Then slowly pull them apart to about a distance of 5 millimeters, then slowly bring them back together. Do this for ten minutes a day for one week. After a bit,
(sometimes minutes when first trying, sometimes after a week) you will start to see a discoloration of the air between the fingers. Focus on this area, and keep this
Kung (practice) up for one week. I am 100% sure you will see results before then. As you progress, you will start to see thin shimmering outline your fingers, then
with more practice, your hand, then your whole arm, body, and so on. NOTE: If this Kung is practiced for a year or more, the effects should be permanent. With the practitioner becoming fully aware of
Chi fields within not only living things, but also all matter.
Try it.
I am sure you will not be disappointed.
