Any of you guys read 'The Magus of Java : Teachings of an Authentic Taoist Immortal' or 'Nei Kung: The Secret Teachings of the Warrior Sages' by Kosta Danaos?
According to the reviews and book descriptions on Amazon here is what people/publishers wrote:
"Kosta Danaos was accepted as an apprentice by John Chang, a Chinese-Javanese Taoist immortal and a master of nei kung. Unlike c'hi kung and other methods of mastering c'hi, nei kung uses the body's yin energy reserves to compress solar yang energy into the region of the body known as the dantien through meditation, breath retention, and physical exercises. The stored yang energy literally alters an individual's mental and physical makeup--it even modifies DNA structure--and gives the practitioner superior powers such as pyrokinesis, telekinesis, levitation, telepathy, and more."
"With objective skepticism, Mr Danaos seeks out Chinese internal master John Chang and is accepted as his disciple. The resulting book reveals the lessons and experiences that challenges Mr Danaos beliefs and eventually changes his whole reality. Master Chang could heal, can burn paper with Chi, being able to ignite newspaper by touch, feats like holding seances with the spirits ala Mesdame blavatsky and uses ki energy to knock down empty cigarette packets. Upon finding The Magus, he documents his study with him and often assures the reader how he tested the demonstrations to rule out trickery or scientific gadgetry or phenomenon. His engineering background gives credence to this. The author claims that additional experience and investigation with these pheonomena would benefit many people, and that it is time to open them up to the world. But at the same time Master Chang made a vow to his Master that he would never demonstrate his power for public display. He accepted the "Ring of Fire" documentary film only because he thought it was for scientific documentation and not for commercial use which he later found he was tricked by Dr. Blair, the producer of the "Ring of Fire". And that his address must be protected otherwise other chinese masters like him would come to challenge him in a duel."
I think you should use a magician rather than a scientist to test them as scientists have a poor track record in this area. In my experience very few of these 'masters ' will test their skills under controlled conditions. But maybe anything is possible especially since stuff as lightskill qigong can and has been done.
