Almost exactly 2 years ago in Oct 2007, I wrote this post on my old Multiply blog. In that post, I recalled an incident in my childhood where I went to watch a qigong demonstration. The mental image of that demonstration stayed with me ever since and I've wondered for years, how did he do it?
One fine day, I just happened to figure it out. Confident that I have the correct answer, I wrote my conclusions in that blog post but to date, I have yet to have a chance to witness a similar event in order to prove my own hypothesis.
Recently, I chanced upon a video of an 'energy blast demonstration' (WTF, phrase also macam comic book) that is similar to the above qigong crap.
The mechanics is simple. The first 'lifting' is carried out in completely different circumstances from the second 'lifting'. Watch the video, use a bit of logic, and you'll what I mean.
Feels good; satisfying myself with debunking the bogus nonsense above. Today, I've also become more convinced that in the most part, 'practitioners' of Traditional Chinese Medicine are just full of bullcrap and we as Chinese (or even Asians in general) have for generations been misled and conned big time. I'll put in writing why a lot of the things the Chinese believe in are utter lies. Will do so when I have the energy and time.
