He'd write a book, like he always does.
| “ | Interesting. . . that could be . . . I have heard a number of things like that in the past as well as things that differ from it. . How troublesome that the truth still eludes me. Why dont you humor me a little. If it is not any of the things mentioned above what might it be then. Suggestions anyone. Qigong something that the chinese have studied for over a thousand years. Countless treasures have been lost through time and misfortune. A whole life time devoted to Qigong may only reveal a single puzzle piece. Although some maybe knowledgable I think it is foolish to take the word of a single man as the final authority.So I have research many and read many interesting things. And I arrive in a room with many different accounts and opinions. Qigong is to complicated, to elusive to be mapped out like a simple math problem. It seems that many people experience many different things. While they all maybe accurate accounts they all can differ. Unique to each individual in some cases. I guess the answer I seek is waiting for me to find it. | ” |

True. Chinese have been researching this for 1000's of years, however even in modern day society, there is still little accepted evidence based research to show that it has any effect over that of placebo.
Granted, there may be some element of truth in that it is possible to do something at will for a practical benefit - but isn't this a loose basis for religion (I couldn't see, He touched me, and then I could see)
Humour you I dont need to humour you, you do a good enough job of making me smile as it is!
Tell me one thing though. If qi gong is so hard, so mystical, and yet so different from person to person, how will you ever know if you are doing it correctly Surely the basis to know if you are doing something right or wrong is to be able to conform to a common outcome (i.e. 10 people do the same thing, 10 [or statistically significant number] similar outcomes)
If 10 people does the same thing, and say on 3 people the desired outcome was achieved, 3 people nothing happened, and on 4 people something unexpected happened - would you say that the Thing that had been done was successful, useful or predictable Would you say that your desired outcome is achievable through this method I wouldnt.
