Is It Real: Superhuman Powers www.ifilm.com/video/2680648I saw this last night on TV. It was on the History Explorer channel or whatever. Anyways I just thought it was really interesting. If you could watch the whole episode it brings out a lot of good points in the psi world (even though they relate psi to chi (which is the same thing I think)) |

The hopping looks really fun, though. It's one step closer.

One step closer? If they had shown the supposed "third step" i would have been more convinced. But this is just... eh...

Well, I didn't really mean for that to be the whole point. If you actually watch the whole show there is a karate teacher that uses chi (aka psi here) to fight and knock out his enemies, and I don't know if the kid was his son or not, but there was also a little boy on there and he used the example of him making a chi ball (psi-ball). Really interesting stuff, just takes years and years of dedication and practice and I believe anyone can do it.

yeah, ok, but if it takes years and years, go get a really old one who can do something to show.
I'd be pretty happy as well if i just bounced around.

I would give anything to find someone around where I live that is a master at this kind of stuff. I wouldn't even know how to start looking for someone like that though. Just doesn't seem like that many people even know about this stuff.

1. I reckon that that was a trampoline in disguise as a matress... =/
2. Why would they do that sorta stuff at a University of MANAGEMENT?

lol that's not flying. That's called bouncing. Muscle strength, not mental strength. Also those mattresses are more bounce than a normal mattress. Sorry, that's not levitation.

Well, I'll be sure to see that. I guess it may have been "As seen on TV :-)"

I've seen a documentary on martial arts the other day on Discovery, and i wanted to see it again. I think it was called "The Ultimate Weapon" or something. It was a show with this guy who was a martial artist, and a champion, and then lost, and "retired" and now was coming back to see what he could do. And at the same time they showed all the martial weapons, like the saber, the katana, the nunchaku, the bo staff, the poleaxe, and the fists (which included chi). I really wanted to see that again.
