It is an amazing book. Imagine reading an author that has had the same thoughts on the evolution of human civilization and physiology. Transition from western dominated civilization back to eastern.
I liked the book a lot, it told me stuff that somewhere in my body was already happening. It also made me get more in to chi energy and reestablish a connection with it. There was a lot of conformation in it for me, because of past books I've read about prana, orgone (Reich), quantum physics...

It's a good story, can't speak to its legitimacy but the story was good.
Ying ve yang üzerine yoğun bilgiler içeriyor. Taichi ve dengede kalmak üzerine bilgilendirici.
amazing book about the study of existence,and the study of life's energies called " neikung"
Detailed chapters on life force, yin and yang,the keris,reality,observation.
The powers of supernatural and paranormal are simple facts of life. A world of western science and eastern mysticism walk hand and hand.
this is a book about a man named john Chang,his powers are shocking to the western world,he demonstrates the impossible.

Book is written by an apprentice about his teacher. Kosta is an engineer and tries to connect western science with eastern.
Great content to introduce readers to the subject, including several insightful anecdotes.
Great book. A must read.
This book changed my life!
