John Chang is a doctor and practitioner of Qi Gong in Indonesia. In the late 80's, two British documentarians (Lawrence Blair and his brother Lorne) made a series of what were basically travel documentaries focused on the volcanic islands of Indonesia.
During the filming of these documentaries they stumbled upon a local healer with what appear to be abilities beyond the current understanding of science.
In addition to the video footage, in the past westerners have been able to seek out Chang and train under him. A Greek engineer did so for years and wrote a book trying to apply a scientific approach to what he witnessed and experienced. This book really shines an interesting light on not just the what observed in the video, but investigates possible answers for the how as well as just being a highly engrossing book.
I believe John Chang is by far the most convincing case of human potential exceeding the limits set by our current paradigms. A thorough look into him and the mystery around him is able to shine a light on the many dark and seemingly disconnected areas that conspiracy research takes us.
Wim Hof’s practice has a lot of overlap with this, as does g-Tummo yoga:
If it actually were selected for the book club I would absolutely expect skeptics from this forum, and they would be welcomed! This topic is obviously jarring at first, what better way to approach it could there be than “chewing the fat”
Totally fair! I admit, the framing of this post was about 70% “I just want to post it”, 29% “it’s been a while since the book club finished their last book” and maybe 1% because I actually thought I’d be able to convince the regulars here to pick this crazy story.
I think it’s among the most interesting things I’ve ever come across. Opinions will always differ but I think an honest look at the video, book, related schools, and any potential counter-arguments or “debunks” will leave any seeker of truth with new avenues to pursue with their own treasures to discover.
Weird I thought this was going to be about the programming language
Lol! Yeah not the easiest thing to convey in a title

I've no objections to the book itself, I just prefer fiction for book clubs.

If it's an interesting story I don't see any problem with it. Whether everything described is actually true or scientific isn't relevant.
