CHINA'S SUPER PSYCHICS A Book Review On January 3, 1987, in the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee Training Centre, in Beijing, an official test was conducted where a Chinese psychic transported 44 medicine pills out of a sealed bottle and also sent into the bottle a piece of candy. The test was conducted under scientific circumstances with government witnesses. The individual who conducted the test is named Zhang Baosheng. Zhang and other people with the ability to demonstrate high levels of external pranic power have been termed by the Chinese Government as having "exceptional human functions", commonly referred to as EHF. People with these abilities are now viewed as national treasures in China. Zhang Baosheng often demonstrates his amazing powers on Chinese television and he is a nationwide celebrity in China. It is reported that Zhang has such high levels of abilities that one foreign government sent an agent to China to offer him US$20 million to invite him to their country for "research" activities. He refused. One of his most astounding exhibitions is the movement of a 100lb sack of sugar through the walls of a storehouse, with it ending up sitting in front of the scientific witnesses. Zhang also has a tendency for playing practical jokes, and with the abilities that he has at his disposal this can have fairly dramatic consequences. After he received the gift of a luxury auto from a Hong Kong billionaire, he took to driving it around town but often broke the traffic rules and got tickets. Baosheng takes his tickets with a smile, but when the traffic officers return to the station they can never find their copy of the tickets, which have disappeared without a trace. Since he became known for this, police officers get out of the way when they see his car coming and no-one bothers him anymore. If he can make traffic tickets disappear no-one wishes to have an argument with him. Zhang Baosheng is a military battalion commander in rank and privilege, but without an actual battalion. He worked as a public safety officer for some years. In 1990 his psychic powers had not fully manifested and he had lesser abilities. When these powers were discovered, he was given a low level security job, which was riding on buses and catching thieves. He was able, at that time, to easily detect thieves in the act and apprehend them. It is thought that the continuing use of these powers assisted him to develop to higher levels. One of the primary scientists in China, amongst very large groups studying these subjects, is Dr Quin Xuesen. Dr Quin is one of the senior Chinese scientists with an extraordinary professional background in science and technology. Dr Quin has proposed that the only way to develop Chinese medicine, is to use modern scientific systems and terminology, pulling it apart from the ancient methods and philosophies and creating a theory expressed in terms of modern science. For example, the Chinese concept of Yin and Yang, that is negative and positive principles, has been related to various deficiencies in the blood stream, which are understood in Western medicine. Dr Quin says that Qigong, Chinese medicine and Exceptional Human Functions are three parts of the same system, and an approach that can deal with Chinese medicine and Qigong will help the development of EHF research as well. Because Qigong is popular in China today, thousands of people with EHF have appeared there. It may be asked why EHF wasn't discovered earlier? Why did it take until 1979 to be discovered? The feeling is that this is not the case and that the EHF phenomena existed and was reported throughout ancient Chinese texts, but in those days it was believed that those people were Gods, not men. Dr Quin says "What the ancients call Gods could be called people with EHF. They didn't understand what it was at that time, so they called them Gods." In 1979, on March 11, the 'Sichuan Daily' reported an amazing news item to the whole country. It said its reporters along with the provincial secretary of the Communist Party had discovered that Tang Yu, a 12 year old, could read with his ear. When this was tested and found to be so, that is, he could read words and sentences written on paper when they were held to his ear, this led to a great confusion in the scientific and intellectual world. When this was publicised, numerous other children stepped forward, or were discovered and tested, and found to have similar abilities. The gender breakdown is approximately twice in young females to males, and the abilities tend to diminish from the time of adolescence in many cases. This information, created a very aggressive backlash in China which of course, is very conservative in many regards, and was widely maligned as being unscientific and impossible, even though extensive evidence was available for those who cared to view it. Thus, a to and fro argument in the media went on for some time, but finally the actual physical evidence was overwhelming and the stories continued to be reported even though conservative forces wanted them repressed. Now over 100 scientific and academic institutions in China have taken part in the initial stages of EHF research. They found that, in general, the gifted children possessed strong, fairly stable powers, around the ages of 10-13, but after they reached the age of 15, their powers would gradually weaken. There were exceptions however, and some people maintained their powers into adulthood. There were many forms of EHF testing, e.g. reading without seeing, the breaking of twigs without touching them, in fact the breaking of twigs from other rooms, the ability to make flower buds blossom, the capacity to do incredible mathematical feats instantaneously, etc. Over a period of time widespread testing was applied in China to establish just what proportion of children had EHF abilities, and the results were quite extraordinary. The success rate nationwide was in the 30-40% range. These tests were conducted with elementary school students across the country. In an amazing result, which came from Shanghai, the average for the whole city was 60% including 30% of children who developed the abilities after only one session, while the remaining 70% required several sessions attempting to do the EHF experiments successfully, to bring out their powers. It is thought that one of the primary reasons for the high proportion of EHF individuals in China compared to western countries, is the difference in diets that is found in those economically deprived areas, producing the most super psychics. For this reason it is doubtful that the US could have large numbers of super psychics since the rich diet produces, essentially, people who are overweight. Consequently, China and India seem to be the countries producing the highest proportion of those with EHF abilities. The Chinese Government has encouraged and effected EHF testing for the obvious military implications of being able to utilise these abilities, and this is something that no doubt to which the western powers will, in due course, respond. ======================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: *Michael Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends ======================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
