I wouldn't believe in the "power" through chi. Although I believe there is something in meditation, such as relief and calmness, not necessary powers. I do believe that nothing in this world is as it really is, it will be a very long time, maybe even never. Before we understand this world, space.
We are trying to understand this world right now, the only problem is that we aren't trying hard enough...Seriously, NASA is already exploring space and we haven't even established a city under water, or in the Sky (Yea, I am ripping off the Bioshock franchise)
souldevilj: maybe find that aussie student of his, learn from him, perfect this mystical art, come back when ur 80 to prove us all wrong.
