Would this be a good example of the mastery of Chi?:


What a wonderful clip RK, never seen that one before. I'm going to copy to an old friend who is a Tai Chi master of the Yang family. Thanks.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.

I heard back this morning from one of two friends that I sent a link of this clip to. Both have been practising Tai Chi, Pakua, Hung Kuen and other Chinese martial arts for around 40 years. My friend had seen this clip about five years ago and, curiously, his wife, who is Russian, knew the director of the documentary (an old flame) and so they asked him about the footage to see if it was genuine or faked. The doco makers assured them that it was genuine. He had been on the table and felt the burst of Chi.

And here things get strange. In the footage the narrator says that the Dynamo Jack disappeared for many years. He went deep into the forest to live because the CIA were after him to learn about his powers. I suppose they wanted to know about his meditation techniques. And then after he came back to relative civilization he had that dream of his late master, Liao Tsu-Tong chastising him for showing off and causing harm.

I note also that the pose of him meditating in a standing position with his elbows drawn back and his palms facing upwards is a classic martial arts pose, which comes as no surprise, because Dynamo Jack, whose real name was John Chang, was a practitioner of Nei Kung (Chi Kung) and as you see from the link provided (HERE) the (first drawing) is of Yang family Tai Chi grand master Yang Cheng Fu, demonstrating a Chi Kung Fu and Tai Chi form called Fan Through the Back.
