Originally posted by cranberrydorkThis has nothing to do with anyone trying to convince us "qi is a backward idea."
Originally posted by cranberrydorkIt has everything to do with simple reasoning skills. If you can watch the "production" in question, and come away thinking, that could be!!!, then you absolutely must accept that a man in a cheap tuxedo could saw a beautiful woman into multiple parts....distribute the parts around a stage....then re-assemble the woman with no apparent damage. Or possibly that the man in the goofy top hat is actually transmogrifying wispy scarves into white doves.
Originally posted by cranberrydorkI'm not discounting the unknown abilities of the human mind and body. The problem is the disinclination for these people to withstand some scrutiny......ya' know, Ponzi schemes and other cons rely on the "mark's" reluctance to scrutinize what is offered. Hucksters count on it.
Originally posted by cranberrydorkMany people in this thread are claiming their thinking to be more advanced. Weird that is.
Originally posted by cranberrydork Funny, there is no problem with the scientific instrument (created as a result of science's effort) used during the video......without any doubt or reservations as to its validity.....yet, suggest that a formal test be done--with scientists--and suddenly.....SCIENCE SUCKS!!!!!
Originally posted by cranberrydork Finally......this thread is entertaining anyway.

If you've never studied, practiced or experienced chi, you really
have no business even commenting on whether its "real" or not.
How can you know something if you've never experienced it?
Ever heard of tai chi and how many people in the world practice
and are benefited by it?

I think this could be applied as easily to religion as Mike has pointed out. Let me change a few words around and show you.
If you've never studied, practiced or experienced Scientology, you really have no business even commenting on whether its "real" or not. How can you know something if you've never experienced it?
Why is it you know Scientology to be a fraud?
Apply that same reasoning to all you hold sacred and dear.
??????????????????????????????

Sorry, I have trouble explaining myself sometimes, I apoligize if you had trouble fallowing me.
You are taking what I said out of context from the original post. Furthermore I did not say look, in certain cimcumstances this can be observed, I said camera as in filmed.
Why do I believe them and not you, other than my own personal experiences and the fact that academic science is VERY SLOWLY catching up to these concepts? And the fact that there is no logical reason for subtle energy forces to not exist and plenty to suggest they do?
How is it nearly every long established belief system from all around the world wholeheartedly believe in a life force style energy? And saying it was just a simple way to explain what modern science knows now is not a viable answer.
Not so, everything has a grain of truth in it.
How can you know something if you've never experienced it?
"So give me a mother flippin break that "the energy can't be harnessed if someone smart is looking." That's such a load of bunk that the only person you could possibly by convincing with this kind of skewed logic is yourself."

I am really surprised that no one has mentioned Bruce Lee's famous one inch punch.(look it up)
I saw him do this and was amazed...
And secondly, yes. The energy can't be harnessed if someone is watching, and here is why...
heh.. I did bring this up.. A few pages ago.. But the debunkers in here failed to even touch that part..
So the debunkers want me to prove Chi energy.
Okay Right after you prove Gravity to me!!!
Please tell me what the nature of the spirit is.. Tell me just what Gravity is!!

I mean look at the instruments that Scientology use to measure "Theta Negative Energy". It might not be accurate at all because it is made by man.
