In life, gong is what manifests the gong powers, or yogic "siddhis" but can only be unlocked through honest cultivation of high level qigong along with a compassionate heart/mind. Qi is the lower energy which moves along channels within the body. Qigong training opens these channels more and more so that the merge into one another and grow eventually surpassing the skin barrier and create a substantial, powerful field outside the body which can manipulate qi fields of other people.
3 body system: Physical biology, Subtle Body (Lower Consciousness), Extremely Subtle Body (Higher Consciousness). Qi is in the domain of Subtle body which is essentially the animating energy which courses through and enlivens Gross physical body. Gross and Subtle body both dissolve at point of death and only Higher CS remains. Qigong= cultivating qi energy and cultivating gong energy. Cultivated gong does not dissolve at death but transmits across lifetimes.
!! I just found this book at my university's library and came on youtube to see if there was any video of Shi Ming. This is absolutely the most profound book on martial arts I have ever read...sort of the esoteric twin to the exoteric Book of Five Rings. Thank you for pointing out that it is in fact the author :D
Ok help me out here i understand chi i know what it can do ive seen some pretty wild stuff happen with it and other stuff, But all the things ive seen it can be used on other people or they are able to witness the same. It was not a form of MASS Hisstaria or a trick but reall now. Just for a min explain to me why these masters of chi cannot perform this on anyone single individual. at any time. Im not knocking it or being disrespectfull just wondering the diffrence.
Not to be overly critical, but this is a supposed level of advancement far beyond what it is Chi is actually capable of. There are amazing things you can learn, to control your body tension & stress level through the use of Chi...but you cant move it outside your body & use it to control someone else. Are there demonstrations of his students performing these techniques @ diff. levels of expertise? I somehow doubt it. Love to see these "techniques" used in a 19th c. challenge match.
i will translate this book for mine self. it`s really hard to find truly advanced master who don`t afraid writing book for people from west . mastery of thai chi - master don`t need to touch enemy to hide against his attack , it looks like shield turning back force like his american student said 'more violence i put to affect him , more is turning back to me, not his but mine own violence'
in poland where i live i went to tai chi school, there was woman teacher with license , so i asked can she help me make better mine energy and mind concentration , she told me that i should go yoga and try meditation cause here is just gymnastic , it was horrible experience .

Don't have scanning facilities sorry. The book is $2.17 plus postage on Amazon. Well worth the value.
It is difficult English though....if English is not your native language, you might find it very hard reading.
