I was brought up in Hong Kong and most of the stories in the Chinese Super Psychics I have already heard about. My grandfather read stories of chinese children who can read from their ears to me when I was very young. Its funny how I came across these stories again in an English book years later. What can I say here !!! I enjoyed reading this book from the beginning till the end and I am reading it for the forth time.

This book also helps me to open my mind and keep on asking question about Qi and the universe. I recommand anyone to read it. Especially if you are working in the field of healing.

This book completely expanded my idea of what human beings are capable of with regards to psychokinetic and extrasensory abilities. Some of the feats that Dong describes seem beyond belief but the book is well documented and convincing. It is both a serious and humorous study of subtle-energy sciences in China. Reading China's Super Psychics will totally enlarge your view of yourself and many of the events described in the book will stay with you long after reading it. In my view, this is certainly one of the best books published on the subject of human paranormal ability. It leaves you wondering whether these abilities are really "paranormal," as we commonly believe, or perhaps are innate to all of us.

This is my - well, second favorite book as far as human potential goes - after "Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East" by Baird T. Spalding. This book, though, brings people who have developed some extraordinary abilities into the present tense.

As another reviewer noted, the author does repeat quite often "China is so great" tune, but it is also true that a lot of countries in the East have greater awareness and appreciation for working with energy, and have been cultivating it to a greater extent than people in the West. In the West, these awareness begin to spread more in the recent years. It was often put down by those who are immersed in studying the world as if nothing other than material world existed. From this book, though, it is obvious that even in China, there are many people who, due to lack of understanding that mind influences the energy which then expresses in physical dimension, they also had conflicts with accepting the reality of what they witnessed.

The author has correctly pointed out that when you use whatever mind-power you are able to express and when you take care to develop it - it grows - when you don't use it - it diminishes. This is true regardless of what skills any person may be using. It is also a way of economy in nature.

While there are few quotations in this book from the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine - as in "Be imperturbable and the true chi will come to you", this idea is not unique either to China or to Buddhism, it is a spiritual truth presented throughout all spiritual traditions. India's "Yoga Sutras of Patanjali" is yet another book that deals with development of different abilities, yet the idea is that one should not focus on development of special abilities (siddhis), but rather just focus on realizing Oneness (Self-Realization). This state of Oneness is in Christian Bible called entering the "Kingdom of God" - the method described as loving this Infinite Loving Power and Intelligence with all one's mind, heart, soul and strength. The goal of alchemy - either Eastern (Taoist) or Western is again realizing this state of Oneness and from this state, the powers begin to emerge spontaneously when needed. These powers are also intended to be used in service, out of love, not for selfish goals.

The highest visible vibration of this One Power - the Source of All Energy - is Light - so appropriately the method used to unleash these powers to which every human being does have access are meditations on the Light. With a quite a bit of children, mentioned in this book, who were helped in this process of unfolding inner power - it took only one such session to produce remarkable results.

The book mentions how there are many more women (girls) who have these "special powers" than men (boys). This is not all that surprising because it is generally considered that women's "heart centers" are more open than men's and Love is the highest feeling vibration, Love is the essential quality of this Infinite Energy.

The author then mentions how they have noticed that with most children these "special" powers begin to diminish after puberty. This may also not be surprising because a certain leakage of energy occurs due to loss of blood (menstruation) in women and loss of semen (in men) and I might add that for this reason, there are special practices in Taoist Alchemy to prevent these leakage and to preserve the energy. After all - all of these special abilities are based on "playing with energy" - opening the channels within to let it flow, generating it and directing it. Focusing upon - meditating upon the Source of All of this Energy is one way to connect with it and let it express - different forms of qigong energy cultivation and manipulation exercises are another.

This book examines the link between psychic phenomena and chi gong, plus the conditions for developing chi. It seems that to be good at chi gong demands a huge amount of time and patience. The Chinese that put the hours in, it seems, develop remarkable powers. The account of the psychic war between China and Japan is interesting. There is a reference to the Sun-Tzu Art of War about how the best strategy is to weaken the enemy's troops without engaging in fighting. ESP warfare could be a means of doing that. The ability to kill via ESP certainly looks to have been developed, but, as the highest chi gong masters point out, "There are people above people, and there are Heavens beyond Heaven", so humbleness and courteousness prevail. Some other topics in the book: telekinesis, the ability to walk through walls, psychic healing, the ability to read without using the eyes, the connection between psychic phenomena and UFOs. Not a book for those who would prefer to just believe in the conventionalities of Newtonian physics.

This book is very unique. The author is brilliant. And the book unveils what has been known for eons of time - but now science confirms ---The cosmic substance exists and it can be cultivated. No question about it. Buy the book and you'll grow in consciousness. A real eye opener.

if you want info about super psychics and not just I have heard info, then this book is for you.

it will change your view on what is real and what is not.

I recommend this book a lot.
If you only would buy one book about psychics then this should be the book.

This is a cool book about the possibilities of human potential. However it is very propagandic as well as wanting you to accept everything that was written without a shread of proof or the use of the scientific method. I read the book several times and do enjoy it, however it could be alot better and without all the "China is so great because we have powerful psycics" crud.

This book asks the reader to take practically everything the author says as fact. Many of the "Wonders" described are opening flower blossom's, using PK to move pills out of a sealed bottle, reading words (characters) in sealed envelopes, mass healings, and catching clothes on fire. I might be wrong, but any good stage magician can replicate these AND pull a rabbit out of a hat!

The foreward to the book is laughable, something I would expect to find in a "South Park" novel. Really..

If you can get past all of that, there is some interesting information to be found. If you're into Psychic Healing, Chi-Gong and the concepts of Chi, this book is worth a look.

I would be interested in seeing a Chi-Gong demonstration if one came to my city of Las Vegas.

As a fiction story this book will not dissapoint. Don't even for one second however, believe that any of the claims made by the author are true. A quick google search on this topic will give you almost ONLY webpages written by Drunvalo Melchizedek (a quack that talks to angels and is selling super water), who has 'outed' this story to begin with. If so much research has been done, why is there NOT ONE scientific article published on it (I did an extensive medline search, and I challenge anyone to show me an article published in a scientific journal). Really, over 30 years of research, and not one paper? I smell a rat.

It's very easy to write up a fantastic tale if noone can corroborate it. What's wrong about it is that they are presenting this absurd tale as fact to gullible people who are easily convinced and wish for pipe dreams. No wonder that real scientists can't generate interest in the public if this is what we have to compete with. Read it alone so noone can see you with it and take it for what it is: extremely imaginative fiction and VERY expensive toilet paper.
