One of the big bugaboos in the martial arts is the question of Chi (often called Ki). Chi is that mysterious energy that builds in martial artists until they can do superhuman feats. They can break stone, put out flames at ten feet, cause death in an assailant at twenty feet.
Most of these superhuman stories have never really been proven. Yes, there are people who can break rocks with their bare hands, and I have seen people who could put out candles even while standing across a room. But as for killing somebody without even touching them...hey, I'm still alive!
In my eyes and thought, however, this doesn't disprove the fact of Chi. The things I have seen over time, as a matter of fact, make me firmly believe in the existence of Chi. Unfortunately, so many people do not understand what Chi is in our society, and don't even understand the concept, that their group beliefs alone would cause a lack of development of Chi in the individuals of our civilization.
On the basic level, Chi is the source of body energy, and it is located approximately two inches below the navel. This energy can be cultivated by proper diet, elimination of our sins, good exercise, and a generally healthy lifestyle. The benefit of this energy is good health into old age, resistance to illness, and a cheerful outlook on life.
On the level at which most people think when they are thinking of superhuman feats, the mysterious level of Chi, Chi is a matter of properly cultivated thought. This level is developed through disciplined methodologies which enable us to go beyond what we consider is humanly possible. In actuality, this disciplined thought is the fact of lowering the radio static quality of think in our minds, and leaving us with the calm of no static, which is who we really are.
Let us say Joe Blow practices a tried and true method of chi cultivation, which would be a martial art that is not eclectic, and has not been denuded of the power in its design and propagation. Through the disciplined practice of that art Joe Blow becomes intent on what he is doing, and he stops thinking while he is doing, and he starts doing purely.
The excess distractions in his mind lessen, and the fact that he is a human is pushed into the background, and he starts to realize the truth of who he is without a body. Some people, during the practice of pure discipline, even experience their existence from outside the body. It doesn't matter how a person experiences this phenomena, they are still left with the truth of who they are...and it is this truth which enables them to perform superhuman deeds.
