Thank you.

This is a request for permission to unhide posts hidden by other users in my PPF. Recently another user requested I not "unhide" posts they had hidden there. I want to make certain I have explicit permission from the staff before doing so, so I can't be punished after the fact. Thanks.

"Whenever there is evidence or not, Divine status ain't going nowhere. It does not depend on lowly scrubs like you to believe in it." Obviously, it matters to you or you wouldn't be here on this forum continuously making claims about your powers and divinity.

Frequently we are called fundamentalists and believers, which is the most offensive attack that can be thrown at us. As a freethinker, I base my beliefs on my own personal observations and the best objective evidence available to me. We are not accepting things on faith, but rather objective evidence, direct observation, and reason. We are open to any other teachers or systems that can provide at least as much objective evidence as John did, but we refuse to accept teachers or teachings without good objective evidence with scientists and medical doctors present to attempt to rule out fraud. Our position is not one of blind faith and dogma, even though people here love to hurl such accusations.

"If Chang had no abilities they had to make it up and then tell him to hide." The researchers included: the head of the Mind Science Foundation, a Ph.D. in neuroscience, and a medical doctor. They stripped the subject to his shirt and underwear and used a metal detector to check his body for metal. They received an indoor demo, then went outside for a second demo. They assumed some device on the property was causing the effect, so they took the subject to a random location for a third demo. Gregory V.

"Jim demonstration is even more doubtful He could not do it by himself When he did it, it could be a wind flow. Or even more simple it could be a wire. The camera shows only limited angle, where JC stands does not see well." This was a home video of him passing his exam, no scientists or medical doctors were present. Jim, however, did claim to go to the bathroom and close the door and test it while the yin field was present and claims to have been able to recreate the same result in the bathroom. "JC was a multimillionaire when he stopped contact and those guys believe he never took any money for his work." John became wealthy because of his prawn farm and was oath-bound never to accept money even donations from students or patients. "Call a group of people who have Ph.D. pay them 500$ each (Ph.D. is not worth anything by 2018) Stage some circus tricks, from levitation to telekinesis Create a system that requires 10-20 years of hard work." You claim to be able to drink tea with demons, talk to Gods, claim to be a literal God yourself, claim to raise an army of the undead and create inter-dimensional portals, and exist as a breatharian. While I would have loved to see John come to the USA and go to every major university to prove himself, the little he did provide us is still better than what you have which is absolutely nothing. We have no evidence at all other than your testimony for your divine status. So please, by all means, keep slinging the mud about how John is a fraud, but at least he volunteered to be investigated by a team of scientists and medical doctors.

"There appear to be a lot of people on this forum who claim to possess or have witnessed paranormal phenomena. Now as this is a serious matter, subjective experiences and anecdotal stories are not considered as solid scientific proof." You wanted evidence of PK without subjective experiences or anecdotal stories. I don't think the output from a true RNG is going to convince anyone of anything. Supposedly there was a huge anomaly in the global consciousness project at Princeton before 9/11, but everyone just yawns about that.

"The camera is not an observer at all." "With them, there is an impartial observer that can show everyone what really happened. That fosters trust. And that trust is essential to the success of local police departments, and to the safety of both officers and citizens." "It is not capable of ... interpretation" Police wear body cams and people install dash cams because there is no he said she said nonsense. What actually occurred is recorded, no agenda, no spin, no bias, no slant just the raw data as it occurred. It is by definition objective, as opposed to subjective. "not good enough to call it scientific or proof of anything." We say it is objective evidence because by definition it is. There was also a team of scientists and medical doctors who did their best to rule out fraud. You are correct it does not prove they missed a device. They may have missed something in his body and this may be a hoax. The event did however occur and was objectively recorded hoax or no. "That’s an assumption you may be willing to make, not me." Well, I suppose you are free to believe they were in on the hoax and willing to get egg on their face and be laughed at by their colleagues for the few bucks that Lawrence Blair bribed them with.

"You’re underestimating Chris" Stripping someone to a shirt and underwear, using a metal detector to check their body for devices, and taking them to a random location you choose is about as good as we can do short of an x-ray to rule out nonmetallic devices inside a body cavity.

"You can soak the paper in it, too." Lawrence Blair claimed to have provided the newspaper for the demonstration.

"As we've discussed before, objective and anecdotal are not mutually exclusive." https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anecdotal "1. based on or consisting of reports or observations of usually unscientific observers" https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/objective 1b : of, relating to, or being an object, phenomenon, or condition in the realm of sensible experience independent of individual thought and perceptible by all observers : having reality independent of the mind - objective reality 3a : expressing or dealing with facts or conditions as perceived without distortion by personal feelings, prejudices, or interpretation "certainly anecdotal." This is not someone's personal testimony of what occurred. That is what anecdotal means, someone giving your their observation or report. The evidence was captured on video. It is not anecdotal as the camera is an impartial observer. A person with a Masters degree in English and a person with a PhD. in physics weighed in it is objective by definition. You can argue that the researchers missed a device and this was a hoax, but you cannot argue it didn't occur. "Scientists and medical doctors have no training in and are not experts in exposing fraud, they simply have no idea what to look for." Gregory V. Simpson, Ph.D. is a neuroscientist, formerly the Director of the Dynamic Neuroimaging Laboratory at UCSF, Co-Director, Dynamic Brain Activity Imaging Laboratory at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and a Senior Scientist at the Brain Plasticity Institute. John was stripped to his shirt and underwear and checked with a metal detector in an effort to rule out devices in his body. He gave a demo indoors, outdoors, and then at a random location, the researchers chose to rule out devices hidden on his property. That is about as good as it is going to get Steve, yes maybe they missed something but I feel this was their best effort and done in good faith. Perhaps an x-ray would have given extra reassurance there were no devices the metal detector missed. "You could take a whole team of scientists and doctors to a Chris Angel show and it's highly unlikely they could expose his tricks..." If a team of researchers stripped Chris Angel to a shirt and underwear and checked him for metal at a random location they chose he'd have a very hard time smuggling devices to produce a current like John.

I have the original DVDs for the Ring of Fire: An Indonesian Odyssey Documentary. Afterward, he stomps out the newspaper which Lawrence Blair provided, there is no sticky residue from a hidden plastic bag containing chemicals. " .... no wonder you dont get its fake ! " I am much more interested in the newer footage of him with a team of scientists and medical doctors present doing their best to rule out fraud.

"What do you mean by " frame by frame " ?" Videos are made up of frames or still images. Usually, you see about 30 frames per second. "This above parroting has already been addressed in detail" There is has been lots of ear plugging and humming but no real addressing.

The event did happen and it was objectively captured on video. You can argue that the researchers missed something, or that they were in on the hoax if you like though.

This video is much better. The researchers included: the head of the Mind Science Foundation, a Ph.D. in neuroscience, and a medical doctor.

A higher resolution video here. Frame by frame I see no wet spots. That however would be a more convincing demonstration if scientists and medical doctors were present to investigate and rule out fraud, like his most recent video.

"Andreas had the idea of bringing Lawrence Blair* into the project, as a filmmaker who had already witnessed what our Master could do, and because Ring of Fire had been our introduction to John in the first place. It was a good idea. The next morning I boarded a plane for Bali and began looking for Blair. ... I brought the two men together that week, with the intent of having Lawrence do a second documentary employing the existing footage he had from Ring of Fire. Apparently that meeting went very well because John reached an unexpected decision: Dr. Blair was given permission to shoot a new documentary on John, with Henky’s assis- tance." -Kostas Dervenis aka Kostas Danaos TMOJ p150

Carbon disulfide mixed with phosphorus is a liquid. I always find it remarkable that those who think magick is real work the hardest to discredit something when good evidence is provided. The newer video of John with the team of scientists and medical doctors is the best demonstration, not this one.

"but it wasn't this that brought me back, He had tracked me down out of the blue and invited me to tell me a story, he had just returned from two years on a deep meditational journey alone in the heart of Borneo. Amongst his revelations he had seen he said how history was moving on into great change and the old wisdom was vanishing. So he had called me back to film just enough of him to remind us that we all have all have undreamed of powers sleeping within us and that there's nothing special about him except his training in waking them. " -Lawrence Blair "Nobody with a degree or reputation can make the fake real, but most people can be conned by a pro." John never charged any student or patient anything. A team of medical doctors and scientists stripped him to his shirt and underwear and checked him with a metal detector to rule out metallic devices in his body. They got a demo indoors, repeated it outdoors, and then took him to a random location they chose to rule out devices on his property. They might have missed something and it was actually a hoax, but I believe they made their best effort to rule out fraud. This is not something a street performer would go through with.

John was the one that called Lawrence Blair to film him again. He invited a team of scientists and medical doctors to investigate him. If you don't like it too bad.

"I have one. You can see it perfectly in any room." I bought one when you first started posting this nonsense. The reviews about it on amazon are correct. Those are taken from the amazon page, it has 2 stars. "That "John Chang" video is standard "street-performer" stuff." I disagree, street performers don't invite a team of scientists and medical doctors to investigate them. John also never charged any student, or patient anything.

I'll have to disagree with you there.

As noted on the package you have to scuff your feat around, even then if you read the 2 star reviews most people are only able to see such an effect in a dark room. In John's demo he was standing still, not scuffing his feet, and the LED was lit brightly. "And the fire stunt is done by dissolving yellow phosphorus into some carbon disulfide." No such fire demonstration was present in either video I posted. In this video the researchers included: the head of the Mind Science Foundation, a Ph.D. in neuroscience, and a medical doctor.

"subjective experiences and anecdotal stories" This is neither subjective nor anecdotal, it is objective.

You should always make sure your beliefs are grounded in good objective evidence and your own observation. You are not missing out on anything by not having faith or a belief in magic. There is nothing more than our natural universe, all that is here is natural. Having said that we are just apes on floating space rock. Our science is not nearly as advanced as we believe it to be. There are things we do not believe exist or occur that do indeed exist and occur, but that doesn't make them supernatural. I know that my training in this system has been one of the most profound experiences in my life, and continues to show me just how little we know about reality.
