DANGERS of CHI:
Jinn possession in some Qi Gong (chi kung), tai chi, martial arts and meditation practices

"My Story"
An experience of Jinn possession
From http://www.dangerofchi.org/mystory.htm

It is my belief that those reading My Story will fall into one of the following
camps:
(i) The reader will be greatly interested by the information either for
personal reasons or mere curiosity
(ii) The reader will be experiencing a very similar problem themselves
with no one to turn to
(iii) The reader will think I am a religious nut trying to propagate his
ideology or is psychologically impaired in some manner

I can assure you the latter is definitely not the case, I am simply
describing what happened to me and my experiences with no alteria
intention other than to publicize the dangers of the esoteric internal arts.
All the facts you are about to read are completely authentic.
My History of Martial Arts
I began learning martial arts over a decade ago, I was always very keen
and took great interest not only in the physical sciences of the art but also
the spiritual aspects. I studied many systems during this time including
both Japanese and Chinese systems (both northern and southern systems
as well as internal and external systems). All my instructors were of the
highest calibre, including a Shaolin Monk from China, Grand Masters and
national champions (and if I was to provide you with their names I dont
think anyone would dispute their skill and genuine martial arts lineage)
It was upon learning the internal system known as the Five Animal system
of Spontaneous Chi Kung (Wu Qin Xi) which is an internal system which
involved involuntary movements following the discharge of energy into
the practitioner that my insight into the world of Martial Arts was to take a
turn for the worse. Never before had I learnt a system which resulted in
induced trance like and altered states of consciousness which ostensibly
improved health and martial arts prowess. I soon began channeling the
energy (Chi) and creating a mini mirco-cosmic orbits around myself. In
addition my instructor would adeptly summon the energy (Chi) and
transmit and project it into his students with stunning transitory results of
improved health and increased physical strength. As the years passed on
and I earned my instructors trust as I passed through all the Five Animal
stages, he would boast that I was becoming a very powerful student and
that soon I would soon be able to heal people myself, this made me even
more eager to master this science. The principal of using martial arts as a
fighting art was always sound, but using it for the betterment of others
was an even greater incentive to learn, this was by no means a
contradication but merely the flip side of the ability to kill and heal. And
indeed I was aware of the body of scientific evidence which supported this
claim. See Five Animal Frolics.
Beginning Symptoms
During this time I started to experience unusual sensations. This began
with paralysis between the state of wakefulness and sleep as if something
was constricting me just as I woke up in the morning, to feelings of
vapours of energy around myself, particularly at night when my body was
arrest and in a state of repose at night during sleep. Furthermore other
students of this system also experienced the similar things but my
instructor always eloquently countered any assertions of the supernatural
by saying the Chi was simply opening up dormant chambers of the body &
brain and that such feeling were completely natural. The instructor went
as far as saying had we been practising such systems a century ago we

would likely be convicted of practising magic & witchcraft, and that is only
lately (i.e.19th century) that chi has been examined and studied
scientifically, infact some ignorant Chinese & even non-Chinese scientists
have suggested that it is no more than bio-electromagnetic energy (see
Phd thesis "Qi & Biolectromagnetic Energy" York University). Certainly I
was aware of the body of scientific evidence purporting the health
benefits of Qigong & Chi (see The Qigong Institute). I thus as a gullible
young student continued with my study of this system determined to
master it always mentally finding an excuse to explain away these
symptoms.

It was upon doing some prelimary research on the subject of Sleep

paralysis which consists of a period of inability to perform voluntary
movements either at sleep onset (called hypnogogic or predormital form)
or upon awakening (called hypnopompic or postdormital form) that I
began to discover that this was often associated with withcraft and magic
throughout history, where the term the old Hag was frequently used and is
still used to describe a demon, ghost, etc. that sits upon their victim's
chest, causing paralysis and sometimes making it hard to breathe. I
decided to investigate further and read a book bought by my brother titled
"The Exorcist Tradition in Islam" By Dr. Bilal Philips University of Wales. In
it the author describes these symptoms of sleep paralysis as the
beginning signs of demonic/jinn possession. However still not adequately
convinced of any sinister goings on I decided to continue my interests in
the martial arts.

Visit by Abbot & Shaolin Monk and the Statue of Buddha

I also observed the statue of Buddha we had in our temple would become
of more central importance in our classes. Our instructor (Sifu) would
channel his energy into the enormous statue that occupied a large corner
of the hall. The significance of the Buddha was to become further
exemplified following a visit by the Abbot Shi Yon Xian into our temple,
where upon he performed a ceremony which involved the statue of
Buddha, he channeled an enormous amount of Chi into the Buddha (at
which point many Sifus that were present in the audience reported feeling
the powerful energy of the Abbot pass into the Buddha, some even
reported seeing bright lights, and indeed this energy was to remain in the
despicable idol. He was accompanied by a Shaolin Monk that our Sifu
instructor had invited to teach, and much of the world media was present.
The Abbot of the Shaolin Temple, aided by Shaolin Warrior Monk Shi Yan
Tzi after blessing the Temple School's Buddha then consecrated the
building as a branch of Shaolin Temple.

During this visit afer the ceremony, there was an amazing display of
Wushu martial arts by the Shaolin monk, this involved a Shaolin form and
four extraordinary displays of Chi Kung, the first being the Shaolin Monk
taking powerful Gow Choi (hammer fist technique) strike by an
experienced martial artist in the solar plexus with no noticeable side
effects, followed by a similar strike this time with the aid of a tree trunk
and four students ramming it into the stomach of the Monk. In the third
display Monk Shi Yan Tzi took two volunteers from the audience and made
them stripe off their shirts. He then positioned them in a sort of a bowing

position, this he said was for their own safety. The Monk then summoned
up his chi power. This took two or three minutes. Standing a good ten feet
from the two volunteers, he reached out hes hand and made a slow
downward clawing motion. When the volunteers turned around, each had
clearly visible red claw marks down his back. A murmur of surprise went
around the room and the Chinese camera crew moved in to take close-up
shots o the phenomenon. The curious bowing posture the two volunteers
took up was so that the Chi power projected by Monk Shi Yan Tzi wouldn't
strike the volunteers square on. If it had, it would almost certainly have
injured them. I was later to discover that Shaolin Monks don't
normally perform this act of Red Sand Palm technique in public,
the Abbot later chastised the younger Monk for performing this
as the powerful Chi could have been captured by someone in the
audience with ill intent. Even after this remarkable display of inner
power, Monk Shi Yan Tzi's demonstartion wasnt over yet. Choosing from a
pile of bricks, the Monk built a brigde with three bricks that he could use
as a pillow. He then went through a short series of excercises to focus his
Chi power in his head region. He laid his head down on his brick pillow and
placed another column of three bricks on top of his head. He then asked
our Sifu to brick another brick down as hard as he could onto the brick
column. Upon doing this incredibly all three bricks on top of the monks
head and the brick beneath forming the span of the bridge shattered. To
tumutuous applause, the Monk bounced to his feet, smiling and waving
and completely unharmed by the massive blow delivered. It was a
spectaculor display of the power of Chi witnissed first hand by me and
many others including the world media. In awe of Monk Shi Yan Tzi's skill I
was to remain with him for several years.(see for Monk Shi Yan Tzi)
When the Abbot went back to China I observed several notable changes in
our temple, Sifu was now no longer summing chi his normal way but
rather now going up to the Buddha to attract/summon Chi (this was of
coarse because the Abbot had passed his very powerful Chi into it) and
students too were approaching the Buddha to get charged up (this was a
term used to denote the initialization into the Five Animal state). I too
observed when in the Gong state (Five Animal Frolics) would some how
subconsciously be me drawn unexplainably to the Buddha for no
discernable reason. The statue of Buddha was suddenly becoming the
nexus of the Temple School and the roots of idolatry were taking fold. (see
Buddhism: An Idolatrous Religion)
Discontinuation of Martial Arts & Symptoms Getting Worse
After some time due to other commitments notably work I had to
discontinue my pursuits in the martial arts. It was also during this time by
complete coincidence that my instructors school closed due to internal
politics.
Over this period I gradually started to experience further unusual
symptoms I had never before experienced: paralysis, muscle spasms,

unusual dreams, vapours of energy , unusual sounds & movements in my

stomach, feeling of making growling sounds, sensations of crawling
around the body i.e. formication, feeling of something moving around
inside my body (almost thrashing around with great speed), numbness in
legs following adopting sitting positions, desiring to cry at moments with
no motive, paranoia, declining mental acumen (exhibiting itself in memory
loss, inability to concentrate, limited lateral thinking and analytical skills),
vomiting sensations, and strange clicking sound in my bedroom. In fact I
became so used to these symptoms that I couldn't even remember what
is was like to be normal again.
It must be stressed that it was only after the inception of my study of the
internal arts that all these symptoms were to occur, prior to this I had
always been healthy and was of sound mental intellect. Not knowing what
was wrong with myself I bore this sickness but chose not to seek a cure
through western medicine fearing they would misdiagnose me and fill me
full of drugs or even think I was making it up or that I was psychologically
imbalanced.
On Holiday
Whilst on holiday to an Islamic country one of my relatives spoke of a man
that performed exorcisms on people. Again not knowing what was wrong
with myself, only that I had the above symptoms, I thought what harm
would there be in visiting such a person. I really had very little believe in
the supernatural and magic. I always took it for granted that such things
existed but no more than that, and as someone educated in the West, my
mind set was more inclined to wanting tangible proof of something backed
up with empirical evidence to support any claim.
HOWEVER ALL THAT WAS ABOUT TO CHANGE!!!
Meeting The Sheikh
I booked an appointment to see the sheikh who at this point I new very
little about. On the day that I went to see him my uncle accompanied me.
Upon entering the Sheikhs premises/building I discovered a very religious
theme all around me i.e. Islamic material and writing on the wall etc.
When first seeing the Sheikh I was also surprised to discover a very
outspoken man with deep religious convictions (but very sincere) that
seemed to have a constant flock of people around him, he seemed
naturally charismatic. After waiting some time in a queue of people to see
him my uncle introduced me to the Sheikh. I described my problems to
him. He simply listened hmming every know and then. He examined parts
of my body e.g. hands nails and face and asked me a few questions e.g.
my dreams, any stools, unusual sensations etc.
The Sheikh then asked me to sit by the wall and put on some headphones
with my eyes closed (as if I was meditating) listening to the recitation on

the tape focusing upon the area of pain as if it too could hear the
recitation just as I could. At this point I didnt know what to make of the
Sheikh, this was the first time I met such a person and sought such an
unconventional resolution to my problem, hence I simply did what the
Sheikh asked without critiquing his methodology. I simply wanted to be
normal again as I was before I studied the internal arts.
Upon putting the headphones on and taking a comfortable sitting position
with my legs crossed I closed my eyes and the tape was then played. I
immediately identified the recitation on the tape which consisted of
Islamic chants, unusual sounds, and Quranic recitation of carefully
selected verses. With my eyes closed my concentration power was
heightened and I was able to isolate and focus on the pain (in my head,
legs & in my stomach) with great ease. Then all of a sudden I know longer
felt comfortable, almost slightly faint infact. I started swaying my head
gently and my facial expression began to change as I took on a different
demeanour. I began to growl and hiss with my front teeth protruding (like
a wild angry animal displaying it fangs). Then gradually swaying
movements was to become more acute. I was later told at this point the
sheikh was giving salutations of Mubarak to my uncle (praise be to god).
My concentration different falter despite all this, I kept focusing upon the
pain in my body and in my head in particular.
After 30 mins of this the Sheikh then told me to take the headphones off
and sit in the centre of the room were he's assistants were waiting. He
asked me to take on a different sitting posture (sitting on my legs with my
palms on top). One of the Sheikhs assistants who was behind me that
then took a hold of my head and then forced hold of my eye lids putting
some unusual drops into my eyes. The pain was excruciating. I began to
cry, however all was not as it seemed. My control over my body became
less so and although I was feeling the pain from the eye drop which was
resonating throughout my body it wasn't all being born my me. Something
very unusual began to surface from inside me and was being hit by the
pain caused by the eye drops. At this point I began crying excessively
however it wasn't myself crying, I was almost like a spectator in my own
body watching something else within me suffering and undergoing great
torment. The Sheikh began yelling "leave him!!! leave him or else you
will have to undergo more of this!!!". The assistants at this point were
holding me either side due to the violent uncontrollable nature by which I
was swaying and trying to break out of the sitting position the Sheikh had
asked me to adopt. The Sheikh then asked me to recite certain verses of
the Quran, but I was unable to. He came over to me sat down and started
praying over me. Whilst I was crying my lips would utter sounds and
speech of "naay, don't, naay" as well as some other sounds I was
unfamiliar with. I was also spitting out a lots of saliva and nasal mucus
was coming out of my nose, my whole face was awash with tears. He took
some water and splashed it over my neck, then all of a sudden I was able
to recite.

Gradually the effects of the drops began to wear off as the pain began to
subside and the crying slowed down and then eventually stopped. I was
later told that the jinns see through the eyes of the human and
that the ointment that the sheikh put into my eyes was also
tantamount to putting it into the eyes of the jinn itself as well.
Also the pain that I felt correlated with the power & control the
jinns had over me.
The Sheikhs assistants noticing my behaviour returning to a more normal
state then wrapped a towel around the top half of my body exposing only
my face and then produced forth a water spray (squirter). One assistant
held me locked down from behind, while another infront of me began
squirting water (which had been prayed upon by the Sheikh) straight into
my face, I immediately began to scream violently and it almost felt like I
was suffocating, but the assistants weren't phased and didn't lapse as the
squirting continued. The Sheikh again yelled out at me saying "Leave
him or else!!!". After the squirting was over the whole towel was
completely drenched and I felt greatly relieved that it was over. However
all was far from finished.
What occurred next is perhaps the most astonishing thing to have
happened to me (as if what had happened already wasnt astonishing
enough). The Sheikh asked one of hes assistants to give me a glass of
water. The Sheikh told me do drink it and then vomit it out again. I was
puzzled (what was the point of that?). The water in the glass had been
prayed upon by the Sheikh with verses from the Quran. I took hold of the
glass and drank it all down in a few gulps. The assistants put a bowel
infront of me and told me to vomit into it. At first I struggled and nothing
came out, I kept trying but again but found myself unable to vomit. The
Sheikh insisted that I must do it and that I should try to put my hand deep
down into my throat to help facilitate this process. So I then (again
thinking what was the point of all this), tried to simulate the act of
vomiting this time putting my hand down my throat, and then all of a
sudden I felt a great surge of pressure coming out, I leaned over the bowel
infront of me and water began gushing out of my mouth from around the
sides straight into the bowel. It kept coming out and the bowl was filling
up. I couldn't believe it !!!. I didnt even recall drinking that much water
the entire day so where was this fluid (that looked more like liquid nasal
mucus) coming from? I was later to discover the act of vomiting is a
standard practise amongst many of the worlds leading Islamic
exorcists, the stomach is the elixir field for the jinns where they
reside and feed off the contents the individual ingests, the water
which had been prayed upon my the sheikh had explosive effects
in the stomach such that ordinarily when the individual vomits
the jinns would cling onto the lining in the stomach thus
preventing them from forcibly leaving, but drinking the water in
prelude to this act would prevent the jinn from doing this due to
the explosive nature of the water inside which would cause the
jinns to extricate involuntarily during the vomiting process. Also

the unusual nature of the liquid that was being discharged by me

in the west is more commonly known as ectoplasm.
Then one of the assistant grabbed me and said that's enough telling me to
stop vomitting. Why did he intervene and just not let the liquids
completely discharge itself in entirety I wondered? The assistant
stopped me during the vomiting because he told me that I would
become very weak if I vomited any further, that the jinns inside
me had caused my own overall strength to increase and that by
causing so many to leave at once would have left me excessively
weak. He also made a stark admission that I had a lot inside me.
This almost has a completely inverse relationship to the study of
chi Kung that through the years of practise the individual
acquires more and more chi which manifests itself in greater
overall strength.
By now I was in a shattered state. There were many other people in the
room that had come to see the Sheikh and were visibly disturbed at the
site of what they had seen with me. I looked at the Sheikh and rather sillily
asked "Am I possessed by Jinns" , he looked at me and said "What
else!!!", also a lot of people in the room starting sighing "what else", as
if there could be no other conclusion that could be drawn from what had
just happened.
I had passed all of the Sheikhs litmus tests in terms of
diagnosing/ascertaining jinns/demonic possession. And yet my first
thoughts werent so much about myself but more about all the other
people that were practising these esoteric systems of martial arts and
other eastern systems summoning Demons/Jinns without a clue in the
world about the reality of what was going on. I am one of the lucky ones
that by complete fortune and the grace of God path collided with that of
the Sheikh's and put on the path to recovery, had this not happened I am
almost certain today I would either be in a mental asylum or on some
extreme form of medication falsely diagnosed by western doctors that
dont even have the mental constructs and concepts to explain the world
of the jinns/demons, the unseen & possession adequately.
The Sheikh told my uncle to bring me again for the next session. The
Sheikh had been performing exorcisms for over a decade and had been
blessed by Allah (God) with this divine ability, and as a result people from
all over the country and indeed the world would contact him with their
various jinn related problems. Hes methodology was in strict conformance
to the Islamic Sharia.
See for video footage of Islamic style exorcisms:

man
(2) An eyewitness account of an Islamic exorcism carried out by an Imam
in Brunei

The Days After

I went to see the Sheikh the next day and indeed everyday there on in
after for several weeks undergoing the same combination of Islamically
sanctioned exorcist rites with some additions. The Sheikh gave me a list of
prayers to perform regularly and told me to drink nothing except a water
bottle he would give me which had been prayed upon (which I could then
fill up when it was half full). The Sheikh would say that water had the
benefit that it could reach every where inside me so the jinn had no refuge
except but to leave or die within me. During this period those symptoms
of spasms, numbness, head aces etc began to wane. The decline was
such that the until spasms were no more than just a little pricks, the head
aces were gone and my overall well-being was vastly improved etc. Also
during this period I would often have unusual dreams which I would
convey back to the Sheikh, and sensations of something crying inside me
between the state of wakefulness and sleep. The Sheikh was torturing the
jinns to leave, and if it didnt he told me it would die within me. It is
difficult to ascertain why the jinns had such a strong association with
myself , it is possible that because I had invoked them they were
tormenting me, may be they liked their new found home/host, may be
they were forced to remain inside me by other jinns that had
control/mastery over them, or maybe they were just simply evil and
desired nothing other than the destruction of mankind due to historical
reasons of enmity between the two creations.
Cases of Possession
I have since seen many cases of possession, possession involving jinns
falling in love with girls, possession involving acts of magic performed on
individuals, possession whereby jinns harass or haunt individuals/buildings
etc. But certainly my case was unlike most of the others the Sheikh was
dealing with because I had directly invoked these creatures and
inadvertently sought their assistance via (i)My instructor channeling the
energy into me (ii)Capturing chi from outside my body (iii) Going into deep
meditative trances allowing the chi to take control of my body like I was in
an intoxicated state taking on the characteristics of animals see Wu Qin Xi
five animal frolics (iv) Through various chants and (v) Performance of
certain forms/kata with acts of magic embedded with in without even
knowing it. What is also most disturbing is that the practice of my art
involved the accumulation of these jinns inside me or as my instructor
would say the cultivation of chi which could take many years to achieve,
which is why they often say that to practice the external arts could take a
few years but to practise the internal art a decade i.e. the more chi I had
the more adept at the internal arts I became. Most instances of possession
only involve a hand full of jinns, however internal arts by definition require
the individual to store up or hoard their chi. That is why practising such

systems can be so fatal to the practitioner and act of exorcism can be

considerably longer than otherwise.

The Truth about Spontaneous Chi Kung

( Jinns / Demonic Possession )
http://www.dangerofchi.org/mystory.htm

Introduction
Today you will find the word Ki (Chi) cropping up no matter where you look.
You will see it on advertising hoardings, on posters, in newspapers and
magazines and in the brightly coloured advertisements festooning the
trains. Ki is regularly featured in certain magazines in articles with enticing
titles such as The Mysterious Ki Does It Exist?, The Miraculous Ki Cures
All Diseases, The Secret of the Supernatural Power of Ki Revealed, etc.
"The Mysterious Power of Ki" by Kouzo Kaku p.1.
But what is Chi? Where does it come from? What are its origins? How is it
that tapping into the power of Chi can enhance physical prowess by
allowing the practionar to perform superhuman feats? Can cause the
emission of Chi energy through the "Red Sand Palm" technique with
devastating results? Allows the Martial Arts practionar through summoning
Chi to invulnerabily absorb deadly blows with minimal injury i.e. the
infamous "Steel Jacket" "Iron Shirt" "Iron Crotch" and "Iron Ribs"
techniques? Can be projected and transmitted over vast distances spanning
hundreds of miles? Can result in the notorious Death Touch ie Dim Mak,
(ancient art of striking vital points of the body engineered to cause knockout, death or delayed reaction)? Can be exchanged between people i.e.
Clapping palms and passed on into food, water, and objects? Can induce
trance like and altered states of consciousness during which the practioner
experiences involuntary body movements (i.e. Wu Qin Xi and spiritual
kungfu) and demonstrates cognizance of forms never before practised? Can
miraculously heal & ameliorate the health of the critically ill (even in
instances where modern medicine with its advancement & deep insight
cannot avail)? Can be used to control an opponents mind freezing them up,
and can be used to predict and forestall an opponents intended (not
actioned) moves in battle through ki enhancing Zen mind control
techniques? Can result in amazing precognitive abilities to perceive events
before they occur, e.g. Master Morihei's (the founder of Aikido) legendary
ability to dodge and ward off bullets by seeing flashing lights of ki coming at
him, similar beliefs were also credited to the Boxers Rebellion of the late
19th century whose adherents claimed a magical imperviousness to both
blade and bullet through breathing and movement exercises (chi)? Can
through enhanced meditation transform one's state of mind into a monistic
("all is one"), if not an outright pantheistic ("all is God") outlook? Why is its
practise often integrated or associated with polythesitic idolatrous rituals,
such as woshiping idols (eg statues of Buddha, Lao Tzu, Bramer Vishnue
and Shiva), false dieties, deceased spiritual or ancesterial beings (i.e. wafu)
and the approbation of past masters, as well as being used as a vechile to
propogate idolatrous ideologies? And can even lead to unusual energy
sensations and paranormal activity at advance stages i.e. aura diagnosis,
telepathy, telekinesis, remote gong (i.e. remote viewing), unleash latent
psychic ability (clairvoyance and clairaudience), and even reports of
levitation? And yet those practicing the internal arts number in the tens of

millions daily, despite having know discernable idea of its precise make-up
and the deleterious consequences that can accrue through its practice i.e.
namely the medical condition known as "Qi Gong Deviation Syndrome"
(today a medical diagnostic term widely used throughout China), Qigong
Psychosis, evil qi (xie qi), malignant qi, stagnant chi, and "Kundalini
Syndrome" (collectively referred to as the Dark Side of Chi). If you are a
practioner of the Martial Arts, in particular the Internal Arts, ever studied the
Five-Animal System of Spontaneous Chi-Kung, then this article is
imperative reading for you and the sinister malign reality of Chi Kung will
become all too evident. The paragraphs and comments you are about to
read are derived from my own experiences, close observations and study of
the Martial Arts. Inadditon I have also used other sources and references
where I deemed it relevant to cogently present my case, producing both an
authoratitive and objective analysis of the subject matter. My ultimate
purpose is to publicize the dangers of Chi and the insidious esoteric and
exoteric energies of the east. Throughout the rest of this writing the terms
tai chi, ki, rei-ki, & qi gong will be used synonymously to mean Chi.

Reality of Chi
I have been a practioner of the martial arts for several
years, and that also includes spontaneous Chi Kung. The
Chi they utilize is not a harmonious, benevolent, all
prevailing, invisible energy/force which flows binds and
permeates throughout the Universe, but rather a sentient
life form unto themselves (nor are they discarnate spirits of
the dead as is commonly believed in the west) which
religions around the world and communities & civilizations
throughout history have commonly termed Spirits, Jinns or
Demons. Many people around the world have been severely mentally
affected to their detriment through the study of such systems which often
involve (as will be examined here on in) clearly defined movements/forms or
involuntary actions. Once the jinn's enter the host through the relevant
nerve, pressure or acupuncture points that flow in channels/meridians, they
then inhabit the host and exercise great influence, often in many instances
mentally impairing the individual or even cause death. At the latter point the
only means of redress then becomes undergoing a religious Islamic
Exorcism. I am speaking from my own experiences with this phenomenon
and not from hear say. I would like to publicize the dangers as much as
possible and expose its reality .

Chi in China

Qigong (exercise of vital energy) is a Chinese healing system based on

trance. It consists of meditational or movement exercise, or both, induced by
use of a highly culture syntonic set of suggestions based on the concept of
qi (vital energy). It has been estimated that about 5% of China's 1.3 billion
people practise qigong, so this may be the most common form of hypnosis
practised globally.
Chinese hypnosis can cause qigong induced mental disorders by
Sing Lee, associate professor of psychiatry BMJ v320 (7237) Mar 18,
2000

Indeed the concept of Chi-Kung dates back over 4,500 years, along with the
rest of Chinese Medicine, which has a long and recognized pedigree, slowly
evolved into a highly refined art Today. Infact within China alone there are
over three hundred Chi Kung systems, each individual style has its own
specific training methods. Qigong is ostensibly a training system which
helps to generate a strong flow of Qi (Internal Energy) inside the body and
then circulate it through the entire body. Many Martial and Non-Martial styles
of Qigong training have been created in the last 4,000 years. The most
famous martial styles are:
1) Tai Ji Quan
2) Bagua
3) Xingyi
4) Liu He
5) Ba Fa
These are considered internal styles (Nei Gong or Nei Jar in Chinese), as
opposed to "external" styles like Shaolin, because they emphasis working
with Qi. The best known Non-Martial atyles, which emphasis the
enhancement of Qi circulation to improve health are
1) Wu Qin Xi (Five Animal Forlics/Sport)
2) Ba Duan Jin (8 pieces of brocade)
3) Da Mo's "Yi Jin Jing" Muscle Change Classic
4) Shi Er Zhuang (12 postures)
"Tai Chi Theory & Martial Power" by Dr. Yan, Jwing-Ming.

Dao Yin & Five Animal Frolics (Wu Qin Xi)

The much-vaunted Five Animal System of Martial Arts or more commonly
known as Spontaneous Chi-Kung invented by the famous Chinese
physician, Hua Tuo, who lived in the late Han dynasty, is one of the most
visible displays of demonic influence & possession within the martial arts
practiced today taught throughout China and abroad. It is practiced not as a

set of prescribed movements but rather as an escalating state of involuntary

spontaneous movements including muscle tremors, twitching, unusual
breathing or vocalizations and gyrating movements sending the practioner
into a induced trance like state. The various postures of the Five-animal
Play are related to the five elements & their corresponding solid organs. The
Five-animal Play has five movement types, each named after an animal:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

'Xian Men' Tiger Style

'She Cheng Qi' Deer Style
'Geng Sang' Bear Style
'Fei Chang Fang' Monkey Style
'Kang Cang Zi' Bird Style

The movements called the "Five Animals" begin with simple swaying, which
some cynics say occur anyway when you stand still for long periods, an
effect called Postural hypo tension. But more convincing effects become
apparent when you move to the next stage. The Tiger is related to the lungs
and the element metal, the other organ/animal/elemental correspondences
are as follows: The Deer is related to the liver and wood, the Bear to the
kidneys and water, the Monkey to the spleen and earth; and lastly, the Bird
is related to the heart and fire. Alarming scenes of people quite violently
flapping their arms about, jumping up and down and hooting like crazed
animals are to be observed abit like a zoo gone mad. The Chi can also be
triggered by the ignorant instructor that has developed a powerful Chi field
by transmitting the energy he has cultivated into another person. This is
often done by the instructor holding the hands of the student as the jinn's
pass through the finger tips or by pointing he's fingers at their foreheads at
the position commonly known as the "Third Eye" (Hinduism & Buddhism
faculty of insight often associated with paranormal activity and Islamically
position at which the soul (rou'h) extricates the body). The finger nails serve
as motorways for the jinn's facilitating ease of entry and exit. Yet all this can
be done while the instructor is some distance away from the student
controlling them like a puppeteer or rather telekinesis, pulling students in or
pushing them away with just a gesture. More convincingly, most of the time
they are unaware of he's gestures and often looking in the other direction.
In addition to the organs and meridians it is said our body also has three

centers or collection points.

The jinn aggregate in three centers or collectons points within the human
body, these are called Dan Tein, which translates as field of elixir.

"Inside our body these fields are a places for cultivation. As the name
suggests the cultivation process is similar to the way crops are cultivated in
a field." Five Animal Frolics Qi Gong by Franlin Fick p.15.

Except it is jinns & not crops the practionar is hoarding.

These three centers (Dan Tien) are also associated with three different
types of energy. These three energies are called the Three Treasures: Jing
(relates to the physical body and is located 2 inches below the navel), Qi
(relates to the mind located in the middle of the chest), and Shen (relates to
the spirit or conciousness located in the head). Ibid. p16.

The Three Treasures are all related and can support and tranform into each
other. They are actually the same substance at different levels of
refinement. Ibid. P.16.

In other words, as the Chi moves upwards from the lower organs it becomes
more potent.

The body is the same as a container that must be filled from the bottom
up. Ibid p16.

The jinns control thus becomes complete when the Shen is affected.

The induction of jinns has dramatic affects upon the human body
Qigong bolsters the primal, reproductive vitality, or jing; it potentiates the
daily bioelectrical energy, or qi; and it refines the light of our radiant spirit, or
shen. Five Animal Frolics For High Energy Vitality and Well Being by
John Du Cane p.1.

Upon the submission of each of the five stages the jinn gains a foot hold

over the host germinating into every corner and then brining its possessions
with it just like a human would move he's/her furniture into a new dwelling.
The jinn flows through its newfound host like blood, incrementing its control.
The result is the successive infiltration of each organ, limb and then
ultimately the brain, brought under the wing of the jinn. This is the most
dangerous part of the body the host/Chi Kung practioner can give away.
Many students at this stage report seeing bright lights, coloured formations
and golden balls (similar to Hindu diksha golden balls). The Jinns while
being an unseen creation do have it in their power to grant humans sight of
them and the world of the unseen, this is what happens when chambers of
the brain are opened up to facilitate chi expansion. Once the brain is
tampered with and the jinns is able to bring it under its dominion the host
then experiences gradual mental impairment/decline in the form of memory
loss, head aches, unusual energy sensations moving around the
head/brain, declining mental acumen etc climaxing in a state of madness. It
should be noted that many people around the world are today in such a
state as a result of practicing the Five Animal System, hence I cannot stress
it enough to stay away from these systems or else there will be dire
consequences for yourself.

"The (Chinese) proverb "Like running against the claws of the five animals"
is a reference to five animals which could cause turbulent insanity and great
disturbances" Chinese Black Magic Dr Ong Hean Tatt p.125. When
severe it is known as zou (run) huo (fire) ru (enter) mo (devil); this
means that the flow of qi deviates from the jing luo conduits and becomes
fire, as a result of which a devil (jinn) enters the person.

As to how the jinn can possess or enter human bodies in The Jinn &
Human Sickness by Dr. Abul-Mundhit Khaleel ibn Ibraaheem Ameen
the author quotes another Shaykh:
Shaykh Muhammed Al-Haamid says: Because the jinn have light bodies
(that are not dense), there is no ratonal reason why they should not enter
the bodies of the sons of Adam, and there is no text which contradicts this
idea. For that which is light may run through that which is dense, like air
which can enter our bodies, or fire which runs through coals, or electricity
which runs through wires. P.51.

It is no concidence that every spiritual system that has some influence

with the spirit/demonic realm from Buddhism to yoga to Native American has a Five Element theory underlying it (some use 4 elements + center).
And "certain animal groupings, especially around the number five, are not
auspisicious, and often related to black magic" Chinese Black Magic by Dr
Ong Hean Tatt p.101. But unlike the others it is the Five Animal System that
teaches how to directly experience the 5 elements in the body as five
intelligent streams of biological, psychological, & spiritual consciousness.
Elements of the oldest forms of chi kung in China Five Animal Plays & Six
Healing Sounds were found inscribed on silk fragments in the famous
Mawangdui tomb discovery, dated to 216 b.c. In these silk fragments the
animals and their sounds were clearly being used for medical purposes. The
five animals was originally a kind of a shamanic dance, a way of getting in
touch with animal spirits for self-healing and empowerment. They believed
these animal spirits could connect you to the underworld and the
supernatural world (i.e. Jinns and demons). If you could harness them, you
could be healed or gain insight and magical powers from the unseen world.
Believing also that the highest healing skill is to teach others to heal
themselves, Hua Tuo set out to create a complete self-healing system that
anyone could use to stay healthy or cure themselves of most ailments.
Synthesizing and refining a set exercises based on a vast body of ancient
shamanic and folk healing knowledge, he created The Five Animal Frolics.
Five Animal Frolics For High Energy, Vitality and Well Being by John
Du Cane p.2.
The five animals evolved within Taoist (Daoist) culture to represent the five
spirits or the intelligences (wu jing shen) of the five major human vital

organs. It was believed that is was here the human underworld is actually
hidden, right inside our body and is not in some abstract dimension of our
psyche. Hence there are five animals, one for each of the five elements.
This connection between spiritual training and shamanic influences is
undeniable (shamanism being defined as a member of certain tribal
societies who acts as a medium between the visible world and an invisible
spirit world and who practices magic or sorcery for purposes of healing,
divination, and control over natural events). It is well illustrated by one of the
world most famous Qigong proponents in the west Michael Winn ( also a
former two term President of the National Qigong (Chi Kung) Association of
America ) in hes Five Animals eBook section Shamanic Power Animals
Live Inside Human Body he writes:
The evolution of spiritual training in ancient China was marked, I believe, by
the absorption of shamanic powers and techniques into a more advanced,
all inclusive alchemical science. The wisdom of the Daoist alchemists was
that the entire universe, in its essential form, is contained within our human
animal body. They realized, we can stop chasing after ourselves outside of
ourselves. It is all right here, under our very nose. So the shamanic journey
into other realms evolved into the Taoist notion of an expanded energy
body. The journey became increasingly internalized. You dont need to travel
to get to the underworld, you carry it around with you, right inside your body.

The author further expounds on this point:

With the Five Animals, we are really exploring the mystery of the body, and
in particular the mystery of our vital organ spirits, our own internal animal
spirits with magical powers. The six healing sounds are a way of
communicating with particular frequencies of chi in each organ, and the
spirit of each one of our internal animals.

The five elements and their associated heraldic animals represent an

ancient knowledge of how heavenly forces could be manipulated to affect
earthly destinies. The central ritual of Taoist magic consists in the ability to
call up the forces of these spirit generals and indicates that the heraldic
animals are indeed the essence of supernatural powers.

Malaysia, 1991

Stefan Verstappen in hes article The Shamanic Origins of Tai Chi,

When investigating the origins of tai chi , a journey which took him to the
Golden Triangle (a roughly drawn remote from civilisation geographic area
that overlaps the borders of three countries: Myanmar in the west, Laos in
the east, and Thailand in the south), upon meeting a shaman, he writes:
The Shaman or medicine man still plays an important role in the life of the
isolated villages. In 1987 the author visited with the Ka-ren in one of the
more remote areas of the Triangle. There he was fortunate enough to spend

an evening with a Shaman and witness his spirit dance. It was there that the
connection between this tradition and that of the Chinese martial arts
seemed to meld. Ibid Chapter 1 p.1
He was showing us the movements taught him by his Shaman, which had
been passed down through the tribe for generations. The Shaman moved
strikingly similar to a Tai Chi master. Ibid Chapter 1 p.1
Prehaps most conclusively the author even begins to questions himself and
tie the link more definitively between Tai Chi and Shamanic practices:
According to his book, Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy, Eliade
recounts that a Shaman must from time to time perform a ritual known as
the Spirit Dance. Well known among native Americans, accounts of this
practice also date back 4,000 years in Chinese records. During the Spirit
Dance, the Shaman moves in imitation of his animal spirit to call on its
powers. It is said that the animal spirit actually takes possession of the
Shaman's body and imbues the Shaman with superhuman strength. This
principle is also mirrored in the martial arts. Performing the movements of
Tai Chi is said to generate a spiritual energy Chi. Like the Shaman's
infusion from his animal spirit, Chi also bestows superhuman strength.
Could it be that performing the stylized movements of a Tai Chi form is
based on the ancient Shaman's practice of dancing the spirit? Ibid. Chapter
3 p.2.

The shamans power rests in his ability to throw himself into a trance at
will. The drums and dance simultaneously elevate his spirit and conjure to
him his familiars, the beasts and birds, invisible to others, that have supplied
him with his power and assist him in his fight. And it is in his trances of
raptures that he performs his miraculous deeds. Chang 1983 Art Myth
and Ritual , the path to political authority in ancientChinap.69
The practise of magic by shamans was known by the Chinese since ancient
times, known as wu or hsi, and lady shamans as chu. As their practises
gained more appeal they assumed functions of priests and were known as
sai kong. Part of the paraphernalia shamans were involved in concerned
the communication rituals between heaven and earth this required bronze
vessels with their animal images.

Also, to work their Black Magic sorcerers of old could allegedly change
their form into that of animals Groot, de , J.J.M. The religious system
ofChina1892 V p.822

Walsh, Roger in The Spirit of Shamanism, J. P. Tarcher, Los Angeles,

1990 writes
The conditions that induce these (altered) states include such common
experiences as isolation, fatigue, hunger, and rhythmic sound and thus are

likely to be re-discovered by different generations and cultures. Since these

states may be pleasurable, meaningful, and healing, they are likely to be
actively sought and methods of inducing them remembered and transmitted
across generations.
In the older martial arts traditions of China, Burma, the Philippines, and
Malaysia, there are systems of self-defense that are based upon the combat
movements of either real or mythical animals. The better known styles
originated in China and include Tiger, Leopard, Lion, Crane, Eagle, Phoenix,
Snake, Dragon, White Ape, Monkey, and Praying Mantis, to name a few. Yet
it is in the grand ballet of the animal styles that the connection is closest to
the ancient origin of moving meditation.

Every style has its own folklore regarding its origins. Often they are like
parables that teach moral and philosophical lessons as well as the style's
origins. But there is also a pattern to many of the tales. From the
perspective of cultural anthropology such folktales may contain an ancient
memory of an even older tradition, which Stefan Verstappen describes as
that of the "Vision Quest." Common to Shamanism, the Vision Quest is a
ritual whereby a young warrior first undergoes a period of training after
which he sets off alone into the wilderness. He must bear the hardships of
isolation while fasting and meditating until he has a vision. The vision
usually takes the form of an animal that reveals certain secrets. This animal
then becomes the warrior's kindred or guardian spirit and shares his powers
with the warrior. For example, if the visionary animal was a fox, the warrior
would take on the qualities of cunning; an eagle would bestow far sight; a
bear strength, and so on.

As to why jinns often take on the form of animals and come across as
animal spirits using them as a vechile to possess or misguide people, In
The Jinn & Human Sickness by Dr. Abul-Mundhit Khaleel ibn
Ibraaheem Ameen writes
the jinn have special abilities such as their ability to take on different
forms and appear in the form of animals such as snakes, cats (tigers), dogs
etc p.45.
Animals are their favourite attire, historically jinns have often appeared as
animals (eg the notorious black dog). Animals also serve as perfect
disguises for the jinns without having to reveal their true identity and nature.
This often causes many people to either supplicate & approbate animals as
divine deities or to become embued with their characteristics and abilities,
this is largely done because when the jinn take on their form they
demonstrate and transfer by possession super normal abilities such as
magic, empowerment, healing, and great strength.

Jinn also have many similarities to animals, notably jinns are much stronger
and faster than humans just like many animals & and see in a spectrum of

light that humans cant, just as many animals can. It must also be noted
many animals unlike humans can see jinns.

Also according to Abu Thalabah al-Khushani said: The Messenger of Allah

Muhammed (pbuh) said: 'The jinn are of three types: a types that has
wings, and they fly through the air; a type that looks like snakes and dogs;
and a type that stops for a rest then resumes its journey. [Shaykh alAlbaani said in al-Mishkaat (2/1206, no. 4148): al-Tahhaawi and AbulShaykh reported it with a saheeh isnaad]

Hence the first type that has wings and can gain flight and mimic birds (i.e.
crane & eagles etc), and the second type like snakes and dogs can mimic
reptiles and four legged animals (i.e. snake, tiger, bear etc) and lastly the
third type thats stops and resumes journeys can appear as humans for
example the Budhhist and Taosit ancesterial beings that have appeared
through the aeons to influence earthly events many centuries after they
were deceased.

It also causes many people to engage in foolish rituals or acts of worship

dressed as animals to ward off so-called spirits, such as the fang-siangche ceremony of the Chou Li or the Tao No ceremony which are examples
where by an inspector of the region along with 12 persons or even a priest
would at times of calamities caused by irregularities in the heavenly and
earthly fields impersonate various animals to drive away demons and
diseases before making a sacrificial offering.

It is also likely to form the basis of the lion and dragon dances currently
practised in modern times during the Chinese new year. Chinese Black
Magic by Dr Ong Hean Tatt p37
In the fifth century BC there is described the ritual whereby the "inspector of
the region" would dress in a bear's skin and accompanied by twelve other
attendants each dressed as a different animal, they would perform the "Bear
Dance" which was meant to drive away evil spirits. Waterbury, F., Bird
Deities in China, Artibus Asae Publishers, Ascona, Switzerland, 1952
When experiencing adverse affects Qigong related energy is often
referred to as evil (xie) qi. It is said to have ten thousand
manifestations each with its own true (zheng) qi, and if it permeates
in the host the true qi becomes perverted.
When malignant qi dwells in a persons body, it is called infestation.
A result of systemic imbalance, depletion or exhaustion in the
patient. The malignant qi may gain entrance if.he has suddenly
come into contact with emanations from the dead or has collided
with a ghost or demon. Chinese Magical Medicine by Michel
Strickmann. (from Chaos On the Origins & Symptoms of

Diseases completed in 610).

Such spiritist concepts have not gone without attention by the Chinese.
Infact Chinese philosophy has tried very hard to explain the metaphysical
realm of the jinn, but sadly this has been in non-sensical language that lacks
any authenticity as is not based on any divine source but rather fairy tale,
superstition and magic. For example the invasion by Gui.
The Gui are the earthly spirits: the Chinese character for Gui has a
hook on it, showing that its nature is to attach to the earthly realm.
The Gui are in duality with the Shen (the heavenly spirits). Unique,
distinct spirits (Gui) slip in and live through you: often the effects to
the host are not intended but are the result of the Gui being there &
turning you into a suitable vehicle. Gui can be benevolent or
malevolent: some want to be somewhere else; some do not want to
be elsewhere; some want to leave the host; others do not want to
leave.
The expression used for the procedures employed by the
malevolent dead was plaint from the tomb. This term described the
origin of the pathology, but the pathology itself or its physical
symptoms were designated by another term, ghost (or demon)
infusion or ghost-infestation. The first syllable denoted not only
ghosts but also demons, and sometimes lesser deities as well. The
second syllable means, literally, a pouring-in. The spectral
pathogens visit their victim and stay on & on. Ibid Chinese
Magical Medicine by Michel Strickmann.

The Shen divides into five manifestations, three take the heavenly

aspects (Shen, Hun, Po) & two the earthly aspects (Yi, Zhi). But of
the heavenly trinity two have the earthly spirits within them (the
ancient Chinese belief that a person is composed of the spiritual
soul i.e. the 3 Hun & the corporeal soul i.e. the 7 Po). Hence the
Chinese proverb "The demon is afraid of man 7 times, while
man is afraid of the demon 3 times". Thus it is believed a strong
Shen will shield a person from all evil forces. On occasion, the Po
themselves can pervert the person and/or call in other Gui.
It is said by Chinese tradition, the Gui from a deceased person at a
true death or the entering the Shen rises out of the persons body
on the wings of the Hun. The Shen (the Divine) goes home
immediately, while the Hun hover above the body and if saintly may
live for centuries, benevolently affecting the daily lives of their
offspring, while the Po remain in the body as it rots quickly and
merge with the earth. (The Yi & the Zhi have no form without the
heart & so dissolve instantly.) In cases of unnatural death, however,
the Po may escape & roam the world, looking for another
vehicle/host to cling again to the earthly realms.

Dangers of Eastern & New Age Spiritualism :- Chi, Ki, Prana, Mana,
Kaa, Shiatsu, Orgone, Kundalini, Yoga, Meditation, Healing, Psi balls,
Reiki, tantra

And yet the cultivation of Chi energy is not solely practiced by the Chinese.
As with the fighting arts, many other races would have had their own
methods of tapping into the ostensibly "Cosmic energy". One of the principal
features of New Age practice is the belief in a universal or cosmic energy
circulating throughout the body, this energy can be manipulated for various
spiritual or psychological purposes, and it is even palpable.When we look
back through history, there are many accounts of the use of energy Chi
recorded in various languages and cultures at different times and places.
Meditation, self-observation, self-remembering, breathing exercises, chant,
tai chi, qigong, yoga, sacred dances, group exchanges, & somatic therapies
are all such examples. Energy "manifestations" are a principal characteristic
of meditative experiences as well. Although it is widely accepted in the East
that psychic powers are a natural by-product of meditation, the vehicle
through which these psychic abilities are produced is often viewed as a from
of "cosmic" energy. The gentler arts notably Tai Chi, which is a Chinese form
of rhythmic callisthenics made up of a comprehensive series of gentle
physical movements and breathing techniques with the aim of inducing a
meditative state (very subtle by comparison), is also similarly demonic
origin. There are many other versions of inducing spontaneous Chi flow,

most use relaxation and concentration on energy flow within the body.
Others use concentration on major acupoints of the body that correspond to
the nerve plexus' and/or chakras (energy centers).

A major study on meditation asked respondents to check characteristics of

their in meditative experience. One description was: "I felt a great surge of
energy within me or around me." Karlis Osis, et al., "Dimensions of the
Meditative Experience," The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology,
vol. 14, no. 1, 1982, p. 121.

Meditators whose experience could be described in this manner were to

check this item. Significantly, it received the highest "loading score" of all 16
items in the category of "Intensification and Change of
Consciousness." Ibid., p. 127. The method used was the Verimax
Orthogonal Factor Analysis: the loading score was .66

Experiencing a "great surge of energy" was therefore a dominant

characteristic of meditative experience. cf. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh,
"Energy," Sannyas, no. 1, January/February 1978 and the kundalini
issue (no. 2, 1976), Rajneesh International Foundation.

The authors related this to the spiritistic mana of Polynesian shamanism

and the occult prana, or kundalini, of Hinduism.Osis, et al., "Dimensions
of the Meditative Experience," pp. 132-133

Consider other characteristic descriptions: "The force went through and

through my body. It was absolutely wild and intense. I felt possessed by
the energy." This and dozens of similar reports are given in Bubba Free
John, Garbage and the Goddess (Lower Lake, DA: Dawn Horse Press,
1974), pp. 69-100 and passim.

One woman described the supernatural power as "entering me and taking

over my being.... I was completely possessed. [It was] taking me over
completely. There was nothing left of the person I thought to be Marie."
Ibid., p. 76.

The experience of a surge of energy or power is also related to the

cultivation of altered states of consciousness.Osis, et al., "Dimensions of
the Meditative Experience," pp. 132-133.

Thus, "[Meditation is] a profoundly transformative process, for when

practiced intensely, meditation disciplines almost invariably lead into the
transpersonal [occult] realm of experience.... A progressive sequence of
altered states of consciousness can occur, which may ultimately result in the
permanent, radical [occult] shift in consciousness known as enlightenment
or liberation." Roger N. Walsh, Frances Vaughan, eds., Beyond Ego:
Transpersonal Dimensions in Psychology (Los Angeles, CA: J. P.
Tarcher, 1980), pp. 136-137, emphasis added.

For us, the key issue is to determine the nature of this energy.
Transpersonal psychotherapist Dr. Frances V. Clark, who wrote her Ph.D.
dissertation on "Approaching Transpersonal Consciousness Through
Affective Imagery in Higher Education," refers to our cultures modern
fascination with occult energies. "In recent years we have learned much
about releasing energy, raising energy, transforming energy, directing
energy, and controlling energy flow. Yet the energy we are talking about
remains undefined." Frances Clark, "Exploring Intuition: Prospects and
Possibilities," The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, vol. 5, no. 2,
1973, p. 163.

In the preface to "Kundalini Causalities," an article discussing the dangers of

yogic kundalini arousal during meditation and other New Age therapies, The
New Age Journal points out: Traditionally, spiritual teachers have warned
their students of the dangers and possible side effects of meditative
techniques and helped practitioners deal with these difficulties as they
arose. Now that meditation is being marketed as a mass commodity, the
information concerning the dangers and the necessary help is often not part
of the package. Moreover, certain body therapies and human potential
techniques appear to be triggering off the Kundalini syndrome completely
outside the context of spiritual training and often the therapists themselves
have no idea what this energy is, let alone how to deal with it. "Kundalini
Casualties," The New Age Journal, March 1978, p. 47.

We are convinced that the mysterious, dramatic energy experienced in New

Age meditation is characteristically the result of spiritistic influence. That
meditation produces energy manifestations clearly associated with primitive
shamanism, the occult, and Eastern or Western spiritism, is undeniable.
Meditation-induced "energy manifestations" are so often associated with
spiritism, that we have no doubt that this energy is not human, and certainly
not divine, but demonic. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, "Energy," Sannyas,

no. 1, January/February, 1978; see the kundalini issues, Sannyas, no.

2, 1976; also Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, "Suicide or Sannyas,"
Sannyas, no. 2, 1978; Tal Brooke, Riders of the Cosmic Circuit:
Rajneesh, Sai Baba, Muktananda Gods of the New Age (Batavia, IL:
Lion, 1986). (1039/1040/249).

Whether the phenomena are described in terms of the Eastern gurus

shaktipat diksha (transfer of occult energy), classical shamanism, kundalini
arousal, or something similar in other traditions, we are dealing with one and
the same energy. Many primitive traditions attribute this energy to the spirit
world (cf. the num of the Kalahari !Kung tribe); others see it as an internal
manifestation of divine power residing potentially within all people. Even if
this energy is not directly attributed to the spirit world, the spiritistic
associations and manifestations are so blatant and persuasive one would
be hard-pressed to conclude that he was dealing with anything other than
spirit influence or possession. Great surges of energy are typically felt by
Eastern and Western gurus, who freely confess they are possessed by
spirits, demons, or gods.Brooke, Riders of the Cosmic Circuit.

Occultists also admit the same condition, David Conway, Magic: An

Occult Primer (New York: Bantam, 1973), pp. 129-132. as do many
practitioners of yoga. Swami Bakta Vishita, Genuine Mediumship (n.p.p.:
Yoga Publications Society, 1919).

Swami Rudrananda, in Spiritual Cannibalism, writes that while in meditation

his master touched him, and "I immediately felt within me a surge of great
spiritual force.... [M]ovements similar to those of an epileptic controlled my
body for about an hour. Many strange visions appeared and I felt things
opening within me that had never been opened before." Rudi [Swami
Rudrananda], Spiritual Cannibalism (New York: Quick Fox, 1973), p.
85.

In another experience, "Slowly [the spirit of my guru] Swami Nityananda

came toward me and entered into my physical body. For three hours, I felt
nothing of myself but that the saint had possessed me." Rudi [Swami
Rudrananda], Spiritual Cannibalism (Woodstock, New York: Overlook
Press, 1978), p. 13.

A leading popularizer of Tibetan Buddhism in this country, Chogyam

Trungpa, states, "I will say that for beginners, it is extremely dangerous to
play with [this] energy, but for advanced students such work becomes
relevant naturally." Chogyam Trungpa, "An Approach to Meditation,"
The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, vol. 5, no. 1, 1973, p. 74.

One of the dangers is temporary or permanent insanity. Here are a few

illustrations from meditators who follow guru Da (Bubba) Free John: Bubbas
eyes rolled up, and his lips pulled into a sneer. His hands formed mudras
[yogic movements] as he slumped against Sal, who also fell back against
other devotees sitting behind him. Almost immediately, many of those
present began to feel the effects of intensified Shakti [power], through the
spontaneous internal movement of the life-force. Their bodies jerked or
shook, their faces contorted, some began to cry, scream, and moan. The
whole bathhouse seemed to have slipped into another world. I saw Bubba
just enter into Sal, just go right into Sal. From there he went out over
everybody else, and then everybody else started going crazy. Bubba Free
John, Garbage and the Goddess, p. 47.

My hands were slowing and vibrating. It felt like electricity, like they were on
radar or something, and they were just being directed to all of the people
around me. I felt like I was conducting the Force through me to the others
there. People were screaming and howling, crying and yelling out. Ibid., p.
60.

As soon as I went into the room, I felt the Force. My head started jerking,
and I sat down next to Billy Tsiknas and Joe Hamp. The Force went through
and through my body, at first warm, then hot. It started to hurt. I was in a
sitting position. My hand was raised, and I couldnt move it because of the
Force moving though it. My head was bent down. I was so full of intensity, I
started to cry. Ibid., p. 61.

I was so insane I didnt know what was happening at all. Everybody sitting
here stared to have incredible Shakti [power] manifestations, and other
things. It was absolutely intense. When I was sitting here with everybody, I
was shaking, and it felt sort of like I was possessed. The "terror of being
destroyed, totally destroyed." Ibid., p. 66.

Suddenly his body exploded with movement, his arms and legs flying
outward, his head rolling around and snapping. Force seemed to be flung
from his body into the others present. Ibid., p. 72.

What is called "intensification," or possession by energy, is a core

experience in the historical literature of meditation and many occult
practices. This "energizing" is experiences as a dramatic and even
overwhelming influx of spiritual power. It can be wild or uncontrollable, even
deadly. And, irrespective of the interpretation placed on it, it shares
characteristics with spirit possession. Abundant literature illustrates this,

such as Bhagwan Shree Rajneeshs The Book of the Secrets Bhagwan

Shree Rajneesh, The Book of the Secrets, Volume 1: Discourses on
Vigyana Bhairava Tantra (New York: Harper Colophon, 1977.;

Swami Muktanandas Play of Consciousness Swami Muktananda, Play of

Consciousness (New York: Harper & Row, 1978).; Swami Rudranandas
Spiritual Cannibalism Rudi [Swami Rudrananda], Spiritual Cannibalism
(Woodstock, New York: Overlook Press, 1978).; Da Free Johns Garbage
and the Goddess Bubba Free John, Garbage and the Goddess (Lower
Lake, DA: Dawn Horse Press, 1974).; Tal Brookes Riders of the Cosmic
Circuit.Tal Brooke, Riders of the Cosmic Circuit: Rajneesh, Sai Baba,
Muktananda Gods of the New Age (Batavia, IL: Lion, 1986).
What is troubling is the pervasive denial that what is really operating here is,
in fact, demonic influence or spirit possession. The following cartoon
illustration underscores our concerns:

There is a cartoon by Feiffer that illustrates some of these component

aspects of meditation, and it proceeds something like this: Harry is sitting
meditation; Madge walks in and asks, "Harry, what are you doing?" "I am
concentrating on my mantra." "A mantra? Whats a mantra?" "Its a secret. I
cannot tell." "Harry, what is a mantra?" "I cannot tell," "Harry, I must know
what a mantra is. Tell me what is a mantra? Its either me or the mantra."
Harry doesnt tell and she packs up her bags and leaves, and Harry says,
"See it works; no stress." Meditation may be working for a variety of reasons
other than the ones that the literature cites, and I think we need to research
these reasons. Roger Walsh, et al., "Meditation: Aspects of Research
and Practice," The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, vol. 10, no.
2, 1978, p. 128.

Though no one really knows how meditation "works," given the historic and
contemporary association to spiritism, it is by far the most logical theory as
to how it "works," On the "Merv Griffin Show," July 25,1986, Griffin
interviewed New Age channeler Jach Pursel and actor Michael York and his
wife. They, along with Griffin and many other top Hollywood stars, were
described as disciples of "Lazaris," the spirit entity who possessed Pursel
and spoke through him while on television. On the show, Pursel described
how he met his spirit guide while engaged in his normal practice of simple
meditation. In October of 1974, he recalled, he was meditating as usual;
there was nothing abnormal in his experience. But all of a suddentotally
unexpectedlyhe became possessed. The entity took him over entirely,
completely controlling him and using his vocal chords to speak through him.
His wife recorded the entitys statements, and Pursers career as a medium
was launched.The significant fact here is not the birth of another medium,
but how easily Pursel became demon-possessed (he had been practicing
20-minute sessions of a simple and widely practiced form of meditation
twice daily).

A Kundalini release (ie. energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine
until it is activated, as by the practice of yoga, and channeled upward
through the chakras in the process of spiritual perfection) is often the result
of such practises, this can be triggered by the afore- mentioned meditation,
yoga, breathing exercises, reiki, qigong, healing, tantra, transcendental
meditation and other eastern or new age spiritual exercises. When the
kundalini energy is rising through the chakras/meridians, it can cause big
problems for the body and mental health of the practionar. Thousands of
people around the world who have been damaged by these artificial spiritual
exercises which are simply wholly Demonic/Jinn in origin and ostensibly
consist of various techniques or "intentional triggers of transformative
experiences" such as: sensory isolation and sensory overload, biofeedback,
meditation of every description:Zen, Tibetan Buddist, chaotic, Transdental,
Christian, Kabbalist, kundalini, raja yoga, tantric yoga, etc.,
psychosysnthesis, a system that combines imagery and meditative state,
chanting, mood-altering music, mind expanding drugs, esoteric systems of
religious mysticism and knowledge, guided imagery, balancing and
aligning"energies," hypnosis, body discipines...radical seminars designed to
obliterate former values, etc. Marilyn Ferguson "The Aquarian
Conspiracy".

Dangers to Physical and Mental Health

Transformation of consciousness, psychic powers, and spirit possession are
not the only dangers of meditation. There are many studies which show that
physical and psychological harm can occur from meditation training.
Among them are Leon Otis, Adverse Effects of Meditation (Menlo Park,
CA: Stanford Research Institute, 1979); J. A. Fahmy and H. Fledulisu,
"Yoga Induced Attacks of Acute Glaucoma," Acta Ophthalmologica,
1973, 51, pp. 80-84; J. Hassett, "Meditation Can Hurt," Psychology
Today, 1978, vol. 12, no. 6, pp. 125-126; A. Lazarus, "Psychiatric
Problems Precipitated by Transcendental Meditation," Psychology
Reports, 1976, vol. 39, no. 2, pp. 601-602; B. O. Regan, "Mind/Body
Effects: The Physiological Consequences of Tibetan Meditation,"
Newsletter of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, 1982, vol. 10, no. 2.

And these consequences, like those discussed previously, mirror the effects
produced by occult practices in general.
A symposium report by a number of authorities, some of whom practice

meditation, "Spiritual and Transpersonal Aspects of Altered States of

Consciousness," comments: "Recently the fringe benefits of meditation
regarding health, vitality, and cognitive functioning have been broadcast,
and increasing numbers of people practice meditation for these purposes....
[But] there are many dangers in this journey." Mary Jo Meadow, et al.,
"Spiritual and Transpersonal Aspects of Altered States of
Consciousness," The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, vol. 11,
no. 1, 1979, pp. 62-63.

One authority states, "There can arise a clear vision of the dissolution of the
self from moment to moment, and this often leads to a realm of fear and
terror, and a kind of inner death." Roger N. Walsh, Frances Vaughan,
eds., Beyond Ego: Transpersonal Dimensions in Psychology (Los
Angeles, CA: J. P. Tarcher, 1980), p. 153

In "Psychiatric Complications of Meditation Practice," Mark Epstein, M.D.,

and Jonathan Leiff, M.D., discuss potential hazards. Leiff is a graduate of
Yale College and the Harvard Medical School and is with the Boston
University School of Medicine. Epstein, a psychiatrist at Cambridge
Hospital, Harvard Medical School, wrote his undergraduate thesis on
Theravadin Buddhist psychology and has practiced vipassana meditation for
over a decade. The authors note the lack of public awareness concerning
meditation hazards:
What has not been made clear, however, is the range of side effects of
meditative practices that may present to the clinician as psychological
disturbance. Some of these complications have already been noted by
Western health professionals, others are only too well known within the
meditative traditions. The most obvious misuses of meditation were hinted
at by early psychoanalytic investigators, while the more subtle abuses and
psychological crises of the advanced practitioner have traditionally been
handled by the meditation teacher. Mark D. Epstein, Jonathan Lieff,
"Psychiatric Complications of Meditation Practice," The Journal of
Transpersonal Psychology, vol. 13, no. 2, 1981, p. 137.

The authors conclusions are based on their ten years of experience

observing literally "hundred of meditators." They note that "practitioners of
meditation, often swimming in the rhetoric of transformation, may fail to
recognize the regressive nature of much of their experiences." Ibid., p. 139.

After a long discussion of the psychiatric complications noted in the

literature, they conclude with a significant observation: "Meditation may be
conceptualized as a developmental process that may produce side effects
anywhere along the continuum. Some of the side effects may be
pathological in nature while some may be temporary distractions or
hindrances," and they ask, "How can innocuous side effects of meditation

be differentiated from debilitating ones?" Ibid., pp. 144-145.

The point is that they cannot be differentiated. The person who meditates in
the Eastern or occult manner takes risks with his bodily health, his mental
health, and his spiritual health, as a great deal of research and literature
demonstrates. Komilla Thapa, Vinoda Murthy, "Experiential
Characteristics of Certain Altered States of Consciousness," The
Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, vol. 17, no. 1, 1985; Jack
Kornfield, "Intensive Insight Meditation: A Phenomenological Study,"
The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, vol. 11, no. 1, 1979; John
Weldon, Zola Levitt, The Transcendental Explosion (Irvine CA: Harvest
House Publishers); John Ankerberg, John Weldon, Craig Branch,
Thieves of Innocence: Protecting Our Children from New Age
Teaching and Occult Practices (Eugene, OR: Harvest House
Publishers, 1993), pp. 182-184.

The following are some of the characteristics experienced at the deeper

levels of a particular type of Buddhist vipassana meditation, but they are not
unique to it. They include spontaneous movements, experiencing dramatic
"energy flows," unusual breathing, dream and time changes, out-of-the-body
experiences, and psychic phenomena. The descriptions given in the
"spontaneous movement" category included much twitching, involuntary
jerks, violent shaking, spontaneous yoga stretching, jerking, weird faces,
drooling, pain, arms dancing, head rolling, falling over, violent shakes,
loosening, and arms flapping like wings. Kornfield, "Intensive Insight
Meditation," pp. 41-45.

On his own meditative journey, vipassana practitioner Jack Romfield said,

"[M]y arms started to involuntarily flap like I was a chicken or another bird. I
tried to stop them and I could barely do it, and if I relaxed at all, they would
flap.... For two days I sat there watching my arms flap." Stanislav Grof,
Christina Grof (eds.), Spiritual Emergency (Los Angeles, CA: J. P.
Tarcher, 1989), p. 155.

Meditators also described many other experiences, such as loss of body

awareness, the body disappearing, leaving the body, the head detaching
itself, the body growing huge, LSD-like visions, hallucinations, and visions of
Buddha. Almost half of those completing student questionnaires reported
"especially dramatic mood swings." These included huge releases of anger,
"screaming mind trips," depression, fantastic mood swings, "turbulence of
mind," "days of acute anxiety," "violent crying," restlessness, and
"hellishness." Kornfield, "Intensive Insight Meditation," pp. 47-49.

It is hardly surprising that one hears about meditation-induced casualties,

when the very process of meditation is designed to radically dismantle the

divinely instituted functions of human perception. After all, if one refuses to
play by the rules, one might expect problems.

Many of the horrors experienced by committed meditators are also revealed

by Tal Brooke, the former leading Western disciple of Indias premier guru,
Sathya Sai Baba. Before receiving his graduate degree in religion from
Princeton University, Brooke wrote Riders of the Cosmic Circuit, Tal
Brooke, Riders of the Cosmic Circuit: Rajneesh, Sai Baba,
Muktananda Gods of the New Age (Batavia, IL: Lion, 1986).

a little-known but urgently needed expos unveiling much Eastern

metaphysics for what they really are: forms of Satanism. But the power of
the book also lies in documenting the hazards of many Eastern paths,
including the radical breakdown of personal morality, suicides, and
insanity. Ibid., pp. 140-154,190-202.

These kinds of profoundly regressive states of consciousness are one

reason for the confusion surrounding so-called "enlightenment," and how to
properly evaluate it and distinguish it or its components from
psychopathology (e.g., madness or insanity). Experiences of Easter and
occult "enlightenment" and mental illness are often so similar that even
some New Agers are baffled at their correspondence.

Dr. Maggie Phillips, the director of the California Institute of Clinical

Hypnosis and a licensed psychologist in Oakland who teaches workshops to
colleagues around the world on the proper applications of relaxation
therapies. "I've had people that went to these five- to eight-day-long
retreats, and they were practically basket cases when they came out the
other end. And they're told, "You just have to be more patient.' A lot of
spiritual teachers don't know how to look at the internal dynamics and how
they interact with types of relaxation and meditation."

Dr. Margaret Singer, clinical psychologist emeritus at Berkeley, with

research partner Dr. Janja Lalich, collected case histories from 70 clients
seeking treatment for problems that began during meditation practice. Their
research presents several examples of these symptoms and notes that prior
to meditating, none of the patients had individual or family histories of
mental disorders.

These results support what other researchers have discovered about the

side effects meditation can cause. Dr. Michael Persinger, a psychologist at

Laurentian University in Canada, found in 1993 that meditation induces
epilepsylike brain seizures in some people. His study of 1,081 students
showed that the 221 meditators among them had a higher rate of
hallucinating floating spots of light, hearing voices, and even feeling the floor
shake. Other studies reported that meditators complained of feeling
emotionally dead and seeing the environment as unreal, two-dimensional,
amorphous. Those results aren't surprising if meditation reduces blood flow
to the parietal lobe. In longtime meditators, unreality can strike
spontaneously. Singer describes it as "involuntary meditation." One of her
patients took anti-seizure medication for 25 years after quitting meditative
practice to regain control of his mind.

Other side effects fall under the paradoxical umbrella of "relaxation-induced

anxiety," or RIA. Instead of relaxing during meditation, RIA sufferers feel
distressed. Psychologists at Virginia Commonwealth University monitored
30 chronically anxious people during guided meditation. Seventeen percent
indicated that their anxiety got worse. A previous study led by Dr. Frederick
Heide at Pennsylvania State University reported that the same happened to
54 percent of the subjects. Symptoms of RIA include panic attacks,
sweating, a pounding heart, spasms, odd tingling sensations, and bursts of
uncontrollable laughter or tears. RIA can also aggravate conditions, such as
schizophrenia, depression, asthma, and bleeding ulcers, that were
previously stable.
Dangers to Mental State (Psychopathology)
Properly evaluating the relationship between enlightenment and
psychopathology has been difficult for some people because what we
commonly define as mental illness in the West is actually a sign or
component of "enlightenment" in the East. In other words, many Eastern
gurus teach that periods of insanity indicate spiritual enlightenment! This is
why it is called "divine madness." The Hindu guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
once quaintly remarked that many of his disciples were going to become
zombies, and all to the good:
You be a Zombie. Be a perfect Zombie.... This is what is happening:
catalepsy.... This is going to happen to many. Dont be afraid when it
happens. ... You become idiotic.... And [it is] good, because it will destroy
the past.... That is the whole meaning of sannyas and discipleship: That
your past has been completely washed awayyour memory, your ego, your
identityall has to go. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, "God Is a Christ in a
Christ," Sannyas, May-June 1978, p. 11.

Meher Baba teaches that many of Indias insane, the Masts, who in the
West would be treated in mental hospitals, are in various stages of spiritual
evolution. They are mad precisely because they are so spiritually committed
to God. C. B. Purdom, The God-Man: The Life, Journeys and Work of
Meher Baba (London: George Allen & Unwin, Ltd., 1964), pp. 137-39.

Meher Baba calls them the "God-intoxicated" ones. In the words of

biographer and disciple C.B. Purdom:
They are in a state of mental and physical disorder because their minds are
overcome by strong spiritual energies that are far too much for them, forcing
them to renounce the world, normal human habits and customs, and
civilized society, and to live in a condition of chaos. They are psychological
cases beyond the reach of psychoanalysis, because their condition is too
advanced and obscure for any known procedures. Their minds are in some
way shattered and their brains cannot fully function. Only a spiritual Master,
says Baba, who is aware of the divine spirit that possesses them, which
causes them to be unfit for normal society, can be of any help to them, and
even his help reaches them with difficulty as they are virtually shut off from
human contact. They are in the world but not of it. In Babas terms they are
"God-intoxicated souls." Ibid., p. 137.

Significantly, the Masts became mad from meditative practices, and during
some of these practices it was "by sudden contact with a highly advanced
spiritual being." Ibid.

It is supposedly a "divine spirit that possessed them which causes them to

be unfit for normal society." Ibid., emphasis added.

The famous Ramakrishna experienced insanity while undertaking his duties

as a priest in the temple of Kali, and at many other times. During meditation
he would experience a "divine delirium" and see demonic creatures
emerging from him. For him, the truly enlightened soul often acts, in his
words, "like a madman." Mahendranath Gupta, The Gospel of Sri
Ramakrisna, 6th ed. (New York: Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center,
1977), p. 405; cf. p. 548).

Biographer Romain Rolland described part of Ramakrishnas experiences:

He was no longer capable of performing the temple rites. In the midst of the
ritual acts he was seized with fits of unconsciousness, sudden collapses
and petrifactions, when he lost the control of the use of his joints and
stiffened into a statue.... Minute drops of blood oozed through his skin. His
whole body seemed on fire.... He became the Gods himself.... He was the
great monkey [god], Hanuman.

The legion of Gods swooped upon him like a whirlwind. He was torn in
pieces. He was divided against himself. His madness returned tenfold. He
saw demonic creatures emerging from him.... He remained motionless,

watching these manifestations issue from him.... He felt madness

approaching.... Two years went by in this orgy of mental intoxication and
despair. Romain Rolland, The Life of Ramakrisna, vol. 1 (Calcutta,
India: Advaita Ashrama, 1979), pp. 36-37, 41.

On his own path to enlightenment, Gopi Krishna "passed through almost all
the stages of different, mediumistic, psychotic, and other types of mind;
[and] for some time [he] was hovering between sanity and insanity." Gopi
Krishna, The Awakening of Kundalini (New York: E. P. Dutton, 1975), p.
124.

Da Free John extols the "divine madness" of his own gurus, Nityananda,
Muktananda, and Rudrananda:
True yogis are living forceful beings. They are madmen, absolutely mad
and absolutely dangerous. ... Look at Nityanandahe severed heads all his
life.... Those who came to him ...were wiped out, torn apart.... My
experience with people like Rudi, Muktananda, Nityananda, and others was
like this: I would be sitting in my house in New York by myself, and this force
would enter me, it would practically break my neck, and my body and mind
would be taken over. And I would walk around as Nityananda, as Rudi, as
Muktananda, literally.... [T]hese wildmen served that process [of
enlightenment]. Bubba Free John, No Remedy: An Introduction to the
Life and Practices of the Spiritual Community of Bubba Free John, rev.
ed. (Lower Lake, CA: Dawn Horse Press, 1976), pp. 275; cf. Franklin
Jones [Da Free John], The Method of the Siddhas (Los Angeles, CA:
Dawn Horse Press, 1973), pp. 256-258.

Such stories could be multiplied ad nauseam. This modern penchant to

reinterpret demonism and insanity as "true spirituality" is illustrated in
numerous books, such as by consciousness researchers Stanislav and
Christina Grof (eds.) in Spiritual Emergency: When Personal Transformation
Becomes a Crisis and The Stormy Search for the Self. Chapter titles from
Spiritual Emergency include such items as "When Insanity Is a Blessing:
The Message of Shamanism." Grof and Grof, Spiritual Emergency, pp.
77-97.

The introduction to the book informs us that pathological states of

consciousness, when "properly understood and treated supportively," can
produce "healing and have very beneficial effects on the people who
experience them." Ibid., p. x.

Ng B-Y in hes article "Qigong-induced mental disorders" Australian

and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, April 1999, vol. 33, no. 2, pp.

197-206(10) writes "Qigong remained veiled in secrecy and available only to

the elite until the early 1980s. Despite the widespread use of Qigong, there
is a conspicuous lack of controlled data regarding its effects on mental
health. Qigong, when practised inappropriately, may induce abnormal
psychosomatic responses and even mental disorders. However, the ties
between Qigong and mental disorders are manifold, and a causal
relationship is difficult to establish. Many so-called Qigong-induced
psychoses may be more appropriately labelled Qigong-precipitated
psychoses, where the practice of Qigong acts as a stressor in vulnerable
individuals." In the article entitled "Chinese hypnosis can cause qigong
induced mental disorders" by Sing Lee associate professor of psychiatry
Department of Psychiatry, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Dr. Lee writes
"In the past two decades many reports of mental disorders induced by
qigong have been published in the Chinese psychiatric literature. In the
Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders, second revised edition
(CCMD2-R), qigong induced mental disorder is found as a culture related
mental disorder. In psychologically vulnerable individuals, qigong induced
health disturbances or pian cha are believed to arise from the inappropriate
application of qigong or the inability to "terminate the qigong" (shougong), or
both. When severe they are known as zou ("run") huo ("fire") ru ("enter") mo
("devil"); this means that the flow of qi deviates from the jing luo conduits
and becomes fire, as a result of which a devil enters the person
(metaphorically, referring to the emergence of psychotic symptoms)." All of
this illustrates the deep spiritual confusion now coursing throughout our
nation. The East has indeed come West and society must be prepared to
deal with the consequences.

Dangers of Yoga
Yoga is a special physical exercise peculiar to India. Its characteristics are
suffering and perseverance. Yoga practitioners are unbelievably restrained.
Of course, when it is spread out over the world, Yoga has already lost its
essence and become simply a health-improving method like gymnastics.
The methods of the practice of Yoga involve treating human body cruelly,
putting the body in almost untenable postures, suffering hunger, swallowing
strings in order to clean the intestines, keeping the same posture for a long
time, holding the breath for a long time, or even cutting the tie under the
tongue to stretch it long enough to reach the part that is between the nose
and the mouth because in this way the practitioner can practice having the
ability to breath little. Some Yoga practitioners are able to lie in hibernation
underground for a month, depending on only the air in the coffin in which
they lie, which is sufficient for them. Usually, the hibernators will need many
Yoga practitioners to wake them up through meditation.

There are many websites and some organisations that have been
developed for the purpose of brining to light the dangers of Yoga which
regrettably few people seem to be aware of ie Kundalini Risks &
Information , Kundalini Signs And Symptoms Branded by the spirirt
Kundalini Awakening. Anything that involves the intervention of the Demonic
realm will often result in adverse effect e.g. Kundalini Syndrome.

I was very pleased that in September 2004 Egypt's highest Islamic

theological authority has called yoga an "ascetic Hindu practise that should
not be used in any manner of exercise or worship". The edict signed by the
Mufti Ali Gomoa, called the practise of yoga "an aberration" and said
mimicking it was "forbidden religiously".

Such a fatwa in my opinion was long overdue, and I now hope maybe the
Theological Council will make a similar such ruling with respect to Qigong
Chi and other Eastern Arts, especially given that many of China's most
famous martial artists have infact been Muslims (known as the Hui people in
China) and they have made significant contributions at the highest level to
the Chinese systems of martial arts and indeed many other systems in
different
countries
(See
Muslim
Chinese
Martial
Arts).

The similarities between Hindu and Buddhist practices is striking, in fact if

we take the subject of this website as an example we see even qigong is
often referred to as the Chinese Yoga by many practitioners. Throughout
my research I have realized that there is a consistent theme within Chinas
main religions and Hindu practices and that they often spill over into each
other, such as the following:
1.

2.

Of the most blatant is that they are the worlds most

idolatrous and ancient religions. (See Buddhism an
Idolatrous Religion).

Both offered their own versions of their esoteric energies, The

Buddhists/Taoist/Conficianist name it Qigong or Chi whist the Hindus call it
Prana.

3. Both religions also believe in an untappped center of energy around the

base of the spine (dantien or elixir field).

4.

The Buddhists/Taoist/Conficianist describe the acupoints or meridians as

channels whereby the chi flows and similarly the Hindus describe this as the
chakra points.
5.

Both Hinduism and Buddhism emphasize the illusory

nature of the world and the role of karma in keeping men

bound to this world, transmigration of souls and the cycle of

births and deaths. (See for a critique of the theory of Karma
and Reincarnation)
6. Both believe in he existence of gods or deities on difference
planes.
7.

Both believe in certain spiritual practices like meditation,

concentration, cultivation of certain bhavas or states of mind
and ultimately achieving some form of enlightenment.

8.

Both religions claim to see Taoist Golden orbs or diksha

golden balls during certain meditative practices and rituals.

9.

Both believe in paranormal activities upon following

various rituals and worship

10. Both believe in harmful affects that can accrue through

various spiritual practices e.g. Qigong Deviation Syndrome
(Qigong psychosis) and Kundanlani Syndrome.

11. Both believe in detachment, renunciation of worldly life as a

precondition to enter to spiritual life. Both consider desire as
the chief cause of suffering.
12. The Advaita philosophy of Hinduism is closer to Buddhism
in many respects.
13. Buddhism and Hinduism have their own versions of Tantra.
14. Both originated and evolved on Indian soil. The founder of
Buddhism was a Hindu who became the Buddha. Hence
Buddhism is regarded as the greatest gift of India.
15. Buddhism acknowledged the existence of some gods and
goddesses of Hindu pantheon, but give them a rather
subordinate status.
16. The original Buddhism as taught by the Buddha is known as
Theravada Buddhism or Hinayana Buddhism. Followers of
this do not worship images of the Buddha nor believe in the
Bodhisattvas. The Mahayana sect considers the Buddha as
the Supreme Soul or the Highest Being, akin to the
Brahman of Hinduism and worship him in the form of
images and icons.
17. Hinduism accepts the Buddha as an incarnation of
Mahavishnu, one of the gods of Hindu trinity. The Buddhist
do not accept any Hindu god either as equivalent or
superior to the Buddha.
18. In Buddhist, Hindu as well as Taoist beliefs there is an
assumption that the underlying state of reality is nothing.
Taoists calls this Wu Chi (Wu means "empty" or "void" and

"Chi means "limit") , Buddhist call it the state of ultimate

attainment Sunyata, the "Void", and in the Vedantic
philosophy of India, the highest state is called Nirguna
Brahman.
19. In Chinese philosophical teaching there is the belief that there is no
personal Godall is the impersonal Tao (similar to the impersonal Godforce of pantheism in Hinduism). The Tao is composed of conflicting
opposites (Yin and Yang) which should be balanced or harmonized through
yoga, meditation, etc., to promote spiritual wholeness. According to legend,
Taoism founder Lao-tzu wrote Tao Te Ching (The Way and Its Power)
about 550 BC. His teaching was developed and spread in the third century
BC by Chuang-Tzu, whose writings inspired the Tao Tsang, 1200 volumes of
Taoist scripture.

Monotheism in Ancient China

It is hard to comprehend that ancient Chinaprior to 500 BC, was once a
land of pure monotheism where the worship of Shang Ti the One
imageless Supreme God prevailed. All forms of idolatry were strictly
prohibited. Only afterwards did polytheism start making deep inroads into
mainstream Chinese beliefs. Part of the success of this can be put to the
titanic battles that occurred around the 2nd millennium BC where black magic
was shunned and given no room to develop in ancient China which thus had
to spawn its pernicious practise elsewhere, such as shamanism to the south
in south-east asia (e.g. Thailand, Burma and the Indochinas) and north to
Shintoism in Japan and shamanism in Mongolia, Siberia and North America
and then Central America. The proponents of monotheism amongst the
ancient Chinese emperors from Chuan Hsu (2600 BC) down toYaoand
Shun (255 BC) can be credited for much of this having had to contend with
the southern Chinese tribes of Jiu Li and San Miao which sought to bring in
occult practices.

There is no question that the ancient Chinese believed on one Almighty

God. All the records, from the earliest times, testify to this. They called him
Di, the Lord, or Shang Ti, the Lord Above Unlike other people,
however, they never endowed their God with human attributes or with any
kind of physical image. From all records prior to 2nd century B.C. there is no
indication that they had ever worshipped idols In fact, idol worship was
introduced to China only after the advent of Buddhism in the 1st century
A.D.

incNew York.

Confucius who has long been regarded as a prophet of God by many

Islamic scholars preached such a message of monotheism (as did all the
messengers of God that to worship the one true God who is both distinct
and separate from hes creation and not to make partners with him) and it
was during hes reign that he had to fend off the beginnings of the
encroachment into deviant idolatrous practises eroding the pure
monotheism he taught. However it must be noted the Confucianism of
today has become severely distorted over time and no longer reflects the
pure monotheistic message of its original founder.

The effectiveness of Confucius teachings of the power of truth hood over

falsehood are well illustrated by the example of a well known battle that
once occurred between a wu (shaman) from Yueh region and a Confucian
scholar named Tung Chung Shu who remonstrated against Emporer Wu
at the time for hes involvement in the dark arts during the Han dynasty (140
to 86 B.C.). In anger the Emporer commanded the wu to execute a death
spell against Tung Chung Shu. The Confucian scholar put on hes court
dress and then started to recite a Confucian Classic. As the wu began hes
demonic attack by going into a trance all of a sudden half way through he
died. The Emporer realised the folly of hes ways and promoted Tung
Chung Shu and resolved to worship only Shang Ti there on in. Thus the
power of the Tao of God had prevailed over evil.

Such beliefs of absolute monotheism are also integral to the Islamic

religion.

He is Allah, the Eternal, the One, the Absolute. None is born of him nor is
he born, he begetteth not nor is he begotten and there is nothing like him.
SuratIklas Quran
(See Audio Lecture on Islamic Monotheism and the Statue of Buddha by
Sheikh Ali-Tamimi)

From 100 AD as a result of the onset of the affects of Buddhism in

ancient China as well as the resurgent southern tribes of China
renewing their efforts to propagate deviant practises, we see today
within the space of almost 2000 years China has undergone a sea
change from monotheism to polytheism along with its darker off shoots
of magic and a culture of superstitious practises which pervades all
aspects of modern Chinese life (and indeed the life style of other
countries in south east asia). (See Buddhism an Idolatrous Religion)

Such practises of idolatry and magic go hand in hand, this is because

idolatry represents the greatest form of oppression whereby a person deifies
creation e.g. this can be either in the form of an individual (Buddha) or a
location (the Hindus) thus negating the supreme power of the one true God
i.e. Shang Ti , Allah etc. Also magic rites will invariably have connotations of
idolatry e.g. the magician will worship other besides God and or make
sacrifices etc thus appeasing the jinns to gain their assistance.

Although the belief in magic and the supernatural exists in all societies, the
Chinese have embraced it like no other.
It seems that to the Chinese mind, one of the first essentials in order to live
in harmony with this world is to coordinate the activities of man with those of
all the spirits, both beneficent and maleficent, who are believed to people
the other world. Chinese Magic and Superstitions in Malaya by Leon
Comber p1.
Hence the Chinese mind set plagued by this way of thinking has
approached the problems of everyday life best by evoking the help of the
spirits (jinns) and seeking their advise in seeing into the future and planning
accordingly. The agency by which this is facilitated
are Taoist and Buddhist priests, mediums, necromancers, geomancers,
palmists, physiognomists, phrenologists, astrologers, and other fortunetellers, who with their seemingly magical knowledge of the spirit world and
pre-knowledge of things to come, are to be found everywhere there are
Chinese. Ibid p.2.

Chinese Magic
The Chinese is one of the few modern races where magic has survived
since the dim dawn of human history dating as far back as 4000 B.C. and
which still forms a significant portion of the mystic, often by using secret
names, spells, enchantments, formulas, pictures, figures, amulets and
performing of ceremonies to produce supernatural results.
Chinese Black Magic An Expose by Chinese Black Magic by Dr Ong
Heat-Tatt p.3 chp 1

Every ethnic religion is filled with magic. It is used as a method of gaining

ones desires from the gods and of controlling the evil spirits which are ever
ready to harm one. Through it they would win the blessings of long life,
happiness and prosperity, but also an easy way of revenge. Wherever the
gods fail to grant ones prayers, he resorts to magic as a plan to forcibly
obtain his wishes. Through it, the unseen and hostile powers are governed

for ones benefit, and the discomfort of ones enemies.

Plopper (1935)

Practionars of magic often pursue their art with great diligence as it requires
knowledge of orders of the universe and the earth, plant and animal worlds,
properties of spirits, astrology, herbology, mineralogy, even medicines,
mathematics and alchemy.
Magic is conducted by utilising rites, incantations, magical names, mystical
characters and symbols, fumigations or burning. The mind of the operator of
magic would be prepared through repentance, expiation, fasting, ablutions,
cleansing, meditation and other ceremonies, including sacrifices. Chinese
Black Magic by Dr Ong Heat-Tatt p.5

The jinns may demand anything from polytheistic idolatrous practises to be

performed to the worship of other than God, to self imbulation through self
tourcher e.g. whipping or cutting oneself or indeed degenerate acts e.g.
drinking menstrual blood, smearing oneself in thesis, isolating oneself from
friends and family for a long period of time, insulting or violating scared
texts, or even the ultimate human sacrifice on the altar. The evil jinns
(shayteen) being party to Satanism also possess an extreme hatred and
inferiority complex against humans and so will be determined to
inadvertently humiliate the magician in as much as is possible. The
magicians through usurping the powers of the jinnie will believe they
exercise great control, in fact the opposite couldnt be more true the jinnie
has thus succeeded in subverting the magicians values and norms and
through the magician spreads nothing but corruption throughout the whole
of society.

Also once the magician begins hes career in this debauched practise he will
find the jinns wont let him leave, it is also very common for many spells
often to reverse themselves on the spell maker thus demonstrating that the
magician really has no complete control over the jinnies at all.

The people who possess such powers (e.g. the Chinese wuist priests) are
often either greatly respected or feared (in some cases even persecuted by
people and rulers). The magician is only able to perform supernatural acts
through the intervention of the jinnies (demons) that will exact an exorbitant
price from the magician in return for their services.

The Sai Kong, i.e. male wuist priests largely occupy themselves with
sacrificial work, south saying work and divination, calling upon the shayteen
(evil jinns/devils) for assistance. Their altars display the pictures of Lao Tzu
and also Chang Tao Ling. Their wu-ship is often hereditary due to the
secret nature of all the treasure of the mystic knowledge of ceremonies,
formulae, charms and spells. Hence there is often a strong incentive to keep
it in the family or close by, As the shayteen outlive humans considerably,
there would often be a smooth succession over their control by other
members of the Sai Kongs family. If their was no one to pass the family
spirits into then it is said the Sai Kong would be liable to suffer an agonizing
death. This is what we find that practionars of magic once in cannot leave
the fold of the occult. Tao Nai-nai are the female equivalent of the male Sai
Kong, hence they are termed female Taoist witches. Typically they offer the
same type of services as their male counter parts, often slipping into
trances, summoning spirits and lightening joss sticks in incense holders and
then observing the ashes as an indication of how the patient would faire.
They also have a notorious reputation of requiring a human sacrifice often of
a family members child , when the elders illness cannot be cured.

The main forms of black magic inChinaare Ku magic (this revolves around
small highly poisonous animals/insects e.g. serpents, scorpions, spiders,
centipedes, frogs and lizards), Lu Pan Magic (i.e. carpenter magic), Mao
Shaun Magic & the six Chia spirits magic.

Building Magic was very common in China (Chin Hua) where by images,
artefacts, models and or figurines (because they are considered to be the
essence of deities, Gods or sprits) as well as dead animals following
sacrifices would be placed at various locations within a building, often within
its very foundations by a building mason, which is why it was very important
to be on good terms with such masons and carpenters incase they
performed magic on the new resident cursing them. Similarly the Book of
Lu Pan, who is regarded as a patron saint of carpenters and artisans and
is considered divine from the Han dynasty, contains many pictures each
with a specific effect e.g. to cause poverty, death or marital discord etc
which the craftsman would utilise. Puppet magic akin to voodoo, was also
very common where by the victims hair, nails or clothes was sought so the
spirit could relate to the victim.

Also ku magic (European equivalent of the witches cauldron) is notorious in

China, whereby a poisonous drink would be served to the victim causing a
variety of different affects from love spells or acquiring the wealth of the
intended victim ore even destroying their live stock or crops etc. Ku magic
has many types, one of the most popular is by placing a variety of different
insects and or reptiles (the most deadly being the golden caterpillar) in a jar
for a certain period often on the 5th day of the 5th moon, after which only one

insect/reptile will prevail within the jar the rest having being devoured, and
then unleashing this on the intended victim, whos five viscera would rot
away. It is also said the insects or reptiles could transform into other animals
e.g. dogs or pig to do their work. Just as the art of using ku magic for
malevolent purposes exists, the method of nullifying its affects of
demoniacal diseases has also developed e.g. by using a gold pin to pierce
the ku, using jan ho (ginger plant), wearing of musk, leek juice mixed with
spirits and a drink prepared from minced stalks of orange trees.

The 5th day of the 5th moon is by no coincidence the Chinese Dragon Boat
Festival (which is strongly connected to ancient rites of human sacrifice) and
symbolically the period of summer solstice. Historically this time is often
been associated with the forces of evil as it signifies the ascendancy of
darkness and it is likely that its inception into Chinese mainstream culture
has foreign roots which migrated to China during ancient times. It is also
the day when according to Chinese folklore that various deities or saints are
invoked to quell demons e.g. Taoist Pope Chang Ta Lin riding out on hes
Tiger and Chung Kuei, and the day when the Pakua is placed on roof tops.

Chinese Black Magic in its most pernicious form can also involve the use of
body parts to subjugate a human soul i.e. kue mei or yen mei meaning
spectres in subjection. This could entail anything from taking specific body
parts of a victim through their deliberate pre-meditated murder, grave
robbery or theft of their soul by placing objects besides a sleeping person to
prevent the return of their soul.

Another powerful form of Chinese Black Magic utilises the six Chia spirits
(chia-tzu, chia-hsu, chia-shen, chia-wu, chia-chen, chia-yen). This is
done by the meticulous writing out of talismans which often have to be
committed to memory and then burnt to summon the spirits. The nine stars
of the northern heavens are invoked to control the spirits each with its own
mudra and mantra. There is also a close relationship between the six spirits
and that of the Ganzhi system. The Tun Chia ceremony of the Taoist left has
often been used to summon the six Chia spirits.

For a complete understanding of the most powerful aspects of Chinese

black magic one must understand the Chinese concept of the five elements
(fire, wood, water, metal and earth) and their respective cardinal directions.
These are the basis of a wide array of magical arts that also includes
Chinese geomancy e.g. Feng Shui. The western concept of magic is also
very similar except it includes four of the above elements (earth, water, air
and fire) the fifth element being ether and breath. Central to this theorem
of Chinese Magic is that the world is composed of these five elements and
that this relationship has one of two possibilities. This dichotomy is either
mutually productive whereby each of the five elements support each other in
a circular fashion. This is known as the Early heaven of Fu Hsi array

and it is considered a harmonious relationship which is propitious to the

family and general well being, as a result this type of pakua is seen hanging
over the front doors of homes across the landscape of China to supposedly
ward off evil.

The second relationship is a destructive one where wood over powers

earth, earth conquers water, water fire and fire metal. This is known as
the Later heaven or King Wen array pakua and was invented around
2600 BC. The elements are each in opposition to each other traversing the
centre of the circle to attack linearly its respective counter part, hence this is
depicted as a pentagram.

In addition King Wen is credited with the I Ching, Book of Changes which
the pakua is closely associated. The I Ching occupies a position of
monumental importance as a repeller against evil forces and it contains a
total of 64 hexagrams.

Thus the ancients realised both the Fu Hsi and the King Wen array pakuas
in addition to the first 2 hexagrams of the I Ching (all considered to be
Feng Shui white magic) where particularly effective against combating
against the evil. This methodology of using magic to break magic
inChinawas and still is a popular way to fight off black magic.
The combinations of two inverted triangles forms what is known as the six
pointed seal of Soloman. Such is the quintessential power of this seal that it
is said to be equated with the stone of immorality. The tip of the top
inverted triangle represents fire and the tip of the bottom inverted triangle it
is water, the interaction of both of the inverted triangles is thus 2 of the 5
elements.
In Chinese system, the animals of the four cardinal directions are also the
four elements. According to some versions the four cardinal directions
animals are placed in the two triangles i.e. Seal of Soloman, to Taoists this
is known as the two mountains i.e. one group the four cardinal directions
and the other group the Six masters.
Conclusion
In conclusion, meditation today is almost universally seen as a positive path
bringing physical or mental health and spiritual wholeness. Unfortunately,
many of those who suffer from such an interpretation have little knowledge
of either the occult tradition behind meditation or the dynamics of spiritual
deception. I have further demonstarted that the concept of Chi as a
amorphous cosmic energy has been known about by other civilisations and
communities, with a similiar set of rituals/movements & problems associated
with them. The perception of Qigong as a practise associated with

quietness, relaxation, and internal harmony has been challenged and

disparaged. The Chinese communities obsession with its history and
superiority and the much elevated position of adoration Martial Artitsts
recieve in the West, often blindes them (to the point of arrogance) choosing
to disseminate a flawed doctrine (based upon occult practises/forces) and to
avoid warning students of the potential risks associated with their practise.
This comes at a time when Chinese quackery medicine is making big
inroads into the gaping vacuum Western medicine presents with the
proliferation of medicine stores and alternative forms of healing up and
down the country, as well as the backdrop of China's ascendency as a great
economic power. For those that seek to deride my writing should at the very
least greet with incredulity the advise given offered to them by their
instructors and look objectively at the facts.

Jinns are very real. Chi Kung is an incorrect term to describe malevolent
entities that only aim to create mischief by occupying a host for their own
fulfillment. The Jinn's live in the stomach where they feed off the contents
the individual ingests, which is why the Chi kung practioner you will observe
always brings the Chi to settle in the lower regions of the stomach i.e. the
"Dantiem" (a position three inches below the naval). It saddens me greatly
to find individuals who are deluded and choose to spread the handy work of
Satan by teaching such illegitimate practices of Chinese Black Magic which
has its origins deeply rooted in primitive shamanism, such people who
incidentally would have two hundred years ago been correctly branded as
Occultists, Witches or Satanists, the difference being in this instance the
perpetrators of this evil (i.e. the instructors of martial arts) are completely
ignorant of the powers/forces they are summoning and tinkering with.

Risk of Qigong
by: Joe Hing Kwok Chu
What is the risk of doing qigong?
Institutions that teach qigong have been sued by people who are taking qigong (chi kung,
chi gong) lessons from them, alleging that the training had caused everything from
emotional damage to psychotic breakdowns to suicide.
About 20 years ago, there was an institution and its instructors that taught qigong were
sued by more than 470 people who claimed they had suffered physical and emotional
damages, according to a San Francisco newspaper, San Francisco Examiner.
Can qigong caused that? Actually qigong can cause serious damages from incorrect
application by the instructions or by learning the types of qigong that do not match the
body, especially learning the self made kind of qigong which has not been proven over
time.
The sickness resulted from doing qigong incorrectly or from receiving incorrect instruction
is called "zou huo ru mo" ( ). The problem can be physiological or psychological
or both. The term "zou huo ru mo" literally means the body is catching fire and entered by
demons. Today the term "pian cha" meaning "deviation" is preferred by many
practitioners.
The problems can show up like mania, psychotic, hallucination, depressed and suicidal,
nervous breakdowns, sudden surge of of heart rates, chronic pain, and split personalities.
This problem also can happen from incorrect training in certain types of yoga (resulted in
kundalini syndrome), certain religious types of meditation and incorrect hypnosis.
There is a secret branch of qigong specially designed to deal with the problem of Zou Huo
Ru Mo.
The author, over 40 years period has helped solved many cases of deviations (zuo huo ru
mo) that were referred to him.
