Hisbook helps us to understand that in the pastthere were a lot of tricks being played on thepublic. History mentions many immortals,and in his book Wong Ting Gee does not denythat many of them had a very high level ofskill in <strong>Qigong</strong>. Although some were genuine,there were some others who were frauds.His book teaches us that we need to openour eyes to look at things clearly, otherwisewe would have to treat David Copperfield asa high level <strong>Qigong</strong> master.One story Wongdescribes happenedin Hawaii.There weresome peopletrying todevelop someancient Hawaiianwitchcraft. Oneman claimed to bea wizard and hewould use a stick inhis witchcraft. Hewould insert his stickinto the sand and thencast a spell on it. To dothis he had toconcentrate all his energyon the stick and he alsoneeded the power of thesea, which was why hepractised on the beach.Sometimes he would sit for awhole day concentrating his energy onthe stick and at the same time the sea wouldgive him a lot of energy.All the people knew about this kindof training and no one liked to come near thewizard. Even after the wizard had gone, noone dared to come and take the stick out ofthe sand.One young man did not believe inwitchcraft and the tales the people told aboutit. While the wizard was not there he wentand pulled the stick out of the ground andbroke it. However, the wizard returned andsaw what the young man had done.He said to the young man, “You will die inseven days.”The young man went back home andtold his family what had happened. Everyonewas afraid of the wizard’s spell. Some evensaid they knew people who had died whenthey caused a problem with the wizards. Theyoung man grew more and more afraid.The young man’s parents asked manypeople if they could help solve the problem,but no one could help. However, anotherwizard said that the young man should go asfar away as possible and not stay in Hawaii.The young man listened, bought a ticket andflew to Austria. But at the end ofthe seventh day he died in a busaccident.Stories like this arequite frightening aren’t they?The young man had alreadysuffered from the wizard’scurse, and his family andfriends were also giving himtheir curse by making himmore and more afraid. Hehimself created all thisnegative energy sothat bythe end of the seventhday he was quitevulnerable. Perhapsthe wizard did havesome power to affectthe young man, butif he had remainedcalm, did not treatit too seriously, and builtup his own positive energy, then hemight have just become ill but would haverecovered quite quickly. Maybe even nothingwould have happened to him.It is important to remain calm, clearyour mind, develop the proper energy andtrain in a natural way. Then other things willnot easily affect you. We practise <strong>Qigong</strong> andthe most important thing is to be healthy andkeep your centre and not lose your ‘balance’.External things are not important, you cannottake them with you when you die.However, if the young man had notbroken the stick nothing would havehappened. So do the right thing.
