China's Super Psychics

[bbc100]

A more recent book China’s Super Psychics (1997) by Paul Dong and Thomas Raffill which gives numerous examples of the extraordinary PK talents of a selection of Chinese psychics who have what they term ‘Exceptional Human Functions’ (EHF). One of them, a man called Zhang Baosheng, has such powerful psi abilities that the Chinese government has grantedhim the status of national treasure, which entitles him to a salary, bodyguard and chauffer driven car (p.7). Zhang works for China’s Defence Ministry and occasionally gives demonstrations for foreign dignitaries. He is reported to be able to teleport objects, “On one occasion, before a large number of witnesses, Zhang caused a hundred-pound [45kg] sack of sugar to move through the walls of a storehouse, ending up in front of them” (p.14). The Chinese police apparently no longer bother giving Zhang driving tickets because he simply makes them disappear. Dong & Raffill claim that as a result of extensive testing of their vast population, the Chinese government has discovered numerous young people with EHF. Many of these are under “special protection” (p.12), so the full extent of their abilities is not known, but some of the tests that are used to select them include seeing whether they can teleport tablets out of sealed bottles or cause flower buds to open by staring at them. Dong & Raffill’s book is not particularly well written, and largely contains anecdotal reports rather than scientific research, but some of these reports are also to be found in Dr Elmar Gruber’s book Psychic Wars: Parapsychology in Espionage and Beyond (1999), which introduces the idea of psi abilities being used for military purposes.

Wasn't there a book on (supposedly real) US military psychic experiments..."Men who stare at goats" or something was the title...

If any thing like that actually ever happened, the world would know. That would be the biggest news since... nothing lol. Sounds nothing but chest thumping to me.

I'm psychic. And let me tell you what's been on my mind for a while reading the thoughts of many, "Tom Cruise! Come out of the closet!"

[Mastermind]

In our unit there was a guy who was pretty spooky. He kept having the same dream...it was of a rider on a white horse...he would tell of that dream while we were laggered up and the next day, every time, one of us would get killed. It came down to just him and me left of the original 7, he had the dream and told me about it one night....scared the hell out of me. I just knew it would me my last night on earth. The next day, during a mortar attack, he caught a big splinter right across his throat and was killed almost instantly. So...I kind'a believe in some of that sap.
