I find this topic very interesting - but as an engineer myself, I find it rather odd why Kosta Danaos felt the need to present his critical journey to John Chang predominantly as a story that almost reads like a TV show. First and foremost, I do not understand the reasoning behind writing a book about how he feels the chi works within his body - but then not offering a step by step guide to his readers on achieving the first, second, and third levels of his abilities. Not to mention it has been a full 20 years since the creation of his book, and still no new information from him or John Chang.
I still think the initial footage of Dynamo Jack is incredibly interesting, and nearly enough proof on its own for definitive confirmation of Chi. However, the writings about being a student under his tutelage I find very lacking in their mission statements/providing information to the western world.
Hmm great question, thanks for the reply.
Last I checked, kostas had mostly given up on mo pai, and begun teaching an internal martial art he invented called pammachon. He did however answer some questions via an “interview” on thetaobums which you may find enlightening on his stance on things. I don’t know anything beyond that for certain, but maybe he had a falling out with Chang when the school got closed to westerners, leading him to start his own school.
I agree it reads slightly more as a story or narrative than a chronological recounting of their time together...there are pros and cons to both ways, and I really do believe it when so many people talk about possible serious negative effects from messing around with this stuff. Kundalini psychosis seems real given how much I’ve seen about it, in addition to the negative physical effects possible. But still understanding this forgotten science is our best hope at improving life on earth, imho
Yes, and as I said, if he was so utterly and deeply concerned with the science and the investigations into these things - you'd think he would've done everything in his power to get his knowledge of training onto paper or film. I really find this topic interesting, as I said earlier, but this is a really unfortunate let down for getting a good insight into this side of the world. Kinda like somebody finding Bigfoot, talking about how neat it was to be with them, and yet somehow never disclosing where it happened, bringing back any fur or photos, etc. etc.
I agree, it is disappointing and hard to understand. Same with Lawerence Blair and the three scientists (or atleast the two still working scientists, I can understand the medic/sailor moving on with a “wow cool” lol).
I dunno, but like you say, there’s so much there that convinces you (me), that while it is disappointing I can move on without knowing. If you look into the other westerner who found Chang and wrote a book, he’s got a sad tale.
