|  | The Magus of Java by Kosta Danaos
In 1988 the documentary RING OF FIRE was released to great acclaim. The most startling sequence in the film is that of a Chinese Javanese acupuncturist who demonstrates his full mastery of the phenomenon of chi, or bio energy, by generating an electrical current within his body, which he uses first to heal the filmmaker of an eye infection and then to set a newspaper on fire with his hand. RING OF FIRE caused thousands to seek out this individual, John Change, in pursuit of instruction. Of the many Westerners who have approached him, John Chang has accepted five as apprentices. Kosta Danaos is the second of those five. In his years of study with John Chang, Danaos has witnessed and experienced pyrokinesis, telekinesis, levitation, telepathy, and much more exotic phenomena. He has spoken with spirits and learned the secrets of reincarnation. Most important, he has learned John Chang's story. John Chang is the direct heir to the lineage of the sixth century B.C. sage Mo Tzu, who was Confucius's greatest rival. His discipline, called the Mo Pai, is little known in the West and has never before been the subject of a book to be published revealing the story of his life, his teachings, and his powers. It will surely expedite what may well become the greatest revolution of the twenty first century the verification and study of bio energy. AUTHOR: Kosta Danaos
