Wait what. You're making a book called "The Dao of the Dragon Ball Series"? Are you publishing this work or is it just something you'll put online for other fans to read and such? Either way I'd really be interested to read what you've written since I have some background in Confucian-Daoist studies.DerekPadula wrote:Kei is right to recognize it as a common phenomenon, and it's all rooted in traditional East Asian concepts of spiritual cultivation based on Buddho-Daoist concepts. Mind is matter, matter is mind.
I realize this doesn't help anybody at the moment, but I'll be talking about this phenomenon in great detail in my upcoming books in The Dao of Dragon Ball series.
Thanks for the news tip about the script writer!

I mean, whether Jesus is real or not, he - he's had a bigger impact on the world than any of us have. And the same can be said for Bugs Bunny and - and Superman and Harry Potter. They've changed my life - changed the way I act on the earth. Doesn't that make them kind of real? They might be imaginary but, but they're more important than most of us here. And they're all gonna be around here long after we're dead. So, in a way, those things are more realer than any of us.

My Bachelor's is in East Asian Studies, Chinese language and culture, I trained with the Shaolin Monks and Taiji masters of China, and I've been a Falun Gong practitioner for 11 years. I know a fair amount about these energy related topics on both an intellectual and experiential level.
I have felt what is depicted here in DBZ.

So... does waving at someone have the same effect?
