“No Monk-y Business”

Categories: RELATIONSHIPS, SELF
Do we have our own spiritual power like the stuff that Shoalin monks practice, using spiritual energy they call ‘chi’ to block bullets or set stuff on fire or energy healing; is that stuff for real?  And is it okay to practice that stuff, like, even if we do not have our own power, we can still learn to use ourselves by putting spiritual body and mind beyond the norm to do things, right?

Sincerely,
Ready To Use The Force

Dear Ready To Use The Force,

We do not have our own spiritual power.  The only time people can do things miraculously is if God gives them the power (Jhn 3:2).  Feel free to practice martial arts, etc., but don’t think that by training your body, you will reach a point when you can break the laws of physics.
