In the phenomenon known as "synesthesia" in modern psychological research, it has been reported that there have been incidents where a person's five senses may be transformed among each other. For instance, a person may see colors or images upon hearing certain sounds, or smell different scents when seeing certain words and more. Ordinary neurologists believe that this is caused by the overlapping of the brain's five senses' peripheral systems.

Most people think that superpowers are abilities that come on demand, but it is simply not the truth. Superpowers are related to the physical condition, mood and familiarity at the given moment. In over 20 years of research, even highly-skilled superpower possessors like Zhang Baosheng and Sun Chulin cannot immediately carry out successful superpower demonstrations that are highly difficult as soon as they start. The same goes to finger reading.

I. Examples of Direct Conversations with Animals
On January 1, 2004, Ms. T's second master in the spirit world interrupted our finger reading experiment in an unusual manner. After learning his identity and being accepted as his pupil, Ms. T began to meditate daily and practiced her techniques in communicating with animals. By the end of that year, Ms. T had already grasped the basic skills and could talk with certain animals.
The following are conversations between pets, brought by students learning Human Potential Project Course, and Ms. T on December 24, 2004:

I. Do the Folk Deities Have Websites in the Spirit World?
Temples have been erected throughout Taiwan. Various local deities are being worshiped by hundreds and thousands of believers over the years at large-scale Buddhist or Taoist temples and also at simple roadside shrines. Have such folk deities set up websites at the information field?

I. Understanding Animal Language As a Child
During her childhood visit to the zoo one time, at the monkey section, Ms. T had suddenly heard a monkey ask another monkey, "Would you like to visit my home?" "Sure!" replied the other monkey. Then the two monkeys held hands and jumped to the cave at the back of their enclosure. When she went home, she also understood certain things that the papa bird was teaching his babies. However, her ability to communicate with the animals had only lasted for three months. Reminiscing this unusual experience, she was determined to become a veterinarian and to cure the animals of any pain or suffering.

I. When Spirits Partake in Experiments
The information field is full of highly sentient information (spirits) and their websites, and we frequently click on their websites during finger reading experiments. Could they feel irritated, and as a result interfere with our experiment, leading to chaotic results? They could, and they do.

I. Upon Meeting Mr. Chen Taoqiu, Collector of Ancient Literature on Extrasensory Perception (ESP)
In October 1997, the fourth "Chinese Somatic Science Conference" was held in Beijing, and hundreds of researchers on somatic science from China, Japan, and Taiwan had gathered at the Beijing City Library for a three-day conference on the latest research results on extrasensory perception (ESP) in humans. In October, the wind was already biting in Beijing and the temperature neared zero degree Celsius. Nevertheless, the venue was warmed by passionate debates, and everyone was anxious for new findings and surprises. Everyone was filled with a sense of pride and mission, for leading cutting-edge science and pioneering mankind to explore the wonders and myths of the universe within our anatomies.

1. When I was young, I thought it was a superstition to burn incense and worship Buddha
Every time you pass by large temples, you can see hundreds of believers burning incense while praying and bowing down. When I was young, I would follow the custom by burning incense as a ritual. I would not ask the Buddha for blessing or asking the Buddha for help by granting me a wish. The reason is simple: I did not believe in a world where gods, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas really exist.

1. Realizing finger reading can be trained
The superpowers of the human body are always dazzling and enviable. Jesus cast out demons and healed diseases, walked on the sea, turned water into wine, and fed five thousand people with a slice of bread. The Buddha had six supernatural powers: Divine Realm, Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Ear, the penetration of others' thoughts, the penetration of past lives, and the penetration of the extinction of outflows. He has the ability to travel through time and space, transform everything with no obstacles. Taoist immortals or Zhenren, such as Lu Dongbin, Zhang Sanfeng, etc., can break through spatial barriers. We also know that these abilities are only possessed by a very small number of people, and most of us can only feel inadequate. However, Associate Professor Chen Shouliang of the Department of Biology, then Dean of Academic Affairs of Peking University, and his wife Associate Professor He Muyan, deconstructed this myth in 1979.

1. Mainstream science disagrees
After 30 years of research on Qigong and the superpowers of the human body, some like-minded people in the fields of medicine, physics, and sports have gradually participated in the research, but everyone is still occasionally attacked by the mainstream scientific community. This situation is very uncomfortable. However, looking back at the history of these traditional folk customs including the development of Chinese medicine in the past 50 years, I have to lament that the development of such fields as body, mind, and soul has to be led by politics instead of being spontaneously produced by the academic community. This also shows that the development of modern science has moved towards the opposite of spiritually, falling into a self-righteous maze that nothing exists in where there is no scientific evidence.
